Director Agricultural Extensic
Communicated.

Editor Register would like to say
few things 10 the readers OF your paper
in regard to the high cost of living, and
the sad, mercileSS way in which home
products have soared-not that it cost
more last year to raise them. How can
people conscientiouslY, then, run prices
up so high, or in other words withhold
from their neighbors and friends who are
not so fortunate as to have the necessities
OF life ? God in his goodness gave plen-
ty for each and all at reasonable price,
yet the love of getting rich and triumph
ing over neigbbor makes men willing 10
extort high prices. Here is man with
family OF children, with sickness and
death before him, yet the producer will
rejoice over taking this poor mans wages
for what he sells, having plenty for HIM
self but simply wanting to increase his
bank account. Here is woman whose
income is sufficient foT living with prices
moderate, yet if she cannot have suff-
cient TO pay, must take of her principal.
Is il right that il should be eXtorted from
her and conveyed 10 the bank account o
another, thereby making him richer and
greater and his neighbor poorer? This
is not Gods way, and Christians should
pause and think. And how they kick
against high charges for what they buy.
In Gods great Book you will find
where much prosperity "gives leanness
to the SOUL" also this /: "What shall it
profit man if he gain the whole world
and lose his own soul?" Alas, how can
he save his soul il he wantonly EFFORTS
from man or woman their all2 II is detri-
mental TO their souls, but they are drifting
exultingly on and will not be aware OF il
until they face their Maker in the great
eternity to which they, like us all, are
bound.
Beware, Christian friend Beware

Catarrh Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way 10 cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition OF the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when il
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored TO its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an inflamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Med
icine acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces OF the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

SENAToRGoRE announces that a meas
ure is being prepared by the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture which will be a
short cut TO prohibition as well as a most
beneficial war measure. II is a bill TO
place prohibitive tax upon all grains
used in The manufacture OF whiskey and
beer, and thus stop the tremendous waste
OF these natural food supplies. Temper
ance advocates have prepared statistics
showing that 6O0,0O0,OOO bushels of
wheat, besides some 100000 900 bushels
OF corn, barley and rye, are diverted into
the manufacture OF liquor each year, prac-
tically all OF which is an absolute loss so
tar as food is concerned. Besides this
awful annual waste, the charge is made
by George {. Shane, head OF the great
milling Interests OF the Milbourne flour
mills IN Minnesota, that the greedy and
unpatriotic distillers are right now buying
up vast quantities OF wheat and Withdraw
ing II from the markets and boarding it
Tor future profits. The inevitable effect
OF these heavy purchases is to force the
price OF flour higher, and thus place a
double burdenupon the poor.
There never has been time when
morality, patriotism and public policy
called as loudly for the abolition of the
Ubiquitous liquor business as at present.
