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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian 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 betak~
en- 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

PORTRAIT OF GEARGE M.
CONAN, PAINTED BY HARRISON
FISHER, AT FRIARS' FROLIC
(By United Press Association.

New York, May 27.-Perhaps the
most amazing thing about the Friars
Club Frolic, which begins here tomor-
row to mark the completion of the
new clubhouse, is the fact that in the
performance at the New Amsterdam
theatre is a portrait of Abbot George
NJ. Cohan, painted by Friar Harrison
Fisher. The anlazement comes when
you consider the fact that Fisher
could get Cohan to sit still long e.
nough to be painted. After it's per-
Torrance here tomorrow the Frolic
will go to Atlantic City, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, CO.
lumbus, Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Louis
Detroit, Buffalo, Rochester, Boston,
and Providence. A band of sixty mu-
sicians will be carried in addition to
the half hundred celebrated stars who
will appear.

LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE
TO MEET-"NOT MOLLY
GOODIES" THEY SAY
(By United Press Association.)


Washington, May 25.-"We are not
mollycoddles" Delegates to the first
annual convention of the National
League to Enforce Peace didn't say
that in so many words when they
gathered here today for the opening
session under former President Will
liam Howard Taft, but that was the
idea they wanted to convey. eve be-
lieve," said Herbert S. Houston, Presi-
dent of The Associated Advertising
Clubs Of the World and a prominent
member of the League, that per-
manent international peace is a bust
ness proposition that has to be or
gained and pushed through by men
with red blood in their veins just as
any thing else that is worth while has
to be handled.
Permanent peace means a great
deal to the business interest ofthe
world and they are behind this organi-
cation heart, soul and body.
"There is nothing visionary about
the plans of this League. There are
no dreamers in it. Look at the lists
and [ think you will agree that they
contain the names of big men who do
big things in big way"
Two of the principal speakers at
the convention will be Secretary of
War Newton D. Baker and Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood.
The arrival during the last few days
of more than two thousand delegates
{, from every section of the country is
regarded as significant of the attitude
toward peace among political, CONNER
cial, socil. religious, and educational
interests in the United States.
States and cities have sent repre-
sentatives, as have chambers of COM
merce, boards of trade, universities
and colleges, labor organizations,
oranges and churches.
The committee. pointed out that the
convention is not a mere pacifst ga
thering. The convention was called
at this time, it was said, as a definite
move to obtain political action on the
part ofthe United States, in favor of
the idea Of league of nations to be
formed at the close ofthe present war
in Europe.
According to the Leagues program
of proposals adopted when it was or
gained in independence Hall last
June, the powers to be invited to join
a league of nations, are expected to
pledge the use oftheir joint armed
and economic forces against any sig
natory power which shall refuse to
submit dispute to a court of arbi-
tration or council of consultation, be-
fore beginning hostilities or declaring
war.
