There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inHamed con.

feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos

inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine

The Rise in Cotton.

If entire credence is not given
to the latest Government report
on the condition of the cotton crop
its conclusions are so we'll support
ed by reports from other sources
that the advance in prices which
followed is justified.
But this report endeavors to
give the condition of the crop on
June rs, and it may be hoped that
the next report will make better
showing. After the report for
May rs there was much unfavor-
able weather extending late into
June. Since then the unfavorable
weather conditions haves disap-
peared and the crop has had fair
chance to make such recovery as
is possible after so bad a start.
But more than an average crop
is not deemed possible by expert
observers, and the season must be
uniformly good from now on if an
average crop is made. The worlds
cotton mills, on the other hand,
want something more than an
average crop from this country,
and the outlook is that they will
have to pay for all they ger.
The price of spot cotton has
advanced more than cents pound
in the last few weeks, and is now
about Is cents. 1t is not a specul-
alive price, and speculation has
had nothing to do with making it.
1t may go higher, but even at Is
cents for middling cotton the
will get a hatful of
money for moderate crop.-St.
