Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There
is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that ID by q constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous iiuing Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube IL
inf1amed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when 1t il entirely
closed, Deafness Is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh. which IL
an indamed condition of the mucous sur
faces Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn.

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Restore Color, Gloss
and Attractiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, BY
asking at any drug store for t'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will
get large bottle of this famous old
recipe, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, for about SO cents.
Don't stay gray! Try. it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.
q Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire dark hair and youthful ap-
pearance. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention Of disease.

or fuel may be produced or mined. The
purpose Of this authority is to enable the
President to break monopolies in neces-
saries, to prevent unreasonable enhance
ment in prices, and to eliminate injurious
speculation. Power also is given to the
President to regulate and, if need be-,
to close exchanges which deal in neces-
saries in order to eliminate evil prac-
tices. The purposes are to prevent in
furious speculation, market manipula-
ton, undue enhancement or fuctuation.
Of prices, and unfair or misleading market
quotations.
May Guarantee Prices
If it becomes essential to- stimulate
the production Of nesessaries within the
United States, a garanteed price may be
fixed by the President which domestic
producers, who act in reliance upon the
guaranty, will be entitled to receive.
The bill contains an an5idumping clause,
in order to prevent flooding of the Ameri-
can market with excessive importations
which might defeat the practical opera
ton Of the guaranty. If essential duty,
the amount Of which will be ascertained
by the President, is levied on such i'm
portations. In case of extreme emer-
gency, in order to break corners or to
prevent extortion, the President. NAV
ascertain and prescribe the hirhest nrica
at which it is reasonable to deal in any
particular necessaries. If such price
be fixed, it will thereafter be unlawful
for anybody, except one dealing with pro
ducts of land cultivated by him to sell
at higher price. The President also
is authorized to limit, regulate, or pro
hibit the use Of foodst,ffs in the produc-
ton of alcohol or of alcoholic or nonalco-
hoLic beverages, or to require reduction
in the alcoholic content Ct any bevage.

Clears Distribution Channels.
The second bill, known as the food
control bill, aims to facilitate and clear
the channels of distribution, prevent
boarding, assure fair prices, restrain in
furious speculation, prohibit evil prac-
tices on exchanges, protect the public
against corners and extortion, and re-
duce waste. It deals with the neces-
saries Of life, including foods, feeds, shoes,
clothing, fuel, and articles required for
their production. It is strictly war
emergency measure. It confers, for the
duration Of the war, wide powers upon
the President in the directions indicated
to be exercised only after he was found
that a state Of affairs warranting action
exists. 1t is specifically stated that the
legislation arises from war emergency
and is essential to the successful carry
ing on of the war. All the powers in
cluded in the bill doubtless will be exer-
cised through an emergency agency
which the President is authorized by the
bill to create.
License Any Business
Authority is given to license and regu-
late any business of manufacture, stor-
age, and distribution Of foods, food ma
terials, or seeds, whenever the President
deems it essential to prevent inaconomi-
cal manufacture or negotiable distribu-
ton. Licensees also may be required to
put boarded stocks on the market and
to refrain from unfair practices and
prices. The general purposes of such con-
troll of business in war time are to pro
mote efficiency and economy in the
manufacture and distribution of foods,
food materials, and seeds, and to eli
inmate abuses. >s."
The President is authorized, in order
to prevent spoilage, to direct the dispo-

saries by purchase or otherwise, to store
them, and to dispose of them at cost, and
also to requisition and operate any fac
tory, mine, or other plant in which food

interval of five or six months. All this
work, it is contemplated, can be done
for 100000 to 100000.
Secretary May Procure Seed
The bill also authorizes the Secretary
of Agriculture, in case of special need in
restricted areas, to purchase, grow, OF
otherwise procure seeds for the produc-
ton of food or feed crops; to store them
and to furnish them to farmers on credit
or other terms at cost, Power also is
given to requisition seeds and to fix
reasonable price to be paid for them
by the Government, such price to be
subject to review by the courts. These
new powers are required by the De
partment of Agriculture to meet special
emergency needs that may arise an &C
count of adverse conditions, such as
storms, plant diseases, or insect injury,
in order that production may be main
tanned at high level, It is also neces-
sary to protect the seed reserve from use
or depletion for industrial or consump-
ton purposes. f..
Provision is made for the enlarge
ment of the cooperative agricultural
extension forces. It is proposed to
place at least one county agent in every
rural county Of the Nation and also
further to develop the extension work
for women. At present only about
1900 counties gu to 1850 rura! counties
are provided with county agents. The
remaining provisions of the bill have in
view the following Objects:
Stimulate Live Stock Production
1. To stimulate the production of
live stock; to promote the conservation
and utilization of meat, poultry, dairy,
and other animal products; and to make
larger attack upon animal diseases and
pasts,> such as hog cholera, conta yious
abortion, and the cattle tick, which ex-
act an annual toll of over $2o0,000,00o.
2. To extent the activities Of the de-

