by local application. as they cam
mt reach the diseased portion Of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by con-
.stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused from the inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine eases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol

ed by catarrh that cannot be cured

OIL RANGES ON SHIPS

In agreement with the navy de-
partmcnt policy of using oil instead
of coal, there have been installed
on the Pennsylvania and on battle
ship 80 oil ranges for cooling pur-
poses. In the matter of first cost
there is a saving by the rIse of oil
for cooking Of about $500 for
each ship and in operation the
economy is much more marked. The
question of the economy of opera
ton in the galley is quite import
ant. Thus the batch OF bread
alone baked each day for the crew
OF a modern dreadnaught calls for
the use Of about six barrels of
flour. The relative costs of cooking
by the different methods have been
found to be rs follows a day:
Electric range, S22 80; cual range,
SIS; oil range $685.. When, in adj
dition to the economy the cleanli-
s and absence of ashes is consid-
cred. the advantage Of cooking by
oil on a ship which burns oil only
in its main boilers is readily APP
parent.

MORE RUIN

Tha measure If our industrial
ruin under the Wilson administers
tion was given to and solemnly re
ceived by the Republican county
committee of New York Thursday
night when Congressman Hum
phrey of Washington said that bust
ess has decreased $40, 600, 900
every day of his regime, or the
trifle of about SO, O0O. OO0, OOO down
to June /. The particular cause
of it all is located by him and by
the Mail in a tariff which has Gin
creased imports $24, 938,4l3 and
cut down exports SIP, 466. 783."
At this rate the first full year of
the new tariff will show a reduction
of $236, 0O0, 900 in the foreign
trade balance from the year before.
AS the country's business by the
Humphrey figures was nearly
wiped out on June, l nothing will
obviously be left of it by October
], when the new tariff will have
finished a year of deadly work.
But in the fiscal year of 1902,
on a smaller volume Of trade under
the Dingley tariff, the trade bal
ance was cut down by over $780,
GOO 900, and we can all remember
how the country went to the dogs
as a necessary consequences.
The trade balance was cut down
by over 1915, 1000, OO0 in 1909 under
the same high tariff, and it is clear
from the Humphrey-Mail logic that
not a wheel was left turning
throughout the land.
The trade balance in the first year
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff was cut
down $l63, 000, 900 on a smaller
trade volume. and by the same
logic we can calculate a business
decline every day" Of that period
of almost if not quite $40, 000, 900.
There has evidently been nothing
worse for the country than this
Democratic tariff except the two
Republican tariffs which preceded
it. New York World.
