DEAFNESS CANNOT 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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caus-
ed by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely 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 but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

CONSULT THE REPORTER.

Nearly all the private secretaries
of senators and congressman, at
Washington were formerly newspa-
permen, because these officials real
ize that a good reporter from the
very nature of his work is better
adapted than any other class for
this profession. The good reporter
is generally a master of concise
style, a diplomatic method of state
ment, ability to grasp the salient
points of a situation, and a great
knowledge of human nature learned
from his mingling with all kinds of
people, classes, religions and busi-
ness. This isn't to>prove that the
reporter is more intelligent than
professional men but his training
has been along lines that develop
such qualities. For instance the
world at large is blissfully ignorant
of the extent to which many promi-
nent citizens are indebted to the
reporters who interview them on
live issues. The prominent citizen
will indulge in a fight of words
that, if printed as he uttered them,
would make him the laughingstock
of all who read them and awaken a
desire in the breast of the interview
ed one to shed the scribe's gore in
large quantities.
When a reporter secures an inter-
view he does not, save in very rare
instances, write out what was told
him in the exact words used. He
polishes up and trims off the ragged
edges, as it were, and presents to
readers finished product. The in
terviewed one, if he has the saving
grace of common sense, is always
grateful for the changes made and
considers himself the reporter S
debtor.
The Baltimore Evening Sun pre-,
sentS this matter so lucidly and ap-
positely that we quote it. The Sun
uses the actual remarks of man
besought for pronunciamento up
on the school question to point its
moral and adorn it's tale thus:
Don't talk to me about Van Sickle
The scholars in the schools to-day
don't learn half what they used tC
learn. When l went to school things
were different. To-day they waste
their time on knittin', mud pies an
such damn monkey business. heerd

L III III ldNOT Vi CuLLlu out IudJ lduCy

Say somethin' good an strong. Tel
'em I'm against it.
The interview appears in the pa.
per next day, done into English by
the reporter, as follows:
No one can deny that the present
imbroigilo is disorganizing the
schools and diminishing the eff
cheney of the teachers. Reports
have received from parents convince
me that the experiments attempted
by Mr.. Van Sickle have failed to
improve the system or to benefit the
pupils. Whatever the demerits OF
the old curriculum, it at least laid a
firm foundation and gave the pupil
working knowledge of the funda.
mental branches. The new curri-
culum does not accomplish this.

I~NsTRUCTING FOREIGNERS.

We quote the following from our
Trenton correspondence as a sugges-
ton for work that is sadly needed in
this city.
"The Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION of Asbury Park has been
highly commended for the excellent
work it has inaugurated in the es-
adjustment of evening classes for
foreigners. The same idea has been
carried out in New Brunswick where
professors and young men of Rut-
gers College have opened classes for
foreigners to teach them something
Of our language, as well as the rudi-
ments Of the system Of government.
''The requirements for naturaliza-
ton are such that many foreigners
are unable to obtain their first pap
ers without having put in consider
able time acquiring a knowledge Of
English. Anything that will give
them a better understanding of the
language and of the government will
be OF lasting benefit. Branches of
the Young Mems Christian AssOcia-
ton, or college men in other cities,
might take up this work with ad-
vantage. 1t is humanitarian, and
there may be no compensation what
ever, but the satisfaction Of doing
something for the State and country
should be sufficient payment land
no doubt Isl for those who take up
the work"
If Asbury Park finds It advantage
Gus to instruct the foreign popula-
ton there in English and United
States Government, how much more
is it necessary for Perth Amboy,
with its large population Of this
character, to give similar instrua-
tons. We have a great duty to per-
form here in making the hundreds
of new corners to u shores who set
tie in this city, good American citi-
zens. We have no college to draw
from as has New Brunswick where
! students are only too anxious to get

STABLE YARD AND SCHOOL.

We quoted yesterday an editorial
from the Newark star or The
House Fly" We are going to repeat
a part of that editorial because it
directly applies to this city. After
telling about flies being ~dlsease-car-
rying insects and declaring that it
has been scientifically computed that
if the house fly could be eXterminat-
ed two years would be added to the
average of human life besides a saw
ing of twenty billions of wealth, the
Newark Star says:
an u cities the plague of flies
can at least be held in check. 1t
exists in Newark largely because the
health ordinances are not enforced.
For example, it doesn't require much
vigilance to detect a stable dung
heap, and there are many stables in
Newark conducted in violation of the
law, in which millions of house flies
are bred"
There exists in this city an enor-
nous manure pile, left entirely ex-
posed all day, directly under the
windows of a public school. Not
only does the foul smell from this
dung heap permeate practically the
whole school, but the thousands of
flies bred in such a place cannot
help but fly through the open school
windows, not over ten or twelve feet
away, carrying death-dealing germs
to the hundreds of children forced to
sit for hours at a time breathing the
contaminated air.
There is adjoining school No. 1
on the north a boarding stable where
a large number of horses are kept.
The manure from all these stables
is piled high against the fence sep
arating the stable yard from School
No. l. With the school building not
more than ten or twelve feet from
the fence, this huge pile of manure
is literally under the school win
dows; almost reaching the stills.
Conditions could hardly be worse if
the children were being taught in a
stable.
We have wondered why the school
authorities did not make complaint
long ago, for to merely walk through
the school yard is bad enough, let
alone teaching hundreds Of children
every day under such conditions.
Upon inquiry of the principal, how
ever, we are informed that COM
plant has been made time and
again and also the attention of the
Board of Health has been directed
to the nuisance, but thus far MOTH
ing has been done. It is not a very
pleasant subject, out we have deter
mined t. apply a little of Woodrow
Wilson's publicity remedy to the
case so that parents may be made
aware under what conditions their
children are being taught, that pres
sure might be brought to bear on
those officials who refused to act in
such a serious matter. Public
schools should have the most pleas
ant surroundings. A small noun
tain of steaming, f~oul-smelling ma
nure, breeding thousands of disease
carrying flies directly under the
school window can hardly be called
pleasant surroundings, to put it
mildly. We do not believe such con-
ditions should be allowed in the
heart of a city, anyway, let alone
within a few feet and fully exposed
to the open windows of a public
school. All manure piles in the
business section of the city should
be in vaults and kept covered. Let
the health authorities look into this
matter before an epidemic breaks
out in the school.
