CATARRHAL DEAFNESS

/. IL 4>" CANNOT, BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catar-
rhal deafness, and that Is by a consti,
tutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness
is. caused by an inf1amed condition Of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless
the inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an in.
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.

THE BIGGER THEY COME, THE
 HARDER THEY FALL

It is but natural that the friends of a man about to fall furnish him with a soft spot,-that is, if they are friends. Furthermore, true friends will always put out a cushion for their hero to hit and have it there ready, waiting for him. That is what the friends of T R. have done. They have furnished him with a nice, cosy little upholstered place whereon he can land in the event he misses his third giant swing. And the soft spot is furnished in their many assertions 10 the effect that he does not want to be President again but that he is in- spired by patriotism to attack Wood- row Wilson, whom the Colonel be- iieves is letting the prestige of the ation go to the dogs. Bosh! Any man who is not too fearful of mental exercise in the way of thinking can see through the colonel's patriotism It has a string tied to it. Nothing would suit him better than third term in the White House, and, 1t he ever gets it, watch the fur fly. But there is not so much danger ln that direction. The probability is that the cushion will be needed. And the cushion should be very, very soft and fluffy; for it looks as if the Colonel is going to have very sharp and abrupt, if not a very dangerous and Lii faJ1 bo same rule applies here as is appli- cable in the prize ring. The bigger they come, the harder they fall.

when he inserted that little catch He saw a good chance for Bryan to de- pose Wilson. Merely that, and noth- ing more. Woodrow Wilson's per- sonal view of the matter, taken be- fore he ever sat in the White House, is that a President should resort to nothing but public opinion in decid- ing whether he should or should not seek a renomination. That is about the gist of the whole thing Public opinion in the end turns the trick. If the people want the man in the White House for second term they alone must decide. If they do not want him he has not d chance in the world of ever getting reelected It is up to the people.

Son of Swat's Courtship.
(Grantland Rice.)

(Grantland Rice.) They were seated in the parlor and the lights were burning dim; He was a diamond hero-she fan quite fair and trim. But they knew not as he opened up the game by murmuring 'Iove-" That father was the umpire on the stairway just above. q like your fOrn''-he led off first with me you've made a hit You've got the curVes-you've got the speed and you are looking fit Now-if with you my turtle dove, make a hit likewise. Won't you improve my single state and make a sacrifice?' "I'Il never play too far off base" he whispered in her ear My salary whip has got the stuff to put 'em over dear; Just give the signal for a 'steaP and I'll no longer roam, And when I slide into the plate, please
 call me safe at hOme."
 
 the maiden softly sighed: "Show me your batting average in MT
 Bradstreet's guide: It takes a lot of speed these days with
 cunning and intrigue, To win a battle now and then within
 grOcer's league" But give me errorless support''-his
 heart here took a bound And let me live in big league style
 and I may come around: Unwrap the tangle from the dope and
 you can cop the bet We'll play Q double-header, Pal, on
 any date you set.' He started warming up at once, and
 with a happy sigh He whipped a fast one round her
 neck, the other was waist high; But here the umpire butted in-she
 said. oh, father please, Don't call him out, he's showing me
 the way they work the
 'squeeze ''. The old man gave an irate snort and
 said. "I'll help the fun By showing him another play that's
 called the hit and run'!" He swung like Wagner at his best-a
 soul inspiring clout-- The son of swat slid down the steps
 the umpire yelled
 You're out"

The Three Styles.

(From the Newark Evening NeWS)
 MT. Bryan would have run away and left neutral rights abandoned, save as they might be recovered ny argument at the wars end. He would have avoided war by surrender. MT Roosevelt would have been forehand- ed, he says making the first lnVaSlon of our rights the subject of so Vlg orous a protest as to serve as Vlr- tual ultim atium that we would toler- ate no further invasion, whether in the guise of a reprisal by another belligerent or a second offense by the former.
 Mr. Wilson has adopted strictly the course of a lawyer, carefully weigh ing evidence of individual instances, forming the bases for later adjust ments, demanding statements of prln- cipIe and compliance with them, If necessary, in the form of reparation.
 Now every policy must needs have two roots, it's foreign fruitfulness and it's domestic acceptability. Both are in shifting ground, both must be con- and both have been under the in f1uence of bitter international edu- cation that war has forced on the American people. These are coming together to a new focus.
 1t is our opinion that President Wilson is now justified in his capa- city as leader in foreign affairs short of actual hosti1ities, in calling con- gress together and laying the case before it.

