DR.. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence
and lay all .he ingredients of his medi-
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores of the

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 the constitutional rene
dies. Deafness is caused by an inflam-
ed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result.
and unless the inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

| Louisville, June 6.-The National
Liquor Dealers Association, which is
| holding its annual convention here, is
sued an address to the people of the
| United States, in which the belief OF
| its members in temperance is express
ed, obedience to the law is indorsed;
| the work of tae various temperance
| societies commended and the state
ment made that intoXication should be
| considered a crime The address says
| in part:
| From time to time during the past
| seventy five or one hundred years
| waves Of public sentiment antaSonlstic
! to the manufacture and sale of wine
and spirits and other alcoholic bever-
! ages have passed over this country,
leaving in their train state. county and
municipal legislation of a more or less
drastic haracter-legislation entirely
out of sympathy with the spirit OF
American Observation-Disclosures that
was bound to fail of its purpose in
every instance and this because the
sentiment that compelled it was a sem
| timent engendered by agitation and to-
tally unripe for it's enforcement.
Experience has shown that when a
man votes for prohibition it is invari-
ably for the benefit of others and not
for himself, for no man seems to really
believe that society can order his life
more wisely than he can order it, and
for this reason, all prohibitory laws,
be passed by the people of Maine or of
Iowa have in each and every case be-
come dead letters on the statute books,
demoralizing to order, destructive of
revenue and at war with common sense
and good citizenship.
The white ribbon movement, the
blue ribbon movement, the prohibition
movement, and the antisaloon league
movement We're or are protests upon
the part of good men and women
against two of the greatest evils con-
nected with our civilization-drunk
ness and those saloons which are con-

them-and we the delegates to this
convention of the wine and spirit trade,
desire to express our entire sympathy
with the efforts that have been put
forth to eNterminate these evils, and
our willingness to lend cooperation
and assistance.
I'VE believe that wines and spirits
are blessings per Sc, intended by an
All-Wise Providence to bring health
and happiness To mankind.
I'VE believe that the legitimate man.
ufacture and sale of wines and spirits
is an honorable trade and one that
should be respected by society and by

I'VE believe that the saloon and cafe
should be so conducted that men would
not hesitate to visit them accompan-
led by their wives and children and
that the atmosphere of such places
should be beneficial to both mind and

Seemed a Long Time.
TFrom the Tattler.1

Jim was ten years of age and Of an
adventurous spirit. Instead of going
to school, he started out to join a band
of buccaneers, leaving letter of fare
we'll for his mother. He had gone
pretty far afield when he was caught
in the rain. Growing miserable and
hungry, the young adventurer then
gave up his idea of a piratical career
and came home very late at night. He
met with a chilling reception. The
clock licked, his fathers newspaper
cracked, and his sister did not look UP
from her book. Even his mother did
not seem to care whether he had re-
turned or not. The cat, however, not
being in the conspiracy Of silence, came
and rubbed against his leg. Jim stoop-
ed and petted it, and then in a des-
perate attempt to open up the CONVEX
sation he remarked plaintively: lis
this the same old cat you had when
went away"

The neglect on the part of their em-
ploycrs to recognize or provide for the
requirements of cleanliness and decen-
cy of the employees must have an inllu-
ence that cannot be exaggerated in
lowering the morals and discouraging
cleanliness on the part of the workers
employed in the packing houses. The
whole situation as we saw it in these
huge establishments tends necessarily
and inevitably to the moral degradation
Of thousands of workers who are forced
to spend their working hours under
conditions that are entirely unneces-
sary and objectionable, and which are
a constant menace not only to their
own health, but to the health of those
who use the food products prepared by
them.

Meat scraps were also found being
shoveled into receptacles from dirty
floors where they We're left to lie until
again shoveled into barrels or into ma
chimes for chopping. These floors, 1t
must be noted, were in most cases
damp and soggy, in dark, ill-ventilated
rooms, and the employees, in utter ig-
norance of cleanliness or danger to
health, eNpectorated upon them. In 4
word, we saw meat Shoveled from fill
thy wooden floors piled on tables rare
ly washed, pushed from room to room
in rotten box carts, in all of which
processes it was in the way of gather
ing dirt, splinters, floor filth and the
expectoration of tuberculosis and other
diseased workers. Where comment
was made to floor superintendent
about these matters, 1t was always the
reply that this meat would afterward
be cooked and that this sterilization
would prevent any danger from it's use.
Even this, it may be pointed out in
passing, is not wholly true. A very
considerab bic portion of the meat so
handled Is sent out as smoked products
and in the form of sausages, which are
prepared to be eaten without being
cooked.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1906-06-06

Abominable as the above named con-
ditions are, the. one that affects most
directly and seriously the cleanliness
of the food products is the frequent
absence of any lavatory provisions in
the prives. Washing sinks are either
not furnished at all or are small and
dirty. Neither are towels, soap or toll
ct paper provided. Men and women
return directly from these places to
plunge their unwashed hands into the
meats to be converted into such food
products as sausages, dried beef and
other compounds. Some of the privies
are situated a long distance from the
workrooms, and men relieve themselves
on the killing floors or in a corner of
the workrooms. Hence, in some cases
the fumes of the urine swell the sum
of nauseating odors arising from the
dirty, blood soaked, rotting wooden
floors, fruitful culture beds for the dis
ease germs of men and animals.

AS an extreme example Of the entire
disregard on the part Of employees of
any notion of cleanliness in handling
dressed meat, we saw, a hog that had
just been killed, cleaned, washed and
started on its way to the cooling room
fall from the sliding rail to dirty
wooden floor and slide part way into a
filthy mems privy. 1t was picked up
by two employees, placed upon a truck.
carried into the cooling room and hung
with other carcasses, no effort being
made to clean it.

A particularly glazing instance Of
uncleanliness was found in a room
where the best grades of sausage are
being prepared for export. 1t was made
from carefully selected meats and was
being prepared to be eaten uncooked.
In this case the employee carried the
choppedup meat across the room in a
barrow, the handles of which We're
filthy with grease. The meat was then
thrown upon tables and the employe
climbed upon the table, handled the
meat with his unwashed hands, knelt
with his dirty apron and trousers i'll
contact with the meat he was spread
ing out, and, after he had finished his
operation. again took hold of the dirty
handles of the wheelbarrow, went back
for another load and repeated this pro-
cess indefinitely. Inquiry developed
the fact that there was no water in this
room and that the only method the
man adopted for cleaning hands was to
rub them against his dirty apron or on
his still filthier trousers.
