Deafness Can Not Re Cured

by local applications. as they can not reach the
diseased portion Of the car. There is only one
way TO cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

famed condition OF the mucous lining of the

you have rumDling tound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when 1t is entirely closed. deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its norman
cnidition. hearing will be destroyed forever;

EUROPEAN WAR NO. SIXTEEN.

A thousand millions spent for war
Planned forty years ago
Five million day TO rGermany
Ire war is costing now
More glorious shal larise
Than this world has ever seen,
Below the sun of skies
Fifty German women
In the trencres dressed like men.
We're taken prisoners fighting
For the Kaiser and then
Some thousands more in England
Are drilling too with guns
And Germany may have to meet
These British amazons
They're raising regular army n
With officers of skill
Without commissions either
To comand the daily drill
IRE titled and the servants
<hiA toiihko tooNthCA vi Ia
And when women get excited
They'll surely shoot to kill.
The British ships bombord Ostend
And forts of the Dardonells
Tht Shiek proclaims holy war
But the Turks are afraid of shells
While the Russians and the Germans
Along the Pilica river
In forty-eight mile battle line
Are fighting mad as ever
In tire great struggle of the Dutch
To make their country free
Mondragon marched three housand
men
On he bottom of the sea
Ten miles in fifteen seventy two
Five hours at eb bof tide
The waves waist high and Fergos
Was saved so Motley said
At the ancient seige of Ostend
Clara. ISABELLE of Spain
Fought her well beloved
The Archduke of Austroa's reign
She touched off forty Founders
To cheer her army on
Her reart and soul were in it
Till the victory was won.
And the city was graveyard
Of one hundred thousand men
Two years she wore her undershirt
Vowed not to change again
Till the city had been taken
And the color changed they say
Is the Isabelle color
OF the fashion Of the day
The English Duran cathedral
Two hundred feet or more
In front, and length five hundred
And mighty towtrs that soar
Two fourteen up tot Heaven
The German guns may smash,
From the sea in case battleship
Should make sudden dash.
With trenches all round London
Troops twenty miles around
For any German army
1t will be dangerous ground
TO make grand invasion
Against their hated foe II

Rivers of blood will foe.

COST AND EFFECTS
OF THE WAR
The cost Of war outlasts its oldest

The cost of war outlasts its oldes
pensioner.
A pension expires with the pension
er. but the war fixes a taint in tn
blood of people that works havo
beyond that of its most persisten
fighter.
The man too weak for war remain
at home and perpetuates his kind
The warrior, untitled by wounds an,
disease longer to fight, returns to as
sist the man who escaped conscrip
tion through weakness, and these tw'
march treir disabilities adown th
winding ways of time.
And thus does the nation that con
quers lose no less than does the on
that was overcome.
| Only one party is victorious in war
and that is Lucifer and bis allies
Woe, Want, Poverty, Hate, Fear, Dis
ease and Death.
Today the strength of a nation doe:
not turn on its ability to fight, bu
on is power to render a service tt
| other nations. Nations that fight are
killing their own productive power
1t is productive skill that counts
not destructive ability.
The army of the modern state is q
medieval appendenda vermiformis. II
is the most costly and futile item in
the government "overread," and the
most dangerous thing to national
health.
Nations today are interdependent
Each one fulfills certain economic
purpose. Permanent prosperity for
all nations turns on permanent peace
Our solitude is for the happiness
and prosperity of the individual, moi
for the ambition of the so-called rul-
ers.
Cream, production, distribution, in
dustry economy, health, happiness
these are the things which will re-
deem the world from sorrow and
war.
The world vision beholds the folly
and the futility of war.
Today we have generated a world
spirit, and it only remains to give
this world-spirit a voice through an
international selor and conciliator.
This confederation should not en-
deayor to correct the wrongs of the
world, save by calling attention to
them. 1t will thus allow eoch nation,
without humiliation, to corerct it's
own faults.
No nation now can afford to slight
a worldwide public sentiment. All
nations want the good will of all 9TH
er nations, simply because the pros
perity of the people demands ami
cable trade relations.
To make war on country destroys
that mucr of your market. To injure
another is to harm yourself And
the nation that works the undoing
of another is making the first move
toward its own dissolution.
The nation that sins shall surely
die.
We are ruled by public sentiment.
And, as no individual can succeed in
an enterprise with public sentiment
against him, so no nation can hope
to achieve success and 'prosperity
unless it is moving inn accordance
with the best ideas of the best people
of all other nations.

MAKING SHELLS

The Works Work :Practnally
any factory that has a lathe
can turn out shells. As America
has more such factories than an,
other country. we can turn out
more ammunition. All kinds of
shops are now manufacturing g
shrapnel shells. A list of subcOn-
tracts let by the Canadian Car
and Foundry Company in the
United States illustrates this
point Manufacturers of hardwar
automobiles. recording and com.
putting machines. drop forgings,
locomotives, farm implements,
bicycles, scr, ws. steel ears. and
dozen other products are now
turning their energies to pro-
ducing shells. I'm Canada furni-
ture factories are making ann
mnnitiOn: there is even ease
of manufactures of undertake
trs' supplies who-most appOpri
ately. it woupd seem-is turning
out lead buillets for shIapnel.
Up to- the present time our fac
tories have spent most of their
time on shrapnel. The large
orders for this ammunition plac-
ed in Canada and the United Stat
es evidently represented a.
great mistake made by the Brit
ish Government. Probably not
es much will find its way to
France: it will 60 to Russia.
where shrapnel, in the open field