A Senseless Contention. (New Haven Register.)

Senator Works unfounded charge that our government Is in fact par ticipating in the war, because it per- mits the sale and shipment of muni- answered by Senator Lodge when he said that the placing of an embargo on arms at present would be worth more to Germany than million men, and would be a grossly unneutral &C., ton. One may hardly suspect the California senator of complicity in the pro-German plot, but it may farly be said that his contention is senseless.
 This whole question was threshed out in congress more than year ago, when a member with obviously Ger man relations and sympathies tried to accomplish the same thing. It has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of every fair mind that only by per- mitting the present process to go on prosecution of the war is a necessary thing-necessary to the welfare of the world. To that result the arms made in America must contribute. It is not for America, still less for the Amer ican congress, to seek to interrupt the result by urging an embargo. This is a truth which the majority of Am CT
 jeans, appreciate. A large part of the minority doubtless have selfish interest in the continuance of the process, but that. cannot be helped.

Pneumonia.
Bridgeport Farmer.)

Year in and year out pneumonia and tuberculosis race for supremacy in the business of removing man from his earthly activities. At this time of year the pace is almost always set by pneumonia. The disease is more common in Bridgeport than it has been in many years before.
 Those who would avoid pneumonia will look to the ventilation of their homes. There must be plenty of fresh air The air must not be too l ot, nor too dry. A fertile soil for the disease is created whenever the same air breathed over and over again, or when the air is good, but reduced to a more than tropical de- sert dryness. Keep the furnace sup piled with Water
 Intemperance in eating and drink ing must be avoided by those who would diminish pneumonia risk.

An Old Friend Gone.
Bridgeport PoSt.)

An old friend on the railroad is no more. In announcing that the Federal Express will be discontinued the New Haven railroad retires train that has had a long and honor- able service, even if it is asso ciated with memories of long waits because of fog and other things, to say noth- ing of one great tragedy.
 How often in other days, far back in the eighties have we and others waited at Stamford for the Wash as it was then called for short after leaving the great city on the theatre train," which in those days came no further than Stamford. At certain periods of the year you were lucky if you reached Bridgeport by four in the morning. Then too, they had the delightful habit of Accommodating" the walters by ordering everybody out Cf the station after announcing Washington train three hours late!" 1t was an interesting experience which old times will recall.
 Then the train was of use the other way, too, for late home corners from New Haven. Here again she was rarely on time. The trip over the Thames river on foggy nights was often dangerous and the cause of de- lays. You might figure on getting home around 2 o'clock, to tramp out mile or so, and not see a soul, not even "a cop" In that respect Bridgeport has not changed much. There are still no cars running and it is just as hard to find policeman

EVENTUALLY, BUT NOT NOW.

After what has seemed ages, news comes from Panama that an Amer ican steamer, the Newton, drawing twenty-seven feet of water, has made the journey through the canal, going all the way from the Atlantic to the Pacific without mishap. This is the first trip made by vessel since early last October, when the big slide oc- cured in the then CuIebra Cut. The ship that accomplished the trip had been waiting outside the canal for more than three months.
 In view of the fact that the Panama canal was so completely blocked as to leave little hope that a ship draw ing even ten feet of water would be able to pass through it before late Spring the news of this accomplish
 time. It is encouragement itself, although it by no means forecasts the end of all trouble. GailIard Cut, as the snake of Panama" is now called, Will have to undergo larger and more deeper dredging before really big ships can pass through the canal with any degree of safety. The channel must be made deeper, and deeper in
 the sense that further slides will not
 materially effect it, before all manner
 and kind of craft will be permitted
 to risk the journey. There is a. ter r1ble formation of earth in that par ticular quarter of the canal which will give engineers and geologists trouble
 for some time to come,-long after the Democratic administration has | taken it's bag and baggage out of
 Washington. Even though President Wilson has been blamed for the condt- | tion of the Panama canal the truth of l the matter is that the blockade is a | result of the pressure on either side fcrcing the bottom of the canal up-
 ward and this will be remedied only
 when enough earth has been removed
 to do away with this upheaving.
 1 Geologists looking over the situa- | ton in the Panama zone are Optimis-
 tic. These scientists say that the
 slides will be done away with even i tually. Business men who are i anxious to have the big ditch per ! manently opened to traffic must jit ! back in their swivel chairs and con- sole themselves with the thought l Eventually, but not now' Every l thing will be all right some day.

