DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cam" reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way tc cUre deafness, and that is by constitution ali remedies. Deafness is caused by al. inramed condition of tho mucnn3 snsng Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflaiSed you have a rumhling sound CT imperfect hearing ana when it is entirely closed.

fectly justify into lines Of any width up to 30 inches, something no mach iEe has ever been able to do. To change from one style type to an- other it is merely necessary to press key and the change is made in a second. There is no shifting of ex- .pensiye magazines, with the attendant delay. The machine is operated fron a keyboard the same as linotype ma chine, but no spacing register before the operator is used.
 With newspaper stories in the rush of going to press and the other cruches that are unavoidable in news. paper offices, the Multtype has thA advantage of being q great time say CT. It will set the body of the story and the headlines at the same time, something that will De most apprc- cated in the newspaper offices of tho country.
 Mir. Allen "A. Canton, who is tho in- 1 Ycntor of the Multitype, has perfected many devices in the mechanical and electrical field. The multiple control system used in the control of electric trains on the trolley lines between Milwaukee and Waukesha, Wis, is
 his invention. The motor controls and starters used on the large motors in the big steel mills generally throughout the country are his in- yentions, and also the automatic tele- phone exchange systems owned by the Bell Telephone Company inter ests.
 Mr Canton has placed many labor saving devices on his Multitype ma- chine that will be greatly appreciated hY the operators Of those machines. instance, any commonly used word or combination Of letters is cast. It sets type around cuts automatically and an automatic indicating register indicates the character or words cast the same as on the visible typvriter. A cen toring device automatically inserts any line or fraction of line into the center of galley and casts space of equal length on either side of the line.
 The construction of the machine 's simplicity itself, and anyone who can operate keyboard can run the Null tilype. A great item for tlIa small printer is the fact that these mach ines are not expensive and the cost Of maintenance Is low. It is also fact that a linotype machinist is not need- ed to keep them i'll running order sp the. printer in the small town far away from the larger c,ty ca use them with perfect peace of mind and not be always in fear of the big bil. for repairs.
 Many attempts have been made to improve upon the linotype machine now generally used by newspapers and printers. in all lines of work. Some years ago there was linotype machine brought out which, while t proved a wonder, was altogether leo complicated for commercial purposes. Each machine cost more than S12'oo0 to build, so, with the manufacturer S ;eciit, the price was pronlbdory io the IrinttF.
 This machine was called the Page lrnot type, and 1t now feposes in lhn museum of Corney University. It cos, tht government 35,000 to get o&3 tne patent papers covering 1t, ali mes, of the patent examiners and af' torneys who had anything to do With this complicated but wonderful ma chine went insane.
