DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

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 rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infama-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
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
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars. free.

ceived only 1.453 cars. Montana came
next with 807 cars and other states
follow with a comparatively small
number Of cars. However, the REQ.
ords for 1914 far surpass those of
1913 During the first three months
OF this year about $500 cars are reg.
tstered for Minnesota, q record which
far surpasses Canada and all the sur.
rounding states put together. These
settlers came prepared to equip and
develop our farm lands and have con.
tr1buted largely to our unprecedented
agricultural development. As a re-.
suit, the unusually large demand for
Minnesota lands has caused a great
increase in farm values and it is q
matter Of common knowledge that
practically all the agricultural lands
OF this state have increased in value
from fifty to one hundred per cent
within that time. The importance Of
this work to the people Of the state
cannot be over-estimated and it must
not be forgotten that the continuation
OF this policy is an issue in this cam.
paign. It is indeed to be regretted
that there are still those who do not
sn.reciats the importance Of publicity
as an essential factor in all agricuL

Transportation and Water Power.
The State of Minnesota possesses
an almost inexhaustible supply of wa.
ter resources for transportation and
water power purposes. In the han
ding of the bulky products of the farm.
it is essential that there should be
adequate transportation facilities with
reasonable rates so as to give to the
products Of the farm the best possible
access to the markets of the world. ]

value OF this method of cooperation
between the business men and the
farmers is inestimable. It has already
brought millions in value to the state
not only by improving the stock itself,
but by adding great values to the
farms. Thus the question Of rural
credits in this state has been at least

farmers.
Every county agricultural fair
should take advantage Of this method
Of cooperation. One or more carloads
of improved farm stock should be ppr.
chased and exhibited at every fair DO
that the farmers could make their BE-

a very large amount of improved stock
could be secured.
