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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have q rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cam
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

American Review in replying quotes
from The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's news
paper, poem, ''Our President" from
which we give one verse, as follows:
'Imbued with Washington's ennobling aims.
And Jefferson's democracy
Which sees Gods image in the common man
And Franklin's wise simplicity,
He acts with Jackson's firm unbending will
One line in the first verse, "To whom
we give imperial power, contains more

FALLING HAIR OR
ITCHING SCALP

Now that Partisan Sage-an inexpensive
preparation that supplies every hair and scalp
need can be had from A. A. Howes & Co., it
is certainly needless to have thin. brittle,
matted, stringy or faded hair. No matter how
unsightly your hair, how badly it is falling, or
how much dandruff, Partisan Sage is all that is
needed. Every trace of dapdruff is removed
with one application the hair roots are nour-
ished and stimulated to grow new hair, itching
scalp and falling hair cease.
Partisan Sage is certainly one of the most
invigorating tonics, and will surely make your
hair soft, bundant and radiant with life and
beauty.

On another page We give report of
hearing at Augusta on bills for the ex-
emption Of taxes on sheep and all live
stock under three years of age, as prac
teal means Of aiding Maine farmers and
increasing the live stock of the State.
The Maine Farmer is opposed to this leg
islation. and says:
While the exemption of taxes on sheep
and all live stock under three years of
age may help few, and possibly adorn
our hills with more sheep than have ap-
peared there in the immediate past, the
loss of independence, the loss of the feel
ing that they are doing their part toward
supporting the good old State of Maine,
the lack of self-respect, which is always
occasioned by the scourge of paternal-
ism, will in our opinion more than offset
any material gain which might come to
our farmers.
The Journal holds no brief for the farm
ers and has had no opportunity for ascer-
tanning the views of our Waldo county
farmers on this question, but feels called
upon to dissent from the opinion above
expressed. This paper has in the past
advocated aid to local industries, and to
the shipping interests. end sees at this
time special reasons for aiding the farm
ers in way that will increase the live
stock of the State. With potatoes SELL
ing at Is to 30 cents bushel, following
a shortage in the sweet corn crop, and
with the Democratic tariff operating
against them, our farmers are experience
ing hard times and in consequence bust
ness in all lines suffers. We are sending
much money out of the State for meat
that could be produced at home, and an
increase of live stock would not only sup
ply future needs in this direction but add
to the fertility of the farms. We have
never found that the promoters of local
indust tries in asking for exemption from
taxes or cash bonus, or both, suffered
any loss of self-respect, and do not believe
that the proposed legislation would be
regarded in this light by those it is in
tended to aid

he was not authorized to so enter the
