Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannoi
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way TO cure deat-
ness, and thar is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an il
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When TIL
tube is inflamed you have a rumbliaz
sound or imperfect hearing, and whei
it is entirely clos ed, Deafness is the re-
suit and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
| its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
| ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of

THE STATE PRESS.
AS TO SCHOOL BOOKS.


The Indianapolis News betrays a
to belittle Mr.. Beveridge's PROPOSE
ton for free school books. 1t says in
part
"One Of the great" issues sprung
on the people of Indiana by Beveridge
is that of free school books. AS a
matter of fact, the books would not
be free. for they would be paid for
out of the state treasury"
Think of that! BY the same rule
are not free, because they are paid
for by taxation. The News itself how
ever sees there is no point made in
this for it continues:
But let that pass. His idea is that
all the children who attend the public
schools shall get their books free of
charge, which of course, means that
the laboring men of Indiana would be
taxed to provide books for the child
rem of the rich.
Let us see about that. The old true
ism "A fool for luck and a poor man
for children" has not been repealed,
we DSllSSe. 1t WOulu De CONSERVATIVE
to say that there are twenty poor men
in Indiana to one rich man. Assum-
ing that the rich men have proportion
ately as many children as the poor,
who are of school age, even the as
sumption of the indianapolis News is
refuted. The taxation for school books
would be levied as other taxes. 1t has
been argued that three cents on each
hundred dollars would provide every
pupil in the common schools with the
necessary books. But say it would
cost five cents. The so-ealled poor
man pays take on from $50 to $1,000,
as a rule. The formers tax would
then be IN cents and the latter's
fifty cents. The poor man in Con-
nersville with even one child who
who would get through a season with
fifty cents would be sight worth
looking at. Necessarily, then, the bur
den of the school book tax would fall
on the rich or wellto-do. And besides
the state, if it should buy the books
should be able to obtain them at a
lower rate than that paid by indivi-
duals patrons. Mr.. Beveridge has
sprung" no new issue in this instance
More than twenty states have free
school books and the system works
satisfactorily. Truly the News must
be close run for argument when il

They realize that the very large per

he ran in a primary. So it certainly

stopped him and asked why he wanted
to bid adicu to life. The would be sui

point Of bankruptcy and fhat he pre-
ferred facing death to facing his cred

Cartouche was touched and told the
man to coll his creditors together on
the morrow and they should be paid
In full.
The creditors assembled. Cartouche
went over their accounts. paid them
all, got their receipts and said goodby
to his grateful beneficiary.
It is almost needless to add that
when the creditors left Cartouche met
them and relieved them Of all he had
