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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustaehian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rambling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when IL is entirely closed. Deafness
lie this result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out OF ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition OF the mucous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
CASE of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

The tomato canneries are gradually
closing the season, the crop being much
shorter than it was predicted, and the
prices offered are much lower than what
the goods can be profitably marketed
for. A largest part of the pack will
be held for better market, as was
done last year when. finally, after hold
ing the goods eight and ten months
lower prices were accepted. Last year
and this year are moneyless years for
tomato packers. There is not much
complaint from the farmers, the yield
was good and the price was right, al
though the price did drop to 8 cents a
bushel before the crop was completely
gathered.
Oyster shocking houses are preparing

he cannot but notice the change in a
large number from the sail and paddle
to the gasoline engine. The gasoline
propelled canoe carries its workers to
the rocks in about Is minutes, who are
fresh for work and has nearly bushel
of oysters gathered when up comes his
neighbor all tired, sculling and rowing.
The little engine is great help and
money maker to its owner.

The Hookless Waist.

This is an inventive age. Mechanical
miracles are happening Labor-saving de-
vices are being created. and If mans in
genuity holds out at the present rate the
time is not long to be postponed when
a day laborer will be able to sit in a
rocking chair while his work performs
itself.
The press now heralds another labor
saving device, one that spares the tenn
per, renders many short and ugly words
unnecessary and obviates untold contor-
tons of the face and body. This in
vention is called "the hookless waist"
1t was revealed at the recent convention
of the Dressmakers Protective Associa-
ton.
There is one obvious drawback to this
invention. 1t takes away another one
of the husbands prerogatives Many
ladies who already consider the husband
an unnecessary trifle will now be con-
firmed in their opinion. One of the strong
ties that have bound husband to his
home was the waist that hooked or but
toned UP the back. With a hookless
waist the husbands occupation's gone.

Mr.. Foraker's term in the Senate ends
next March. Yesterday he was reported
as having determined to continue his
campaign for reelection. in spite Of the
incident wrought by Mr.. William r
Hearst, and he has told his friends thai
he will begin that campaign at a proper
and convenient time by making speech r
answer to the charge of venality anG
servility made or implied In the chrome
logical arrangement of the Standard Oh
letters presented by Mr. Hearst. We are
not only sure that he will get an attentive
hearing from the American people: we are
also sure that by every reasonable an6
just formation of public opinion he is en-.
titled to suspension of judgment until
the very last words of his defense have
been uttered.

Crane,

There need be no worry about the ques-
ton Of Senator Cranes title at republican
headquarters. The whole case is summed
up in the fact that the senator visits
there and is interested in the campaign.
He would have served well as chairman
of the national committee, but his health
prevented the assumption of so much re-
sponsibility. He is strong enough, how
ever. to advise. and that he now is doing.
New to national life. he is much ad-
mired at home for his political general
ship. He has the gift of silence-a great
gift for campaign manager-and knows
how to yoke unru2y folk together and
get good service out of their united eff
forts. Mr.. Crane in action is a distinct
gain for the Taft cause: and now that
the senator is in action he will probably
continue so until election day.
