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 constitn-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infame ed
you have rum bling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing win be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an infamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send fol

POTATOES FOR ALCOHOL.
President of Washington State School
Gives Interesting Facts.

Gives Interesting Facts.
ByJ l. Ashlock. Washington State College.
Pullman
The newly organized Commercial
club OF Pullman, Wash, is now per-
fecting arrangements for the installa.
ton of denatured alcohol plant in
that city. President Bryan, of the
Washington State college, who is chair
man of the committee on denatured al
cohol, is conducting the negotiations
for the purchase of large "still," ard
if the plans of the organization are car
ried out, the plant will be in operation
by the time next seasons potato crop is
taken from the field. Discussing the
prospects for denatured alcohol, Presi-
dent Bryan said:
"For the past year the state expert
nent station has had in hand the mat
ter Of gathering information relative to
the practicability OF utilizing this i'm
portant crop in the manufacture OF de-
natured alcohol. Careful analyses have
been made to determine the amount OF
alcohol that potatoes of this region will
yield. We have found that one hun
dred pounds Of potatoes will produce
eighteen pounds Of starch; that eigh-
teen pounds Of starch will produce nine
pounds OF alcohol, which, believe,
sells at from 30 to 65 cents per gallon.
At this rate, the alcohol from one ton
of potatoes would sell for about SIS.
"Alcohol can be made from the small
| potatoes as well as the large ones, and
in this fact lies a source Of considerable
saving to the farmers. Also, waste
fruit can be used, and considerable sue.
cess has been reported from the use o.
corn, and even the stalks. This dena
tured alcohol industry should be taken
seriously by the farmers and business
men Of the Northwest; for 1t means the
utilization in profitable way Of vasf
amount Of produce, such as small pota
toes, of grade wheat, waste fruits, etc.
which are now simply source OF deac
loss"

Ala Tries to Escape.

Denves, March 17.-An attempt
was made about $40 o'clock today
by Giuseppe Ala, the condemned
murderer of Father Leo Heinrichs,
to escape from the county jail, where
he has been under guard day and
night. He made use of a razor blade
with which he slashed the neck of a
"trusty'' who was cleaning his cell,
and then made a rush to get away.
The ''trusty." despite his cut, rushed
after him and pinioned him, and he
was quickly overpowered with the
help of Deputy Warden Carpen.