One Pair of Shoes for 200.
(Lexington (Ky.) Leader.)

bexington (Ky.) Leader.)
 A unique and interesting relic in the shape of a pair of homemade baby shoes, made back in the good old pioneer days, was presented to the Kentucky Historical Society at Frank fort by Col. c. E. Merrill, tho widely known former Confederate and re- tired journalist of this city The shoes were made by Col Mer1'ilPs great great-grandfathe and have bccn worn by three generations of the Merrill family-his great-grandfather, his grandfather and himself.
 These shoes have an interesting family history. Since the beginning of their career TAO years ago, in the lanyard of Andrew Merrill, who serv- ed with Gen. Washington in tho war of the Revolution until the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. the shoes have been placed on the feet of 200 babies of the Merrill family.
 They have travelled through seven States, and had been returned from Texas only a few days ago, when they were sent by Col Merrill to join the valuable collection of relics in the museum of the Historical Society at Frankfort.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 11-"Ka- miniets Podolsk, the city upon which the latest large-scaIe Russian offen- sive was based, that against the Aus o-German lines in eastern Galicia and Buckowina, was at one time the greatest fortress in the Kingdom of Poland, the stronghold that held back the wild hordes of Asia through many years of bat+le," says a war geography statement just given out by the National Geographic society. "The Tartars struck time after time against it's high, rocky bluff in vain and many sllirmishing parties ot Poles and Russians left the fortress to carry terror into the Steppe around the southern Dnieper.
 "The town lies but few miles from the Austrian frontier, and is built over a peninsula formed by the Smotritch river, an affluent of the Dniester. Odessa is 235 miles in the southeast, and Kief about an equal distance in the northeast. Kaminiets is the seat of administration of the

It is divided into two parts, one, the old town, spreading over the hill, while the other nestles around the base. Across the river, the ancient castle still frowns defiance upon the country, though it's war-Worn walls could of fer but little resistance before the power of modern guns.
 "Batu, the cruel leader of one of the waves of Mongol buCcaneering against Europe, laid Kaminiets waste in 1240. In the 18th and 18th cen turieS, storm after storm of Tartar, Turk and Moldavian invasion broke upon it's walls, and the principal in dustry of the people of this outpost became that of fighting and weapon forging. The adventuresome from all parts of Europe found their way into garrison there. and took part in the great drama, in which the East was finally turned back upon itself. The city passed to Russia in 1795."

Mother: Mother!
(NeW Haven Times-Leader.

(NeW Haven Tim meS-Leader.)
 A survivor of a terrible disaster at sea tells of an elderly man who was struggling in the water and who kept on calling out: I'M Mother! M Mother!'
 And from a base hospital in France comes the story of the recovery of a soldiers reason through hearing a popular song: Mother Machree."
 In the audience was a wounded sol Ciier whose mind was a blank. When the singer had finished he kept on re- beating the word 'mOther,' "m other" until suddenly his word unlatched the gate of his memory, and he became sane man.
 The case cited in the shipwreck story is explainable. The impressions of youth are extraordinarily perma- rent and at crucial moments we go back to the days when our call for "mother" was always answered.
 And who shall say that it was not the same faith in the subtle unex- plainable power of mother" to save, which restored the unfortunate sol dier's mind?
