DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions 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
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inf1amed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition. the
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

WAR KEEPS NATIONS
FROM CELEBRATION
Foreign BattIecraft Will Not At
tend Banner Anniversary at
Baltimore.

BALTIMORE. Aug. 1O.-Indications
are that the many battleships of the
European nations now engaged In war
fare, which were scheduled to attend
the Star-Spangled Banner celebration
to he held here next month. will not
be able to participate in the celebration.
A large contingent of prominent men
will come from Washington and other
cities. however, and the celebration Is
expected to suffer but little as a result
of the war.
Because of the critical condition In
the worlds affairs. and Congress being
in session in September, many Senators
and Congressman who are taking active
part in the nations legislation viii be
in Baltimore during the celebration.
Acceptance from these men TO attend
the great military ball to be given on
September II poured in upon the OFFICES
of the banner commission today.
Although warships from other nations
will not be here. one ship, the Cuba,
a Cuban cruiser, will certainly be at the
celebration. Secretary of the Navy
Daniels has promised that a repre-
sentative of every class Of ships In the
United States navy will be in Balti-
more waters for exhibition purposes.

OF HORSES To
Be PUT UP BY WAR
European Powers Must Soon
Import Animals for Use of
Their Armies.

One of the effects of the European
war. It is believed by agricultural ex-
perts here. will be felt on the horse
and mule market Prices for these
animals are expected to rise materially
because Of the war
Though the age for spectacular
charges Of cavalry has passed. never
theless the cavalry of all armies is a
valuable and important adjunct. More
over, horses and mules are needed for
other than cavalry purposes. SUE, as
the artillery, transport, pack trains, and
the like. To some extent the automo-
bile and the motor vehicle are service
able with armies for purposes of trans
port. but the horse and the army mule
are indispensable.
Must Import Horses.
The sanguinary character of the pres
ent war, though II is barely opened, has
been indicated BY the fighting about
Liege. If the reports are true, whole
bodies, even regiments. Of mounted
troops have been well-nigh wiped out in
single clash of the forces. This
means that the drain on animals, as
well as men, is going to be something
enormous. In fact, it looks as IL Eu-
fore many weeks. or her armies will
have to get along with a sad scarcity Of
animals.
Unless the reports from the region
about Liege concerning the destruction
OF mounted troops are much exaggerat-
ed, it may be expected that the charge
OF mounted forces in this war will
quickly be abandoned as something
worse than useless. II Is clear that this
must be so in the presence of artillery
and large bodies of well-armed infantry
However. there will be plenty of use
for cavalry apart from their use in en-
gagements. They will continue to be
valuable for raiding, for scouting, and
such similar purposes. for which they
developed their highest efficiency in the
American civil war.
Such service, quite apart from the use
70 which cavalry was apparently put at
Liege, tells heavily on horses. This is
shown by the enormous toll of horses
on both sides in the civil war
Problem For Germans.
The question of horses will be diff
hcult enough ~ England and France,
even If they keep control Of the sea.
For Germany and Austria, Il they are
not in control Of it. it will be still more
serious. Unless the Germany army
can make big inroads on French and
Russian territory, 1t is not easy to see
how her troops can be equipped with
sufficient horses for q long war How
ever, the German theory OF the mill
tary art has reposed its main reliance
on the infantry. The German COM
