Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it's entirely
closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucu-
Gus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dol.
lars for any case Of deafness
Caused by catsrrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

LAwsoN,s PRESIDENTIAL CAM
DIDATE.

Governor Johnson, the young Min.
nesota man who last fall surprised ev-
eryone by winning on the democratic
ticket in landslide republican year,
is Tom Lawson's candidate for the
presidency. Not that Mr.. Lawson is
the recognized authority chosen to
pick out presidents, but his standing,
as the apostle of frenzied advertis.
ing, entities his opinion to some
weight.
1t is one of the odd things about
Mr.. Lawson that he himself does not
aspire to occupy the White House
He could no doubt do much there that
he finds impossible now. But there
are many features about the Boston
man that are not to be solved by a
surface inspection and this is only one
of them Students of human nature
may rest assured, however that mod,
esty is not the reason for his failure
TO come out as a candidate.
A short time ago Mr. Lawson spoke
in Minnesota He came from Kansas
where the people and Governor Hoch,
the latter especially, treated him
rather coolly because he opposed
their plan of going into the oil bust.

ment was accorded the frenzied one
by both Folk and Mickey, when he
visited old Missouri and Nebraska.

a Girl AND DESTINY.

A girl who could sway destiny for
several nations, did she desire, is
soon to be introduced into society I'M
der the protecting wing Of the empress
of Germany, ably assisted by the en-
peror himself This girl is the gun
maker of Essen, the richest girl in
Europe. She is Miss Krupp, the
daughter and heir of the inventor of
deadly machinery of war, and In the
hollow of her hand she holds the well
fare Of 100000 people. About that
number reside in Essen and are de-
pendent for living directly or indi-
rectly, upon the gun works owned by
Miss Krupp. Not only these, but whole
nations are dependent upon the girl,
for if she should decide to refuse credit
to the japanese because some Japan
csc gallant offended her, Japan would
find it hard to get guns. If this girl
should find that some Russian danced
poorly and should decide to refuse
credit to Russia the car would see
many recruits added to his peace
party.
But reports say this girl, the richest
in Europe, has good, German common
sense, that she is attractive, cultured
and superior to many of the aristo.
cratic Germans, who now turn up their
noses at her. She is not Of the royalty
but she is the richest girl in Europe,
and in these days, when royalty like
King Oscar can be talked out of a
kingdom, money is power that ranks
close-very close-to the top.
If Miss Krupp must be introduced to
societv of course she must but in that
sphere of life there is much of disap.
pointment and much of the disagree
able, as we'll as much that is pleasant
and enjoyable. Let's hope that though
this richest girl in Europe may be be
set with trials she will not let them
blind that business eye which thus far
has watched over the welfare of 100,
900 souls in Essen.

noticeable that Lawson took u" with

tracts, which he larded with words of
approval, and declared that the man
who made that speech commanded
