GREAT rs THE KAISER

mighty At his word move ar

At his nod the guns of warships send
their thunder rolling across the deep.
When he clenches his mailed fist, all
Europe gets ready for trouble.
Now one would suppose that when
the kaiser wants more money with
which to run the empire as it ought to
be run, he brusquely says: "Produce,"
and it is produced. But not always so.
Wilhelm knows a thing or two besides
military and naval tactics and how
to bluff an adversary off the map. Wit
ness this, from a recent cable dispatch:
The German empire has suggested
that every beautiful woman in the en-
pire shall be taxed forty-ive cents a
year,
How delightfully."- simple and easy!
And, how strange that the shrewd and
practical Yankee nation hasn't thought
of this plan long ago. No need of tax
assessors and collectors here. No pro-
tests against unreasonable taxation.
The only Inconvenience the govern
ment would have would be to provide
enough clerks to take the money from
the onrushing crowds of women. The
only note of discord in the entire pro-
ceedings would come from the woman
who was not notified of the levying of
the tax. We are compelled to admit

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.

1t was Elmer Stricklett who in

ball, but Jack Chesbro was the
first spit ball king.
1t was at Hot Springs, Ark,

of the damp delivery, and Ches-
