Catarah Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. a. they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cnrs catarrhal
deafness. and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrh Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition Of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed. Many cases Of deafness are
caused by catarrh. which is all intiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces. Halls
Cstarrh Cure acts thru the blood on the
mucous surfaces Of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrh Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

Learning Farm Management.

The requirement for successful
farm managers in the future will
be the ability of young men to
operate machinery rather than their
physical strength to handle hand
implements. There was time
when strong men able to use the
hoe, the ak and the grub hoe were
in great demand as farm hands.
Today the farm hand who can use
machines and the latest improved
farm implements are wanted.
But successful farm managers are
few. There are still plenty OF farm
hands, though they are not as easl-
ly hired as formerly. But young
men with the ability necessary to
manage the farm are very hard to
find.
The time will come, doubtless,
when land will be so high that 1T
will take young men without CAPT.
tai many years to pay for a home.
This is true now in some localities.
But it does not seem that the time
will ever come when good farm
managers will not have great OPP
portunities. Those who are COM
petent to manage farms will have
far greater opportunities to earn
enough to pay for farms of their
own than many employed IN cities
and towns.
The boys and young men on
farms should have every opportu-
nifty to learn some OF the details OF
farm management as well as farm
work. Whether they live on farms
, of their own or seek employment
on other farms they should kno"
now to manage the farm. - Texas

I, L,EWIS RIVER MAY PROVE. GOOD FOR
 HYDRAULIC MINING

ANCHORAGE-T. L. Young, who has been in charge of the Bernard interests on Lewis river, returned to Anchorage recently on the power launch Red Wing. MT. Young took complete drilling outfit into Lewis river last May and has thoroughly prospected the property they had under option for dredging possibili- ties. In speaking of his summers work, Mr. Young said that this ground was not wide enough for a dredge, but they found pretty good pay in the cross cuts and that in his opinion the river is a good propo- sition for hydraulic operations.
 He said they found pay on the Kellar claims in the old channel and that Sam Wagner and partners had quit the river and were now operat- ing on the benches with good re- suits. MT. Young said that Chittick and Armstrong's last cleanup was favorable and that these operators were well satisfied with their pros poets. MT. Young will leave shortly for the balance of his outfit and will return to Anchorage and wait for word from MT. Bernard in regard to future plans.

AMERICANS ARE DOING MUCH ID
 HELP STREAMS
Associated Press)

ATHENS, Nov. 24.-Miss Marcelle Reed, of La Grange, Oregon, who for two years has been caring for destitute Serbian orphans, has re ccived from King Peter of Serbia the order of the Milosrche in recog milton of her work For the past three months, during the absence Of Madame Dera D@ouitch, she acted as the head of the H. P Frothinghaln Institute, assisted by Miss Emily Simmons, of New York She finally broke down under the long strain, and has returned to the United States for rest.
 Mrs. Charles H. Farnam, of New York, has just inspected the Froth- ingham Institute on behalf of vari ous American relief organizations She has left Athens for Saloniki, where she will continue her work ot  studying the needs of the Serbian refugees and the civil population of Serbia, with a view to securing more unity in the American relief work
 Minister of Public Instruction Da yidoVitch, of Serbia expressed to an Associated press correspondent the hope that more coordination could be secured in the organization of American relief work to spare wasted effort and duplication.
 Tt is wonderful what the people of the United States have done and are doing to help distressed Ser bia," he said No one can have any idea how much it means to us. Without the help of the Americans so many Serbs would die that the Serbans people would be in dan ger of ceasing to exist.
 Most of all we shall need medi, cines and clothing. But after these the simplest and cheapest of food stuffs; wheat, corn meal, rice, beans and sugar are the essentials. Our people are peasants. They neither know the use nor have acquired the taste for more elaborate things to eat Last year they received a large quantity of green corn from the United States; but they did not know how to eat it or what to do with it, and this valuable shipment was wasted on that account.
 Tn the matter of clothing the simplest and warmest garments are best. In the early days of the war we received many boxes from Am erica and England in which kind ladies had packed low-necked, filmy ball gowns. If you could have seen the Serbian peasant women, who needed flannels, clutching, shining eyed, these gauzy creations of silk and chiffon, the like of which they had never dreamed existed!

