Deafness Can Not Be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
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 in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is in1amed you have a rumbiing
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the re-
suit, and 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 infiamed 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
Catarrn Cure. Send for circulars. free.

League" in the interest of substituting
American vessels in order that they
may compete with foreign vessels in
international trade. The appeals and
claims that patriotism as well as profit
to American business demand that
congress shall vote away the peoples

to students of economic principles

can flag has been driven from the

which once iloated from the masthead
of American ships in every port i'll the
which has so advanced the cost of ma

in the United States land the Ameri-
can flag can float over no other kind,
that capital will not invest in Ameri
can ships for foreign trade. Instead
of doing this, American capital invests
i'll foreign ships. not only for foreign
trade, but for trade with this country.
Remove the tarin from material used,
in building ships. or permit the Amer
lean flag to registered American ships
built where they can be built the
cheapest, and American commerce will
be carried on under the American

SHATTERED ROMANCE.

BELIEVE me. gentle Annie.

But. finding on the needful
That 1 am more than shy,

Admire you, dear, and sigh.

When romance was in style
A man and maid were welded
Though fortune did not smile.
They lived on love in summer.
When autumn turned the page
They gathered in some acorns
And let the winter rage.
But now we have to figure
On rent and light and heat.
On confabs with the grocer
About the things to eat.
The iceman leaves US warning
Before he drops a cake
That promptly every morning
Full payment we must make.
And so. my dearest Annie.

To name the happy day.
