Deafness Cannot be Cured

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
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
Unnamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumDling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when 1t Is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the In
nammation cal be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
named condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We Will give one hundred dollars

to the first month Of the struggle for

three have passed the 10000 mark,
eight are beyond the 10000 pace,
while fourteen are bringing up in
terest in the contest with votes to
their credit In excess OF 5000.

Mt it. Some of the contestants have
not moved from the 1000 mark, but
that doesn't signify that they are not
In the race. They may have more

than the highest recorded this week.

Chester Has $40, 600 Fire.

Chester. March chichester was
visited by another disastrous fire Fri
day night, the wood and steel
working plant Of the Chester Machine
and Lumber Company being entirely
destroyed. The fire originated in the
dry kiln in the rear of the property,
and when discovered was blazing flu
riously. The fire department respond
ed promptly and did good work, but,
owing to the fact that the building
was filled with rich lumber and other
combustible material, the fire made
rapid progress. The valuable ma
chincry was ruined beyond the hope
OF saving. The loss is about $4O,-
900. with insurance of only $4,000.
The rate Of insurance on plants of
this character IS very high, which ac-
counts for the small amount of in
surance.

TOBACCO PLAN HIT

RESTORE COMPETITION.
tons by Court to Prevent Pos
slbIe Reformation Of Trust.

New York.-The plea for reorgani-
cation Of the tobacco trust submitted
by the American Tobacco company
and co-detendants to the government
antitrust suit was both praised and
condemned before the circuit court
judges of the United States for the
southern district of New York.
After Attorney General Wickersham
had filed the governments answer to
the plan, Lewis Cass Ledyard, arguing
for the defendants, insisted that it
was an honest plan to comply with
the Supreme courts mandate for a
reorganization that will restore COM
petition in compliance with the terms
Of the Sherman antitrust law.
Independent manufacturers, dealers,
and producers of tobacco unanimously
disapproved the plan on the ground
that it is a sharp proposal to divide
the properties, control of which still
would be retained by the group of in
dividuals now dominating the indus
try. Louis D. Brandeis of Boston
made the principal argument against
the proposal.
The answer of the attorney general
did not express general opposition to
the dissolution plan, but contained
for the guidance of the court many re
strictions deemed necessary to as
sure restoration Of competition in the
tobacco industry.
