president of Mexico in February,
1912, and have waged their war with

Victoriano Huerta took oath as pro-

10, 1913, the day after Francisco |.

Will Give Relns to Carranza.
The state department has been in
formed by Francisco Carbajal, sue
cessor to Gen Huerta as provisional
resident Of Mexico, that he intends to
retire in favor Of Gen, Carranza.
All that Senior Carbajal asks is the
proclamation of a general amnesty
and the assurance that protection will
be given to the property of those who
have been fighting the constitutional
lists. Jose Castelat, former member
of the Mexican senate, called at the
state department tonight to present
Henri Carbajals views which were
expressed in a general telegram re-
ceived through the Mexican embassy
which bore the date Of July / 3. Huer-
ia, he said, is on his way to Europe
with Banquet.
The state department both through
George Carothers at Saltillo and
Charles Douglas, legal adviser for
the constitutionalist agency in Wash,
ington, has sought to have Carranza
make clear what will be his course
now that Huerta has abdicated

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness. and that is by cons,itu- tional remedies. Deafness is caus- ed by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infame d you have a rumbling sound CT im- perfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

For the Needy and Deservino

T am destitute and my family have nothing to eat or wear We will appreciate anything you can do for us.
 This is the plea to which citizens of Springdale have listened several times. during the last few months.
 Sometimes it was made by those really in need, who deserved sympa- thy and help. Sometimes by those who make this line of work pro- fession and have become so practic sed in the art of begging that they can put up story calculated to touch the hardest heart.
 Under our present lack of system this latter class often receive what the former ought to have, and the deserving ones are turned away.
 Two families have been among us, who have carried off sufficient mon ey, food and clothing to have met every demand made upon us for the last twelve months. if the funds had been properly distributed
 We need committee to take charge of all these cases, to whom any one in need can be sent.
 Such a committee, if backed by the citizens of the town and the town, as a municipality, can take better care Of all these cases, on 5ne=third of our regular donations. than We are doing as it is
 In =the absence of such an organi- zation the w H. M Society of the NJ E Churel. South, have oreaniz ed themselves into a Charity and Help Society and propose to give the second Tuesday in each month.
 To visiting the sick, or those in need.
 To gather up money or cloth ing contributed for this purpose.
 If the business men would give them regular monthly donation they would send committee, each second Tuesday afternoon. 10 col leet= the money and the business men would not be bothered, every day, with pleas for help.
 Any one having clothing or shoes which they would like to go to some needy person can notify Mrs. J. W House, president; Miss Mable Berry, yice-president or \. L. Cline. pastor.
 \ list will be made of these and they will be collected, by the society, and laid away until needed.
 It is not the purpose of these lad ies to monopolize this work. Any time the city desires to take hold they are ready to step aside. They have undertaken it because the work is not being done and they are glad to do it for the sake of suffering humanity.
 Please do not expect too much of them unless you are willing to get back of them.
 But if you will help them I am sure they will do the work.
