DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way 10 cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when IL is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken to its normal con-
dition, hearing viii be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition OF the mucous sur

Boss of the Turkish Harem.

Curiously enough, says P. 7. O.,
it is not the sultan who is the most
powerful and most autocratic in his
own harem, but the sultan's mother,
known by the name of "Valide. "
It is the sultan's mother who not
only regulates every incident of the
harem, but possesses the right of
life and death over the women in
it, and there are almost no known
instances in which a sultan has
dared to save favorite from q
punishment ordered by 'the Crown
of Yelled Heads" as the Valide
is called in the harem.

According to the program mapped
out by the committee of arrange

was an hour later before the chair
man, Colonel Harvey Z. Jones, called
it to order, yet none found the time
tedious, instead it seemed to be a
blessing in disguise. There was a
band there of course, and just as much
as a matter of course the band play
