of Lincoln county, who is conducting
the prosecution, and he will forward

he was charged, Record explains that
he did so because he had received in

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only enc way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inhamma-
ton 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 in

with the problem of habltual drunken
ness was begun. in New York State
October !, when a new law stablishe

10 escape the habit without pbulic aid.
The board of inebrity consists of

New York offends the first time he
will be sent TO a reception hospital

EXPRESS RATES

1T no further steps should he taken toward the establishment of a parcels post system in this country. action of the express companies in reducing rates
 would show that agitation of the ques- tion has already resulted in securing for the public some substantial benefits
 Perhaps the rumored intention of the
 inter tate commerce commission to
 slash express rates had much to dc "ith bringing about this hastv and voluntary tariff revision downward Rut t should h- borne in mind that the. parcels post agitation has been a meal ns of spurriug the commission itself to action However the matter may be r"Eard"I apparently the people who usc
 the facilities "f the express companies
 much or little will he gainers
 The express companies might have displayed more wisdom had they scaled down their rates long ago. Their net earnings for years have been immense:
 even in these days of huge profits on special privileges the dividends they have been able to declare and the sur pluses they have been able to carry
 over, and the melons they have been
 able to cut and divide. have hen extra D
 ordinary They might we'll have af- forded to share a little of their pros p"ritv with their patrons: but they
 have refrained from doingso until their
 patr"ns-meaning practically the pub
 lie in general-have been compelled to
 seek a means Of relief. namely. the
 parcels post
 It is doubtful now if any concessions
 the express companies will or can make would stem the movement looking tn
 governmental monopoly Of the parcel
 carrying industry. The American peo-
 ple have been educated 10 a fairly clear
 understanding Of what the parcels post means in other countries and of what it win mean to this country, and they can hardly be educated out of this
 knowledge. The express companies
 may be doing the only thing now that common sense can dictate. but appar-
 ently they are doing it too late.

His famous Hall built along sncialistic principals proved a failure his marriage has proven a faiI- ure and We are prepared 10 state that as he waxes rich and his fellow asso- ciates in the lower walks of socialistIc life commences to make demands to divide up" his pile with them, all the principals of this Utopia belief will melt away and like his famous Hall and married life he represented by the let Q ters which spell failure.
