Deafness Cannot Re Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have
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 normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of tho
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case OF deafness (caused
by catarrh) that cannot be cured by

WHEN LAWS ARE MULTIPLIED
AND MEN DECAY.

The American people make more
laws in a given period than are en-
acted by all the other civilized ma
lions In the same length OF time.
The legislature OF Louisiana, at its
last session. enacted 317 statutes
and joint resolutions, while already
there are thousands of legislative
acts still standing on the states stat
ute books. Our forty-six legislatures,
most of which have biennial sessions,
pass, every two years, some 5000
separate laws In 1906-07, for en-
ample, there were passed by con-
gress and state legislatures 25,446
acts and 1875 resolutions. At a con-
sentative estimate twenty thousand
of these were local laws, affecting
separate cites and towns, and having
no general scope whatever, or were
special bills relating to private in
terests only. In England in the entire
nineteenth century there were enac-
ted some twenty-one thousand spec
ial and local bills In America our
legislatures pass as many OF these
ldws every two years. In 1906 and
1907. while our American legisla-
lures were turning out these twenty
five thousand laws and fifteen hun
dred resolutions, the attention OF the
British parliament was concentrated
upon ia public acts and general
laws
A writer on the subject notes that
sixty years ago England laid the
foundations of scientific plan for
handling local and private bills.
There had been political corruption
in the granting of franchises in
England, as we'll as in our own
country, in the early days of rail-
road development. The INSCRIPTIONS
who sought unjust advantages and
special privileges through legislation
applied to parliament then, much as
they apply to our state legislatures
now The standing orders adopted in
1S47 In England afford a method of
dealing with local and private meas
ures. by which an investigation
closely akin to a judicial trial by a
each of the bills on fullest advance
notice to every public and private in
terest which it's enactment might af-
feet. Under this plan corruption has
lost the secrecy which gives it it's
main opportunity, and the undivided
time of parliament itself is devoted
to more important public matters.
In 1907 substantially the entire law
making work of parliament itself is
embodied in fifty-six general acts,
contained in 293 printed pages. In
| the same year the state of New York
enacted 75f laws, occupying 1900
pages.
! 1t is we'll known fact that many
terests are promoted are seldom II
ever enforced and not few are
mere dead letters. Often laws are
enacted in the heat of some temper

LIMITED HAS A
NARROW ESCAPE

PRESCOTT, February 2l.-News
reached here yesteday of the marvellous
escape of the California limited on the
Santa Fe few days ago about two
miles east of Williams, Ariz. When
the train arrived in Williams the brake
man reported that he believed the train
had passed broken rail- An extra was
sent out to look for it and at milepost
376 Ii was discovered that a whole rail
was missing, having been literally
pounded TO pieces by the passenger
train. 4 lot of small pieces were found
lying nearby, but seven feet of the
rail was entirely missing. How the linn
tied goe by such a break without being
ditched is one of the miracles of "San
ia Fe luck. Some of the pieces of the
rail were 200 feet from the track
