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 catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inaamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
" closed, deafness is the result. Unless
the inflammation can be reduced and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an intlamed condition of the
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
acts thru the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can.
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

THE VERMONTER IN MIDDLE
BURY.

DOINl'
The current number of the YER
monter, the illustrated State magazine
published by Mr. Charles R. Cummings,
ontains an interesting article on the
ideals of Middlebury. The author is
Clarence E. Blake, a graduate of Mid
dlebury College in the class of 1873
The article is profusely illustrated,
some of the pictures from the recent
illustrated bulletin of the college being
used. On the cover of the magazine is
mountain view from the Battell
forests. Mr.. Blake quotes extensively
from the college bulletins and sets
forth the aims and purposes of the
college. This is perhaps summarized
in the following paragraph
Perhaps enough has been said to
illustrate our point; To send a lot of
educated men and women, with their
elevating ideals, throughout the State,
to retake lost places, to raise standards
both of productive skill and the aim of
life, will tell more for the well-being of
the nation than to turn them loose
with the usual American ideals for sue
cess in wealth and fame. "

GODDARD RECESS EXTENDED.
School Will Not Reopen Until Feb.
Because of Scarlet Fever

| Notwithstanding the expectation that
scarcely 10 days would elapse after the
closing of school on account OF scarlet
fever before sessions could be resumed
again, it was announced to-day that God
dard seminary will not be reopened un-
til Feb. s, instead of Feb. !, as was
originally planned when the students
were sent home at the request of the
state board of health. The four students
who came down with the malady at the
seminary are making progress toward re-
eovery, but word had reached the school
authorities that no fewer than four stu
dents who went home have shown posi-
tive symptoms of the disease.
Yesterday Health Officer Dr. j. W.
Stewart, Prin. O. X Hollister and Dr.
J. II. Woodruff, who is attending the pa
tients at the seminary, met in conference
with the result that it was decided to
postpone the reopening of the school.
Students were notified to that effect to-
day In justifying the action of the
state board of health in sending TO their
homes students who undoubtedly had
been exposed while in school, it is stated
that the facilities at the seminary for
caring for any large number of students
are wholly inadequate. Furthermore, it
is said. the health officer in each town
and city where Goddard students reside
was notified of the conditions at the
seminary and urge to cooperate with
the state boar in keeping the epidemic
from growing.

FEDERAL COUNCIL
MET IMMEDIATELY

Met and Took Similar Ac-

Police Were Powerless

Berne, Switzerland, via Paris, Jan. 2S
An angry crowd in Lausanne, in the
canton of Vaud, tore down German
flag which was hoisted by the German
consul yesterday in honor of Emperor
Williams birthday, and the federal
council of Switzerland held an extra
ordinary session at which it was decided
to offer an apology to Germany for the
insult of the flag. Meetings of the state
council of Vaud and the Lausanne city
council also were held for a like pur-
pose.
Despite all the efforts of the police,
the flag was torn down in the course OF
a hostile demonstration by a large crowd.
As soon as news was received in Berne,
the federal council assembled and in
structed the officials to express to the
Berlin government deep regret for the
incident, 1t also sent orders to the po-
lice of Lausanne to prosecute the per-
sons responsible for the insult to the
flag, which is to be hoisted again and
adequately protected.

ICE JAMS CLEARED.
Three, Threatened But Prompt Action of
Street Department Starts Ice.

Danger from three ice jams, two in
Stevens branch and one in Jail branch
just before it joins the larger stream in
the south end, stirred the street depart
ment to activity to-day. Threatened in
undations near the Granite street plant
of Marr & Gordon and along the Smith
meadow prompted the street employees,
under the direction of Supt. j. c. Wilson,
to relieve the congestion by blasting a
huge jam near the Smith, Whitcomb &
Cook dam. Dynamite was used and six
blasts were discharged just before noon.
Afterward it was decided to dislodge in
the same way ice jams that had formed
near the Barre & Chelsea railroad trestle
off Ayers street and at the plant of
Charles Bianchi & Sons in the north end.
