Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By LEGAL applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
trchian Tube. When this tube is in
flame d you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can DE taken
Ou- and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by ca
tarrh) that canno: be cured by Halls

CONVENTION OF FARMERS
FROM Three STATES

Pullman, May 30.-The Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union.
some 600 or 700 strong, will meet In
Pullman June IL and 16, representing
the states of Washington, Oregon and
Idaho. National President Barrett
will be present and it is understood
that before the convention is ad-
iourned, the formation of a state I'm.
ion from the various local and county
unions present will be effected. The
organization of the farmers union In
Washington is at present by local and
county organizations only. Officers
of the new state organization will be
elected at the coming convention.
The Farmers Educational and Co.
operative Union is an organization
which emphasizes educational coop
Grafton in the sale of farm products
and in the purchase of the many ne
cessities to the farming occupations.
Last year, for instance, II cents was
paid for sacks by farmers in the Pull
man territory of Whitman county, as
we'll as elsewhere in Eastern Wash
ington. This year the local union has
succeeded in getting the price of sacks
down to fraction below cents.
Reckoning on basis of 16O, 900 sacks,
the number just bargained for by the
union, this item alone represents a
saving of $6,400 to the farmers inter.
ested.

LUMBERMEN IN POLITICS.
Will Support Candidates on Platform.
Favoring Power to Review In
creased Rates.

Seattle, May 30.-Lumber and shin
gle manufacturers in the Northwest,
through committee, have decided to
take the freight rate question into pol
itics by requesting business connec-
lions and other commercial organiza-
lions all over the United States to
urge delegates to nominate candidates
who stand for plank in the platform
supporting the enactment of legisla-
ton by congress giving the interstate
commerce commission power to re-
view new rates before they become
effective. A confidential letter has
been sent out to more than 1000 cor
respondents calling upon them to urge
other business men to assist In the
plan, which, If carried through the con-
ventions successfully, it is hoped will
be the means of heading off any at
tempt of railroads to advance freight
rates.
Stability in freight rates, the letter
states, is what is needed more than
anything else to safeguard the busi'
ness of the country. Lumbermen In
their letter point out that the advance
in lumber rates from the Northwest
has demoralized the lumber industry
and has been the one cause OF the big
decrease in the earnings Of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
roads.
