Wooden Shoes Made
In the United States

In this country beech is the favorite
material for wooden shoes, the manu-
tacture Of which has reached consid-
erable proportions in the United States
according TO the department Of agri-
culture. which has just issued a bull
letin on the use OF the wood. These
shoes, the department says, cost from
SO TO IS cents a pair and are good for
two years. They are worn by those
who have to work in cold or wet
places, such as tanneries, breweries,
and livery stables, and by workmen in
steel mills and glass factories who
must walk on hot CRATES or floors
Farmers. too, are classed among the
users.
Beechwood is put to very wider
range OF uses than the average person
would be likely TO suspect. The de-
partment says beech enters into hun
dreds OF articles from hobby horse
rockers to butchers blocks We walk
on beech floors, eat of beech picnic
plates, carry beech baskets. play with
beech tops, sit on beech chairs. and in
dozens OF other ways use articles
made OF beech almost every day OF our
lives. Its freedom from taste fits the
wood especially for articles which
come in contact with foodstuffs. and
beech meat boards. skewers. lard tubs,
butter boxes, sugar hogsheads, refrig-
orators, dishes. spoons and scoops are
widely used.
Only one species Of beech grows nat
urally in the United States. but few
trees in this country have a wider
commercial range, 1t extends from
the Gulf o. NeTio0 into eastern Can

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
flaned condition Of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachjan Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
1t Is entirely clos ed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation 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 Catarrb. which is
nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces
