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 infamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus.
tachian Tube When this tube is infam
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 ter are caused by Catarrh,
which is noth4lg but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

Backache is only simple thing
at first;
But when you know It's from
the kidneys;
That serious kidney troubles fol-
low;
That diabetes, Bright's disease
may be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the
following experience:
Miguel Allegro, painter, living
on Gale de Ocampo, Laredo, Tex
has tried Doan's Kidney Pills and
earnestly recommends them. as
follows: If continual backache
is any indication of kidney trouble,
I had it. It annoyed me most
when bending over or attempting
to straighten up, and there was
also a weakness of the kidneys
which bothered me especially at
night. 1t was anything but pleas
ant and when Doan's Kidney Pills
were recommended to me 1 went
at once and got box. They re-
lieved me in a lew days and finally
disposed of the attack. The back
ache left me, the kidney secretions
were regulated, and my general
health was alss improved

only with the utmost diplomacy
and by resort to various expedients
after four months of persever-
ing efforts, that a United States
agent succeeded in securing two
large boxes of these grass roots
and bringing them to America.
These were so dried and in such
unpromising condition, that upon
landing in California. it was neces
sary to plant them at once. This
was done near Chico, from whence
the grass will be shipped to Browns
vile in the fall.
Should the grass succeed here,
this will be the beginning of a
most important industry in this
country.
GRAPES AND OTHER FRUITS
Special experiments will also be
made here, Prof. Green says, with
European grapes grated upon the
wild Texas grape. Citrus fruits,
dates, grape fruit, and other fruits
of a semi-tropic nature will also be
tried.
Vegetables of all kinds will be
tried with view to determining
the kind best adapted and most
profitable to be raised here.
Special attention will be paid to
plant diseases and insect pests
with view to the treatment of the
same. c. L. Spooner. an expert
on truck insect pests, who has
been stationed at Corpus Christi,
will come to Brownsville in the
fall and make his headquarters at
the gardens and attend to this de-
partment of the work.
SOIL SURVEY
A Mangum and o. Lee, expert
soil surveyors, who have been at
Brownsville for some time making
study of the soils of this region
for the government, have resolved
orders from the department to
make a survey of the soil at Fort
Brown for Prof. Green, and have
been engaged in that work today.
From the analyses made in this
investigation, will be determined
largely the classes of plants to be
experimental with, and the 1oca-
ton of seed beds, nurseries, etc.
Fred Warren, the civil engineer
from Kingsville, who also accom-
panied Mr.. Green here, is likewise
engaged in taking levels for the
location Of irrigating bitches, pump
ing plant, etc., and will also fur
nish estimates as to the machinery
that will be required for such i'm
provements.
Prof. Green does not expect to
begin active work here until June,
and will spend only a few days
here now attending to these and
other preliminary matters which
must be settled before the work
can be finally inaugurated. The
professor expects to reside at the
post and give his entire time and
attention TO the great work he has
undertaken for Uncle Sam.
