CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the eur. There is only one way to
cure catarrhal deafness, and that
is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube is infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entire
" closed deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an in1amed condition Of
the mucous surfaces. HALLS Cat
arrh Cure acts thru the blood on
the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case OF Catarrhal
Deafness that cannot be, cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Circulars

handle all the first class mail dur
ing the run. This often means
several days delay.
A client of mine, ON accounC of
complaints for nondelivery, caused
an investigation at the Minneapolis
terminal last Saturday, and search
ing thru three sacks of undistrib-
uted North Dakota mail found that
one of them contained the Hast
ings Gazette and one the Cannon
Falls Beacon. both of which, at
the time should have been delivered
in North Dakota. The other sack
contained price lists sent out by
E. w. Briggs and Co. of Kansas
City, Mo-, dated February 10Th.
Price lists in cold storage grow
stale and wont produce much rev
enue for the post office in the
form of letters of inquiry and or
ders for goods.
Many copies of the Nonpartisan
Leader of North Dakota have not
been delivered until the week fol
lowing publication and doubtless
every other weekly of large circul-
alton has had the same difficulty.
Newspapers have the right to
protect their subscription list and
their advertisers by the prompt
delivery of their paper to all of
their readers, and the government
has the right to revenue that comes
from letters and orders that result
from the readers of news items and
advertieing.

GOVERNMENT BY BUREAUCRACY

James Manahan Law Offices" of
st. Paul for whatever it may be
worth, not being possessed Of any
further information Of, or &C
q%uaintance with, the author. nor
of it's purpose.
The Press, however, has been
satisfied for a long time that there
exists within the supposed federal
government at Washington d. G.
a bureaucracy ring or whatever
you have a mind to call it which is
becoming more and more a detri-
ment and burden to the little bust
ness interests of the country as
compared with "Big Business"
The letter also puts a new light
on the matter of the irregular and
inefficient mail service that Potter
and Dewey counties are getting
from both the North Western and
Milwaukee railway, not alone in
irregular trains but in inefficient
mail service as in cases of delay of
eastern mail arriving when it
should.
Mr.. Manahan. we presume,
is also furnishing other news
papers with the same correspond
ence as follows:
IL ask your help in warning the
public of the danger of discredit-
ing government ownership of the
postal service. You are concerned
of course in having your paper
delivered promptly to your read
ers and in receiving your own
mail without delay, but l do not
appeal to this selfish interest.
"The public welfare will l know
appeal to you even more strongly.
"As a matter of revenue and
taxes it shows lack of business
judgment for the government to
overwork it's men, thus delaying
the delivery of information and
advertising and discouraging let
ter writing, consequently divert
ing orders to the telephone and
telegraph companies and parcel
carrying to the express companies.
A saving of one million dollars by
holding down the plumber of rail
way postal clerks below the num-
her required for good service in
the prompt handling of mail, costs
the government not less than fifty
million dollars annually in business
diverted to the wire and express
companies.
but ! am more concerned with
the broader aspect of the evil.
1t tends to %perpetuate the control
OF public business by private cor
porations. Ever since the farmers
of the Northwest began to organ
ize on a nonpartisan basis to assert
themselves in matters of govern
ment with q definite program Of
government ownership of public
utilities. and especially since the
war in Europe has shown so clear.
" the inherent selfishness as we'll
as weakness of private ownership
in all matters concerning the gen.
eral public welfare, there has been
in this country a craftily organized
campaign to discredit all govern
ment service.
The bureaucracy entrenched in
