To Protect Trained Nurses.

The graduate nurses Of Baltimore
and Maryland are to be commended
for their action, taken at meeting
held recently, in regard to the need or
legislation for the regulation OF tte
profession of scientific nursing. They
propose to prepare a bill, to be intro
auced at the coming session Of the Leg
lslaturc. providing for the protection
of their interests in manner similar
to that enjoyed by physicians. In the
event of the bills passage, all trained
nurses will be properly registered
which will entail test Of their illness
for the profession.
In the work of aiding the sick and
the injured, the trained nurse is FAC
tor whose Importance is second only 10
that of the physician. Frequently her
responsibility Is almost as great. Ar
duous training is required to fit her
for her profession. and when she Is
ready to take up her duties, not only
great skill but unlimited patience is
demanded of her, which is all the more
reason why she should receive full
credit for her abilities and be protected
in her work-a protection that will ben
eft mutually both herself and the pub

Farmers All Rich in Texas.

"rhere was never a timesin the his
tory Of our State when the farmers
had AS much money as they possess this
year." said C. K. Mcclure, Of Brenham,
Texas. at the Riggs House. Hereto
fore only a minority Of our agricultur-
lists were able to boast of having ready
cash, but this year large per cent. OF
them are in funds. Another thing is
that our farmers are beginning to use
the banks, instead Of putting their cash
in old stockings or hiding it away in
secret places; they are going to their
county seats and depositing it in banks
as business men ordinarily do. This
has much to do with the financial show
Ing our institutions are making. Their
deposits are far ahead Of what they
used to be, and the deposits Of many
small country banks make an aggre-
gate that is Observation-Disclosures

LOAN AND TRUST co. CASE.
Decision in Omaha Suit May Affect
Millions of Eastern Money.

Omaha. Neb.-An important decision
in the first of the Omaha Loan and
Trust Company cases was rendered by
Judge Shelton. The case decided was
that OF R. r. Pace VS.. the Gilbert
School Company, Of Winsted, Conn.
Mr.. Pace had paid the Omaha Loan
and Trust Company sum of money,
and later his mortgage and interest
notes, amounting to S1400, turned up in
the hands Of the School Company. The
action was to enjoin the collection of
notes and mortgage by the School CON-
pany on the ground that the money
had been paid the Trust Company and
receipted for by it, and Mr.. Pace won
his case.
The defendant contended that the
plaintiff having willingly paid the
wrong party was not entitled to relief
from his mistake. The loan and trust
company failed three years ago, and
millions of dollars of Eastern money
are involved in it's transactions. Its
method was alleged to be to make
loans on farm property and sell the Sc
curities to Eastern fnanciers. The
Winsted company had invested q por-
ton of its endowment fund in the loan
and trust company's securities.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by ylocalappications ast they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. THERE'S only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition OF the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound orimper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the inham-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, smoothing but an
inflamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.

Havana, Cuba.-The Senate passed
the amendments to the loan law after
eliminating the provision for mini
mum price of ninety cents, thus COM

Government negotiated for the floating
of the loan and also leaving President
Palma free handed regarding the terms
Of the loan.
In addition to the receipts from the
internal stamp taxes President Palma
is authorized to pledge whatever pro-
portion of the customs receipts which
may be deemed sufficient for the pay
ment Of the loan. The Senate added a
new amendment. which is a compro-
mise with those who have insisted on
some sort of declaration that the army
will be paid in full. This amendment
asserts that Congress. III view Of the
increasing amounts which will remain
unpaid. will provide means Of dis
charging these debts without affecting
the guarantees given for the present
loan.
