FAVOR s5oo,ooo.ooo PLAN
Sweeping Highway Improvement
Measure Wins Senate Committee

Washington, July 20.-The most
sweeping proposal for highway bet
terment presented to Congress in re-
cent years was approved this morn
ing when the Senate Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads by a
vote of to 4 decided to report the
so-called Bourne plan. which involves
a possible issue Of s500,000.0OO in
Federal bonds TO raise funds for
loans to the States. The bill also
provides for an immediate Federal
appropriation OF . per cent of the
total amount as a maintenance fund.
What will initiate against the popu-
larity OF the measure is the fact that
twenty-one States would not be able
TO share in the Federal loans, as they
are forbidden by their own Constitu-
tons from issuing bonds for highway
Improvements.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot 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 inflamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caus- ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces,
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars, free.
