Kermit is at hotel in Duluth

but the story was learned here
from Lieutenant Philip Sheridan

the Presidents son told his trou-

Young Roosevelt joined the
squadron at Fairfield, Ia, and
stood the hardship of the march
for seven days.
All along the march, " said

was iionized and great crowds
would visit the camp to see him.
They would not let him alone even
at mess, and curious persons would
pull back the flap of his tent while
he was eating.
Young girls would come from
Ehe villages near which we camped

had great difficulty in avoiding
them.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way 70 ere deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
DEAFNESS is caused by an inhamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tactian Tube. When this tribe is inham
ed you have rumhling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when 1t 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 infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
