have been completely cured by the

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

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
con Stitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have 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
destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts thru the blood On the mu-
cous surfaces of tibet system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

LUST FOR PROFIT MAY LOSE
WAR.

N. D. Cochran, writing from Wash
ington, D. c., to the Wichita Beacon
under date of August a, says:
All over this country men, women
and children are patrioticlly doing
their best to help President Wilson
conserve the food supply of the coun-
try.
They are saving and skimping.
They are doing their bit without a
murmur.
Give Boys Bravely.
Fathers and mothers are giving
their boys to the army and navy
to fight to make the world safe for
democracy. They are figuring at the
family council table how to live and
still pay the grocer and butcher.
And down here in Washington a
lot of fat-head senators are backing
and filling, stewing and stalling, put
tering and bidding over darned fool
amendments to bill that would en-
able the President to bring down the
cost of living within speaking dis
lance of wages.
There is no difference between
democrats and republicans. That's
bunk. It's merely difference be-
tween men.
They Want War Gains.
1t isn't love FOR democracy, love
for humanity, or anything of the
kind that makes them putter with the
food control bill. 1t can't be any
thing but the powerful influence of
profit mongers who want to make
money out Of this war.
They are not satisfied with peace
profits. They want war profits.
They want war profits out of steel,
coal, food and everything the gov
eminent needs for the army and
navy, and everything the people have
to have in order to live.
They want our boys to cross the
ocean, taking chances of being sunk
by German submarines, and to give
up their lives onthe bloody fields of
Belgium and France.
They want the people to be patrio-
tic and periodically welcome COM
pulsory military service. And yet,
at the same time, these food and
business hogs want to make money
out of it.
They're blind. They're ignorant.
They are not smart enough to see
that the people won't stand for that
kind of a game.
They don't seem to realize that the
next move will be an overwhelming
demand that the government-the
peoples government-take over the
coal mines, the packing and cold
storage plants, the grain elevators,
the steel mills, the ship yards, the
factories and anything else that may
be necessary to make ptriotism take
no thought of profit and fight our
part of this war for the welfare of
our own people while we're making
the world safe for democracy.
Patriotism is noble emotion, but
it doesn't thrive on cold body and
an empty belly.

himself. At recent contest at FIT.

place for high jumping, in Competi-

Perkins afterwards rode him without
