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 inflamed con
dition OF the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed

 FOR THE VETERANS
Pension Money Will Be Available for Confederate
 Soldiers This Morning

Montgomery, March 30.-(Special.)- Warrants aggregating $246,2S3 have been sent out by State Auditor Brooks Smith to the various probate judges of the state for distribution among Con- federate soldiers and sailors. These warrants are for the quarterly payment beginning April 1 and will be ready for distribution on the first of next month.
 The Confederate pension warrants for April of this year show a slight depreciation over April of last year. In April, 1910, the quarterly payment amounted to $24S,25s, an excess -of S197o over the same quarter of the pres ent year. This excess may be account ed for by reason of the fact that great many old veterans have died since last April. the number of pen sioners for the next quarter being 367 less than the number on the roll in April, 1910.
 The January quarterly payment of this year to old veterans amounted to $249,547, while there were 305 more pensioners on the roll at that time than at .the present.
 The April warrants sent out from the state auditors office were divided into the following classes:
 First class, 2293 at $25, $57,325.
 Second class, 161 at S20, S3220.
 Third class, 193 at $16, S50SS.
 Fourth class 14,612 at S12.50, $1S2.650
 Total, 17,259, $246,2S3
