DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an unframed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rnmbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an inf1amed condition of the mu- cous surfaces, t1 -r-st -..,-

thing springs into being that fills 1ongfelt want
Already it has made its appearance in this city
And it's coming has portent for one of the
great industries of Philadelphia
"Jitney" originally was slang for a fve-cent
piece.
On a day not very many weeks ago. a man
appeared in the streets Of Western city with an
automobile and a sign it, announcing that he
would take people wherever they wanted to 60
within the business district for five cents jitney
He soon filled his and by the end Of the day. his
pockets. His success was so immediate and so
public that it is small wonder that within a few
days there were in that ctya dozen itney chaufeurs
BY the strange telepathy of the idea leaped
to other cities. In four weeks San Francisco had
1900 jtneys-chiefy secondhand automobiles. Los
Angeles has 1000, Seattle, Portland Salt Lake City,
Kansas City, ST. Louis, Fort Worth, Chicago and
many other cities have them by scores and hun
dreds. In half a dozen Eastern cities they
beginning to appear.
The gasoline and tire companies are supporting
the idea, city governments drafting traffic
regulations, franchises and licenses the trac-
ton interests seriously considering how they
can best meet the situation.
The iitney is here-the inevitable result of the
combination of two things-the growing discomfort
of travelling in crowded street cars and the drop in
the cost of the automobile.
The iitney as five-cent public utility is here
to stay. Whether it will stay in its present form IS
! a question. At present, any automobile may be
iitney Some just touring cars have special
round bodies and look like great wash-tubs Some
are converted trucks and some are the familiar auto
bus.
Herein lies the opportunity for Philadelphia.
The iitney should logically develop to the point
where it is carrying not merely five or seven pas
sengers but as many be carried This
means the automobile bus
A representative of one of the largest auto
mobile factories in the country has already made
the prediction that "the tney will soon disappear
