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 infia1ned cons
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is infiam
ed you have ru1Hbling 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 inhaned condi-
ton 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

SCIENTISTS WIN
Can Practice Healings in Missouri
Without Violating Law

Warrensburg, Mo-, Dec. 19-There
is no law in Missouri prohibiting the
practice of healing by members of the
Christian Science church, according to
the decision handed down here today
by Judge Berry Thurmond In the cir
cult court. The case was brought to
test the law and Mrs. Iona A. Jaccard
and Theresa M. Highwood, Christian
Science practitioners of Kansas City
we're defendants. The information had
been filed against the defendants by
the prosecuting attorney of this coun-
ty. They were charged with violating
the laws that make it an offense to
practice, in that they treated wom-
an and received $54 in pay. In the
arguments which lasted for fifteen
hours, the Scientists attorneys attack
ed the constitutionality of the law.
Judge Thurmond handed down his de-
cision this morning. In 1t he held that
the Missouri statutes for the regula-
ton of the practice of medicine did
not apply to healing as performed by
the Christian Scientists, and that the
laws OF the state do not either pro-
hibit or regulate in any way their
practice of healing.

high and as much In depth. This ORR
fee was filled with water as clear as
crystal, coming to within four feet of
the top Of the hole.
Enter on Teur Of Exploration
with Mr.. Corey i decided to enter
the second cavern. A raft was con-
structed from some two inch planks
which had been left near the entrance
to the first tunnel by some former Wis
itors and on this raft we two, with
camera, gun and the lamp, crouched
and were pushed through the opening
in the rocky wall, leaving the remain
der Of the party with fire of sticks
at the edge Of the pool Of water.
This second cavern was about the
same size as the first one and to our
surprise, we found the water, which
was about six feet; deep, had con
siderable current leading away from
the opening through; which we had en-
tered the cavern. We concluded to
follaw the left wall and after drift
ing with the current ,.about 500 feet
discovered the cavern had come to an
end, the same as the other had done.
In the end at the floor was another
orif1ca about 81 xfeet square into
which the water poured.
See q Strange Animal
"Mr. Corey set up his camera to
make third flash-light picture, after
which we intended to return to the
outer cavern. He had scarcely fired
the flash, when there was tremen-
dous splashing In the water ahead
followed by roaring howl, something
like that Of an enraged bull. In that
confined space It was deafening. From
the water there arose an animal which
by the light of the lamp in our hands,
seemed to be of immense size. It was
larger than a bull and had long
neck and the head Of horse without
ears. 1t charged toward us. The jaws
were armed with long teeth.
II fred one barrel of my gun into
the creatures face and as 1t hesitat-
ed, gave it the contents of the other
barrel. The animal continued its bel
lowing, but thrashed around and head
ed for the opening In 5the wall. It had
sort of fiipper ON each side like
tnose OF q seal or the wings of bat.
Women Are In Terror
While we were having our exper-
ience with the strange animal, our
wives had heard the shots and roars
OF the injured animal. One of them
was preventea With dmculty from
pl sa,nas1 into the wa asf,while theoth-
"The animal could be heard howl
Ing and believing as we .left the
cavern.
Whether the animal seen by us was
one OF the prehistoric monsters, some
OF which 1t is asserted were seen in
the far north last summer, is a puzzle
to us. Also where the two streams in
the caverns. having opposite currents,
arise. is another puzzle. 1t was an
extraordinary experience"

Woman Tourist Claims Jewels
Found in Thanksgiving
Dinner Goose

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Mrs. F. L. Mercer,
1919 Wrightwood avenue, who lost a
valuable collection of stones while on
an automobile tour in Wisconsin two
years ago, is conducting her own in
vestigation and with the persistency
of a true detective overlooks not a
single clue that may lead to the re-
covery of her departed gems. That is
why she has written a letter of in
quiry to Durward Cornelius, S52 High
land avenue, Beloit, Wis, whose
Thanksgiving day goose, killed, was
discovered to have been carrying
around in it's gizzard two small dia-
monds and bit of gold.
Several agencies are at work on this
strange clue to the mystery of the
departed Mercer diamond. Mr.. Cor
nelius took his notebook and started
on quest to trace the life history
of the golden goose" He found that
circumstantial evidence points &C
cusingly at the now dead bird as hav-
ing been at large in the neighborhood
at the time of the loss. He is still
threading clues.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The appoint

He declared that he also would make
the extra hazardous risk Of the posi-

bill. He said that while the salary of
today's business manager is measur-

as well as by his fitness, the presi-

tive adequate proportion to the mental
and physical work and worry of the

Wisconsin Institution Operating or

Madison, Wis, Dec. 19.-The Uni

All of the university's income has
been used and already the institution
has asked the secretary of state and
the state treasurer for $4,000 out of

right back. My mother could think of
nothing but her diamonds. Among
them was one beautiful sunburst set
with seventeen stones. We carefully
retraced our former route, inQuiring
all along the way. Nobody seemed
to have heard of the lost suitcase.
When we got home we engaged de-
tective to go up through McHenry
county. His search yielded nothing.
Since then my mother has taken the
thing in her own hands and made ev-
cry effort to follow out every shadow
of clue. That's the way she came
to write to the man who found the
diamonds in the craw of his Thanks
giving goose"
Cornelius Family Amazed.
1t was the dissection of the goose's
gizzard by Mrs. Cornelius when pre-
pairing the fowl for. dinner that led
to the discovery of the diamonds and
the bit Of gold. The family were
amazed. They thought they had dis
covered the celebrated goose that laid
the golden eggs"
The investigations of Mr. Cornelius
In the role of Sherlock Holmes have
revealed the following facts OF the
history of the goose: The butcher
who sold the fowl to Mr.. Cornelius
bought it with many others from a
wholesale dealer at Rockford. Ill. The
Rockford firm deals largely with farm
ers living in McHenry county. While
certain Identification of the bird has
not yet been made, it is thought to
have come from a man who lives near
road often frequented by automo-
bilists.
Duck Swallows Ring.
But although the final chapter of
the mystery has yet to be written,
while Mrs. Mercer is waiting impati-
emily for the unraveling of the next
knot, another story of goose which
had fondness for diamonds, has come
to light, proving conclusively the avid
ity of the species for the precious fare.
A Beloit butcher. who wore fine dia-
mond ring was killing poultry in a
yard where there were lot of ducks,
according to dispatch, when the ring
slipped from his finger. He was just
reaching to pick it up when a duck
made for 1t and got the ring and swal-
lowed 1t. The butcher kept his eye on
the bird and soon wrung it's neck and
regained his ring.
1t is said that examination of crops
and gizzards Of fowls is a regular
occupation in Beloit households since
the Cornelius incident.
