Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness. and that is by a constitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result. Unless the inflam-
nation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by ca
tarrh, which is An inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure acts through the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Cure. Circulars free. All Drug
gists, 75c.

Jim Britton is Dead!

This throws pail over the COM
munity: it shocks the city. A good
citizen, an efficient employe, a loyal
friend, a loving husband and father,
has fallen!
He enjoyed the respect and conf
dence of every official and employe
of the city administration.
Out of respect to his family and
his memory, all departments of the
city, except such as are absolutely
necessary to the public safety, will
be closed during the funeral services.

duced a striking series of lllu3tra-
tions of the untoward results which
follow the dominance of . siren of
the stage over the better nature uf
a man with a lovely life and infant
child. Hilda Spong, who has supple
mented her English reputation by
achieving success on the stage in this
country, has given of her BEST dra-
matte art in the portrayal Of the
deserted and wronged, and later err
ing. wife. who, after unjust suffering,
makes a mistake, and after a series
of thrilling episodes and striking dra-
matte incidents, is recOnciled to the
son, who has grown to manhood since
his father eloped with dancer, and
learned the circumstances under
which he has been sent through col
lege. The son wins the girl with
whom he has been in love ever since
childhood, the husband and the man
who wronged the deserted wife have
paid the penalty of their evil doing,
and in spite of the apparent impos-
sibility of Strengthening out the va
rious ENGAGEMENTS, the ending is one
of peace and happiness.

The reception of the German offers
of peace has been about what was ex-
pected on the part of the entente allies.
There is an assumption of victory
which makes impossible any discussion
of such terms. Nor are the allies likely
to be deceived by pleas of moderation
and desire to end the losses and suffer
ing. With the loss of 10000 men in
November, Germany would doubtless
like to end the war But its terms are
entirely beyond reason. Germany must
try again and it is to be hoped that no
neutral will press for a result which
would force the world to fight this wal
all over again in few years, or permit
Germany to make peace now and then
