Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is ca 2sed by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube Is in
tanned you have a rumhling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can betak-
en- out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

BOYS AND GIRLS CAMP AGAIN
4 BIG STATE FAIR FEATURE
Boys Band OF Fifty OF Belot VIII Be Assigned Entirely
to This Department-Over 10000 Children to Sing
'The Star Spaneled Banner" the Opening Day.
Sept TO-

Milwaukee, Aug 80. - Under dtrec-
ton Of Professor Thomas L. Bewick
OF University Of Wisconsin, who also
is Uncle Sans representative in this
work in Wisconsin, the Wisconsin
State Fair established an agricultural
Boys and Girls department in 1915,
and this department Is destined to be
one OF the strongest factors of the
great annual exposition
During 1918 and 1918 the Badger
State farm boys and girls showed great
interest In the competitions and dem
OnstratiOns of this department, and
their interest this year indicates a rec
ord showing.
Under direction OF W. Fl. Wones, 7.
N. c. A. state leader OF the boys work,
and the Y. W. G. a., the camp estab-
lished last year will be continued.
Boys and girls are taken care of here
during the entire week under ideal con-
ditions. They eat and sleep under can
vas and. In addition to the benefits they
receive from the work OF their depart
ment, enjoy a weeks outing.
Assigned to this department. will be
the famous Boys Band of Beloit of
fifty young musicians. This band will
head all Of the many parades of farm

every make Of tractor, Of which there
are over fifty, sold in Wisconsin, and
perhaps many makes not yet on sale
In this state.
Simply showing a tractor does not
suffice. so officials Of the State Fair
have obtained 1900 acres of land west
Of the Fair grounds for demonstrations
during the mornings of Fair week,
Sept. 10 to Is, inclusive.
This land lies along the Interurban
railway, and electric trains will leave
the main gates of the State Fair every
half hour up to noon carrying people
to the demonstrations. Pass out but
tons will be given to those who desire
to leave the Fair grounds for the dem
onstrattons and return at noon.
The demonstration lands lie between
West Allis and Calhoun, FIVE miles
apart Tractors for demonstration
purposes can be unloaded either at
Calhoun or West Allis.
No other State Fair In the United
States has taken up the tractor idea,
but many are planning to follow Wis
consin's example next year
Wisconsin Fair officials are striving
each year to make the State Fair
stronger Industrially as well as along
agricultural lines, and the tractor show
and demonstration is a result of this
policy.

Washington, D C.-Tentative plans
evolved at Mondays conference of
government officials and insurance
men provide for the issuance of in
surance in amounts from $1,000 to
$4,000 upon the lives on American
sailors and soldiers at ordinary pre-
MUM rates with the government pay
ing the excess charge because of the
extra risk of military service.
Family allowances to dependents
also are proposed, the amount to de-
pend upon the size of the family. In
addition indemnities would be given
for total or partial disability. The
tentative program provides that the
war risk insurance bureau have full
charge of administering the plan.

THESLACkER ACRE
By FL. W. DAVIS
I am the idle acre.

am the idle acre.
You will find me on every farm.
For long time no one has paid any
attention to me.
And I am getting tired of being
overlooked.
Besides, l hear that I am needed
BADLY.
They say that many folks a
cross the sea and in the cities will
go hungry unless each acre does his
bit.
And here l am, loafing.
The busy acres are sneering at me,
I can hear them whisper, Stacker"
They say l am not willing to do my
share.
But I am willing.
If somebody will take me and treat
me right, I will furnish.
Thirty bushels of wheat, or
Seventy-five bushels Of corn, or
Sixty tons of tomatoes, or
LOTS of other good things.
I'm not the Stacker.
It's the man who neglects me
He IS THE STACKER.

FAVORING
CAMP DOUGLAS

| Madison, Wis.-The State Council
of Defense today added it's influence
to the effort which is being made to
keep the Wisconsin troops at Camp
Douglas until October 1.
The following resolutions were a.
dopted at the weekly meeting of the
Council:
"WHEREAS, Wisconsin has recru-
tied and on August /, 1917 will have
in camp at Camp Douglas $4,000
members of it's National Guard who
have been drafted into the service,
and,
WHEREAS, Wisconsin's National
Guard, trained in past years in this
state, has held an enviable position in
the National Guard of the nation, and,
WHEREAS, The state of Wiscn-
sin has by legislative enactment main
tanned the state reservation at Camp
Douglas in all details affecting the
health and morals of the citizen SOL
der, and
WHEREAS, 1t has been reported
unofffcially, that the Wisconsin troops
mustered into the federal service July
Is, 1917, are to be ordered to Waco,
Texas, Immediately, and
WHEREAS, The climate of the
State of Wisconsin during the month
of August and September is conceded
to be better fitted for the outdoor
training and residence of troops than
the climate of Texas during the same
months, and
WHEREAS, While no citizen of
Wisconsin desires to interfere with or
impede the plans of the war depart
ment for the successful training or the
transportation of troops to the front
in France, it is conscientiously believed
that to allow the Wisconsin troops TO
remain at Camp Douglas, Wisconsin,
during the two summer months men
toned would result in their going
south or to the front in the best phys
zeal condition, therefore, be it
"RESOLVED, By the Wisconsin
State Council of Defense, that the
State Council of Defense respectfully
requests that the Wisconsin State
troops be not removed to a southern
camp before October l, 1917, unless re-
quired by military expediency, and be
it further
"RESOLVED, That copy of these
resolutions be sent to the Hon. New
ton D. Baker, Secretary of War, to the
United States Senators from Wiscon-
sin, and to the Representative in Con-
gress from this state"
The fact that Adjutant General
Holway has prepared for the care of
10000 troops at Camp Douglas con-
WINGED the State Council that its re-
quest was not out Of place
