Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, As they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the Eu-
etachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when ii ia en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result. and
unless tn Inflammation can be taken out
end this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for,
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

on farms amounted to approximately
1l1,272,000 bushels. From this
about 33.120,O00 bushels must be
set aside for seeding Of spring wheat.
leaving an available balance for mar
keting in farmers hands of 1882
900 bushels. On the same date the
were 69.693,00O bushels. This gave
6 total supply of wheat available for
food purposes of 147.S45,00O bush
els.
Flour stocks at mills totaled TO-
202 900 bushels. In addition there
was a visible supply of flour at ter
minal elevators of 1S,364,500 bush
els. This gave a total of wheat and
flour stocks on March /, of 176.411.-
500 bushels.
From this supply the United States
must feed itself and share with the
Allies, who require of us 75,000.00O

Camp Greene Claims Most cosmopoI-
itan Outfit In National Army.

The personnel Of the First army
headquarters regiment at Camp
Greene In North Carolina is perhaps
the most diverse that could be found
in any regiment In the American army.
Its function when II goes abroad is
surmised by the fact that 1t is a head
quarters regiment and that nearly all
of Its members speak French.
The working of the melting pot in
America is exemplifed in a study of
the regiment. Every European nation
Is represented In Its personnel, In

Among the French-speaking mem
bers of the regiment are many French

the United States and Canada and
many "cagans" from the French
speaking parishes Of Louisiana.

Wirthmor ST Waists
LOOKMORE!

Wirthmor waists do not look like the kind
of dollar waists you have been accustomed
to. No other dollar waist in America can
touch them for style and quality.
If Henry Ford produced only 1000 cars a
year you could not buy one for a few hun
dred dollars. The same big plan which
makes the Ford possible is employed in the
manufacture of these famous dollar waists.
Four standardized styles every week. AL
ways new, always different, but the same
high W1RTHMOR standard of quality. And
so wide has the demand for them spread
that we have had to request a larger allot-
ment. Come early for one of these new
Wirthmors.
