Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by loaal 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 intiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, 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 condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Cataarh
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by cataarh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Cataarh

Something About Automobile Profits

In referring to the sale of the Cadil-
lac Motor Go. for $4,000. 900. made
last week, the Detroit Journal of
last Friday said editoriallv: There
Is no business In the world quite. so
profitable as the manufacture of auto
mobiles. Detroit has had abundant
evidence of that within the past AZ
hours. The Cadillac Motor Car Co.
has just sold out to the General
Motors Co. for 81. 500. 600. That is
ostensibly a profit of about 200 percent
on the present capitalization. As a
matter of fact. 1t is vastly more on the
entire investment. Past dividends.
huge ones, are not figured in that. 1t
enabled the stockholders to clear from
81. 900. 600 to $40. 900 a piece in propor-
ton to their holdings That is bound

Detroit has had other conclusive
evidence within six months of the
astounding profits in automobiles max
ing The EMF Co. has made
investment The Ford Co. has been
Jaying tremendous dividends for a

GLIMPSES FROM A MEXICAN
HACK.

We have just returned from a six
days trip into Old Mexico in Mexi-
can hack, averaging over As miles
per day.
We left Matamoras at 80 a. NJ,
direct south for the old town Of San
Fernando, on the Conchos or Presses
river, following an abandoned rail
road bed for fifteen miles, then near
the government telegraph line until
the town was reached, passing over
the richest land we ever saw, until
within five or six miles of the town.
The houses, if they could be called
houses, are from three to twenty-four
miles apart, generally about nine
miles; country quite level, about half
prairie. We saw fine cattle, equal to
ours, in fair condition to fat, also
large herds of mules and horses, much
better than we expected and yet there
had been no rain for over three
months. The timber was mesquite,
ebony and barata, with chaparral
brush and cactus, and if water could
be had it would be as productive as
any on earth.
The people are miserably poor,
managers getting ten dollars per
month and their meat, with all the
maize, as they call corn, they want.
"Ranch men," or "cow-boys" get
four to five dollars per month and two
pecks Of corn per week. I saw an old
man who got only one dollar and
twenty-five cents per month and his
find. Yet he appeared to be quite
active. [ asked them how they got

FORGETTING.

When lips are dumb with pain too
long unspoken,
And eyes are blind for need Of kind
tears wetting,
When hearts for voiceIess grief's sake
still are broken,
Can this, ah Christ, be called for
getting?
To catch, far off, JOY face on others
smiling,
To watch the clasp of hands when
ours are sundered;
The far off phantom of dream be-
quilting,
The march Of happy feet where ours
have blundered;-
To grasp the hand of Pride when
Hopes has failed us,
To watch far off at sea, loves
signals failing;
To miss the ship that in the darkness
hailed us,
And still face fate, dumb-ipped,
without upbraiding
To sit, soul-silenced, by the dream
that persisted,
The light laugh of the lip the spirit
fretting,
And watch Times changes in the face
we cherished,
And still keep silence; but is this
forgetting?
Nay, silent lips, their anguish never
speaking,
Close, like the tomb, upon the holier
sorrow;
The pain that rails not shrouds the
heavier breaking
Of hearts whose anguish knows no
glad tomorrow.

were always in debt, and invariably
wished the Americans would buy up
the land, and give them work.
From San Fernando we went across
the country due east for twenty miles,
fifteen Of which was over hills. Here
we struck the river again, only about
thirty feet wide and an average of
say three feet deep, running through
banks. at least fifty feet high, no cur
rent at all; full of fish, and the land
very rich soil from six to twenty feet
thick. They say they raise fair crops
(only corn) without irrigation; in
fact, they have to, because there is NO
water to irrigate with. Hence we
reluctantly turned the proposition to
buy down. They priced US the land at
So per acre-gold-o terms.
We saw plenty Of deer-abundance
of turkeys, quail, doves, parrots, and
a few rattle snakes for those that like
them. The Mexicans do not hunt, am
munition is too high, they can't
afford to.
San Fernando stands on a bluff
about 200 feet high. 1t was founded
in 1549. The old houses were very
massive, but are now in ruins. There
are many houses over 200 years old
in good preservation. It is town

We were a show to the inhabitants.

rich and the others practically
paupers.
