The mothers pension board of
New York City has asked Mayor
Mitchell for an appropriation of a
million and a quarter dollars for
pensions for this kind of mothers

The mayor had an investigation
made of 100 pensioned families

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 ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can be
reduced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an in1amed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.

CONTRACTS TAKEN BY ELECTRIC
 BOAT co. OF NEW LONDON
For the Construction of Three Coast
 Defense Submarines.

Washington. Jan. 9.-Contracts for the construction of three coast de- fense submarines awarded to the Cali fornia Shipbuilding company Long Beach Calf. were cancelled by the navy department today at the com pany's request and promptly were taken over two by the Electric Boat company of New London Conn. and one by the Lake Torpedo Boat com pany, Bridgeport, Conn.
 Of the 27 coast defense submarines authorized by the last congress, this final apportionment gives twenty to the Electric and seven to the Lake company.
 The California concern originally bid for the construction of five or six of the submarines of the coast defense type, but the department decided not to award it more than three, that be- ing regarded as the capacity limit of the plant for completed work in the time specified. The contracts for these had not been signed when the request reached the department that the award be cancelled.
