Deafness cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the disease portion Of the ear -
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
inflamed you have a rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be ttken
out and th tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caus-
I'd by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhammed CO dition Of the mucous sur.
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness [eaused By

The Con " Commissioners on
on Thursday 81 las week signed the
levy Tor the year 1916 and fixed the
tax rate for the ensuing year at S1.15.
The levy will be published la'er
showing in detail the expenses in-
Cured during he past year. The
tax rate this scar j. an increase of 20
cents over that Of las year but over
thaC it was expected for which The
&, mmi. sinners are 10 he highl ,
commended. There have been so
many demands upon the county and
so many laws passed requiring new
or iocieased apl ropriations by the
last legislature that it was difficult to
m k even a guess at the rate until
tie Commissioners had all of the ac-
counts againsl the county before
them.
The usual expenses that nave to
be levied every year are aptroxi-
mately the same except the election
expenses are somewhat heavier owing
to the fact that tw, primary elections
were held since the last levy. The
increase in the ra.e is DIE to an in
creased appropriation of S65OO.0O
f. road purposes; an increase Of
$4,000 for general school purposes;
100000 fOi new schools, Zone at
i ,nediet and one as Mt. Victoria I;
S15O000 for new assessment, all of
which we're required by Acts of the
legislature The above makes up
practically all the new items aside
from tile general items that have 10
be leyie ever, year.
The levy for county purposes
shows that large amount of money
that is evied for offices is for pay
meut Of fees due the various officers
for the work. There was much agi-
tatiJn during the last campaign
against the fee system and promises
were made by both partes to abolish
all fees and pay The various c,sun:y
officers a stipulated salary. Not
withstanding the strong sentiment
il favor of abolishing the tee system
Of paying officers the legislature fai :
ell to pass any legislation looking TO
this end. We, believe that making
all offices salared will be a saving to
the tax payers of considerable money
aud lessen their burdens.
In view of the many demands
made upon the county our people
should feel deeply gr.tified and
hsl ny that the board of County
Comm ssioners is ma lie up of good
business Iaen who appreciate and
know the value of a dollar. They
have certainly done well for the
short time in office to keep the tax
rate as low as they have done and
we congratulate them and believe
they will be equally as we'll com
mended by the taxpayers of the
county.
