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 Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a 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 ube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Sure Growth Fertilizers
GUARANTEED:
Highest in Quality and Commercial Value
Perfect Drilling Condition.
Strong New Bags

The reports of the State Chemists give the ''vaue
guaranteed" and value found in all fertilizers These
valuations calculated by giving the estimated
mercial value of Ammonia Available Phosphoric Acid
and Potash These valuations do not vary much in the
different States, and the Maryland State Chemist in
1911 gave the following valuations:
For Ammonia, 2Oc per h.; for Available Phos
phorc Acid &c. per h. and for Potash, &C. per Id. The
minimum guarantee for Sure Growth Superphosphate
is: Ammonia, per cent; Available Phosphorc Acid,
8 per cent Potash, Actual, per cent.
per cent Ammonia 40 per $500
per Potash 60 lbs. per at Sc 800
$206O
This calculation gives our guaranteed commercial
value at the prices fixed by the State Chemist for the
elements of Plant Food represented The average of
two tests made in 1911 by the Maryland State Chemist
showed value of $23 As 49, SIS better value than
pressed by guarantee For the benefit of those who
do not clearly understand the above calculation would
state that the per cent Ammonia in the ton is derived
from the of 400 to 500 lbs. High Grade Material
1t requires 1900 lbs material to yield per cent. Avail
able Phosphorc Acid and 300 lbs. more of Potash
Salts to yield the 3 per cent
The analysis of our principal brands in Maryland,
Delaware and Pennsylvania for the years 1910 and 1911
have been carefully checked up and the average from
all tie made in the three States for the two years,
shows the following in value the guarantee

The story of cotton is Il companion
piece to the story of Schedule k-the
WOODEN schedule declared by PreSi
dent Taft to be infamous and indefen-
sible
The findings of the tariff board with
regard to the wooden schedule were an
alyzed by Chairman Underwood of the
ways and means committee and con-
demned as inaccurate. inc, mpete and
worthless as an aid to Iegi> alton
When the tariff boards findings on
the cotton schedule were made public
the World decided to make its own
investigation concerning it, and Mr.
MacLea was selected for that purpose.
The World had the findings of the
board on manufacturers of cotton dis
sected from the practical point of view
OF business. analysed in their relation
to the interest of the consumer and
the facts translated into the language
of the everyday man and woman.
One hundred cloth samples purchased

posed the very generally pcrpetrated
fraud Of selling American made goods

Recognizing that the tariff would be

controversy would center about Presi

and its work. the World undertook the
investigation Of cotton ana sought an
swers to the following questions:
Has the work Of the tariff board JUS
titled the delay in reducing the tariff
and giving relief from the high cost
of living?
What have ths people gained in the
three years under the Payne AIdrich
tariff IN RETURN FOR MORE THAN
$5,ooo,ooo,o 900 TAXED OUT OF THEIR
POCKETS AND INTO THE POCK-
ETS OF PROTECTED PRIVILEGE?
How honestly, inopartiaIIy and thor
ouqhIy did the "nonpartisan" tariff
board undertake it's task?
Several months before the cotton re.
port was completed Mr. MacLea de-
clares that he discovered sinister in
tluences in the tariff boards working
to eliminate findings most damaging
to the favored few in the cotton mill
industry. Such suppressed information
as Mr.. MacLea considers to be of vital
Importance to the cotton industry and
the public has be; presented in the
World. He has go explained what
the mass of figures OF the cotton report
signifies and presented some of the

be drawn from that report, a work
which the board saw fit not to attempt.
