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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con
dition of the mucuous lining of the
eustacian tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound of
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
nrely closed, deafness is the result,
ana unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
IT'S normal condition, hearing will 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 dollar
sior any case Of deafness caused by
catarrh, that cannot be cured by

Wealthy Men Have Organized to Do So Is Claim
Made by Roosevelt in Message-Super-
vision Of Railroads Is Urged

WASHINGTON. February 1.--Or-
ganized effort of certain wealthy men
to discredit the administration in its
crusade against the unlawful methods
of the trusts is charged by Roosevelt.
in a message to congress today He
says the efforts of these men are t.

cause reaction in the sentiment and
prevent the legislation needed to ear
ry out the reforms sought. In re
ply to the cry that his policies hurt
business, the president says:
"a business hurt by a movement
for honesty is the kind of business
it pays the country to have hurt -
He says the common laws are not
enough for the correction of the cor
poration abuses, so the national and
state governments must work togeth
or.
A suggestion beyond anything the
president formerly made it that the
federal government assume control
over the physical operation of the rail
roads 20 the extent of fixing sched
ules for perishable commodities. An
amendment TO the Sherman law on a
comprehensive plan to inelnde the
operations of other concerns than rail
roads, doing interstate business, Is
recommended
The president follows this with a
charge that certain wealthy heads Of
corporations "whose conduct should
be abhorent 70 every man Of ordinary
decent conscience, have during the
past few months banded themselves
to work for reaction aud 70 overthrow
and discredit those who honestly al
minister the law and also 10 prevent
additional legislation. ''The only
way to counteract the movement ~
which these men are engaged, he
says, "is to make clear to the public
just what they have done in the past
and what they are seeking to accom-
plish in the future
In the same message the president
urges the necessity of the government

fell back on the cushions dying, and
at the same momelt the Crown Prince
was seen to nalf rise, and then sink
back upon theseat. Queen Amelie

fort to save his life at the cost of
her own, but the Crown Prince had
already received his death wound.
