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 inAamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, 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 inhamed cond;
ton of the mucous surfaces.

FURNISHES MUSIC WITH LAW

One OF the weekly events of the Post
Office building is the gramophone con-
cert given every Friday afternoon on
the fourth floor by the Judges of the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals.
There is a great deal of litigation in
that court just now over various fea-
lures in various Photographic ma
chimes. To make up their minds re-
garding the working of these different
features, and how much If any infrac-
ton of the rights of another machine is
made, the Judges find IL necessary to
compare the machines in action. From
this springs the Friday afternoon con-
cert it being on that day that the
various phonograph cases are consid-
cred. Every variety of tune is played.
and there is always a large and silent
but appreciative audience of Federal
deputy marshals, lawyers and chance
passers-by in the corridor outside the
judicial chamber.--New York Sun

tIyING IN wAsHINGroN

We are not prepared as yet to say
that proposed increase of Congressional
salaries should be defeated, but we do
derrecate the tendency toward expen-
sive living in the cities as compared
with that of the country. The vanity
of a Congressman who was content at
a $3-a-day hotel in Washington twenty
years ago. requires a $6-a-day hotel
now. Five thousand year would still
maintain some father from a small city
in the south. but it is a hardship not
to have an automobile for mother and
the girls-and the 80 per cent of in
crease in the cost of living so much
prated arout is in the requirement for
automobiles, high priced hotels where
bigger tips are demanded and costlier
frocks for the afternoon teas and even
ing receptions. The Congressman who
used to pay s75 month for board may
now obtain the same hoard for $780,
which Is an increase of about $3.50 a
year but the Congressman with the
sand in their guards to live at board
ing houses instead of apartment
houses" are mostly dead.-Charleston

PROPOSES CHANCE
IN PAVEMENT

President Duffey of the Board of Pub
lie Works said yesterday that he would
make an endeavor TO have the proposed
pavement on Market street from Sec
ond TO East changed from asphalt to a
pavement similar to that laid on Third
and Fourth streets. Duffey says the
latter pavement. which consists of small
basalt blocks. with an asphaltic and
gravel grouting. has proven its dur
ability and will be more desirable than
asphalt on a street upon which the
heaviest kind of teaming traffic will
pass during the next five years.
Duffey proposes to bring the project
up before his colleagues on the board.
but desires to ascertain the views of
property owners and business men on
lower Market street before taking any
definite action.
The City Street Improvement Company
has the contract for the paving Of the
street with asphalt. but is awaiting the
building of the sewer in the street
before beginnig operations. The Board
of Works has secured authority from
the Supervisors to fulfill the contract of
the Burrell Construction Company for
the sewer, which was revoked because
ii had lapsed.
The City Street Improvement Com
pany has expended no money on the
paving contract. and Duffey is of the
opinion that IL will surrender the con-
tract should il be demonstrated that
the best interests of the city demand
that the pavement be changed
Past experiences have shown that
asphalt will not stand the rough usage
10 which IT may be subjected" said
Duffey. 7 believe that the best pave
ment is the one on Third street, as
it is certainly more durable. An as
phalt pavement will soon become full
of ruts and chuckholes. and will re-
quire large expenditures of money to
keep in proper condition. ] think a
big saving will be effected by the
change, but before 1 take any steps to
carry IL into effect I would like to Sc
cure the opinions of interested citizens
as to the advisability of the project"

SANTA ROSA GIVES
OUT RELIEF FUND

SANTA ROSA. Jan. 26.-The City
Council met last night and received
the report Of the Relief Commission.
After review of the items and sew
eral minor changes the report was
adopted. Warrants were ordered drawn
on the relief fund for the various
amounts in favor OF those to whom IL
has been decided 10 give monetary aid.
The amounts aggregate nearly $4,000.
Those who were severely crippled by
the April earthquake or lost their sup
port, as in the case Of widows with
large dependent families. were given
the larger amounts, while the less Sc
riously injured followed. Only in spe-
cial cases was anything allowed to
those who lost only property.
The largest item was $4,000, where a
man and his wife were both seriously
injured and lost their business. The
next was $500. where the head OF a
large family was killed and left the
family without anything. a woman
who lost her leg and was otherwise
seriously injured was given $1,000, and
three women who lost husbands were
given $1,000 each All other items were
in sums less than $1,000 and ran as low
as s25.
