Catarrh 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 is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal DeSfness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachiau Tube. When
this tube is iniamsd you have rumb,
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces OF the
system.

County Medical Association Meets

The Prince Georges County Medical
Association which meets every two
months, met in Washington on Satur-
day last. Those present were Drs. H.
B. Mcdonald, L. A. Griffith, w. Allen
Griffith, George w. Jones, R. A. Ben
nett, A. o. Etienne, H. T. Willis, w.
S. Taylor, John M. Duvall, w. H. Glib
bons, J. C. Ohlendorf. S. M. Mcmillan
and e. R. DuFour.
Several interesting cases were re-
ported and discussed. An elegant
lunch was served blythe Association.
The following officers were elected
for the present year:
DR.. H. B. Mcdonald, President;
DIR. George w. Jones, Vice-President;
DIR. R. A. Bennett, Secretary;
DR.. w. Allen Griffith. Treasurer;
DR.. L. A. Griffith, Delegate to State
Medical Association;
DIR: A. O. Etienne, Censor,
The association is in fiourishing con-
dition but the membership is composed
chiefly of physicians from the upper
section of the County. Of the forty
five practicing physicians of the county
only about twenty-five are members of
the County Association. No physician
can be member of the State or Amer
lean Medical Associations unless he
is a member of the County Association.
1t seems therefore that onlv about
twenty-five physicians of the county
are members of the State or Am erican
Medical Associations. In Calvert Coun-
ty every practicing physician is mem
Der. So in the ether counties q large
majority of the practicing physicians
are members of the County and State
Associations.

Social Service Association Organized

The Prince Georges County Social
Service Association was formally organ
lied at a meeting held in the Court
House at Upper Marlboro on Tuesday
asst. The object of this new organiza-
ton as stated in its constitution is ITO
discover and correct those things which
interfere with normal family life; to
assist families in which abnormal con-
ditions exist and to alleviate or remove
these conditions; to care for and place
out destitute or neglected children and
to act as a general clearing house for
all agencies and efforts whose object is
to better social conditions in the Coun-
ty."
The officers elected to serve for the
first year are: President MIR. Joseph
Addison, of Mitchellville; Vice-Presi-
dent, DR.. H. M Bowen of Aquasco;
Treasurer, Mr.. S. D. Hall of Belts
vile; Secretary, Miss Lillian Hood. of
Hyattsville. The Board of Managers
in addition to the above includes Mr..
John Snowden of Laurel, Mrs, G. G.
Appleman of Hyattsville. Miss Emma
Walker of Capitol Heights, Rev. L.
Cody Marsh of Iceland and Mr.. +. 5.
Burroughs of Clinton. These people
are all so we'll known to the people OF
the County that it is unnecessary for
as to say anything about them, and
their names alone are sufficient to
guarantee the standing of the organi-
cation in the community.
Few people in the County realize the
amount of distress and suffering that
exists among US, and we venture to say
that if ten people were stopped on the
street and asked if there were any poor
people in the County who needed the aid
of a trained social worker eight would
answer "No". Miss Hood, a former
secretary of the Federated Charities in
Baltimore, who has been working in
the County for the last three months
read most interesting report of her
work at the meeting on Tuesday in
which she stated that in the three
months she has had over fifty families
reported to her as requiring her assist
ance. We hope next week to publish
this repsrt in full together with some
account of exactly the kind of work Miss
Hood is doing.
Miss Hoods work for three months
has been done under the auspices of
the Alliance of Charitable and Social
Agencies whose headquarters are in
Baltimore. This organization which in
cludes twelve of the leading charitable
societies in the State has long felt the
need of some agents in the counties and
last summer inaugurated County De-
partment under the charge of Mr.. Will
liam H. Davenport, former secretary
of the Board of State Aid and Charities.
1t is the aim of this Department to 'es-
tablish in the various counties Of the
State Societies which will do for the
people of the counties what such
organizations as the Federated Chart
ties. the Henry Watson Children's Aic
Society and the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Association do for Baltimore
City.
This new organization fills need ir
our County which for some time ha:
been keenly felt by those in position tt
know conditions. and we sincerely trust
tlat it will be successful in its splendid
work.

Mrs. Caroline Wells.

| 1t is with sincere sorrow that we
announce the death on Sunday the 18th
instant of Mrs. Caroline M. Wells, at
her home near this town in the 82nd
year of her age. Death was due to
heart failure. Her demise was unex-
illness. Mrs. Wells was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Smith and was
born in this county on May 9th. 1885.
She married Horace Wells who died
January 9th, 1877. She is survived by
six children John A. Wells, Laura A.
Talbot, Margaret E. Loveless, Eman-
uel E. Wells, Horace F. Wells and Vim
cent I. Wells, and a number of grand
children and great G children.
Mrs. Wells, it may be truly said,
lived in four generations. She saw the
companions of her youth grow to ma
ture life. become the heads of families,
their offspring reach majority, and in
turn become parents of children who
are now in the prime of life. Thrown
upon her own resources by the death
of her husband with large and de-
pendent family, by dint of real toll and
perseverance she managed to save her
property and rear her children to full
growth, who are today among the best
of our citizenship in this community.
Mrs. Wells was devout Catholic, and
she steadfastly adhered to her faith
and that of her husband, and her child
rem are sincere followers of the faith of
their parents. One of her predominant
traits was her extreme kindness and
love for young people. She was de-
voted to her family and enjoyed its
companionship.
She gloried in the consolation that her |
years of labor and effort for her fam !
had met its just reward and her re-
clining years wer e spent in saving for |
those for whom she had spent the best |
of her life. We extend our sincere |
sympathy to the family in their be-
reavement.
The funeral took place from ST. |
Mary's Church on Tuesday morning, |
Rev. F. J. Loughran, pastor officiating.
1t was very largely attended.
Six of her grandsons, Messrs Horace
and Joseph Wells, and Messrs Thomas,
Joseph, Vincent and William Talbot,
Jr. acted as pallbearers

II A. Cannon, a. Of Maysville is
IN the Chickasha hospital suffering
from a stab wound which seems to
have resulted from an alteration that
occurred Sunday morning about 3
O'Clock on the Verden road west Of
Chickasha. Major Moore is in jail
and a charge covering the stabbing
will doubtless be filed against him
It was stated at the Chickasha hos

tered Cannon's body deep enough to
enetrate one OF his lungs and while
bis condition is improved AT this time,
