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 inAamed 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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

Catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

candidates for marriage into the fit and
the unfit. 1t would, however, have a
good effect If men ana women contem-
plating marriage were compelled before
taking that step, to consider seriously
their fitness for parenthoOd. Private
initiative, like that of the Chicago clergy
man, who refuses to marry any couple
not provided with medical certificates Of
health, might in time create a force Of
public opinion which would make disease
a mark of social bad form-a thing to be
ashamed of in oneself and certainly not
to be tolerated in ones children. This
may seem utopian; yet within few gen.
erations social ideas have undergone
greater transmutations than this would
involve. One thing is certain: the crea-
tion of public sentiment may seem a
slower method of racial Improvement
than the enactment of laws, but it is a
far surer and more thorough one; and it
avoids the dangers involved in hasty
sweeping legislation based on crude gen.
erali ations from insufficient data.

Warding Off Old Age

A famous French general when asked
how it was that he had such an erect
carriage replied that it was because he
bent over and touched the floor with his
fingers thirty times every day. If he had
acquired rigidity of the spine so that he
could not do that he would have had with
it weak abdominal muscles, which result
in portal congestion. This portal con-
gestion interferes with stomach diges-
zion and with the action of the liver.
The poison destroying power of the liver
IS iessened auto intoXication results,
and ADVERTISEMENTS and old age come on
at much earlier day. But by keeping
the spine flexible and the abdominal mus
les strong and tant the portal cir ula-
tion is kept free, and old age is held off.

Race Decay And Social Hygiene

The cry about race suicide" which is
so frequently heard nowadays is taken
by some tt represent a serious sociologic
problem demanding earnest consideration
on the part of farseeing nations. There
can he no doubt that a fall in the birth
rate has been spreading in Europe for
several decades; but the question arises
whether the undeniable statistical facts
justify the alarmist statements and pro-
tests which have gone forth from time to
time. Are the nations involved and the
world at large threatened with dire
consequences from the failure of certain
classes to replenish the earth with sue
cessors of their own kind?
Discussions of this sort are primarily
of interest to the socioogist rather than
to the physician But they can be elm
mated only with difficulty from the more
distinctly b!ologic aspects of the talk
about race decay. The scientist must
take position toward this question. and
the physician ia, particular is often ex
pected to contribute an Illuminating
opinion on such topics. Shall he cham
pion the cause of those whose motto is
increase and multip.y," or snail he
pause to examine the ideals of the mod
ern study Of eugenics which embraces
those agencies by which the human race
may be improved?
In the past the efforts to elevate man
kid were largely foscered by various
types of social reform which aimed to
improve the conditions of life, to per-
feet our environment. The future calls
for a program which will be directed to-
ward the very source of life. Our gen.
GRAFTON carries heavy and complicated
social burdens which are inflicted on it
in the form of an increasing dependent
class typifed in the feeble minded. 1t is
to be expected that this load can be
raised by some movement to control life.
This is work for the social hygiene of
the future
Regarding the proposed pan of re-
quiring certificates of health before mar
riage, Tho Journal of the American
Medical IS cation" says that while it
is easy to pick out few extreme cases
of degenerates on the one hand and of

people on the other, no one Is AT present

Carnegie Fund Manager Thinks
Hawaii Not Part of the

Evidently, back in Pittsburgh some
people haven't heard of the annexa-

FORMED feat of remarkable bravery
are not considered by the Carnegie
fund manager as being in the United
STATES.
On Sept. % of this year DR.. James
risked his life by leaping overheard
from the high decks of the Pacific
Mail liner Korea and rescuing a
Japanese woman who had attempted
to commit suicide by jumping into the
sea. Il was noted achievement and
DIR. James's bravery was rewarded by
a letter of commendation from the
head of the q. s. public health ser.
vice In Washington.
The passengers on the Korea, at
the suggestion of Harrison A. Bisp-
ham, commander, u. s. N, made a
full report of the rescue to the Car
negie hero fund commission, with an
application for a medal for DIR. James.
II was pointed out that besides the
difficulty of the rescue, Or. : James.

he knew are infested with sharks.

ton contained in resolution 74S, pro-

In speaking OF the yetoes Mr.. Fern
said this morning, that he believes it
still necessary to keep down the ex-
penses of the board despite the re-
funding Of the $3S,000 charged against
he county by the Territorial auditor,
and that his action had that object
in view.
Tne resolution number 747, provides
for the spending of $500 for bridge

At Waimea, and Fern admitted that
his work is necessary. Indeed was
among the first to point out it's neces-
