Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tmely 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 inllamed condition
of the mucus surfaces.

Local and NeIghborhood News

Work will be started next spring
on the Iowa and Northwestern rail
way extension. The company, the
members of which were the orr ginal
promoters of the Chicago, Anamosa
x Northern railway, have filed ar
ticles of interpretations at Waterloo,
the capital stock being fixed at
100000. and being limited to
Sl0,O0o,o00. A bonus of $4,000
was required of Waterloo, which was
raised through the sale of lots in !,
new addition to the city. Waterloo
will be the terminal to the road,
which will run from Anamosa.
Cedar Rapids Gazette.
Statistics recently compiled by in
teruiban officials show that in the
townships in the state where inter
urban lines have been operating the
population has increased consider
ably in the past few years, whereas
the population Of the state in gener-
al has decreased. This was shown
by the census of 1905, when the
total figures indicated that the state
had lost about 10000 people since
1900. In tho townships between
Waterloo and Waverly, through
which an interurban line operates,
the population, exclusive of the
towns themselves, in 1900 numbered
5,SI5 and in 1905 the population
was l,SO5. The population of the
townships through which the Iowa
City and Cedar Rapids interurban
operates, exclusive of the towns, in
1900 amounted to ll,5l2 and in
1908 the population was 1886.
The township population between
Des MONIES and Colfax, exclusive of
the towns was in 1900, 1898. In
1905 the population amounted to
9,l7S. The population in the towns
through which the interurbans run
has been increased in almost every
instance from % to so per cent,
or an average of 80 per cent. Thus
it is shown that not alone are the
larger cities which are the terminals
Of the interurban lines directly bene-
fitted by the lines, but the towns
through which it passes and the
contiguous to the right of
way. The figures are interesting
to Des Moines and vicin-
ity. Des Moines is in the center of
the district which is being rapidly
developed by interurbans. The in
terurban lines now operating in this
state have been constructed but a
few years, and all of them are new
lines so that there has been little
for much development
along the lines. During the next
five years the increase will be much
more noticeable, in the opinion of
those who are directly in touch with
The situation. "These figures prove
The popularity of the interurban,"
said an interurban official who had
been compiling these figures to esti-
mate what could be expected in
possible growth now being built |
and prospected. ga more thickly
settled rural district means smaller
farms and more farmers. On the
farms more intensified farm
ing is being conducted, and the
small farm is being made to yield as
much as the larger farm did in the
way of profit. Often the farm is de-
voted to dairying. Fruit and poul-
try are important products. The
of being close to market,
where higher prices are paid for the
best products, is important.-Iowa
