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
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

WESTERN cANADA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS, COAL
AND FARM LANDS.

The developments that have taken
place recently In the oil and gas fields
OF Western Canada have but added
another to the many previous evil
dences that have been produced,
showing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for SO many
generations.
The latest reports from the OIL
fields at Calgary show that there is q
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. 1t is said that
one OF the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour II this is so
there are but about dozen wells in
the world OF greater production. Dur
Ing the past week discoveries of sur.
face indications have been made which
SHOW that oil exists over a consider.
able portion of Alberta and Saskatche.
wan. while in Manitoba there have al
SO been showings. At Battleford,
Saskatchewan, a few days ago discov.
cries were made which led to the fl
Ing for leases on twenty thousand
acres of land, all having strong sur
face indications. Companies were
formed to carry on immediate work.
and in couple of months, or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists in paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and the natural gas deposits that are
helping to make of Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions of the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches it is no wonder that a
continued range of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. EARLY reports of
seeding of al grains being successful
ly completed all over the country are
followed by reports of excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week In June most of the
wheat had reached growth of from
twelve to twenty inches, with the most
even appearance, almost universally.
that has been seen for years. Oats
appeared equally we'll, and covered the
ground in a way that brought the
broadcast kind of grin to overspread
the farmers countenance.
Barley a favorite with the hog rails
ers, had taken good root. and was
crowding oats for first place, as to
length of shoot. Cultivated fodder
grasses are getting great attention,
as consequence of the inclination to
go more largely into mixed farming,
and the raising of hogs, cattle and
horses. The weather is reported fine,
just what is needed. and if present
favorable conditions continue the
grain crop of Western Canada for 1914
will be the largest average i'm the his
tory of the try.-Advertisement

FAMOUS OLD MEXICAN CITY
si9htseers Look Upon Militia as One Of
the Chief Points Of Interest.
In the Country.

Among the many ruined cities of
Mexico dating back to antiquity, is
Militia, of unusual interest to the sight
seer The name is a contraction or
corruption OF the Word Mictlan, mean
ing the place of death" The modern
village and the ancient ruins occupy
the center of an arid plain or valley,
surrounded on all sides by equally
arid hills, on the highest summit
OF which are the well-preserved re-
mains OF a great fortress, whose
walls are OF rough construc-
ton and without ornament of any
kind. Nearly in the center of the
plain five great groups of buildings
stand out completely exposed Many
of them are now nearly shapeless
mounds and masses of ruins. Two
treat groups, however, are in compar-
atlvsly perfect preservation, third
is incorporated with an old church.
aaC fourth, the great sacrificial
mound, is surmounted by the ruins of
very ancient church The principal
buildings are of stone masonry.
