Catarrhal Deafness 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 constitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
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 it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Med
icine. Circulars free. All druggists,

would be another fire than night
just so they could see that "steam

have a sort of fascination for most
boys, you know. But their hopes
were soon blasted for while the
fremen were preparing to take
their engine from the car they re-

Lawrence. Kan, July 3.-Thirteen

from Kansas high schools are learn
ing to coach basketball and track
teams, as a part of their studies at
the summer session of the University
of Kansas. High schools turnout the
state demand teachers who have had

teach academic subjects and high
schools pay such teachers s25 to $50
a month more than teachers who
have been trained only in academic
work.

The women teachers are taught how
to train girls for basketball, the tech
nique of the game and how to guard
the health of the players. One class
of men is studying basketball; an
other, track work and how to pick
boys for the kind of athletics suited

ing orders to be given the railroads prior

Fifth-That all dealers and consumers
receiving coal in carload lots unload the
same with utmost dispatch, to the end that

requested to return them promptly to the
mines for re-loading.
Sixth-That all empty cars be returned to
the mines for re-loading with the ut
most dispatch.
Seyenth-That oDerators order daily only

pacity, and so far possible to the load
limit of 10 per cent above marked ca
