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
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 its 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.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

AN INVESTIGATION
1t Has Been Ordered in Matter
of Burying Old Soldiers.
A. Randall of OSaWatOmie Hos.
pital Buried Like Pauper.

An investigation of the burial policy
of Osawatom1e undertakers as affect
ing the burial of old soldier inmates
OF the OsaWatomie hospital, is to be
conducted by Governor Hodges, ac-
cofdlng TO announcement made today.
The investigation was ordered on evil
dence showing that Alexander RAN
dali, an old soldier, was wrapped in
a sheet, placed in a worm eaten box
hauled through an alley and buried
Wltnout ceremony at a cost of $50 to
his estate.
Under the state law an old soldier
is entitled to a $50 funeral and that
1uneraI shall be just about the best
that the money will buy. Alexander
randall was an inmate of the Osawa-
tonne hospital and when he died a
few weeks ago, his body was sent to
Il: A. Chenoweth, a local undertaken.
The funeral which Chenoweth is said
TO nave given has aroused the old SOL
d1ers of the state and they have de-
manded an investigation.
According to information furnished
the governors office, RandalPs body
was seWed in a sheet. Then the body
was placed in a worm eaten box, which
was used as caSket. The local G. A
r. camp was not notified of the flu
neral and Chenoweth is said to have
hauled the body of the old soldier, in
wagon through an alley at the rear
OF his store and deposited the bodv in
maj ceremonies or funeral services
An investigation was held by the
OsaWatomie post and Chenoweth ad-
mltted taking the body of Randall
tnrough an alley in a wagon, but de-
MED the other charges. Then Ran
dall body was disinterred and it is
SAD that the charges against Cheno-
Weth were found to be true Now the
Old soldiers want the undertaken pun
1shed and his license revoked.
a letler was received at the governors
office today from James n. Miller of
Wichita, whe declares that he sent Cheno-
Weth check for $50 from RandaITs
estate Before the check returned to the
wichita bank, Miller learned of the pur-
ported facts and stopped payment on the
cneck Now Miller is asking that the
governor take a hand in the investiga-
ton.
Whether the travesty of a funeral which
characterized the burial of Randall has
been in active practice at Osawatomie or
other of the state institutions, is a matter
concerning which the state officials at this
time have no Information. However, an
investigation will be ordered at once by
the governor and it is probable that the
state Will probe not only the Randall
burial but those of number of other old
soldiers and persons who were buried at
state expense.

Up TO $4,000 NOW.
Seed Wheat Fund Report by Charles
NJ. Sawyer.

And still the seed wheat fund of
the Kansas Farmer Seed Wheat club
grows. Charles M. Sawyer, state
bank commissioner, stated today that
total of $4,000 has been raised
and that more than 10000 bushels of
wheat have been purchased. c. D.
Yetter is arranging today for the pur-
chase of another car of wheat to be
shipped to the farmers of western
Kansas.
The Standard Oil company has
taken an interest in the work of the
club and will possibly announce a
liberal donation within the next few
days. Twice as much wheat could
Kansas as has been shipped from To-
peka. However, the recipients of
wheat are thankful for the seed they
have received as shown by letters re-
ceived by Mr.. Yetter and Bank Com
missioner Sawyer.
One farmer has written from Oga1-
Iah, in Trego county: Il am SO glad
that you have taken so much inter-
est in getting seed wheat for the
western part of the state, but we
need at least three cars more at
Ogallah."
Bank Commissioner Sawyer, who
was in the northwestern portion of
the state Saturday, stated today that
the wheat already up is in excellent
condition and that unusually large
acreage is being sown in that section.
There is still time to help the farm
ers of the western counties.

THEY COULD ADJOURN
And That Was All the Commissioners

Jfanvthing serious happens to the mayor

the commission plan of government-lf 1t
happens to each of them at the same time
and is very long IN hapPenIng s-1d sc
rather the employees of the city may be
financially embarrassed, for city COM
nlfssiOnerS can not do any business unless
the MAYOR of the city, or the chairman
of the commission is present to preside
over the meetings of the commission Any
time these two officials OF any city wish
to stop the wheels of city government,
they can do so by merely absenting them
selves from the meetings of the com
mission.
At least this is the way City Attorney
RaIston has it figured out He says
the state law names the order OF sue
cession'' and specifies that either the
mayor the chairman of the commits
sion must preside at all meetings of the
commission. If they do not, there is not
any meetlng-not any legal meeting.
Neither is there any way of extending
the order of succession to include any
others than the mayor and chairman of
vice-chairman or things like that Things
just naturally stand still when Mayor
Cofran and Roy Bone, chairman of the
city commission, are absent at the same
time.

Small Apple an Outlaw
(Bv Hyman Cohen)

The extremely small apple has no
pIace in the market. 1t is an outcast,
and whenever it enters the trade is
much of an outlaw and thoroughly de-
moralizes conditions. 1t is just as
much of an outlaw as .the man who
holds another up and takes his money.
While the highwaymau takes your
money in-your sight, the small apple is
never worth the price, no matter who
it is.
The apple market is ending its sea-
son, and there.is one feature that is
most prominent in the minds of those
that that are in closest touch with the
situation. There is no place in the
trade for the smallest sizes. Beyond
the "A tier there is absolutely no need
to try to market an apple. Smaller
than Al tier the'apple msrket.will not
respond to a price that will be suffici-
emily high to enable the shipper and
producer to secure a profit.
The history of the apple market dur
ing the season was nothing but grief.
1t was grief to all that had anything
70 do with the market 1t was fully as
Improbable for the man who bought
or resold che apples as it was for the

AppIe Shippers Select Cleveland

Because it could not furnish the nee
essary accommodation at the required
time, Atlantic City has lost the com
ing convention of the international
Apple Shippers Association, and
Cleveland has secured the coveted
prize.
The convention will be held on Aug.
6, z and 8. The necessity of altering
the place of meeting from the New
Jersey seaside resort to Cleveland be-
came apparent to President Loomis
and Secretary Phillips when they Wis
tied Atlantic City several weeks ago
and canvassed the situation. The
change, however, was not decided on
until Friday, March 2l when the exec
utive committee met at the new Salter
hotel in Cleveland and voted unani-
mousIy in favor of Cleveland for the
next convention.

producer-athough up to this time the
latter has considered that he alone was
the man who was hurt by the ruinous
values that have been in effect all sea-
son. There was just one thing wrong
with the apple market during the sea-
son. 1t stands outspromlnently above
everything else in the trade. 1t can
be distinguished as the demoralizer of
the price and demand by anyone who is
willing to take look
The small apple stands convicted Of
the crime of running the trade of the
entire world during the season. There
were not too many apples produced. 1t
was not the big crop that caused a
general stagnation in the demand at
all leading worlds centers. 1t was
through no lack of the public's appre-
citation of the value of apples as a
food. 1t was the wee bit of an apple
that run five tier, or even more, to
the box that created havoc with the
trade generally. Any apple dealer will
tell you that the hardest job he ever
encountered was the selling of small
sized apples during the last season.
There is always a demand for good
sizes, but it is extremely a rare occur
renee when the public will buy small
sized fruit. The small apple is the
outlaw Of the trade, and is treated as
