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 constitu-
ional remedies, Deafness is caused by an. ir-
Asmed condition Of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
lnfiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is n
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out Of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
nm infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Desfness (caused by Catarrh) that can

yNYIVES Of representatives and sena-

even with their lieges by establishing
a congressional club, immune from
masculine interference, are now en-
gagged in an even wider departure.
Not to be outdone by the states
men. each of whom has a chance to
spread himself in the congressional
directory, the women are about to
start congressional directory of
their own. They have begun already
to busy themselves about getting the
biographies of themselves which will
shortly be seen in Print.
The idea of the directory was first
broached to the club members last
spring by Mrs. Champ Clark who
stood sponsor FOR the venture. Her
interest in the wives of her husbands
associates and her faculty for col
lecting data about the persons she
meets, gave rise to the idea. A close
student of American history and
genealogy, Mrs. Clark has come. upon
some interesting facts about congress

PRAYER is WITHOUT RESULT
Boys Patience 10 Exhausted Aftss
Frequent Petitions to Throne
of Grace.

A young man who is prominent in
church work in Philadelphia tells this
about his nephew.
Harold is the youngsters name, and
next door lives another boy by the
name of Dewey. They are each seven
years old, and like most children OF
their age are disposed to get into mis-
chief as often as possible. Several
days ago they found a mans coat lying
on the front pavement while the own
er was fixing gas main. From the
pockets of the coat the two boys abb
stracted several tickets, and when
Harold's mother found it out she made
him return the tickets and explained
the sin which he had committed,
warning him to pray tat he be for
given that night. He obeyed. and
while on his knees added a prayer for
Dewey as well.
The next night Harold's mother was
in the next room when he said his
prayers, and she heard him ask God to
forgive Dewey for stealing piece of
cake. On the following evening he
again was moved to ask forgiveness
for his friend, this time for stealing
three pieces of candy. Apparently his
patience was exhausted, for the next
evening his mother was in the adjoin-
ing room when he offered his evening
prayer, and this is what she heard:
Gosh darn it, God, 1 have done the
best l could for Dewey. :. guess you
will have to watch him YOURSELF

ideas and his inventions, and they
were being subjected to an examina-
ton. 1t was on the strength of let
tiers he had received from the navy
department and the testimony of pat
ent attorneys that he obtained his
freedom.
Both in the army and navy Currell
was regarded as a crank. He became
convinced in the Spanish-American
war, he says, that the time was not
far distant when aeroplanes or dirigi-
BILE balloons would be important fac
tors in warfare, and acting on this
belief he began systematic study of
the problem that led him through sew
eral branches of the army and later
into the navy and then to the United
States army signal corps, and finally
to the madhouse, after his discharge
from the army.
Currell was released from the gov
eminent hospital for the insane on
October 6, and since then has bent
all his energies toward perfecting his
inventions in preparation for applying
for patents. His inventions consist of
dirigible aerial torpedo, detonator,
and an aerial rifle, and he is now
working on a time torpedo and an
other rifle for use in an aeroplane.

Horton Family

Horton, a name of Anglo-Saxon
derivation, admits Of little, if any, va
ration; Horton, Hortun and Hortoun
being perhaps the only ones. 1t is
from ort, or wort, meaning herbs or
vegetables, and tun, an enclosure, or
garden. Horton is the name of
towns in Kent, York, Chester, Dorset
and Gloucester, and in Norway there
as place called Horton; Vile de Hor-
Ia is town in the Azores.
What is perhaps the oldest frame
house in the United States was built
on Long island by Barnabas Horton,
pilgrim father This house was still
standing a few years ago. He was
born in 1900, in Leicestershire, Eng
land, and came over in the Swallow,
1855, with wife and two sons, Joseph
and Benjamin. Eight children were
born here. The captain of the Swal-
low was Horton, Jeremy by name.
If You want name for your family

century, put down Joseph, father of
BaYnabas, the pilgrim. We can go

In the time of Charles l., William
Horton, Of Howroyde, was man of
some importance-enough SO to have
his name handed down to the present

