DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
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
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf
ness 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 the are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by

The Coming of Ak.sar.B Ben.


This is The Bees annual special edi.
ton heralding the coming of King Ak
Sar-Ben.
Aside from the street car troubles,
which now happily cen to be on the
point of adjustment, no advent of King
Ak-Sar-Ben, In all the fifteen years OF
his reign, has had more promising con-
ditions.
A good harvest with Femunerative
prices has spread prosperity over the
entire land from which King Ak-Sar-
Ben draws his pilgrims.
The material growth and expansion
Of Omaha during the last year has
made the city more attractive than
ever, and better equipped to furnish
wholesome entertainment and amuse-
ment for visiting guests.
The preparations which King Ak
SRr-Ben has made for his parades, fes-
rivals and gala balls are calculated ia
hold up still higher the enyiable repu.
tation he has achieved In this respect,
King Ak-Sar-Ben XIV Is on his way!
May his court be more dazzling and
more splendidly patroniZed than that
of any of his predecessors.

ported he is to receive $4,000. When
Mr.. Pesry gets In touch with the lee
ture bureaus he will doubtless be sim
ilarly engaged, and routed, as q stellar
performer. In the meanwhile both
are said to have contracted with pub
fishers to get out their books on fat
royalties.
Nobody who appreciates the priva-
tions and exposure which these men
have undergone would wish to deny
them the opportunity for ample recon-
pense. and yet they may spoil all the
glory the world is disposed to grant
them by driving the bargain too hard.
Everyone connected with these polar
expeditions has repeatedly explained
that they we're not money-making en-
terprises. II the pole is to be cashed
in at topnotch rates It will be too bad
that It happened to be discovered in
duplicate, and that we will have to pay

IT know there Is an slement among
employers OF labor and investors Of cap
ital which Is utterly opposed to the organ
ization OF labor. l cannot sympathiHe with
this element in the slightest degree. I
think IL IL a wise course for laborera to
unite TO defend their interests. II il a
wise course for them to provide a fund
by which should occasion arise and
strikes or lookouts follow those who lose
their places may be supported pending
a adjustment of the difficulties.
II think the employer who declines TO
deal with organized labor and TO recog-
ni1e II az a proper element in the settle
ment of wage controversies Is behind the
times.
There IL not the slightest doubt that
II labor had remained u~norgariEsd wages
would be much lower. It Is true that in
the end they would probably be fixed by
the law OF supply and denrnd. but gen
orally before this law mRnifests itself
there Is a period IN which labor, II or
ganized and acting togetner. can compel
the employer promptly to recognize the
change OF conditions and advance wages

facing a less prosperous future to

Publicity for Hospitals,

At the annual meeting of the Amer
lean Hospital association held in
Washington last week the committee
report presented by the superintendent
Of the Buffalo General hospital, In
calling attention to the tremendous
growth and improvement Of hospital
service in the last fifteen years, incl
IDENTIFY urges full publicity Of hospital
AFFAIRS and insists that It is entirely
ethical for hospitals to present their
advantages before the public in an at
tractive manner, and in such a way as
to encourage the confidence Of the pub
lie and the knowledge among patients
that their interests are being carefully
guarded. In other words, the most
enlightened hospital arrangements are
coming, II they have not already come.
to realize that the true policy is not to
keep It dark, but to let in the light Of
day and inform, one and all, what
Dement'S the hospital has to OFFER.
Full publicity, Of course, can come
only by the use of various means Of
securing public attention, and more
particularly by the use Of the newspa
pers. 1t is plainly the sense of the
American Hospital association that
there is nothing unethical in a hos
pital advertising for patients because
1t is only through patients that the
hospital can do it's real work Of allie
Waiting the Ills Of mankind. While
hospitals are. and must continue to be.
in ONE degree dependent upon the
philanthropic OF pu~blic-spirited people,
because those who need hospital help
are often Just the very ones least able
TO pay. yet it is recognized that for
effectiveness the modern hospital re-
quires business management as much
as any business institution.
The recommendation Of publicity
for hospitals raises the question
whether this will not be an entering
wedge to break down the wall which
has been inherited from the dark ages
closing in the practice of medicine
with a professional code that prohibits
resort to advertising for publicity. The
practical operation Of this rule has
been to bar only such advertising as a
physician or surgeon would be re-
CURED to pay for, and 20 permit him
to avail himself Of all the free adver-
Using he can get. II It Is ethical and
legitimate for q hospital to lay its ad-

Mr.. Roossvslt,n Narratixn.

