Emperor George v.

The London Express usually defen-
der of things as they are proposes
that George ". when crowned next
June, take the title of emperor The
greatest OF the worlds empires, with
41O ,OO0,O0 people, complains the Ex-
press Is the only one that has no en-
peror. Its monarch is called king.
1t proposes that the king" call
himself: Our Sovereign. Lord George
by the wish Of his people emperor of
the British and by the grace Of God
Of the United Kingdom Of Great Bril-
tain and Ireland and Of the British
dominions beyond the seas, king de-
fender of the faith, emperor of In
dia."
The Express also proposes an i'm
perial legislation chamber, represent
ing the various countries in the
empire.
England wants her straping chill
dren oversea-that have outgrown
their need of anything she has ex-
cept motherly love-to support and
protect her In her old age. The Ex-
press thinks that they would feel a
closer Relationship to "the emperor
of the British" than to "the king Of
Great Britain and Ireland, and the
British dominions beyond the seas"
But It also says that the words .of
the British instead of British en-
peror." suggest that free Britons de-
liberately choose the principle OF
monarchy for the headship of the
state. Several other British news
papers have indorsed the proposal. :,

Deafness Cannot be Cured i.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional re-
NEEDLES. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucuous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when 1t is entirely closed.
deafness Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its norma con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of tn emucuous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
