Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing viii be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb.6--
A fair Tuesday run of cattle came in
to-day, and it is selling a shade
stronger than the market of yester-
day. The total offering at all the
markets yesterday was short, and it
gave the week good start Chicago
expects 1900 cattle tomorrow, which
is not enough to take the edge of
anywhere, and the indications are
this will be another sellers week.
Packers complain bitterly of the
prices they have to pay. not so much
on account of the prime cattle, as
on the lower grades Cow buyers come
in for curtain lectures from packing
house managers every day because of
the high cost of the stuff, and steer
buyers get called down for not pur-
chasing more prime heavy cattle. In
either case the buyer is helpless as
long as receipts continue short, but
should opportunity offer, he has his
course charted- Eight dollars was
paid again today equalling the top of
yesterday. and more than half the
steers sell above 500 this week.
Feeder buyers compete with packers
on half fat steers, Illinois men dar-
ing to pay up to $3.50 in the last
week for steers to put on feed Stock
steers sell at $500 to $500, with very
few cattle under $500. Bulls bring
$500 to $3.50. cows 500 $500, heifers
up to $3.50, veal calves s7.20 for best
Thirty loads quarantine cattle came
in today, steers at $3.50 to S6.40. COWS

WOMAN WANTED
IN PANAMA HIS Wife

Louis Kaden, OF 1898 DIVISION
street, senior member OF the truck
ing firm Of l.. Kaden & Son, Is
vainly seeking the whereabouts OF
Mrs. Karen Jemiec, whom he claims
to be his wife. She was snatched
from his home by government In
spectors Thursday on a warrant
charging her with keeping a house
Of prostitution In the canal zone In
Panama. 1t is declared she was
wanted principally to testify In a
case wherein a former United states
senator Is seeking reinstatement.
Kaden appealed to the police and
to Recorder Kehoe last night In an
effort to learn Of where U. S. 1mm1-
grafton Inspector Andrew J. Tedesco
took his wife to. He claimed she
never conducted a house Of prosti-
tuition and could furnish proof that
she had lived with him in this city
for the past six years. Mystery was
added to the Ease when he told the
police that Inspector Tedesco had
been at his home on several occa-
sions, had spoken to his wife, but
had not attempted to arrest her. The
police stated yesterday the govern
ment authorities had been seeking
the custody of the woman for more
than two years.
