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 a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have r4mb-
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 its
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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of catarrhal Deafness tina

Cure. Circulars free. All Druggists

"Ben Hur" at National Theater.

Klaw & Changers wonderful pro-
duction of "Ben Hur'' is the booking
for the New National Theatre, Wash
ington for week beginning Monday,
February 5.
The play has been crowding the
Manhattan Opera House, New York
City for many weeks, and Washington
directly follows the New York engage
ment.
Looking at "Ben Hur" from any
point of view-as a serious drama,
gorgeous spectacle, mechanical exhibit
of the best modern stage craft. or an
example of the best composition in
Greek and Oriental music-it is distinct
i've and distinguished. The present
production of the play, so far as the
embellishing effects of the stage go, is
entirely new and Orientally rich.
Three hundred and fifty living people
are concerned in the swiftly changing
scenes of the play and twenty horses
participate in the wildly stirring
chariot race. The Grove of Daphne,
the Fountain of Castalia and the Sum
NIT of Mount Olivet, are admirable
pictures of the ancient scenes of the
deeply dramatic story. The music is
singularly fine, and was written to fit
the scenes and incidents and atmos-
phere of the play. 1t is the work OF
Professor Edgar Stillman Kelley-ar
authority in this country on Greek anc
Oriental music.
This is the only play that Billy Sun
day, the. noted evangelist, has ever
referred to as worthy of all praise. He
said Il wish one hundred million people
could see it. and l should like nothing
better than to talk to $4,000 men anc
women just after they had seen "Ber
Hur"
The curtain on this hugh spectacle
rises promptly at eight o'clock in the
evening, and at two O'Clock for matinee:
which will be given on Wednesday ant

Social Service Association Board
Meeting.

The first meeting of the Board of
Managers of the new Social Service
Association was held at Marlboro on
Tuesday of last week Reports from
those who have been conducting the
campaign for funds showed progress and
quite fair sum has been subscribed.
The Evansville District showed up par
ticularly we'll in this respect.
The Board determined that sufficient
money had been pledged to Justify them
in employing Miss Lillian Hood, the
social worker who has been working in
the County for the past three months.
Miss Hood was instructed to call in the
subscriptions so far pledged, and it was
determined to continue an active effort
to raise the 1000 90 necessary to fin
| ance the organization for the first year.
1t developed that many people have
asked the solicitors just what the
organization is going to do for the
County. We have therefore been asked
by the Secretary to state some of the
ways in which the County will benefit
by the Association.
By far the greatest gain will be in so
training or guiding neglected and de-
linquent children that they will turn
out useful citizens instead of paupers
or criminals. Scarcely second to this is
securing treatment for children whose
school work is being seriously hampered
by physical defects such as poor sight,
adenoids or enlarged tonsils which can
be readily cured by slight surgical OPP
erations. The County is now spending
large sums of money, for out pensions,
the almshouse, the hospital care for
the sick; Miss Hoods work has demon
strated that large percentage of this
can be saved if adequate Investigations
can be made and other possible means |
of support developed. In nearly every |
community there are families or in
dividuals that are being supported by |
benevolent individuals or organizations.
Experience here and elsewhere has
SHOWN that at least 50 per cent of these
can either be made self supporting or
sources of support such as relatives, or
other persons under some obligation
can be developed. That these condi-
tons have not been remedied is not the
fault of the County government or of
the medical profession, but is solely due
to the fact that they have had no one
to do for them things which they could
not do, but realized should be done.
Each of these benefits and many more
can easily be illustrated with cases on
which Miss Hood is now working, and
if space permitted it could easily be
demonstrated that Miss Hoods work
will in the long run actually save the
County and its citizens money, to say
nothing of the lives which are made
happier and the hearthst tones which are
made real homes and not mere lodging
places or worse.

The Tobacco Growers Association.

The Tobacco Growers Association met
here on Wednesday 31st, 1917. The
meeting was called to order by Mr.. A.
T. Robinson, who introduced Mr.. R.
Laurie Mitchell, who is president of the
Association. He delivered an address
which was strictly to the point and was
enjoyed by avery enthusiastic audience
The meeting was also addressed by
Mr.. NJ. H. Magruder, H. st. ]. L..
Briscoe, and Hon. J. H. Blandford.
Cards were given out to be returned
to the Secretary of the Association,
stating amount of stock subscribed and
number of hogsheads of tobacco pledged
to the association.
The result of the meeting was very
gratifying to those Interested. and the
Association seems to have started the
work under pleasing auspices.

will have to be done but week or
two for then gardens are practically
beyond need of irrigation and the

The Suburbs Make Appeal
to Cut Dolun Use of Water
for Erigating for Few Days

The water situation is decidedly bad
the worst in the history OF Salem. There
are two reasons for it and the remedy.
and the only remedy is in the hands
of the water users Of Salem. There is
no use kicking at the company for it

the situation and running the pumps
to capacity during the irrigating hours.
1t is pumping more than six million gal
Ions through its pipes every "a hours,
or about 400 gallons, ten barrels, for
every person in the city. With proper
conservation this can be made to sup
ply all. One of the reasons for appar-
ent shortage, is that the planting of an
unusual area to gardens and potatoes
has created an unusual demand for irri
eating water, and the other is needless
use of water on lawns, much more be-
ing used than is necessary. This is es-
pecially true of the down town dis.

