There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining
Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will
he destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition Of

Money In Pumpkin Seeds.

The farmers Of Iowa have discovered
a new industry--the growing Of pump
kins for the seed-says the New York
World. Those who first tried the ex-
pertinent found at once the industry q
profitable one. The pumpkin Is plant
ed with the corn and requires no in
crease of acreage for its production
while it yields in seed from S. to So
per acre. The average price paid is
cents per pound, and the market has
reached at times as high as 8 cents.
The work Of handling the seed Is car.
ried on by the children Of the farm.

Three Institutions in Melon

ARE ALL OWNED BY ONE MAN.

Peoria, ILL.,, Dec. l.-Three banking
institutions in McDonOugh county,
conducted by c. v. Chandler OF Ma
comb, closed their doors yesterday.
Notices to the effect that the banks
were short of ready cash were posted
on the doors of all the banks yester-
day This decision was reached
yesterday upon an examination OF inc
books by Mr.. Chandler himself The
banks are:
The Bank Of Macomb, conducted by
C. v. Chandler & Co., with deposits OF
s45o, 900, and capitalized at $4,000.
The Chandler & lines bank at Col
chester, capitalized at $4,000, having
deposit of 100000.
The Chandler & Smith bank of Bar
doors of all three banks yesterday,
900 in deposits.
The money of the depositors in all
three banks has been invested thru
Mr. Chandler, the senior member OF
the private banking firms, in McDon-
ough county real estate and the imme-
date cause Of the suspension OF the
three institutions is given as a lack
of ready cash. The Macomb bank stood
good for the payment o. the bonds OF
the Macomb s. Western Illinois Elec-
trio railway and when the bondhold-
ers made demand for their money
they absorbed all the ready cash u the
three institutions.
The following notice appeared on the
dolph capitalized at $4,000, with $780,
signed by c. V. Chandler and the 9TH
err members of the firms in the re-
spective towns:
"/his bank is closed pending inves-
! LEGATIONS subject to the conversion of
the property into ready cash. The
bank is solvent and all depositors will
be paid in full There is ample prop
erty to meet all obligations and all that
is necessary is a reasonable amount OF
time to convert the holdings into
money"
C. v. Chandler has been in the
banking business in Macomb for a

Mr.. Chandler made statement today
setting forth in effect what was stated
| in the notices posted ON the doors OF
| the banks. The liabilities are upwards
of 100000, with unincumbered real
estate worth over 100000.
The mortgages are mostly on central
Illinois farms and considered gilt edg-
ed. There was little show of excite
ment over the closing of the banks
The depositors had faith in the word
of Mr.. Chandler, and expect the fulfill-
ment of his promise. In Colchester he

TO BOOM FAIRGROUNDS.
National Convention to BE Held at
Chicago Next June.

National Convention to Be Held At
Chicago Next June.
Chicago. the greatest public play
ground city in the world, will enter
tain guests prominent in the movement
from cities on two continents at the
first annual convention of the National
Fairgrounds association next June,
says the Chicago Post.
Although the movement Is compare
lively new one, Its significance may
be judged from the fact that President
Roosevelt is the honorary president Of
the organization.
Among the visitors will be Jacob Riis
Of New York. Joseph Lee of Boston.
DR.. Gulick Of New York and "up-
lifters" from England and Germany.
1t is possible President Roosevelt will
attend the convention. On the Chicago
committee are Miss Jane Adams, Mrs.
Emmons Blaine, Miss Mary e. Nc
Dowell and Frederick Greeley.
I'VE intend to inaugurate q move
ment." said Mr.. Greeley recently. ITO
stimulate interest In Fairgrounds IN
every city in America. Fairgrounds
do not cost much. and they do much
good. Much Of the crime ,perpetrated
today Is the work Of gangs OF young
hoodlums. AS children they have no
place, except the streets. In which to
play. Their energies are misdirected.
They break windows, rob freight cars
and commit petty thieverIes. They are
not vicious by nature and would haye
turned out differently had they had the
advantages offered by Fairgrounds.
I'm these little amusement parks
they are brought into contact with
good influences. They find friend In
the athletic instructor. They become
interested in the organization of ath-
letic teams.
"Hundreds of children would be at
loss for something to do in the long
vacation If it were not for these play
grounds. Opportunities ere offered for
the girls to learn basket weaving and
sewing and for the boys to show their
skill in handiwork. The Fairgrounds
provide healthy exercise and recrea-
ton for thousands.
ut is our boast that Chicago leads in
the number of Fairgrounds. The south
park commission has been active in Sc
curing dozen or more on the south
side. The west park board already
has begun to cooperate with our as
ISOLATION, and the north side Is waking
up to the Importance Of the work.
There Is plenty to be done yet In Chi
cago, and the north and west sides
will be our objective points Of attack. y

A Hole In the Air.

One Of the strange experiences Of
balloonist is that Of falling into "a
hole In the air." which Mr.. Rolker re-
ports as follows, says the American
Magazine:
$50 you continue sailing, enjoying
the present with little thought Of the
startling surprises that may be be-
fore you. Ahead Of you, unseen, may
be what the balloonist calls hole In
the air., resembling the vortex of q
maelstrom, and down this you may lit
orally fall Mt rate which Is terrify-
ing until, by sacrificing two or three
bagfuls Of sand at once, your pilot
checks your downward fight. But
these holes are scarce, and, az q rule,
the atmosphere Is of uniform carrying
power"
