MOVEMENT FOR SALOON RE

AS an illustration of the rapid
trend of the country toward prohi-
bition may be cited the new move
ment being made by the saloon men
themselves to perfect a model il
cense law which will more nearly
meet the demands of PUBLIC senti-
ment and protect them as well.
The question of the good and bad
saloon will be the factor uppermost
in this projected reform, and an at
tempt will be made to eradicate the
low grocery and the dive along with
other Objectionable features that are
meeting with strong public disap.
prevail.
The question of what is good ant
what is bad in the liquor traffic
may or may not be matter o.
high and low license, but the fac
that the liquor interests themselvei
are becoming factors in their owl
reform is worthy of note as ten
dency for public betterment.

EXTRA SESSION
NORTH CAROLINA

RALEIGH, N. c., Jan. 21.-Pur-
suant to the call issued by Governor
Glenn two weeks ago the general
assembly of North Carolina met in
extra session today to consider and
take action on the railroad passen-
ger rate law passes at the last SEES
sion. This law fixed a fiat rate oil
two and quarter cents a mile. 4
1t is the view of the governor aud
his counsel, after a Thorough In
vestigation of the conditions, that
it would be more equitable to all
concerned to raise this rate to two
and half cents mile. In return
for this modification of the law the
railroads are expected to make de
sireable concessions in the way o.
interstate rates and interchange

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local Applications, as tneS can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-

by an in6amed condition of the mu-

When this tube is infiamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed
