Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is only by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chin Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound of imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in

restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out

The approaching municipal election
to he held October 3rd, gives promise
of being attended with more than or
binary interest. For the coveted Of
fee of Mayor, two very worthy gen.
tlemen have declared their candidacy,
viz: Hon. Martin Jacoby, present in
cumbent, and Mr.. ]. D. Fultz, the
election of either of whom will insure
safe administration. For Aldermen,
with three vacancies, the following
candidates have announced: Henry
Kaufman, Frank Lombardo, G. L. Clark
DR.. Noble and L. de Vries. As all are
good men, no matter who wins the
affairs of the town will be in good
hands.
A gloom was cast over our town on
Tuesday night when the unhappy
news was quietly whispered that our
life long resident, Mr.. E. Ii. Newell,
had crossed the Great Divide. Quietly
and gently he fell asleep, after months
and years of suffering, and his long
and useful life passed peacefully away
without struggle and without pain,
surrounded by those who loved him
and for whom he had devoted his
life. Mr.. Newell was always q good
man and citizen and lived an upright
and honorable life and enjoyed the
confidence of all who knew him. He
filed many places of honor and trust
and died loved and respected. His
remains were taken to Nstchez for in
terment and were followed to their
last resting place by his children and
many of our people. Peace to his
ashes! Out of respect to his memory
all business houses of Newellton were
closed at the hour of his funeral.

GOVERNMENT TO SEEK THE IDEAL
 MILITARY TRUCK
Campaigning in Rough Coun try May Result In
 Standardization.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Mlitary transport experts believe efforts to de- veIop an automobile truck capable Of meeting the needs of army campaign ing in rough country along the Texas border and in Mexico will cause the manufacture for commercial uses or an ideal truck within two or three years. The army transport board has been in session here during the past week considering the preparation or specifications for each type of truck required by the army upon which au- tomobile makers will be invited to bid.
 The board found that tests to which the army trucks were subjected on the border and in Mexico were the most severe that had been held in any part of the country. The conditions Of ser vice were quite abnormal yet the per formance of some of the trucks was remarkably good. Experts of the So- ciety of Automobile Engineers. acting on the suggestions of the board. now are on the Mexican border studying at first hand the unusual conditions of weather, sandy grit and alka1 ex- fsting with view to the still further improvement of the army truck.

SWALLOWS DIAMOND;
 LLOYDS HAS TO PAY

Chicago. Aug. 15-If ever Abraham Jacobson has appendicitis he will have his own opinion about what started it. He will say to the surgeon who removes his appendix: Handle 1t carefully, doctor, for there's three quarter carat diamond in that thing And after the doctor has recovered from his astonishment he will tell him the story.
 A dealer came in to buy stone, Jacobson was showing him a three quarter carat unset diamond. They faced each other across a desk. Ja- cobson picked up one of the dia- monds in front of him with a pair of tweezers and held it to his mouth to breathe on it and make it sparkle Tn his other hand he had handker- chief to polish it off.
 Then, just as he put the stone to his mouth-and opened his mouth there was sharp click. The dia- mond flew out of the tweezers and disappeared Jacobson Jumped and started to look around on the floor The dealer. however, had an idea what had happened.
 You swallowed it," he told Jacob son.
 'I couldn't" Jacobson said. Cor I'd have felt it." t
 You swallowed 1t. all right" the dealer insisted
 We'll. that's what happened. That's what must have happened. It wasn', found and the dealer thought 1t had flown into Jacobson's mouth. A three-quarter carat stone isn't large and can be swallowed easily. The loss was paid by Lloyd's.

MIR. HUGHEss OWN RECORD

with all of MT. Wilson's appointees, but they probably average better than Mr., Hughes's. They certainly produce better results in the way of public service. 1a
 We have no doubt that MT. Hughes would have been glad to name better men if he could have found them, just as we are certain that MT. Wilson would have been glad to name better men than some that he has appointed to office; but a Chief Executive must use the tools that are available. He cannot always have his own way. He is forced to take conditions as he finds them, not as he would like them to be.
 A President of the United States
 must work with Congress. He must work with his party. He must know when to sacrifice the small things in order to obtain the larger benefits to the country. If he undertakes ruth lessly to trample his party organiza- ton underfoot, he will end as MT. Hughes ended in New York, when the
 disgusted voters turned to Tammany. K The World has low opinion of
 some of. the deserving Democrats who have been put into office by Pres ident Wilson; yet we doubt if any of them have proved so wretchedly in- competent as MT. Hughes's highly re- spectable Public Service Commission
 which practically nullified the law
 so far as the people of this city were concerned. M
 It is just as easy for Mr. Hughes to
 magnify the small blunders of the Wilson Administration as it was for
 MT. Hearst to magnify the small
 blunders of the Hughes .Administra- ton. Yet no honest man would deny ] that MT. Hughes wrought a great
 good to the State of New York, and | if MT. Hughes were now less of a partisan and more of Judge he
 would frankly admit that President Wilson has proved himself one of the Igreat world leaders of democracy in modern history.-New York World.

NO EMPTY DINNER PAIL. ISSUE

trades and manufacturers of agricul- tural implements, machinery, auto mobiles, locomotives, steel railroad cars and tools of all descriptions, pro- vided the country remained prosper
 ous. Inflated prices do not help do-
 mestic business any more than do un-
 profitable prices. Fair prices are
 best for all though business men na-
 turally and properly sell in the best
 market. The point to be kept in sight is that declines from the high levels
 now prevailing should not, disturb con- fidence, but should lead to expan- sion.
 Every workman, every manufac- turer, farmer, every business man should accumulate cash surplus while wages and profits are phenom- inally high. When business Is read justed to changed. conditions those who have ready cash and good cred | 1t will find as rich opportunities as have been offered to them in the last eighteen months if they are ready to seize them. The future will look
 brighter the day after the November elections no matter which side wins After the war Is over we will have two or three years of good trade ir peace products including live stocks

 dutcs, while the restoration of Flu.

 What will follow after that will de. pend on the enterprise and ,foresighr of American business men and the
 use we make of the vast wealth we
 are now accumulating.-New Yorl Commercial.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-08-15

No better proof of the prosperity of the whole country can be given than the absence of talk about the empty dinner pail. The only work people out of employment are those on strike, and even the garment work CTS of New York could find plenty to do if they would turn to some thing else or go elsewhere. There is no lack of work. and lack of employ ment is due to labor troubles. Those who have felt the ammunition fac tories and powder mills find 1t easy to get other work.
 i In the midst of this election cam paign the unemployed would be ex- plotted as they were in previous pres ,idential years if there were any. All the terrors of coming ruin are b1a- zoned on the pages of partisan news papers but no photographs of women and children starving and homeless because the factories are closed are on exhibition. Never before in liv- ing memory has the full dinner pail failed to materialize as campaign
 cry. The pail is full to overflowine this year and is likely to remain SO. It is probable that prices of mer- chandise will decline when peace is restored in Europe. but lower prices will stimulate consumption and lower the cost of living. Labor costs will
 have to come down with manufacture ed goods but labor will be just as well off if the same necessaries of life can be bought for a day's pay. Common steel products now worth SAT to $50
 a ton can be produced at a profit for l $20 a ton less and a lower price
 would certainly help the building
