Deafness Cannot be Cured.

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 condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
rumbIingsoundo or imperfect hearing, and
when il is entirely closed. deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored 10 its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infancy

about $50 larvae of Lampyris norti-
cula, and when a thunderstorm came
one evening-when the ages of the
tiny creatures ranged from two days
to six weeks-he noted the effects
For an hour, while there was much
thunder and lightning, the tumblers
constantly showed points of green
light, from three or four to ten OF
twelve flashes being visible at a time,
though each lasted only a second o.

Washington, Sejt. 12.-Representa-

attacking the dissolution of the Union
Pacific-Southern Pacific merger, told
Attorney General McReynolds, it was
stated at the department of justice to-
day, that his resolution was prepared
by Henry B. Martin and Herman
Schulties of the so-called antitrust
league. In the senate lobby inquiry
recently, Martin was accused of hay-
ing presented to Representative Stan

drawn by David Lamar
Officials of the department today de-
clared Kindel expressed the belief
that the resolution contained many in
and that he asked Mr.. Nc

said, in his Judgment, the
proper thing for Kindel to do was to
withdraw the resolution with public
announcement that he had been mis-
led. Kindel said he would consider
the best course to follow.
Officials declared Kindel sought the
interview with the attorney general.
President Wilson few days ago told
Kindel he should have consulted the
general before introducing
the resolution.

stock which continued through the
forenoon. There was nothing in the
days news to stimulate the market,

buying kept pace with the improve
ment in stocks, and the market began
to answer to a renewal of operations
by large spectators.
Outlook for a large wheat yield was
responsible for the demand for the
western stocks. Coppers joined in The

The bull market got under full
headway late in the afternoon and
the demand for stocks became more
varied Union Pacific added another
point to its gain, touching 1914, and
Southern Pacific advanced 2 points.
The market closed steady. Realiz-

rise was carried still further in the
last hour with considerable strength
in gilt-edged industrial stocks. All OF

CANCER INCREASING
IN UNITED STATES
PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION
HEARS STARTLING STATE
MENT TODAY

Colorado Springs, Col, Sept, 12,-
The annual convention Of the Ameri-
can Public Health association, which
has been in session here since Tues
day, closed this afternoon with a
general session at which DR.. F. L.
Hoffman of the Prudential Life In
surance company Of New York, de-
livered an address on "The Mortality
from Cancer in the United States and
Foreign countries" The convention
closed one day earlier than it had
planned, but the work was advanced
to allow tomorrow for uninterrupted
sight seeing.
In addition to the address by DR..
Hoffman, a number of other papers
of importance were read and consid-
cradle unfinished business was trans
acted,
1T Is evident that the American
people are increasingly liable to can
cerous affections" said DR.. Hoffman.
He was not able to account for this,
but he found ray Of hope in the
fact that compared with other coun-
tries the cancer deathrate is not ex-
cessiye. 1t has, however, increased
from 69.5 per 100000 population aver
age for the five years ending with
1905, to TAB during 1911.
even though the cause, or causes,
of cancer were discovered, 1t would,
no doubt require many years before
some knowledge. could be successfully
applied in deliberate campaign to
reduce the cancer deathrate. For the
time being public attention is required
to be directed to the supreme i'm
oortance Of early diagnosis on the one
land and the earliest possible oper-
ltive treatment on the other. This
should be applied to many
orms of internal cancers, which are
fatal unless the patient |
ubmits to an early and radical sur
5ical treatment
I'm appreciation OF the seriousness

ion to the health of the nation, a

GOODS
1T DEMONSTRATES THAT 1T is
CLEAN AND CLASSY AND

The small boy awoke early this
morning and peeped on. of the WIN
dow to see If the elephants were
coming" For the small boy has been
thinking for many days Of September
70. when the AL G. Barnes three ring
circus was to come to town.
When the IA flat cars, groaning
with baggage, animals and the me
nagerie," reached the Santa Fe depot
the circus lovers whooped with de-
light for they realized that it is a 4big
show, indeed"
The eight coaches, including the
private car Of Mr.. Barnes. were at the
station when daylight broke With
MIR. Barnes came the animal trainers
and the daring equestians and eques
triennes.
Putting Circus Together
The work of putting the circus TO-
gether is always fascinating, no mat
ter how often one has seen the great
job performed Old and young turned
out on the vacant lot on the end Of
Sixth street.
The raising of the tents, the prep
arations for dinner, the improvised
kitchen and the arrival of wagon after
wagon, presented an amazing chain
Of events which fascinated because Of
the wonderful system and efficiency
required to put up and take down a
great show between sun up and moon
up
The small boy gazed with awe at
the immense horses as they were led
to water-a tin trough connected with
what looked like a fire hose, furnish
ing the thirst quencher. And then the
small boy smiled at the little bits of
ponies" as they passed by, with a
still smaller colt or two nitched by.
Every horse was working pulling
something. There was zebra, whose
stripes reminded one of Joliet and ne
seemed to be ornamental. The four
elephants with a few wisps Of straw
still sticking to their backs, also
seemed to be taking life easy though
they walked with their old time preci-
sion Of step and were a little suspi-
cious Of the crossing. It is said the
elephant is one Of the most intelligent
Of animals and will never cross a
bridge until he has figured out math
ematioally whether the structure will
hold him.
