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 inHamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
ilamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect 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 its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused boy Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed 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

CH|NA'S GREAT WALL.
Nonder of World Is Literally Wall
of Blood.
For Tweney-One Centuries II Has Re-
manned the Most Amazing Con-
struction of Human Hands
Builders Name Cursed.

Pekin.-Best known by repute OF
wall of China has remained for 81
centuries the most amazing construc-
ton of human hands. Ruined and
broken as it is, it is clear at first
sight that the amount of human labor
required to build this majestic barrier
hundred miles long, with additional
loops that add another. 1000 miles,
there were originally $4,000 watch
towers upon it.
The wall was built at the end of the
third century before Christ by the
first, and perhaps the greatest, of all
Chinese emperors. Che-HWang-te,
prince of Tsin, succeeded as boy to
the throne of a comparatively small
kingdom and at once began to put
into a state of order and defence q
territory that long had been allowed
to degenerate into a mere prey to an
nual northern invaders. After a few
years the young king assumed the
style of emperor end organized the
forces of what for the first time in
history was China. For he at once
gave to the whole of this new empire
the name of his own small state. He
then marched out against the Tar
tars, his hereditary and perennial
enemies in the north. After routing
these marauding pests he was re-
called for the usual oriental need of

Undeterred by the magnitude of

Che-Hwang-te gave the word and the
huge structure slowly forged it's way
from many centers at once along the
entire northern boundary of what was
then the Chinese empire. Che-Hwang

and from many quarters. Some of
his press gang work was hardly cred

mere possession of book condemned
the wretched owner to four years
hard labor on the wall.

Work of the
Legislature
An Epiton,e of Doings at Madison

The senate has concurred in the
Gllboy bill, providing that no state
n ent made by an injured person
within seventy-two hours of the time
Of injury shall be used in any dam
age suit brought by him; the Nye
bill making all persons who per-
formed military service for the
United States in time of war eligible
to county aid; the Johnson bill, pro-
CT expenses of repairing or construct
ing sidewalks; the Urquhart bill, pro-
viding for the licensing of farms for
raising protected fur bearing ami
rlals, and a dozen bills relating to
fishing and hunting.
The first move in showing the bind
or Irvine plant through the legislature
was made when the assembly passed
the bill as amended to a third read
ing by vote of 81 to 16. This bill
was introduced early in the session
and provided for the appropriation of
a revolving fund. The substitute
provided for an appropriation of
revolving fund of 100000 this
year and 100000 in 1912 An at
tempt to amend the bill so the pris-
oners would not be required to work
more than eight hours each day was
voted down.
The famous Wehrwein bill, which
gives the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction control of the entrance
qualifications to the university in
stead of the university, was reported
into the assembly by the committee
on education for indefinite postpone
ment. The measure provides that
graduates of free high schools shall
be admitted to the university without
examination.
The senate adopted substitute for
the Hamper resolution, providing for
a special legislative committee to con-
fer with the governor and capitol
building commission regarding pro-
posed changes of the plans for the
new statehouse. The substitute pro-
vides for a new chamber for the as
sembly in the north wing and the
abandonment of the present assem-
bly, chamber in the west wing to other
purposes because it is too small.
The senate committee on judiciary
recommended the Johnson bill, Great
ing a new judiciary circuit, consisting
Of Marinette, Oconto, Florence and
Forest counties, for concurrence.
The senate adopted by rising vote
a resolution expressing it's sympathy
for Senator John NJ. True of Baraboo
on the death of his wife.
A substitute bill introduced by
Senator Sanborn, providing for the
participation of Wisconsin in the cen
tennial of Perry's victory on Lake
Erie, was passed to engrossment in
the senate.
The bill to increase salaries of SUI
preme court justices to $4,000 was
killed in the assembly by vote OF
81 to 81. A supplemental bill for
the retirement OF justices as COM
missioners of the court on $4,000
year met a like fate.
The teachers retirement fund bill
