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 in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely clos led, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

The principal features of the new

the government, based upon notes and
bills representing commercial trans
actions and backed by gold reserve.
The new currency expected to con-

demands of trade.
Concentration of the bank reserves

the power to create a board to make
examination of such applicants and
the statute says the method must be
common and systematic and that il
must ascertain the comparative fitness
OF applicants, that is il must be COM
petitive.
The examination need not be scho-
lastic but they ought TO relate TO the
duties TO be performed. For instance,
for a policeman the examination is
largely physical and a mans strength,
agility and powers of endurance are
important factors. II he is to be a
bookkeeper he ought to know book
keeping, etc. etc.
The main purpose of these exami-
nations is not only to secure men who
are qualified but also to keep out mere
ly political appointments. Progressive
cities of this country have generally
adopted such civil service regulations.
They have them now even in Indiana
polls. Most of the commission cities,
nearly three hundred in number, IN
Guiding Des Moines. have civil service
rules and regulations.
On August s. 1910. the Bureau of