The first installment Of Mr.. Roose-
velt's narrative Of his African hunting
trip constitutes a thoroughly charac-
teristic contribution to the current
scribners, which has engaged with him
to publish the story.
Mr.. Roosevelt wastes little time on
preliminaries and jumps the reader
quickly into the heart Of Africa, with
accompanying comment on the value of
the work which the British and the
Germans have been doing there as CIV
~ilizers, and a word Of contrast en-
.phasiEing the great advances made by
the negro In America over the de-
s%cendents Of his slave-hunted ancestors
in Africa.
In the very middle of the article is
a truly RoossVeltian ~preachment on
the value Of game reserves and the
benefits accruing from the intelligent
framing Of game laws, which, as he
would evidently have Il. should be an
integral part Of every plan for conser-
walton of natural resources When he
gets into the wild animal field Mr..
Roosevelt gives us q foretaste of a new
work on natural history. with concise
descriptions Of appearance. habits. his
tory. and in some instances q cata-
,logue Of the pRrasitical insects which
the wild beasts support
The story from the beginning shows
that Mr.. Roosevelt has set out upon a
~oongeniAl mission and has been having
huge sport ever since. Everyone knew
in advance that whatever adventures
might befall him he would get the
most OF enjoyment and satisfaction
out Of them, and Mr. Roosevelt's mar
rative is convincing assurance of the
fulhllment OF these expectations.

government By III. Peopls.

In the campaign last year the de-
feated candidate tried to rally his
forces with the slogan, Let the people
rule" carrying the implied inference
that under the then existing admins
t~ration, and under the administration
of his successful competitor, popular
government was impossible. In his
speech at Provo Mr.. Taft has given a
singularly apt expression to the pre-
vaillng thought, which received so de-
cisive endorsement in his election, that
ours has been since the days of Lin
coin, and is now, a government of the
people, for the people and by the peo-
pie. I'VE have the best government
on earth" said Mr.. Taft, echoing his
introduction, land representing that
government l have attempted to take a
journey Of some 1900 or $4,000 miles
for the purpose Of convincing the peo-
pie. II I can, that every man, woman
or child born or naturalized in this
country, has a voice and a right to be
heard at Washington, and that his in
terests are the subject Of careful con-
sideration by those who represent the
government at that place"
Despite the lamentations Of the dis
contented, and despite the demagogy of
the discredited, the fact remains that
we have a government which In all
the substantials gives the people what
they want. The most valuable feature
OF u W form of government is that
which enables the majority of the peo-
pie to have their way by registering
their votes for public servants Of their
choice, and approving or rejecting the
principles and policies upon which they
may take issue.
Nothing exemplifies so strikingly the
popular character Of our government
than this very tour of the president in
contrast with the tours of European
monarchs. Our president openly and
avowedly goes forth to meet the peo-
pie whose government he represents,
and to get in touch with them, their
Ideas and their points Of view, while
the European monarch travels solely
for his own pleasure, with seldom a
thought of ascertaining what sort of
government his subjects want him to
give them.
Those who are disposed to deal i'm
partially with history will admit the
truth that from the very foundation Of
the republic we have never had a gov-
eminent so fully under the control of
the people of today. We have never
had suffrage so universal, We have
never had elections so free, we have
never had the ballot so well safe
guarded, we have never had public
officials so conscientious mol 30 ap-

There's q charm about the chimin' Of the

There's q c~aptivatin' sweetness In the trtll-

A-blisterin' your fingers as you're ssrnln'

The screechin' note that Ereets you seems

As you drop your pick an shovel when the

It's q raspln' note discordant to a highly

But to every hungry Teller It's a message
soft an clear:
An you mutely bless the music as you
take from off the nail
The dainty homemade ~knick-knacks In the

An the pipes o. Pan seem playin' when

There are artists upon music, an there's

But a hungry man at noontime is a Judge
OF music, too!
For he's given not 20 thinkin how the

there have doubtless been a good many
other reasons for this, certainly the ef-
feet OF the organization OF labor has
been TO maintain q steady and high rate

ing possible.
Nothing I have said or shall say
should be construed into an attitude OF
criticism against or unfriendliness TO those
workingmen who for any reason do not
Join unions. Their right to labor for such
wage as they choose to accept is sacred
and any lawless invasion Of that right
cannot be too severely condemned.
"All advantages OF trad unionism,
great as they are. cannot weigh a feather
in the scale against the right Of any
man lawfully seeking employment to
work for whom and what price he will.
And 1 say this with all the emphasis pos
sible, even though the fact is that II 1
we're a w~orkingman. 1 should probably
deem II wise to join a union for the
reasons given.
