Catarrhal Deafness Cannot 30 Cured

by local applications. as they cannot

There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness. and that is by con-

Unless the inflammation can be re-

Denies Loss Of Vessels.

Washington, May 25.--A categorical
denial that any American naval yes
sells have been sunk in the war was is
sued tonight by Secretary Daniels to
counteract a campaign of vicious
rumors that is being carried on so in
dustriously by persons unknown. 1t
WAS the first official notice to be taken
of a flood of reports of naval disasters
that started almost as soon as it was
known that American destroyers were
in thu war zone.
ut is with deep regret" said the
secretary In n formal statement. that
] note the daily stream of false reports
with regard to the sinking of American
ships. brokerage wires are particu-
lar source of these baseless rumors
that cannot but be the cause OF need
less distress to every true American,
as well as to the mothers and fathers
of the nation who have sons Mt sea.
The department has given repeated
assurance that its policy Is to be one
of absolute frankncss with respect to
disaster. If 1t should be that ships
| are sunk, full information will be given
out officially and quickly.
THE reason for these false reports
! cannot be asccrtained. The one hope
, is that the press will refuse to aid this
| campaign of vicious rumors that are
| being carried on so iniustriOus,y by
| persons unknown.
Had Effect on Exchanges.
Although only in remote cases have
| the sensational rnmors found their
way into print their distribution
has been widespread and In ONE
cases, their influence has been
marked by wide fluctuations in grain.
cotton and stock exchanges. The
| Washington correspondents and news
services have had innumerable queries
about reported disasters to one or an
other destroyer or battleship. and one
rumor widely circulated told of a
| mythical engagement off Helgoland.
in which n large number OF American
ships were supposed to have been lost.
All of these stories have been denied
informally by the navy censor and
hundreds of newspapers, acting under
n voluntary censorship and relying on
the governments assurances of pol
lev of frankncss, have refrainea from
publishing them.

an army officer who was in China at

with which l was attached in China
was in position to witness the execu-

been caught with our assistance, and
the leader Of the Cinnamon thought
that we deserved the privilege of see

"Our commander was particularly
impressed with the looks of one of the
rebels. He was a fine built fellow.
about nineteen years old, and his face.
even five minutes before he was sched-
uled to die. was wreathed in smiles.
Our leader determined to save the fell

the young rebel.
"I can't spare him. the man re-
piled. 4 have been ordered to execute
the whole twenty rebels
AFTER much persuasion he agreed to
allow the man to live. To follow out

ENGLISH Prison Pits.

Prison pits were vaults in which
criminals in England were kept at
night, chained together. There was
one at Bristol which was in use as
late as 1915. Down eighteen steps, it
was only seventeen feet in diameter
by nine feet high, and seventeen men
were consigned to it every night.
Even more typical was Warwick Jail
pit, which was occupied at least until
1907. 1t was an octagonal dungeon
twenty-one feet in diameter and al
most nineteen feet underground. In
the middle was cesspool, and beside
it ran a stream Of water which served
the prisoners for drinking purposes.
To this awful cell forty-two men were
consigned every afternoon at 3:45. to
remain there until after daylight the
following morning.

Everything might be worse than it

Burke in THE White Road to Yer

the philosophy of the man in the ranks:

If you're not modified there's no

If you're behind the lines there is no
need to worry; if you're on the front
of two things one is certain-eitller
you're resting in safe place or you're
exposed to danger
If you're resting in a safe place there
is no need to worry: if you're exposed
to danger. of two things one is certain
either you're wounded or you're not
wounded.
If you're not wounded there is no
need to worry; If you are wounded Of
two things one is certain-either you're
wounded seriously or you're wounded
slightly.
If you're wounded slightly there is
no need to worry: if you're wounded
seriously of two things one is certain
either you recover or you die
If you recover there is no need to
worry; if you die you can't worry.

A Suggestion to the Maine
Farmers.

The State Department of Agriculture
wishes at this time to call the attention
of the farmers of the State to the wide
spread agitation for more and better
crops. This agitation no doubt is the
result of the present high cost of food
stuffs and the fact that We are on the
verge of war and may require any sur
plus that we can produce.
Looking at this matter from the stand
point of the farmer we fully believe that
each and every farmer should plant all
the ground he can possibly handle. Our
recommendation is made in the full be-
lief that fair return will be received
for the money invested.
The problem of securing help to handle
any extra work which the farmer may
attempt is hound to be perplexing one.
Our advice in this case is, if you cannot
increase your acreage, be sure and sow
nothing but the very best seed on what
phasized too much. Your potatoes and
grain seed should be carefully selected
and treated with formaldehyde before
planting. 1t is generally conceded that
about third of the farmers pay much
attention to the condition and treatment
of their seed and we suggest that now is
a good time for the other two-thirds to
get busy. No matter how well prepared
your land is it will not raise crop when
poor seed is soWn.
1t seems at this particular time that
few acres planted to wheat would be a
good proposition. Any abnormal condi-
tion that calls for extra food supplies
most always places wheat in the front
rank. We don't advise planting wheat
in place of our regular crops, but if pos
sible to do SO put few acres more I'M
der cultivation on your farm. Right
here the question will arise regarding
the milling of wheat. In answer to this
we will state that a flour mill is being
established in Waterville and will soon
be ready to do business. If in any COM
munity carload of wheat is raised the
milling would be small item.
1t is a fact conceded by all who are
studying conditions today that there is
n immediate danger of over production.
If war must come the farmers have their
place in it and the popular demand is
that they furnish the food to maintain
health and strength the same as in nor
NAL times.
In closing this short article we would
suggest that the State Depal tment OF
Agriculture is ready and willing to aid
the farmer in any way possible regard
ing methods of seed treatment or answer
any question relating to seeds or crops.

Suggestions to Farmers.

How the New England farmer can eff

is pointed out in a statement issued by
committee of the New England Fedora
ton for Rural Progress appointed to
formulate plans for utilizing the FEEDER
alton in solving the food question in case
Of war. In this statement the commit
tee says: The outbreak of war will
mean the speeding up of those industries
making war munitions. This, together
with the number of men taken to recruit
an army, will produce severe shortage
of farm labor. Every day between now
and the time when the land is fit for
working should be utilized by farmers in
overhauling and repairing all farm ma
chinery, harnesses and equipment of all
kinds, so that not single hour will be
lost when these machines and equip
ments are needed in the field.
Even though the cost of feed is very
high, horses should be we'll fed and hard
ened by exercise so that time will not be
lost in conditioning them when the work
season begins.
Farmers should not rush headlong in
to the growing of large acreages of new
crops, but should carefully plan their
system of cropping for this year so that
the work will be evenly distributed
tn roughout the season and not call for a
large amount of extra labor to care for
crops at any one time.
''All soil should be thoroughly prepar-
ed, cultivation should be intensive, and
all seeds should be tested for germina.
