Catarrhal Deafness,

An answer to a correspondence query about

terminable series OF inquiries from other VIC
tins of that very popular trouble Perhaps an
explanation Is I'm order
What Is "catarrh" anvwavo T, 4 q d,soo,a
a symptom, a condition. something, in tho blood /?
No 1t Is nothing definite. "Catarrh" is q
meaningless word Probably n meant some

century and before but not now 1t is n ouacl<

body knows what anybody means when any,

s Cementing Friendship With Latin-Amcrica
s1N his efforts, SO far successful, to come to
" an amicable agreement with the Mexican
de facto government, President Wilson has
Sdone more than appears at first sight. Ger
EIainly, this country does not want war with
Mexico; this he seems to have averted.
Equally certainly, this country does not want
territorial expansion, particularly at the eX-
lpense of Mexico; this he has also made plain.
And in doing so, he has won tho good will
of responsible MeXicans
( But more than that, his course with regard
ito Mexico has cemented the friendly rela-
tions which his policy had already created
between this country and the Latin American
republics farther south To a large extent,
he had overcome their distrust Of this gov
.ernments intentions toward them. Now they
have been given final proof Of this country S
desire to deal fairly and unselfshly with all
