village Of Vaux were objectives Of
the Germans, two attacks being made
on each, while the fifth was delivered

houch from protected roadway
southeast Of Faux village.
The recent heavy fighting has been
10 the northwest OF the fortress, and
only last night Paris reported massed
attacks by the Germans, who drove
at the French position at Dead Mans
Hill, only to be forced back eastward
toward the CorbeauX woods, suffering
heavy losses. Although lombard
ment has been continued in this re-
gion, the infantry attacks have not
been renewed.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, ard that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inilamed condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
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 it's normal con-
dition hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inliamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Woodrow Wilson as the leading man
and the hero, if l were considering it

Roosevelt would be slated for what
in the old theatrical days we called
the cutwood robber.'
'CUtwood' was a cloth drop rep
resenting a forest scene and it was
easily dropped down between two
stage trees. The robber was the fell
low who skUlked across in front of
this to staccato music. In our play

had asked him as a playwright to
put in form what he thought of the
political play now being staged be-
fore the American voter. The above
is his answer.
1t was, of course, given jocularly.
Then Thomas became serious. He
feels very keenly that the present
contest is of the greatest Importance
to the average American. To my
surprise, he told me that he had
worked as a youth as clerk in the
railroad yards in his home town of
St. Louis and at 10 had been master
workman of No. 9 Missouri Assembly
of the old Knights of Labor.
