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 constitu-
tlonal remedies. Deafness is caused by ap
inhamed condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you haye rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when 1t is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken opt and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing Will be destroyed forever;
I'VE cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an indamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

Iowa Rich In Automobiles.
That Iowa is growing richer or that
automobiles are becoming more neces-
sary is shown from the books in the
office of the secretary Of state. . Tho
law requiring automobiles to register
with the secretary Of state was en-
acted by the thirtieth General Assem-.
bly, in 1904 and went into effect ia
July of that year. From that time up
to the first Of September 1905, there
were 1850 automobiles registered with
the secretary of state part of which
mad no doubt been in the state for
some time, The first of September
this year there WeFS 2,566 registered
and the 1,005 that have been reg1stsr.
ed during the last twelve months
have no. doubt been all new automo.
lpiles that have come into the state.
This u ohe automqbile to about every
5000 persons in 0the' stale whish
shows that the state is not yet 'oYsr
burdened with the machines. y

Ego Men Discuss Rotten Eggs.

Des Moines.-In the light of the
ruling by Dairy and Food Commits
sioner Wright that rotten eggs are
impure food and those who sell them
are subject to the provisions of the
pure food law, the Iowa Egg Dealers
association had an interesting discus
sion at its meeting held in the Cham
berlain on the 21st.
c. e. Eels of Cedar Rapids, presi-
dent OF the association, is advocating
the loss of method of buying instead
Of the case count method, which has
been generally followed, for the reas-
on that 1t affords opportunity to pay
higher price for good eggs and is
thus an inducement to care in the
handling and sale of eggs. Many OF
the other dealers agree with him.
The loss of method has been fol-
lowed by not few of the extensive
buyers and dealers in the past several
weeks and those who have used it
say that 1t is the most satisfactory
way to deal under the new law. In
the loss off method the purchaser
pays top prices for the best of eggs
and the price he pays is always gov
erned by the quality of the eggs,
whereas in the case count method a
lump sum is paid per case and the
eggs then have to be candled and the
bad one thrown out.
In the opinion of many of the egg
dealers the responsibility for the sale
of rotten eggs lies with the seller
and he Is the one on whom the prose-
cution should fall If the law is violat-
ed. They believe that this will eau
ton the seller to be careful and in
this way the provisions of the law
will be more apt to be followed.
Many Of the prominent egg dealers
Of the state were In attendance at the
meeting, For some time there has
been talk OF uniting the two state asso:

An increase Of $s,7so,6s0 in deposits
between May IL and Sept. is the
showing made by the 61O savings and

It is not usual for the banks to
show an increase of such proportions

is understood that farmers are dispos-
Ing of considerable stock on account
of high prices and this probably is
the reason that deposits have adj

amount. In the state and savings

$179, 400.437

a L:anch friend. Although OF a
quiet, reserved nature, she was
esteemed by all who knew her, and.
IN her death this community has
sustained an irreparable loss. She
fell asleep in Jesus surrounded by
her loved ones, after having talk

structures, instead of rebuilding
them of wood. This is q forward

Owing to the scarcity aud ad-
vanced price of lumber, also the
inferior quality even of the best,
many of the counties are building
steel bridges entirely. While the

save money for the taxpayers. AS
