There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imp :rfect
hearing and when it is entirely closed.
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an i1flamed condt-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

FREIGHT CONGESTION
 IS UNPARALLELED

NEW YORK. Nov 10.-Railroad of- hciais state that the freight conges- ton in Atlantic ports as a result of the scarcity oi ships to carry muni- lions Of war has no parallel in the his- tory of roads entering New York. All roads centering in Hoboken, Jersey City and Communipaw are building miles ol temporary tracks to store cars. It is feared the situation will become worse in November when many biz war orders reach the deiiy- cry stage. The suggestion is made that shipments be diverted to canad- Ian ports and that Britain send over some Of its fleet auxiliaries.
 AS another means of relieving the congestion of freight at export points railroads are considering cutting the length of time for storage. 45Oo cars of export freight are tied up on the Erie line and 10000 cars are tied up on the Pennsylvania and New York Central

 TAXATION OF
 WAR MUNITIONS
lBy GIBSON GARDNER. for the United Press Associalionl


 WASHINGTON. Nov. 1o.-Why not tax the profits on war munitions and kindred manufacturers?
 This Is a question which win be inc sistently asked during tho comiug ses- sion Of Congress. The taxation ques- fion must be settled even before the military preparedness program can be logically taken up. The failure of the income tax law Is due to its secrecy provisions and the fact that most Of the rich men of the United States have dodged it has made the revenue situation more acute.
 Nothing is more obvious than the logic Of the proposal to levy tax on the huge profits which are now ac- cruing from the manufacture Of war materials and the vast increase Of this industry is hinted at in a few figures available on exports from the United States to European beiligerents.

 WASHINGTON Nov 10 Prom sources usually reliable ] have 1t chat President Wilson has been approach ed by the German ambassador on the subject of mediation and discussion Of the terms of peace in ihe Europe an war but these efforts understand have produced no definite results
 The indications today are that peace suggestions will have to come from the allies before tho President would consider them That Germany would like to discuss terms Of peace is Indicated by many inspired newspa- per articles in which leadlug German Americans are quoted Some of these even name the terms on which O. peace discussion would be welcome and 1t is notable that these terms are less extravagant than those named 6 months ago. Belgium would be given up and only tho return of Q pnlt of the overseas colonies of Germany is ask ed. and except Cor an Indemnity from Great Britain which Is obviously condition put forward for trading pur poses the German terms are now a "cal it Quits' proposition
 Further conditions which | am post itlve would be acceptable to Ger many are that Che German boundaries would be resiofed except Alsace and Lorraine and Germany would profit by her extensions over Poland and her virtual control Of the Balkans and Turkey
 The President is sufficiently ln touch with the British and French to know that these terms are entirely unsatisfactory Go Che allies and that any enorls at med ialon by him at this time would be unwelcome. The alarm caused by the German drive into the Balkans has abatod and the allies are taking a calmer view of the outlook The grounds which they find for en- cOuragcmcnt are the reports rom German of new food restrictions m- posed by the government which lndi. cotes the allies contend. lercity of meats and fats These are attri- hnfod in part to tho unoXnectelly bad crops. except potatoes, and the tightening of the food embargo by the successful operation Of British in Che Baltic Sea The latter have been effective in cutting off a considerable supply Of fish and other provisions which have been finding their way to Germany from Sweden The main reason. however why the Germans would gladly quit now is found in the fact that a long drawn out war will measure resources of Che belligerent nations and in such a test Germany cannot match the tre- mendous resources marshalled against her.
