CLARK is Confident

Champ Clark of Missouri. has an
nounced his intention to h4cnne Il
candidate for speaker OF the House of
Representatives in 1911, and in the
course of au Interview ut PittSburg,

purpose to do ST.. rr:narke |:
Every time President Taft opens
his mouth h aids the Democratic
party Upon being asked if he i'll
tended making mention of Mr. Taft'S
remarks in his campaign for the speaker
ship, Mr.. Clark said:
Since Congress adjourned | have
been pretty well over four or five
states, and have paSSe through six
more. and everywhere there is intense
prejudice against and disgust FIR the
Payne Aldrich tariff bill Even large
majority of Republicans are not en-
amored of it. President Taft's speeches,
especially his Winona speech, will help
the Democrats win the next House.
The influence of tine Al,irlch Cannon
Stand-patters over the President appears
TO he increasing In the short state
Inent which he gave out when he sign
ed the bill, he asserted only that it was
part fulfillment Of Republican prom
ises; but in his Winona speech he posi-
lively asserted that it is the best tariff
bill ever put on the statute books. As
the average rate in the Payne AIdl ich
bill is about two per cent higher than
the average of the Dlngley bill, Presi-
dent Taft'S Winona statement is alb
sOlutcly prep"sterOus, unless he has
come to believe that the higher the
tariff the better the bill
His Winona speech has been called
IN epoch maker. Perhaps it is. the
speech being that in which the Re
publican party got Slnarely on the to-
hogan.
Besides the tariff question, the per-
sonal feuds among the Republicans
will help us to large extent. The
CannOn-FOwler feud and the Cannon

During the last few days the Sultan Of Turkey

cigarettes and nothing else, but now he is more
fond of a good cigar than tobacco wrapped in

for him in Cuba Of the finest tobacco.
The German emperor smokes cigars and cigar

his study he puffs at q small wooden pipe OF

cost about two shillings each.
The king OF Spain keeps strictly to the cigar.

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 inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when It is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless the in
Illumination 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 inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
