Deafness Can Not be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of
the mucous lining of The eustach-
ian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
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 bat al
infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol

WELL DONE.

The most notable political con-
vention in the history of the old
Volunteer State met Wednesday in
Nashville, composed of six thous-
and stalwart Democrats, and the
resolutions adopted has sounded
the death knell Of machine politics
in Tennessee.
They assembled there from every
nook in the State, strong men, res
olute men-men who hold princi-
pie above pelf-and a full ticket
was named for the two highest
courts, and g new Democratic State
Committee was chosen.
There YVES a notable absence of
politicians, the men who usually
gather on such occasions. New
faces were there, and in point of
numbers and high character of the
delegates a standard was set that
should be guide to the people of
Tennessee as long as time shall last.
A Gree Judiciary" will be the
battle cry of the patriotic Demo-
Gratis of Tennessee who are rally
ing to the standard of those men
who refused to barter their souls.

GRIT IN TIE WHEAT BELT
Kansas Farmers Make Good Through
Other Crops.
Corn and Oats Take the Place of
wheat, and Planters
Are Happy.

An interesting exhibit has been made
where the wheat had been practically
a failure, and the outcome is a striking
slde-iight on the recuperative ability OF
the farmer under difficulties. It has been
expected that a failure OF so important
a crop as wheat would bring discourage
ment. but such has not been the case.
In this county. out Of 10000 acres plant
ed last fall. only 1890 acres was left
standing. the most complete failure in
the oounty's history. In other Central
Kansas counties from 30 TO Is per cent
was plowed up.
Yet the farmers have shown no signs
Of financial worry. They have resown
the land 10 oats or planted it to corn.
and have little to say about their loss.
The merchants in the towns directly az
fected say that they have as yet seen
no material effect from the wheat failure,
and while trade is quiet, IL Is not more so
than during the heat Of summer in or
binary years
The fact that the Western farmer has
so many crops on which to depend makes
him independent OF any single product
The wheat loss in this country means at
least 100000 gone. yet Il is expected that
most OF this viii be replaced from the
other crops that have taken its ground
OF course, should the corn also prove
a light yield. it may mean a much diff
ferent aspect. but the point that one lead
ing crop can be wiped out almost totally,
without the effect being Immediately ap-
parent, is one that should not be forgot
ten in estimating the inherent strength
OF the Western farmers position under
present conditions.

PREVENTION OF DUST.
Department of Agriculture Makes
Series of Experiments.

Series of Experiments.
Experiments were made during the
summer OF 1909 at Washington. D. c..
Youngstown, Ohio, and Ithaca. n. Y,
with different preparations for the pre-
vention Of dust and the preservation Of
roads.
At Washington. waste sulphite liquor
was used on the maeadam driveway
subjected to light traffic sulphite liquor
is a dense sticky liquid produced in the
manufacture of wood pulp. 1t was APP
piled in mixtures with water In varying
proportions. The results show that It
has but little value as permanent road
treatment, but that in concentrated form
1t may be classed as a temporary or
simipermanent dust preventive and road
binder.
At Youngstown, blast furnace Stag was
used alone. and in different combinations
with lime, sulphite liquor, and tar, TO de-
termine the best method Of utilizing
Stag for road construction. While suf-
fcient time has not elapsed since these
experiments were made to show definite
and permanent results, il is believed that
they Will be valuable in determining
what combinations will produce the best
road.
At ithaca, tar, OIL artificial asphalt
preparations. brick, cement, and Stag
were used with varying results.

Manchester ship Waterway Is a

The Political Science Quarterly for
June has an article upon the Manches-

University Of Chicago.
The canal was opened in 1894. and the
capital and expenditures to date amount
TO approximately $S4.OO0OO0. The costs
ran so far above estimates that inves-
tors became disheartened, and the city
OF Manchester was obliged to come 20
the rescue with a loan of SIS. 900 to
complete the work.
The earnings Of the canal have been
far below estimates, the expenses for
maintenance ana operation have been
heavier than anticipated and in the six
