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 all
inflameG condition OF the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound OF 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 itG normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One r:undred Dollars

WORLD ATHLETICS RECORDS

James Thorpe, Sensational Winner in
Amateur Events, Admits That He
Had Played Professional Ball, Dis

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-James
Thorpe. who returned from Stockholm
the acknowledged hero of the Olympic
games. has admitted that the laurels
ShoWered on him as an amateur athlete
We're undeServed and that the charges
that he had played professional baseball
were true.
In the history of amateur athletics
there is no case to parallel the rise to
fame Of the Sac and Fox Indian ana

ranks Of the professionals. His pun

trophies won by him az an amateur and

lctic ability at the Olympic games-thc
panlathlon and dccathlOn. For his VIC
tories in these events he was sought
out by the king of Sweden and congraI-
ulated by him as the best athlete the
world had. produced.
On his return to This country he was
thc chief figure in the welcome given to
the victorious American team. He
passed the winter at the Carlisle school
and was preparing for the coming cam

paper That he had been member Of a

INA There was a furry in athletic cir
cleS and half hearted denial before
the facts came rolling in from all sides.
Hopes that some great mistake had
been made Were dashed to the ground
when Glen Warner. coach Of the Car

with him a signed statement from Mr..
Thorpe in which he admitted ne had
played bail as charged with the Rocky

Travelled by Avalanche

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. ga wild
ride on an avalanche in Southern Cali
fOrnia was the rare as we'll as terrify-
son, government forest ranger, met in
CleghOrn canyon. in the San Bcrnar-
dino mountains.
Johnson believes he narrowly eS-
capped death. He was painfully injured
and was hurried to this city after his
rescue by Percy Day, government land
examiner, who was with Johnson on
an inspection trip. but who escaped
the slide. Johnson is suffering from
severe bruises. wrenched back and
burned hands. caused by the friction
in his effort to check his fall.
Johnson had diSmountcd from his
horse as he scented danger on a mar
row trail. As he stepped on the crust
Which had formed over the SHOW the
entire pack gave way. He had pres
frcc of mind IL release The bride of
his horse. which was saved.
In an instant Johnson was whirled
down the precipitous side of the can
l0n; The tirmncss Of the crust, which
held him up. probably saved His life
as he otherwise would have sunk in
the, snow and been ground on the
rocks.
In his efforts to stop his descent
Johnson was badly burned on hi,
hands. The friction blislcred the flesh.
The avalanche struck big pine
tree near The bottom of the canyon
and the shock threw johnson for many
feet. He was partially buried and was
rescued by Day and hurried to this
city in an automobile secured from a
"anchcr farther down the mountain.

Were the cliff dwellers then race of

of these dwellings has always been the
small size OF the dOorwayS. These are

At the meeting of the city trustees
last evening definite action was taken
on the question Of securing a combined

Fire Commissioner Egerer, City Engi-
neer Burk and Fire Chief lumber were
appointed to draft specifications for the
truck, which is expected to cost be-

be built especially to meet the needs

As it is now, by the time the fire
boys haul the hand truck to fire. they
are too much exhausted to do their

trustees look upon it as good economy
to equip the department for the i'm