N|CHAEL|S WILL BID
FOR GERMAN PEACE
Would Base Terms On Ger
many's Occupancy Of
Captured Territory

London, July 19.-Chancellor Mich
aelis win bid for "German peace'' in
his reichstag speech this afternoon, ac-
cording to reports received from Swiss
sources today.
They declared. the chancellor Is peace
formula would conform strictly to the
instructions OF the German general
staff and be based on the military stu
alton now regarded as favorable to Ger
many.
There was the direct hint in some
German dispatches that if DR.. Mich
aelis' pronouncement was unsatisfac-
factory or il he temporarized in the
view of the reichstag coalition major
ity, another crisis might be precipita-
tion. In this situation the guesses as
te what the new chancellor might have
to say covered wide range Of specula-
tiOn.
The reichstag majority holds a very
effective weapon as yet-the power to
withhold approval Of the credit bill. II
it refuses this bill the government has
only two courses open under the con
stitution. One is to accede, to the ma.
jority 3 demands and the other is to pro
rogue the session. The reiehstag eaN
only be prorogueds for 80 days unless its
consent is given.
IF longer period of dismissal is
sought, the law requires disbanding of
the parliament and new elections.
Presumably the junkeritcs, who mar
aged to oust Hollweg and put in Mich
aelis, have figured out some other way
of avoiding the situation.

CROPS WILL Be LIGHT
But BRING MORE Cash
Wheat Crop of Three States
Placed at 54,335,OOO Bush
els, Price $lOS,OOO,OOO

Portland. Ore, July 19.-Despite
smaller grain crops this year than last,
Pacific northwest farmers viii make
more money this year than ever before.
Oregon, Washington and Idaho will
produce 54,335,000 bushels of wheat this
year compared with 6l,000,000 in 1916.
However, this seasons crop when har-
vested, will sell for $10S,000,000 while
last year it brought only s75,000,00O.
Increased prices have more than made
up for the shrinkage in yield.
These are the estimates today of Hy
man H. Cohen, market and crop expert
who has returned from a l,600-mile trip
through the grain growing districts OF
the Inland Empire.
The damage of hot winds and unusu-
ally dry weather has cost northwest
farmers many millions, according to
Cohen. And the danger Of loss from un-
favorable weather is not vet passed.
Ten DAYS more of hot weather and dry
ing winds viii cut the yield millions of
bushels. A heavy rain would increase
if pEOportionstely.
According to Cohen 8 figures, Wash
ington this year will produce $4,000, 600
bushels of wheat; Oregon, IA 100000,
and Idaho, 7,aS5.000.

The Method in Detail.

During the drawing the capsules will
be stirred continuously.
Reduced to its simplest terms, this is
the method of the lottery as explained
in a pamphlet issued at the provost
marshal general IS office.
The drawing is merely to determine
the order in which men must appear for
examination in their district.
Inasmuch as there are more than 10,-
900 registrants in the largest district
in the nation and only 100 in others, the
national drawing must determine the
order in the smallest as well as the
largest.
First the numbers, from nothing to
10000 inclusive, viii be drawn to de-
termine the order of the thousand
.'groupso on the "master lists. "
Next drawing Of numbers from one
to 1000 to determine the order inside
the "thousand groups"
For instance if the drawing of the
"thousand groups results thus: eight,
five, nothing, two, four, three, one, six
nine, seven, that determines the order
of the groups of thousands.
How Numbers Arranged.
uci IL AAOhi OAC "
1000 globe starts this way: SIG, "a, 500,
1, 43, etc., through the thousand num-
bers, the first number on the master
list would be 5000 plus $40, or S,S76,
the second would be S,034, the third
$500, the fourth 500 and so on.
After the "eight thousands" have
been added to the one to 1000 list in or
der, then the number-five-in the
"thoussnds group drawing is picked
rp and applied in the same way. Then
the numbers Immediately following
these 5000 would be 5000 plus SIG or
1916 followed by 5,0S4; $500, 5,00i. etc
tbrought the list again. Although only
1.0l0 numbers are drawn, it would
make a list of 10000 numbers when all
the "thousand group" numbers are ap-
piled.