FOOD BILLS ARE
FULLY EXPLAINED
SECRETARY HOUSTON DISCUS
SES PRODUCTION AND CON-
troll MEASURES
MEANING OF PRICE-FIXING
PROVISION is GIVEN A HEAR

Secretary Of Agriculture D. F. Hous-
ton has issued a statement Of the food
control bills before Congress, which he
has sent to the press. Secretary Hous-
ton says:
Two bills have been under considera-
ton in Congress which provide for sys-
tematic development of our productive
forces and an adequate control OF
distribution and consumption, to the
end of conserving the foodstuffs provided
through the stimulation of agriculture.
Gives Administration Powers
The two bills, known as the food
production bill'' (H. R. 4188), and the
''food-control bill'' (H.< R. 4630), are
designed to place in the hands of the
administration emergency powers and
funds adequate to accomplish the neces-
sary ends. The production bill provides
for the extension of the normal activi-
ties Of the department with a view
further to stimulate the production and
to conserve the supply Of foolstufs.
The bill is framed as a war m easure. It
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
to make survey OF the food supply of
the Nation, in order to secure full and
accurate information regarding its
quantity, location, and ownership, as
we'll as knowledge of the instrum entali-
ties or agencies that own, control,
manufacture, and distribute food pro-
ducts. Authoritative inform alton as to
the supply of food available in the
United States always is Of the highest
Importance. It is imperative in the
existing mergency, when soaring prices
create unusual motives for manipu!a-
ton, speculation, and boarding. In
telligent Increase of production and
equitable distribution depend upon tn )r-
ough and reliable knowledge Of tao food
supply. This survey can be quickly
made. It will probably be followed by
monthly reports. II the war lasts, a
further survey may b. 1nlle after an

SLEEPY EYE TAKES SECOND
GAME FROM NEW ULM
Loose Playing by Locals Throws
Game Away. Hitting Poor.

Great was the disappointment mani
tested by the fans on Sunday afternoon
when the Sleepy Eye ball team met and
defeated the locals by score Of to 1.
The game was spoiled by many errors
and '.boners',, most Of which were pulled
off by the local players.
Sleepy Eye put kink into the playing
OF the New Ulm team in the first inning
when Hoffman, their first batter hit a
single, which passed between Guentner's
feet. He played center field and the
ball rolled so far that the batter got
home. Glotzbach, the next man, then
hit long fly, which was misjudged by
Backer and Glotzbach got three bases.
He was, however, caught on home, when
Dietz hit liner to Lindemann who threw
home. Dietz scored a few minutes later
on several errors.
New Ulm made attempts to even
things up but were able to get only, one
run in this inning. Bum, the second
batter, took Life on a boot by Hoffman,,
Estole second and got home on three
Dagger by schapekahm. From here on
until the sixth frame, neither team scored.
Ten ReiJter got lit off Huevelmann,
| (5chapekahm had retired from the box
in tie third and played short for the
rem aInder Of the game) and stole second.
The next two batters struck out but a
base on balls and an error by Bum,
which was followed by single scored
the first two runners. In the seventh
the visitors added one and in the eighth
three runs to their score, bringing their
total to eight.
All of the New Ulm players seemed to
be eff their mettle and lacked the
necessary punch, due perhaps to the
heat. Schapekahm after retiring from
4 the box played stellar game at short
and was the only man that did not make
an error In the seventh frame he made
a spectacular stop of Fischer's liner
and got his man on first. Berg Of Sleepy
Eye had the locals at his mercy, Schape-
kam's three Dagger being the only hit
gained off him.
Altho the boys are bit disheartened
by the criticism that is thrown their way
they are not entirely discouIa 5ed and
hope to show the people that they car
play ball.
