my opinion is that our profession

the two branches pretty much as they
are combined in the United States and

the solicitors would profit by such an
agreement They would have the right

into an office, where he makes his

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inf1amed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken ont
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dtion of the mucous surfaces.

THE PRESIDENTS ADVISERS.
Personal characteristics of the Men
on Whom He Relies.


Wilson and Hitchcock are the chums
of the cabinet. They often go away
from the cabinet meetings together.
Hitchcock is the most ristocratic-ap-
pearing of the secretaries. with a hand
some face, though a strong one which
is we'll set off by his white hair and
mustache. Wilson never smokes and
often carries his hands in his coat peck
cts. Hitchcock generally lights cigar
as they start out, and they talk quietly
and seemingly without animation though
evidently interesting each the other i'm
mensely.
Moody is 4 little shorter than the
President, stocky, looks the athlete, has
a well-knit form, rudy face, and
walks well. He rides With joy and sits
on his horse as if he grew in the sad
die. He is the only bachelor in the
cabinet.
Root, slender, intense, with keen, in
tellectual face and eyes that sometimes
smolder, sometimes flame, was not popu
lar when he began as Secretary of War
but as Secretary of State he now knows
better how to get along with the CORE
spondents and every one else.
Cortelyou, black-eyed, handsome, neat,
reserved, but never discourteous, will
always seem the accomplished chief
clerk to some of the oldtimers of Wash
ington. He has only one dissipation
music.
Bonaparte always dresses in black.
His big head rolls from side to side
when he walks, and the Bonaparte smile
who hasn't read of tits always i'll
evidence. His walk is long and swing
ing and he seems to be nervous when
he sits. He doesn't look like a French
man-in fact the blood he has inherit
ed from the Bonapartes isn't French at
all, but Corsican. He doesn't often talk
of his royal ancestor, and is said to be
glad he doesn't resemble him.
Metcalf is so quiet that he is known
as the modest Secretary. He is a good
looking chap with CRAVING hair and
mustache.

Is Disease a Crime I?

Not very long ago, popular magazine
published an editorial article i'm which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain 1t is, that much OF the sickness
and suffering OF mankind is due to the
violation OF certain of Natures laws
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
1t would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
neSseS. various displacementS of pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing OF children. with its ex-
acting demands upon the system. coupled
with the care. worry and labor of rearing a
large family. is often the cause of weak
nesses arrangements and debility which are
aggravated by the many household cares.
ana the hard. and never-ending work which
the mother Is called upon to perfornA DR..
Pierce. the maker OF that world-famed rem
edy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and
i!ls-Dr Pierces Favorite Prescription-says
that one OF the greatest obstacles to the cure
OF this class OF maladies is the fact that the
Door over worked housewife can not get the
needed rest from her many household cares
and labor TO enable her to secure from the
use OF his Prescription its full benefits. 1t
Is q matter OF frequent experience. he says,
In his extensive practice in these cases. to
meet with those in which his treatment fails
by reason OF the patients inability to abstain
from hard work long enough to be cured.
With those suffering from prolapsus. ante
version and retroversion Of the uterus or
pther displacement OF the womanly organs,
1t is very necessary that. in addition to TAX
Ing his uFavorite Prescription they abstain
from being very much. or for long periods, on
their feet. All heavy lifting or straining of
any kind should also be avoided. AS much
outdoor air as possible. with moderate, light
exercise is also very important Lst the
patient observe these rules and the Flavor
lite Prescription will do the rest.
