Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the disease portion Of the ear y
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is used by an inhamed con
dition of the mucous ming Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
iniiamed you have a rumbIing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and tn S tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
foleyeri nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
intiammed condition OF the mucous sur

A GRAVE SITUATION.

The Conditions 10 Mexico at the
present time present. grave situa-
lion and one that calls for great
deal u study and diplomacy on the
mart If the United States if we are
going to keep ont Of war with that
country aud at the same time bring
about peace and order in the govern
ment there.
Several weeks ago the clouds Of
war targ heavily over this country
and NJ. xieo. which after the passage
of several notes between President
Wilson and Carranzs, the head Of
the lie faelo governm' ut, have APP
pareatlv subsidized. The real pur-
pose of The Unitel States, however,
of bringing about peace and order in
Nj xico has Got yet been realized and
as FAR al the public KIN ,ws this con-
ditinn Of affairs in Mexico is as far
off as ever, The happenings OF the
last week brings to one strong BE-
lief that something emphatic and de-
termined on the part of the United
States must be done il our purpose
is to be accomplished. The present
yacillalipg policy will land US no
VIII re. The writing of notes will
not accomplish results unless the de
faeta government Goes something
practical along the lines laid down
by this government Whether Villa
the bandit chief is dead or alive no
one apparently knows, nevertheless
which ever may be the case his fol-
lowers are bent upon trouble and il
would seem that the sooner some
aggressive action is taken the sooner
will practical results be accomplished
The people generally of the United
States are not in favor of war hut il
there must he war hen the sooner ii
comes the better. We believe that
the grave situation demands more
forceful aud direet policy. Our soidi-
ers are now lined up along the Mex.
can border for what? What has
their being there brought about P
Has il bro lght ab mt peace and or
der IN Mexico? No. Has it brought
abont any determined action OIL the
part of Mexico to establish order
there? Apparently no. If not
what need is there II spending thous-
ands OF dollars in keeping men pa
trolling the borders of that country,
If the de facto government means
well and want order and peace es
tablished in Mexico and the Villa
band continue their depredations
and hostility towards us. then, ac
coiding TO our minds, there is but
one thing for the de facto govern
ment to do and that is allow this
country 10 i.ivade its province and
assist in running down and putting
to an end those bandits engaged in
causing turbulence and disorder.
While we believe this government
made a mistake in not recognizing
Heurta who in our judgment would
have brought about the very condi-
tons we are now, that time has pass
ed, seeking ia a yacilating way t.
bring b ou at. w mus !:
d e al wi h the present situation
which is indeed grave in a strong
and forceful way, without eompro-
mise or vacillation. Mexico needs
the strong hand applied to her affairs
and until this is done conditions will
remain unsettled and chaotic.
