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 infamed condition of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have e rumbling sound or imper- feet hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and un' elss the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's nor nal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by CataTTh, which is noth ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case ot deafness (caused by Catsrrh) that cannot be cured by Halls CatarTh Cure. Send for cir culaTs, free.

ORIGIN OF THE SANDWICH

The first ancestor of the sandwich
was an article of diet much INDUCED
in by the Romans and called by them
"offula." 1t was later adopted under
various names by several European
nations, but the first real sandwich,
so called, was eaten by an English
man, John Montague, fourth Earl of
Sandwich, in the middle of the eight
eenth century. So fond of his gam
ing table was the earl that he would
not leave it at dinner time, where
upon his. anxious family would send
the butler to him with 'slices Of bread
with meat between" Light repasts
of this kind grew to be quite the
rage, and in 1862 Gibbon in his jour
nal tells of dining at the Cocoa Tree,
where the first men in the kingdom
were to be observed enjoying a bit
of cold meat or sandwich" In 1886
Dickens described supper quite like
our later-day parties, where small,
triangular sandwiches in trays" were
passed. Since then the continuance
has assumed multitude of forms,
from the clumsy ham and mustard
variety to those of delicate marmalade
for milady's pink tea. The sandwich
holds it's place in our menus not only
because of its innate common sense,
but because of its democracy.

BOOTH MEMORIAL
TO BE ERECTED
Son of the Great SaIvationist
Issues an Appeal for S75J,-.
900 to Maintain Training
College for Officers

LONDON, Sept. 5.-Bramwell Booth,
the new head of the Salvation Army,
has issued an appeal for. $75O, 900 with
which to erect, equip and maintain a
new training college for Salvation
Army officers as a memorial to his
father.
Regarding the form of the memorial
he says:
1T seems clear that we should ask
ourselves, What would he himself say
could he speak to us?' know that in
consistence with his noble life he
would warmly repudiate any thought
of personal tribute, ouch as could be
expressed ty stone or iron. He would
say: Let it be something that would
benefit the needy, and the needy of all
countries And he would say: Let it
be something, the beneficial effect of
which will be felt, if possible, as long
as the world lasts
In further discussing the project,
Branwell Booth adds that provision
for the better training of officers had
much occupied his fathers mind of
late years, but he hesitated to bring
out the plan, because of the large sum
required.
"But, asks the new officer COM
handing, may not his death have
given us just the impetus we need for
an extraordinary effort? do not in
tend to spend one shilling on turrets
OF marble ornamentation, but to build
in the simplest form consistent with
- -. L. T,n
other countries the English model will
be largely followed, and complete
union on the general plan will be en-
cured. The amount raised here will
determine what shall be done inatle
United States, Canada, India, Germany
and elsewhere"

The fact that Mr.. Taft held his ground
will give strength to his cause else
where throughout the nation.
There are 1.078 delegates in the re,
publican national convention. 1t re-
quires $40 votes "a majority to nomi
nate. The results of the preferen'
tial primaries and conventions held in
the various states to date show 433
d. legates instructed for or pledged to
Mr.. Taft, while Mr. Roosevelt has Sc.
cured 225 delegates. Mr.. Taft needs
but 107 more delegates to win the
nomination. The tide sweeps onward,
and there is little chance that Roose-
velt,s future gains will shake the
presidents grip on victory at Chicago
when the first ballot is cast at the re-
