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 inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inAamed you have rumbling sound or inn
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the in
Aammation 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 inhamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.

The ice season is on in full swing
and thousands of tons are carried out
of the river weekly for the large ci-
ties. 1t is hardly expected that all
the ice cut on the Kennebec this sea-
son will be shipped, unless the wea-
Their continues hot for the next two
months. 1t is said that a piece of
Kennebec river ice and piece of
artificial ice the same size, placed in
the sun will quickly demonstrate the
superiority of the natural product.
When nothing is left of the artificial
ice but wet spot a good sized piece
of Kennebec ice remains. The recent
increased demand for Maine ice al
though not equalling the demand of
ten or twelve years ago, yet runs into
the hundreds of thousands of tons.
1t is reported that the Ame rican Ice
Company is planning to repair all its
houses on the Kennebec and to build
more houses in locations where con-
ditions are favorable.

Measure Your Perch

1t is now open time on perch, the
law having gone of July LIST. The
new law passed at the last session of
the Legislature is now in effect, which
provides that perch shall not be re-
tanned in the possession of a fisher
man under six inches in length. The
local game wardens are keeping a
sharp lookout for fish of illegal length.
1t is an adage of law that ignorance of
the law excuses no one, and the fine
is $40 for each fish under the required
length which is found in the posses
sion of fisherman. A large number
of persons are taking advantage of
the opportunity for perch fishing,
however, and there is no doubling
that good sport may be enjoyed des-
pite the fact that occasionally one is
forced to return the small fish to the
water. As one local fisherman ex-
pressed it, "Who wants short fish,
anyway"
