other hand, the revised Pe-ru-na
is a better remedy for some conditions
than Ka-tar-no. They are both IN
tended as catarrh remedies. They have
both done a great work in relieving
catarrh. chronic and acute. Many
hundreds Of cases Of chronic catarrh
have recovered while taking Ka-tar-no
and the same Is true Of the revised Pc
ru-na during the last six years since
its revision.
There is a difference, however, IN
the two remedies. Whenever catarrn
is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na IL the best. In
deed, this is exactly why the revision
was made, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative Is needed. where the
bowels are regular or inclined to De
loose, then the old Pe-ru-na (ka-tar-

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
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, 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 condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

The liquor interests have put in effect,
it is said, a very ,insidious method OF
campaigning against the prohibition
amendment. In Martinsburg, we are in
formed-and doubtless the same thing is
true in other localities-there are at pres
ent an unusually large number OF travel
ing men or drummers. They seem to be
selling 10 particular line of goods, but
are doing a lot OF talking. They are flu
ent OF tongue and agreeable in manner,
and use every opportunity to slyly bring
up discussion of the prohibition amend
meet. Then they casually remark that
they have recently been in Kansas, or
Maine, or some other prohibition State,
"and take it from me, fellows, prohibition
is an utter failure. OF course, it's Moth
ing to me, but don't vote for the amend
ment." And so with plausible lies they
do their utmost to deceive the voters and
destroy the temperance sentiment. Be
ware of strangers who are trying to pre-
JUDGE you against the amendment. More
than likely they are paid agents OF the
brewers and distillers.

A PROMINENT resident of Charleston
writing TO the Register says: al hope
that the people will not elect DR.. Hat
field Governor Of this State. II seems TO
me that il would be disgraceful to have
for Our Governor man who stands for
both fraud and violence and disrespect
for the law, and whose standing is based
on his connection with and support of the
whiskey gang. have no idea that the
respectable class of Republicans would
support him did they know the facts con-
corning him."
There seems TO be strong reaction
against DR.. Hatfield, as the people are
beginning to understand his past record
and his present affiliations. Senator w.
{. Grimes, of Marshall county, a Repub-
lican State Senator and an associate of
DIR. Hatfield in the Senate, has published
statement in the newspapers declaring
that he cannot support Hatfield. Senator
Grimes, who OF course has been in DO
sltion &c form a correct opinion, closes
his statement with these words: 81
haven't time to 60 into more details, but
will say that DR.. Hatfield was generally
with the special interests as against the
people. If the people want Governor
who favors these things | have not word
10 say, but believe they are entitled TO
know before voting"

It's no wonder Pennsylvania has such
a strong Roosevelt sentiment. William
Finn, the Pittsburg boss who is running
Roosevelt's campaign, had to admit on
Tuesday TO the Senate investigating COM
mittee that he has already contributed out
of his own pocket $4,000 TO the Bull
Moses political treasury-and this does
not include what Perkins and the other
unselfish trust magnates may have put
up. The thrifty Pennsylvanians have ev-
identity found good thing in the Roose-
welt boom, and they are making the most
of it.
II is likely, though, that the Roosevelt
enthusiasm will last no longer than the
Roosevelt money.

The State of West Virginia collects
annually in taxes nearly 81 100000. Last
year $S5, 900 OF the amount collected was
deposited in the Fidelity Banking and
Trust Company, of Bluefield, when that
institution failed, and it is believed the
State can not recover dollar it. Thus
almost five per cent of the State revenues
were lost. The same State officers who

For the Temperance Cause.

FOR Tic lcHIpCi ANY, S
There has been some unusually good
speaking the past week in the interest OF
the prohibition amendment. Last Friday
night there were addresses by Rev. B.
w. Meeks and Mr.. Lee M. Bender. OF
Martinsburg. Mr.. Bender made very
foreeful speech, in which he dwelt par
ticularly upon the methods used to intlict
upon the people OF Martinsburg the evil
influences OF the open saloon, and in PLAIN
and vigorous terms denounced those re-
sponsible for the calamity. Rev. Mr..
Meeks made an earnest and logical adj
dress that was enjoyed and appreciated
by the audience. He is most pleasing
speaker, and with humor and pathos IL
Illustrated his argument in favor OF the
prohibition amendment. His appeal to
the people to eradicate the evil OF the IL
censed saloon-a deep-Seated disease
which ne said required constitutional
treatment-was a powerful one. ID. l..
Rentch, president of the local federation,
presided at the meeting. and H. L. Sny-
der introduced the speakers.
Monday night there was genuine treat
10 the people who assembled to hear
Judge John c. McWhorter. OF Buckhan-
non, of the twelfth judicial circuit, and
Hon. John ]. Hetzel, OF Martinsburg, the
chairman of the speakers bureau OF the
Ratification Federation. Mr.. Hetzel, who
is best described as live wire in the
temperance campaign, made briefspeech,
but in the short time he was on the floor
he made things hum = nobody slept
The principal address was delivered by
Judge McWhorter, and we think a more
effective temperance argument has never
been presented to the people OF this COM
munity. 1t is not only that the Judge is a
graceful, fluent and pleasing speaker-he
presented his facts in so impressive and
logical manner that no one who heard
him could fail to be edited. He gave a
most interesting history of the license
system and the growth OF the saloon; he
next presented startling statistics OF the
evils of intemperance, as it effects the In
dividual and the state; he told OF the
cunning and insidious schemes OF the
whiskey people and the domination Of
the liquor interests in politics and bust
ness. He held the closest attention Of
the audience as he unfolded his convlnc-
ing array of facts and drove home his r.
REPUTABLE logic, and no one who heard
him but was deeply impressed. He re-
ceived the sincerest congratulations Of
the people upon his splendid speech
President Rentch was in charge OF the
meeting, and Hon. Thos. c. Miller intro
duced the speakers.
Hon. John L. Harley, of South Caro-
lima, will be in Shepherdstown in the In
terest of the temperance cause on Tues
day, October 18th, and will deliver an ad-
dress in the Shepherd College auditorium
at 10 O'Clock a. m.-chapel hour OF the
school. The people generally are invit-
ed TO be present and hear him.

Mr.. Shepherd replied that F. H. Howell,

ON the first page of the Register this
week may be found an editorial from the
Monroe Waterman, to which we call the
especial attention of our readers, as it
throws light on peculiar Legislative Sug-
geStion OF DR.. Hatfield, Republican can
didate for Governor. We cannot bring
ourselves to believe that DR.. Hatfield
could really mean to saddle such debt
on West Virginia-we rather incline to
the opinion that his proposed amendment
was an attempt TO kill the bill by loading
it with an unbearable burden.
Whatever may have been his object, it
very clearly shows where his sympathies
lie. Our readers may figure out for them
selves what his purpose was.

GOVERNOR WILSON has made thor
oughly good job of cleaning up New Jer-
sey politically. AT the State convention
on Tuesday his plans were adopted and
his policies endorsed, and final crimp
was put in the political schemes of James
Smith, the crooked boss who for so long
dominated the State. What Governor
Wilson has done in the way OF Kidding
New Jersey of its corrupt practices he
can as readily do for the country at large
if he is made President. His simple but
efficacious plan OF publicity and turning
on the light is all that is needed to make
