Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness is caused by an infamed con,

tachian Tube. When this tube is iuAan.
ed you have runbling sound or i1nper-
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
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infa1ned condi-

NATIONAL CONFERENCE Of
CHARITIES and CORRECTIONS

The National Conference OF Charl-
ties and Corrections, which is the.
greatest single force in the world to-
day making for the amelioration of
the condition of the unfortunate and
delinquent citizens of the United
States, will meet in Minneapolis,
Mimi, for one week, from June IL to

The purpose and scope OF the Con
ference is so tersely summarized in one
of the publications recently issued

neapolis session. that the quoting
of a portion of that document will
best serve the purpose Of bringing
before our readers the character Of
this great annual meeting of the
leading individuals and organizations
engaged in penal and charitable work
in the United States.
aThe Conference Of Charities and
Corrections brings together on j an:
equal footing, public officials Of ma.
ton, state and city, agents and OFF,
Gers of private societies and institu-:
tions and men and women interested
in charity and reform who. have no
official position. but as good citizens
earnest for social welfare.
Its success in popularizing new
principles and improved methods of
treatment as regards the dependent,
defective and delinquent classes has
been marked. The great reforms in
public and private affairs of the kind,
which have been made during the
last third of the century, have felt
the influence of the conference and.
many Of them have had their initia-
tive at its sessions. The members,
coming from almost every section of
the country, carry the influence of
the conference to their homes, SO
making its scope as wide as the ma.
ton
The conference began 81 years ago
in meeting of a few public and
state workers in matters Of charity
and correction. Since then it: has
grown, as the subjects of which IT
treats have grown, until now 1t in
cludes about 1000 members, who
meet together every year in some
great city for the purpose Of hearing
