DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the cal. There is only one wa y
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachlan Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result. and useless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearidg will be destroy

with property that comes from all
of the States To say that FEEDER
al inspection of WORK for which
the Federal Government pays a
portion of the cost is either un
warranted or unwise, is to say
that the Federal Government
should from year to year make
appropriations for specific pur
poses and yet take no steps what
ever to Ascertain whether the
money is applied to such pur-
poses
The contention that Federal aid
under self help, is not borne out by
experiences In the respective
States where an analogous plan
has been in effect for some years
between States and counties. In
1904 the total expenditure on pub
lib roads turnout the United States
amounted to $8p,000,OO0 In 1913
the total expenditure aggregated
about S2O6,O0O,000, and this in
spite of the fact State part'cipa
ton in road work has had its spirit
of greatest development since
1904, and that the total expendi-
ture of State funds up to and in
Guiding the year 1913 amounted to
about SI55.000,00O."

Federal Plan For
Highways Betterment
WILL DEAL WITH STATE
AS SMALLEST UNIT

In Federal roads legislation, it
is practical certainty that the
National GOveInme Mt will recog
nize the State as the smallest unit
with which it will deal. When
the Senate Postoffices and Post
Roads Committe reports the
measure which came to it from
the House, it is predicted that the
so-called roads rental clause will
be missing. and that whatever
money is appropriated after diviS
ion among the several States, will
be expended on the roads the
Governor and the secretary of
Agriculture may decide. Thru

citation has greatly CO cerned
itself with the highways question
approached from a national stand
point, and Chairman George {.
Dieh comments thusly on the
present situation:
THE basis of appor'ionment of
Federal appropriations to the re-
spective States is a matter upon
which there is very little disagree
ment, and it is probable that popu
lation, area. and post road mileage
will he the factors finally adopted
for determining the proportion of
Federal money 10 which each
State will be entitled.
Finally our solons will probab-
" begin the program of Federal
aid with a modest appropriation,
Probably not toexceed S., 100000.
This sum. together with an equal
amount to be provided by the
States, will involve an expendi-
ture of 100000 during the
first years operation To start
with a modest appropriation and
increase it as conditions warrant
would be to insure the Success of
the policy from the outset.
"The question which has threat
ened to become the rock upon
which the Federal aid good road
forces would split is that of Fed
eral inspection There are legis-
lators who stand aghast at the
possibility of another great Feder-
al bureau growing to such pro-
portions as TO cast its shadow up
on local anatomy. They profess
to see the crumbling of States

and endeavor, and the growth of a
political machile. Ii Federal in.
spection involved these conse
auenees, it would be dangerous
and highly undesirable policy.
AS a matter of fact. Federal in
spection, under reasonable legisla-
tive restriction, involves no men,
ace whatever to local liberties.
"The weight of precedent, and
the common sense of Congress
are sufficiently powerful to make
certain the inclusion in any !
Federal-aid bill that may be psss-
ed of an adequate amount OF