Woman Who Counts the Burned Money

ington.
The officers of the Royal Bank Of
Canada declared their willingness to
pay the salary and expenses of the
government expert who should be sent
down. Miss Elizabeth Smith, who
was selected to go, did not wish to
make the trip alone and the bank
also agreed to pay the expenses of
her sister.
So the two young women set sail for
Cuba. When they arrived at Mayari,
a small village on the coast of Cuba,
opposite Santiago, where the burned
bank building was located, Miss Eliza
beth Smith found that the officers Of
the bank had not touched the scorched
money because of their fear that the
charred remnant would fall to pieces.
The safe was still lying in the ruins
The officers of the bank had only
opened it once and after seeing the
condition of the money had closed it
hurriedly to await Miss Smiths ar
rival
At the end of three weeks the work
was accomplished. Miss Smith found
that she had been able to identify
$50,300 worth of notes. This was the
exact amount which the bank had on
hand in American notes, according to
its books.

AERIAL warfare-battles between
n men-birds in aeroplanes, destruc-
ton of Notifications and battleships
by shells and bombs dropped from
dirigible balloons and aerial craft
brought to earth by projectiles-was a

working almost night and day on his

army and naval officials, he is working
on instruments of destruction that

Impressive American Possibilities

enough balancing it's imports of food
by it's exports to prove that it feeds
more than 100000 of it's people.
France is much less heavily popu-
lated, but the French rate, in proper
ton to the area Of the country, would
make the inhabitants of the United
States number not less than 550,000,-
900, and France almost feeds its own
people. If isolated from the outside
world they could all be kept in COM
fort, as far as food goes.
1t is not necessary to make COM
PARSONS with crowded countries of
Europe or with the most densely
populated parts of the United States
to discover in the census returns re-
markable evidence of the possibili-
ties of growth which almost daze
thoughtful Americans.
The state of Ohio, for instance, has
not much more than half of the popu-
lation which the state might contain
without exceeding the limit of density
already reached in France. If it were
filled up as Germany is the popula-
ton would be much more than
doubled, and Germany keeps very
large part of it's area in forests.
If the entire country were occu-
pied as fully as Ohio is, the popula-
ton of the United States would be
supported easily, at the present stage
of scientific and mechanical progress.
From whatever point of view the
census returns are studied, in the
light of old world conditions and
some demonstrations of the posi-
bilities of population and production
in this country, the future is rich in
overwhelming visions of American
greatness. The more the facts of to-
day are looked into and weighed, the
more impressive they become as in
dications of the growth and progress
of the future

Directory of Congressmen's Wives

stock flows in the veins Of the wives
of many congressman. Whether 1t
be that thessturdy descendants OF the
New Englanders have survived under
the hardships of pioneer days when
other strains have persisted is ques-
ton about which many interesting
speculations might gather.
At first the congressional women
treated the request for biographical
material as joke, but soon they saw
that the information they gave. if
made accessible for all the members
Of the Congressional club, would af-
ford mighty interesting reading. Now
that the women Of the present con-
gressional circle are so shortly to
scatter, some of them never to return
to Washington, they have taken hold
of the directory idea with new vigor.
The general public will, of course,
have no such opportunity of reading
the directory of the feminine congress
sional contingent as 1t has had in the
case of that compiled by the senators
and representatives but it is expected
that more than one edition de luxe Of
the new directory will be made, and
Washington is looking for some inter
esting reading from the bulky volume.
The senators and representatives
themselves are showing considerable
interest in the volume. The biogra-
plies have one radical point of de-
parture from those in the masculine
volume--the biographers are not ex-
pected to tell when they were born.

IN several of the departments of the
government young women are prov
ing more efficient than young men. In
the treasury, in particular, they excel
IN many lines of work. Here is a
story in point: Not long ago United
States Treasurer McClung received a
letter from the Royal Bank of Can
ada telling about a fire that had ia
ken place in one of it's branch Offices
in Cuba. The fire had destroyed, or
almost destroyed, so the letter re-
lated, large sum of money in Amer
lean bank notes which were in the
safe in the bank.
The charred notes were in such
condition that if they were sent back
to the United States they would prob
ably fall to pieces. The bank wanted
to know whether it would be possible
for the treasurer to send one of his
experts down to Cuba, there to ex-
anime and identity the money and
