Catarrh Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear
There is only one way 10 cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inilamed condition OF the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbling
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 con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
Many cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an intlamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Med
icine acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces OF the system
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

Edgs, Ten Gents Hundred!

An Oklahoman has been devoting his spare time to study of prices in the long ago, and has rediscOvered the fact that during the reign of Henry " of England a goose cost ' cents. not 8 pound, but the whole bird; eggs were 10 cents 100; 1G pounds of butter could be had for 25 cents; wine was 3 cents quart, and whole carcass of beef could be obtained for $7.50. How the imagination is stirred by those figures until one reads that skilled carpenters were paid F cents day and less skilled workers in pro- portion. The Oklahoman is much puz- zled by it all, but at least he sees clearly when stating that the only hope is in increased production,-San Francisco Chronicle.

To the children fairies stand for all the wonderful and unpredictable possl- bilities of life, for all the magic Of It. it's charm of unexpectedness. A child is a bit puzzled by the inevitable; in the fairy world it does not exist. In that world he slips away from the world of grown-ups, with it's endless consequences remorselessly bounding the gay, irresponsible little-child do' ings.

WE ARE THE GREATEST FAT
 WASHERS!

This is the truth. We women of America are the greatest fat-wastcrs in the world. This is q strong in dictment. and, let us hope, by the end of the war we will no longer have to plead guilty to it.
 The European woman would hold up her hands in horror if she could spend one morning in one of our kitchens and see the reckless way we waste fat in various forms
 For instance, great many of us cut all the fat off meat and throw 1t away Most of us use a great deal more butter and lard than w need in fried foods. Aid all of us waste soap.
 Today such extravagance will mean a serious condition of affairs. The worlds supply of fat is short. Yet we can not get along without some fat in our diet. There is no substl- ute for it.
 For this reason, so that tn worlds fat-supply can be made to reach cV= ervbody's needs, and because we are using more than is necessary for our needs. we are asked to cut down our fat consumption 5000 ,000 tons this year.
 375 100000 tons,
 We can not possibly do this, if any of us lies back and says, "Oh, the little could economics on fat won't make any difference"
 It will make difference. Each of us must do our share. If every person in America uses one third of an ounce less a day, or about two teaspoon fuls of fat, or if it is butter, one less part a day - the hughe demand for fat by our allies could be met Do not deprive your children of their us ual amount of dairy butter on the table. however, as it has food values essential to their growth. Economize on butter bv using less of 1t in cook ing. Remember w must send the allies three times as much butter as before the war
 Besides fats, we must economlZe on sugar. France, England and Italy are depndng largely on us for thclr supply of this product. Fortunately, we can easily meet this demand by little personal economy, for as with fats, we use great deal more sugar than is necessary. Today the usual American consumption per person Is just double that of France. If they cando with so much less. certainly we can do with little less!
 The easiest way to economize on sugar is by going without candy and sweet drinks. using less of 1t Tn our tea and coffee and on our cereals, learning to eat fruit without it, and by using more of dark syrups, honey and maple syrup.
 Don't practice foolish ecnomy, how ever, and skimp the sugar in putting up fruits and jams, for these will save butter next winter.

II e is claimed that one Of the chief reasons why
= the criminal calendar in the circuit court is
far in arrears is, that there has been vacancy
ia the court during large part of the past year,
during which time the two remaining circuit judg-
es have devoted themselves chiefly to trying civil
instead Of criminal cases ...
Granting that the vacancy in the office is a con-
tributing cause il is Submitted that giving civil
causes the right OF way over criminal cases, ex-
cepting some which may involve principles affect
ing the community at large, is radically wrong
policy
Some men who have been convicted in the po-
lice court appeal for the sole purpose of securing
delay, iii the hopes that they may thereby escape
punishment. 10 these persons the policy Of de-
lay is no hardship. 1t is just what they want.
The community interest requires, however, that
these appeals be tried promptly. Otherwise the
law can be. and is de6ed with IMMUNITY, and prac-
tcally nulli6ed. 49,. ...s'
Another class of cases. however, is where the
persons convicted cannot secure ball. and must re-
main in Jail until trial or to whom conviction in
the lower court or the indictment found by the
grand jury, is an intolerable worry, overshadow-
ing their entire lives until the be disposed of
The civil causes involve, a rule, mere dollars
aud cents---a debt claimed to be overdue; piece
OF land in dispute; wrangle over proportionate
interests IN joint property, and the like ~ y.
To The Advertiser it does not appear that there
should be any question OF precedence between
these average civil suits and the cases which in
volve human life, liberty or charge OF crime.
As TO the first class of cases. it is fundamental
that prompt justice and punishment should be
melted out to the professional criminal or the law
falls into contempt and it's breach becomes mat
ter OF course. man will take chance on being
punished year from now, who will not do so If
he is to be tried on the merits forthwith
The establishment of the principle OF prompt
justice is far more vital to the community than is
the settling Of private property disputes. -.
As to the second class OF cases, the man should
be considered before the dollarr' .,...
Human liberty; personal rights; the thing which
makes man man instead Of thing, are sub
jects of the highest privilege, and should take
precedence over all others. Nav. it.a.&HA
The Advertiser believes that the judges Of the
circuit court should modify the policy Of giving
precedence to civil causes, and try the criminal
cases first, until the calendar is cleared,
