an able sermon from Holy InnOcents
pulpit on Wednesday night OF last

the world at it's exact value, and
that when we leave the world He
misses this service

man, is one OF the strongest minis

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachan Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a 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 its normal condi-
ton, 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 Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure

Market Influenced by Expectations of
Permission for increases.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The decision Of
the Interstate Commerce commission was
surprise to Wall street, which had looked
forward to the granting Of at least part
Of the increases asked in rates. The de-
cision was not announced until after the
stock market had closed. but earlier in
the day 1t became known that final action
might be expected this afternoon. Brokers'
offices were kept open after hours and
hsbitues Of the financial district waited
for the news from Washington. They re-
ceived It in establishment.
Some nervousness as to the outcome was
shown in the stock market early in the
day. but reports that advances would be
granted were anticipated so generally that
stocks quickly recovered. Brokerage
houses with international connections be-
gan preparation as soon as the news was
received to place orders in European mar
kets for execution before the opening of
the New York market in the morning.

Since the first of the year stocks OF the
important railroads have advanced ten
points or more, and. while the rise had
been due, in part, to expectations of bet
Ter industrial conditions which affected
the whole market, the belief that the rail-
roads would be permitted to increase their
rates was to some extent responsible
II was pointed out that the reports of
the railroads earnings within recent
months have shown. in most cases. a ma
terial improvement and that the roads
are in better position TO meet the con-
ditions they now face than they would
have been had the decision been announced
at an earlier date
Railroad wages have been increased
greatly within the last year and the roads
have looked forward to higher freight
rates as recompensation. Several rail-
roads have also increased their dividends
during the period in which the decision
has been hanging fire.

bad BLOOD
OFTEN INHERITED

Bad blood does not always come as
the result of careless living, or indis-
cretions; it is condition frequently
inherited. Normal, healthy blood
contains millions of tiny red corpus
cles, which are the vitalizing and
nourishing element of the circulation,
their Office being to provide every
portion of the system with its neces-
sary strength and nutriment. In
weak, impure blood these corpuscles
are lacking in numbers, and therefore
the blood is not able to supply the
proper amount of nourishment to the
body. Bad blood manifests itself in
many ways, With some it takes the
form of skin diseases and eruptions,
Others become bilious and malarious,
with sallow compilations, torpid liver,
etc. Bad blood produces Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofula
and like troubles. Nothing is equal
to S. S. s. as a remedy for bad blood;
