Deafness Cannot Be Cured

w local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion ofthe ear. There is only ono
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachan Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine lses out of ten
are caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Plans backed by the Chicago. Mil

coed, add 100000 a year to the
freight revenues of the system from
business handled in the northwest.
and will place in the pockets of the

The powerful system has conferred
the efforts of its industrial department
upon the problem of utilizing the flax
straw which annually rots or is burn
ed on northwestern farms OF the raw
material there is annually 500, 600 tons
worth from 81 TO s. a ton, if it could
be sold.
Col. w. B. Davenport, industrial
commissioner for the system and head
of a department created that it might
build up traffic for the road to haul,
has been spending a week in the
northwest investigating the flax straw
| question, and states that success seems
about to reward the efforts to make
ii profitable.

able machinery is not yet on the mar
ket. | have, however, received word
of several new inventions that meet
existing difficulties, and promise to
make northwestern flax straw very
valuable.
Il am now devoting practically my
entire time to this one problem. We
propose to perfect machinery for the
manufacture of cordage and rope

we have proven that northwestern
flax straw furnishes a fibre of super
iOr excellence and that cut green, the
flax will yield a fibre suitable for use
in the manufacture of linens, an in
dustry almost unknown, although the
northwest buys annually thousands OF
dollars worth of linens.
| Before we are through with this
question, we will have provided means
of utilizing the valuable flax straw in
