Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

stacian Tube. When this tube Is inflam-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-

closed Deafness is the result, and I'M
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal

A Guessers Christmas Figures.

II the following dream of a New
York correspondent were true it would
be worth considering seriously. Our
Christmas expenses are big enough
but hardly up to this: The Christmas
shopping bill of the city of New York
this year it Is expected will reach the
enormous total of the annual expenses
of the National Governmcnt-one bill
lion dollars. It is declared by experts
who are studying conditions in the
shopping centers of the great metropo-
lis that the holiday trade is outdoing
all past records in volume and cost.
There are nearly 100000 Christmas
stockings to fill within the prescribed
limits Of what is known as the greater
city, and Santa Claus seems to be
more lavish than ever in his expendi-
lures this year. The buying by out of
town visitors also has been particu-
larly heavy, a feature which is at
tributed to the abundant crops and the
generous prices which have prevailed.
Reports from other parts of the co,,n.
try reflect similar conditions and in

a Western city has evolved scheme
for the humane treatment of animals
Hereafter when the police find an un-
planketed horse hitched out in the
cold, the horse will be taken up and
placed in a livery stable. The owner
must redeem the animal from the
stable by paying for the care. That
system is to be inaugurated in lieu Of
arrests and fines. TO arrest and fine
the owner of the horse won't relieve
the animal that's suffering in the cold.
In addition to giving the owner of a
neglected horse q good scare, for he
will probably think it has been stolen,
he viii get all the necessary humili-
alton by finding his horse in 4 livery
stable, warm and cared for by more
humane hands than his own. Unless,
some day, the workers for dumb ami
mails discover that some men as in
genious as lazy take that way to avoid
the trouble OF going to the stable.

August cotton sold in the New York
market for 20 cents pound which
price exceeded by almost three per cent
the highest price reached during the
famous bull years of 10000. but this
is nothing compared with the price
paid by Augustine Haincs, former
agent Of the Laconia cloth mills Of
Biddeford. who during the Civil War
paid $l.20 per pound for cotton taken
from old mattresses. AS nearly as
can be learned this was a record price
for the two cities. At times it was
impossible for the Maine mills to get
cotton at any price. and during these
periods the industries would close
down and the operatives would be CIV

THE CONVENTION

New Orleans, February 1.-THE sec
ond DAYS session of the National Edi-
torial association was divided between
business and pleasure. Questions of or
ganization were discussed and num-
Der of addresses on subjects relating
to the newspaper profession delivered.
Good roads and improved waterways
we're objects which the association,
through many of its members, declared
should be constantly striven for
tn rough editorial effort. A luncheon,
a trip on the river and a visit to points
of interest in New Orleans were among
the social features of the days pro-
gramme.
According to Miss Jean Gordon, fac
tory inspector of Louisiana, who today
addressed the National Editorial as
ISOLATION, conservation of women and
children is one of the greatest prob
lens to be worked out in America"
Considerable applause followed Miss
Gordon's advocating fwoman's suffrage.
Felix /. Koch of Cincinnati urged the
need Of having membership in the as
ISOLATION so restricted las to make 1t
representative of the editorial brain OF
the country"
Among other speakers of the day
were Joe Mitch ell Chapple, editor OF
the National Magazine of Boston; Miss
Caroline Hulings, editor of the Book :
