Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as. they can
not reach the diseased portion of
of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition Of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars Tor any case of Deafness Caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

DR.. Miles Restorative Nerv-
inc has been SO successful in
curing these brain-wrecking
diseases that there is every
reason to believe that even the
most hopeless cases can be
benefited, if not fully restored.
We will be pleased to refer
any one thus afflicted to many
who now enjoy the blessing of
health, after years of hopeless
suffering.
81 have son that had brain fever
when two years old, followed by fits OF
the worst type. and he was pronounced
incurable. ! spent hundreds OF dollars
for him. without relief. After about
fifteen years he became so bad that we
sent him to Longclifr hospital for the
insane, at Logansport, Ind. He was
there nearly three years, but he con-
tinued TO grow worse. SO we brought
him home July 30, 1902, in an awful
condition. He had lost his mind almost
entirely. He hardly knew one OF the
family. could not even find his bed;
was n total wreck. He had from to
10 fits a day. We were urged to try
DIR. Miles Nervine. and before the FIRST
for the better. We have given IL to
him ever since, and he has had but
two very light spells since last August,
1908, and then he was not well other
ways. We pronounce him cured. as he
can work and go anywhere. II any one
wishes to ask any questions concerning
this, they are at liberty to do So"

A series of questions relating to
the work of the departments has
been sent to the heads of the de-
partments by Chairman Keep of
the investigating committee. There
are Io7 questions in the list divided
into FIVE heads-twenty.two relat
ing to the organization of each de-
partment; seventeen to its person
mel; twenty-five to correspondence
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1905-08-10

accounts and miscellaneous.
A prominent official Of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
has declared that the division of
the bureau Of immigration which
has to do with the exclusion and
admission of Chinese, has become
demoralized as a result of the order
issued a few weeks ago by the
President. The effect of the order
has been to make the immigration
inspectors afraid to apply the law
strictly lest complaints be made
against them and their dismisals
ordered. They do not desire to be
known as over jealous, and in con-
sequence laxity exists which prac-
tically vitiates the exclusion laws.
Members of the Chinese legation
here assert that the action of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in admonishing the
immigration officials relative to
over-zealousness ia the enforcement
of the exclusion law, does not
touch the root of the evil, and that
it can have no effect on the boy
colt of American goods in China.

WHY KRATZ WAS ACQUITTED.
Foreman of kratz Jury at Butler, Mo-, Says the states Witnesses
 Were Discrcditcd.

Butler, Mo-, Feb. 27.-H. o. Maxcy, foreman of the kratz jury, said in an interview:
 We found Kratz not guilty because there was not sufficient evidence pre- sented by the state to justify a eonyic- tion; the evidence presented was not Of the right class There was very l;t- tie substantiation of the charge that kratz had any connection with the poodle fund, although 1t was clea. there was money put hl, for that pur- pose. We did noting for the defend ant out of sympathy. don't think the speeches affected the jury at all, al- though they were well presented. The reputation of most all the states wit nesses was bad and We couldn't con- yict on such.
 Other jurymen gave about the same talk, and especially remarked about the disrepute of the states witnesses.

THE DOGGER BANK DECISION
cides the Opening of Fire by Rcjcstyensky Was Not Justified.

Paris, Feb. 27.-The international commission on the North sea incident finds that THE OPENING OF THE FIRE BY ADMIRAL ROJESTVENSKY WAS NOT JUSTIFIED.
 The decision was publicly announced at the closing session of the commits sion Saturday.
 The decision lengthily sets forth the circumstances and incidents, and gives the opinion of the admirals on thS var ious important points involved.
 The decision says the delay of the Russian transport Kamschatka, follow ing the breakdown of her machinery was perhaps the cause of the incident.
 The commander of the kamschatka signaled to Admiral Roiestvensky dur ing the evening that he had been att tackled by torpedo boats. The admiral, therefore. had reason to believe he would be attacked and gave orders for strict vigilance against the possible ap- proach of torpedo boats.

American Mothers.

A young society woman of Chicago. who played the part of nurse girl and governess in several cities, declares that American women care no more about the bringing up of their children than If they were so many cattle" No superii- eial study of American life by a society woman, or anyone else, can serve as an excuse for such a statement, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Society women are not invariably the most attentive mothers. Nevertheless, there never was, probably, a time when society women gave more attention to their children than they are giving now. There never was time when the aver age American woman showed more de- votion to her children than she is show ing now. There never was a time when American mothers. rich and poor. stud jed the needs of children more carefully than they do now that children may be properly fed. sensibly clothed and intel ligently trained. IL is notorious that within the last ten years there has been a steady improvement in the standards of fashionable families as regards child bearing and child training There is abundant room for more improvement, of course, but this does not alter the fact that much progress already has been made. How many young matrons to-day rejoice in their children, How many give up social functions that they may give personal attention to their ba hies. Anybody who cares to look be- yond his own nose in his own neighbor hood knows how monstrous must be the statement that American women care no more about the bringing up of their children than if they were so many cat tie.
