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 condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the EuSta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflaffed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result. and unless the in
fiammation 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 infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars Sor any case OF
Deafness (caused by that Rnot be cured by

Junk Dealers
 Do Big Business

Washington, June 24-Junk dealers during 1912 did an enormous business, the geological survey asserts in a statement issued, today.

 The surveys report does not set forth the quantity of old iron and steel re-melted neither does it include the precious metals The quantity of aluminium scrap returned to the sec ondary srneIters is increasing rapidly, says the survey, owing to the rise of the automobile and it adds the re- ports next year probably will include secondary aluminium.
 The total amount of secondary cop per was 137. 5O7 tons, assuming that the brass re-melted had an average copper content of 70 percent; secondary lead recovered amounted to 67,176 tons; sec ondary zinc amounted to 1,543 tons and secondary tin 15,4O1 tons-

JAPANESE WAR
 MINISTER OUT

Tokio, June 24.-The resignation from the ministry of war, yesterday, of Lieut. General Baron Yasutsuna Kikoshi appeared not to have been connected in any way with the Ja- panese-American negotiations over the California land ownership legislation. One explanation given, today, for the Generals step is that he was opposed to the reduction of the army credits and to the selection of cabinet minis ters from the reserve as well as to the limitation of the war minister's power in administrative matters. It is also said that he favored addition of two divisions to the army which for econo- mic reasons the Japanese cabinet wishes to postpone.
 Another explanation is that he in cured the displeasure of the army and was. forced to retire owing to his support of reform measures.

 DIVORCE DEGREE

 Luckless Benedicts

This man thought his days work was more important than his wife. Ii is incomprehensibIe to me. I am sor- ry to do it but in view of the evidence I must grant the decree.'' These were the remarks of Judge Greene in the superior court this morning after hearing the testimony of Rosteen Sel- leck of New Canaan who brought dl- vorce proceedings against Li1lie Sel- Ieck of parts unknown.
 The attitude of SeIIeck plainly an- noyed the court. He testified that one morning in January, 1910, his wife said she was going to leave him. He was in hurry to go to work so he didn't stop to ask her why or where. When Selleck returned at night the house was locked and Mrs. Se11eck was gone. Sel1eck admitted he made no great she gave no reason for going and he didn't ask any. The couple were mar ried January "A, 1901.
 Harry J. Griffith of this city was granted a. decree from Grace L. Grif- fl tn of Hartford. Desertion on Decem- Der 23, 1909, was the ground Griffith was working in New York at the time and his wife went away for a, visit. During her absence he lost his position and Mrs. Griffith refused to return. The couple were married Sept. 6, 1897. Mrs. Griffith's maiden name was Grace Dalton.
 Robert D. Edwards of, Easton was freed from Mary CeceIia Edwards of Long Hill The husband alleged mis- conduct with Charles Wheeler of Woodbury. Several witnesses testified that they saw Mrs. Edwards sitting on Whee1er's lap. The marriage took place October 26, 1907.
 Elizabeth Marie Orser of Danbury was granted decree from Frank Ors- CT of Danbury. Desertion in January, 1910, was the ground. The couple were married in October, 1909.
