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 inf1amed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inf1amed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tIbe restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of 10
are caused by Catarrh. which is MOTH
ing but an inf1amed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

OF FARM HANDS NOW
One Farmer Declares There MI
Be No Shortage

Talk about a labor shortage said
q well known farmer Of the Walla
Walla, there are more men here now
wanting harvest jobs than there have
been since 1898. The stories OF the
scarcity of harvest hands has attract
ed many of these men. Then, too. the
sawmills on the Sound have been shut
down and those employed there have
come to this country for work. -.
There will be two men to every
iob all summer. The town is full and
men keep coming every day. Wages
will not be high. There are too mary
fellows who must have work and they
will work cheap rather than lay
around. e~-
1.-THE situation reminds me a great
deal of 1898. That year every one pre-
dicted shortage of help in the fields
and some farmers advertised far and
wide for help. They sent to California
and they sent to the east and they
got the men.
, They came in punches. Hundreds
of men lined the streets of the town
all summer looking in vain for the
| work promised.
1.-THE name of the brothers who
had induced the men to come was
| bIacklisted by the laborers. No one
would for them. If they told their
names they couldn't get a man.
sometimes they would get a crew
of men who didn't know them by
sight ard often they would get as far
as the city limits before anyone asked
who they were working for. When
they found out they would quietly
drop their blankets over the end gate
of the wagon and walk back to town.
| Even yet these same farmers are
in bad repute over the matter. Last
Monday they started out with some
men who didn't know them. When
the wagon reached the Northern Pa
cific depot one of the men CHANGED
to ask the name of his employer. He
had never seen the blacklisted man
but he had heard of him and, upon
hearing the name, he and his COM
paniOns climbed out Of the wagon
The farmer is so used to it he never
turned his head.
"OLce a bunch of fellows put up q
job on him. They went out and each
told him his name was Bill Wher
one was ordered to do thing the
4 s11l
was ordered to quit work or go to the
house. The farmer stood it as Ions
as he could and then told Bill to gel
out. -;
mo, don't you newspaper men wor-
ry about the crops not being cared
for. There are plenty of men and hell
will be plenty and cheap"

BROWN HAS A sNAkY IDEA
Fele,ish Tacoma Man Proposes to
Raise A||igators

George NJ. Brown, a capitalist Of Ia
coma, has four young alligators and
announces that he will try to propo-
gate the reptiles in this state, asserts
a coast report. Mr.. Brown is new
conner from Louisiana and believes the
climate is such . in the Sound region
that the saurians will thrive from the
outset.
He has written to several of his
friends in the south to catch number
of alligators and forward them to him,
and the four are the first consignment.
Two of these are two feet long and are
very lively, capable reptiles, imbued
with an activity rivally that of tree
lizard, and apparently well able to take
care of themselves. The other two are
each foot in length.
Mr.. Brown believes alligator farming
can be carried on with profit in the
sloughs and small lakes Of the Sound
region. and he intends to put his faith
in the project to the practical test OF
trial. On account of the scarcity of al
ligators, their hides are bringing fancy
prices. and as the reptiles continue 10
be killed off year by year, the prices
will be still further boosted. Alligator
farming, Mr.. Brown says, is already
profitable livelihood in the south, ana
there are several big saurian farms IN
the state of Arkansas.
Il have not yet decided where l VIII
have my alligator nursery, SAID MI
Brown. "but it will be convenient TO
Tacoma and where the saurlans Will
have protection from curious people
who might be disposed to carry them
off as souvenirs. Little gators you
know. are as harmless as angle
worms"
Suiting the action to the word, MI
Brown picked up one of the two 1oo'
saurians, which grunted and hlsseo'
and slid out Of sight in twinkllng
when released.
"Thev are the easiest things In the
world to take care Of he continued.
d
and even this causes an alligator to lie
around in a stupor for two or three
days. Alligators are the LATEST crea-
lures in creation They are nearest
heaven when lying lazily in the sum-
grunting occasionally and growing rat
There is a fortune in their hides. The
man in the south who can grunt an al
ligator out of his hole is a money max
err
1.-The winters here, from what l can
learn of your climate. are not as severe
as are the cold snaps we have in the
south, and 1 believe l can COLOMBO ana
grow these fellows by the score When
the winter comes, the alligator pores
into the mud and retires until spring
spending the time in a comatose conol-
ton l think they will find it as easy
to live here as in the south.

PEARS AND PRuNEs SCARCE
Fruits Have Suffered From Frost
and Disease

Pears and prunes will bring a good
Fruit Inspector Whitney. ~. ,
Both fruits have suffered consid-
erably from frost and pears have also
been affected by the Goblin moth. In
the east the prune crop is practically
nil
An unusual feature of both crops
this year is found in the fact that the
frost has shown itself in streaks re-
CARELESS of slope and altitude. Trees
which were regarded as safe from
frosts because of favorable slope, will
yield nothing this year as the result
of the peculiar action of the frost.
Also disease which has been affect
ing orchards in this locality for years
has resulted in the determination OF
thousands of trees which otherwise
would now be in full bearing. This
disease in it's affect is similar to that
Of blood poisoning. From no appar-
and will gradually dry up despite all
efforts to save them.
Though no cure of this disease has
been found, there is a treatment which
acts as a specific in checking it. This
consists of saving off the affected limbs
of the tree as soon as it is seen they
are affected, and putting coal tar on
the wound. In saving off the affected
limbs it is necessary to dip the saw
in carbolic acid Immediately after it
has been used on each limb so that the
healthy part of the tree from which the
next limb is to be cut will not be in
fected.
Mr.. Whitney advises that pear
trees be sprayed the same as the apple
trees.
