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 infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling 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 condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which Is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall s

SPRAYING ESSENTIAL TO SUC-
cESSFUL ORCHARDING TODAY.
8. B. SHAW,
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

After the trees have been pruned
and the brush taken away and burned
the orchard is in shape for spraying.
Notwithstanding all that has been
written of the necessity for spraying
or what has been told of the advantage
resulting from this operation, there
are many who still do not realize the
full Importance of such work. True,
there was time when it was not
necessary to spray for the production
of profitable crops, but conditions have
changed. The Introduction of certain
insects and diseases, the necessity for
a wider distribution of crops and the
ever increasing demands Of the trade
make it absolutely necessary for the
grower to spray if he expects to realize
anything whatever from his trees.
One Of the most persistent and
devastating troubles the orchardist of
today has to contend with is the San
Jose scale. This insect, protected by
a scale-ike covering, does its damage
by sucking the vitality and life from
the tree or plant. For this reason, the
ulCduS lOl COullOi DC Tue dppll-
cation of something that will kill by
contact. Concentrated lime-sulphur
and some oil preparations have proved
very effective for this purpose. They
must, however be applied during win
ter while the trees are in a dormant
condition. If applied in the summer,
the strength necessary for the control
of the scale would injure the fruit and
foliage. Scale must be killed If tress
are to be kept alive. Left alone, thu
insect soon wins out and there is moth
ing left but dead wood. Those who
expect to continue in the orchard bust
ness or who contemplate the planting
of new trees and have not fully made
up their minds to control at least this
one trouble had better reconsider and
get into some other business. IT. is
a waste of time, energy and money to
attempt to produce fruit under present
existing conditions without spraying

DR.. Samuel &. Chew.

The passing of such man as DIR.
Samuel C. Chew means much more than
a loss to his profession, says the Bal
timore Evening Sun. Considered mere
ly from the professional standpoint,
he was notable figure even in com
munity which is one of the great CEN
tres of medical science and which has
had the privilege of being associated
in the many famous medical names.
He inherited eminence and he added to
his inheritance. And in spite of the
competition of many contemporaries of
great skill and of many youthful and
distinguished rivals. he held his own in
the ranks of his profession with undi
minished prestige until he retired from
practice.
But DIR. Chew was something better
than mere expert. He was, first of
all, a man of deep religious convictions.
and he founded his life on them as on a
rock. And to the natural and general
medical tendency to put mercy before
profit he added in his practice the pc
culiar compassion, sympathy and ten
derness --of the Divine Physician of
souls There are thousands of persons
in Baltimore today who will mourn in
DIR. Chew the loss of a friend who has
healed their wounds and spirits as we'll
as their bodies.
With a refinement and delicacy not
always found among doctors, he COM
bined a breadth of culture and literary
attainments rarely possessed even by
persons of complete leisure. Like DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes and DR.. S. Weir
Mitchell, he proved that a love of and
an acquaintance with letters is not in
compatible with a medical career. He
was well-rounded and we'll balanced
man in every sense of the term, strong
but tender and compassionate, master
of his science, who did not submerge
all the graces Of life in narrow pro-
fessionalism. A doctor and gentleman
of what we call the old school, in short,
meaning thereby character and a
career of mingled power and charm.

have been filled. 1t is possible
that the efforts of the bureau are
net yet exhausted, and that other
positions are open. The import
ant fact is that a clearing house
has been found for this sort of
employment. The government
may thus partially afford a So
luton of the farm labor problem,
which has veXed the agricul-
turists Of this country for many
seasons. With the cities con-
gested with idle men at such dull
times as these and with the farm
ers clamoring for efficient help
there is an evident lack of bal
ance in the economic situation
1t may be true that labor will
not move into the country save
under stress, but possibly in
many cases the indisposition on
the part of the city worker to go
afeld is due to lack of informa-
ton and lack of guarantee of
good treatment. The govern
ment cannot, of course, stand
sponsor for the employers or
guardian for the workers, but it
can at least insure the accuracy
of statements regarding condl-
tons. Every man moved from
town to farm represents gain
toward the solution of the labor
problem and the excellent work
which the Department of Labor
has been doing in this respect
encourages the belief that even
better results may be obtained
hereafter.

On second thought, am not SO sure
though that / do want to see poultry
raisers make so much, but l am not
thinking so much about Over-w orking
the hen, as l am wondering where the
poor fellow who doesn't raise chickens
would get the money to pay for his
breakfast eggs. Furthermore, l don't
believe the industry would live long. 1t
would just naturally kill itself off, for
the consumer would soon find sub
stitute or go without, and how could
you pay the help, buy the feed, build
the house, rent the land, buy the incu-
bators and brooders and the one hun
dred and one other things necessary,
II you could not sell your product? l
don't believe a Maryland reader would
take any stock in the statements in
question, but few words of comment
may not be out of place.
The poultry business is not unlike
other businesses in regard to profits.
Some make more and some less, de-
training. A shrewd dealer, man that
understood advertising and one expert
enced in business methods might make
a pretty good thing out of breeding
stock and Matching eggs, but l am
pretty well convinced that one ought to
be satisfied with from one to two dol
lars net profit under ordinary condi-
tons don't believe in batting people
into the poultry business with big
sounding talk, only to have a large
number of them disappointed with I'M
expected smaller returns and forever
afterwards being bitter enemies to the
industry as a whole. The right man.
on the right place, with the right
equipment, raising the right breed.
feeding the right feed, and marketing
in the right manner will be well re-
paid for his efforts, and by the way,
the right place is usually right on the
farm.

BOSTON WINS MONDAY
AND TUESDAY GAMES

BOSTON, Oct, 1l.-Grover Cleve-
land Alexander lost the toughest game
of his career this afternoon before
the biggest crowd that ever witnessed
a professional ball game in the Unit
ed States.
Boston beat out the big Philadel-
phia star in a desperate ninth inning
finish that sent 42,300 people into a
frenzy. 1t was game that had the
immense throng of spectators in a
high pitch Of excitement almost con-
tinually.
Alexander, called lucky, was throw
ing the lie into Boston's teeth by
moving down the Red Sox batters as
a scythe slips through the tall grass.
Leonard for Boston was going
equally as good, striking out the slug
gers of the Philadelphia team with
regularity.
Lewis was mobbed as he threw down
his bat after making the winning run
and Hooper was hugged as he eros
the plate. Thousands of Bostonians
clambored out of the grandstand and
crowded around the big Californian,
while his team mates fought des-
perately TO get at him. Manager
Carrigan threw his arms around Duff
iys EecA and almost sobbeG for joy.
Philadelphia should have had this

had not Moran wanted TO save his
big pitchers strength. In the third
inning when the Phillies scored their
run, Alexander might also have scored
from third but Moran waved him back
to save this strength and not to take
chance on Alexander putting him
self out in a slide to the plate. Leon
ard, however, tightened up and forced
Paskert to pop weakly to Barry and
Cravath TO fly to Lewis. They called
Alexander lucky for winning Fridays
game. If he was lucky then, Leon
ard was doubly SO today. Time and
again almost superhuman work by
Barry and Lomis saved Leonard.
BOSTON, Oct, 1.-THE third game