.B|C REALTY DEAL
 IS C0NSUMAT TED

One of the largest real estate transactions ever consummated in Cordova has just been completed between Jack Dalton. of Cordova, and the Copper River & Northwest ern Railway company. Deeds have been filed for record conveying to the railway company all the proper ties and holdings of MT. Dalton at Cordova, consisting of three mining claims at what is called Three Tree Point, immediately adjoining the pres ent ocean dock. The claims are known as the Bear, Comet and Ju- neau Fraction lode claims, and re- gently were patented to MT. Dalton by the United States.
 In addition to the three mineral claims, MT. Dalton conveys to the railway company his mill. buildings. machinery. water system, residence, furniture-in short. all property. both real and personal. pass to the com pany. .
 The property involved in this transaction has been the source of litigation in the past. When the railway company began operations at Cordova the land embraced ill the three mining claims was covered by non-mineral entries. MT. Dalton also claimed the ground under his three mineral locations. A suit arose between the adverse claimants, which was appealed by both parties to the circuit court of appeals. While the litigation was pending on appeal the case was compromised by the par ties.
 As result of the present deal. the railway company becomes the owner of all the land near the dock. the three claims extending from near the oil tank to distance of about a thousand feet along the shore north of the Carlisle Packing Company's plant. It also acquires the hotel recently built by MT. Dal- ton south of the dock. and all the shore lands adjacent to the lands conveyed.
 It is understood that the Canoe Pass Packing company. which had begun the erection of plant south west of the present dock approach. will now erect a cannery just beyond the Cordova Power company's plant, a few miles north of the town.

 The Entente Allies cannot enter tain the idea of a peace which does not give them what they are fight ing for, the dissolution of the Ger man empire, at the present time. We have not modified our position in the least in that respect
 "The British are showing no signs of a peace weakness. On the con- trary, they are showing a determina- ton to continue the war to a satis factory finish.

WAR IS VERY COSTLY
 ID THE DUTCH
Associated Press)

THE HAGUE, Nov 24.-The first
 two years of the European war cost
 the Dutch treasury sl7S,4O0,0O0. ac- cording to figures issued by the ministry of finance. That amount includes the sum of $8,200,000 al ready raised by special war taxa tion. Deficits on the normal budg. cts constituted a further charge of s21.SOO,OO0 If things continue as at present, the national debt will have increased by s2S0,000,00O by the end of 1917, or by about half the entire figure at which it stood be- fore the war. The two war loans so far issued amounted together to s16O0O0,O00, the whole of which sum has long since disappeared. An other loan is already under discus sion, but the tax on war profits and special defense taxes or war levies will also in due course be a source of much strength. being estimated to bring in at least s60OOO,O0O and probably calculated to yield much more.
 To put the figures in another way, the war crisis, with the retention of an army of over a quarter of mil lion on war footing, has so far cost Holland nearly $S,000,000 a month. An expert economist esti mates that the further fS reaching measures which the government pro poses to take to inrure an adequate food supply for the people at mode rate prices will raise the present food expenditure to s4O.000,000 year If that proves to be thecase and as suming that the mobiized army is kept up to it's present strength, war crisis expenditure in coming montf will rise to s10,0O0,000 monthly.

The Uses of Knowledge.

In one of the southern prohibition states a physician had occasion to order some whiskey for patient. It so happened that the whiskey reached the express office on Sunday morning. The doctor sent for the package and the express agent re- turned the reply that the whiskey could not be delivered on Sunday. Thereupon the doctor sent word that the whiskey was for very sick patient and must be had at once. The agent sent reply that if the doctor would write a prescription for the whiskey he could get it. The doctor wrote upon his prescription blank: "Sic semper tyrannis," and the whiskey was promptly delivered
