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 constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is causedby
an intlamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is intlamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t
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 infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous 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.

Col. Torrey for the Senate
Mansfield, Mo. July Ii.

Mansfield, Mo-. July Ii.
Editor Mansfield Mirror: To
sether with hundreds of others
of your readers / was greatly
pleased to read in your issue OF
the 18th instant, the announce
ment of the senatorial candidacy
of Colonel Jay L. Torrey, and
your editorial endorsement of
the same. This is not the time
for a bitterly partizan. campaign,
because every American worthy
of the name is behind our PreSi.
dent in every measure to win the
war. If Colonel Torrey had been
in the senate at the declaration
of war. We may be sure that he
would not have been included in
the group whom the President
branded as twelve obstinate
men, and both our Missouri
senator's were! Neither would
be be found wasting precious
time in legal hair splitting and
opposition to measures the exc
cutive found needful, as has been
done many times by our mis- fit
senator's. In brief Col. Torrey
would live up to his motto and
do everything to win the war
and win it now." Not since the
days of Thomas H.. Benton, eigh
ty years ago, have the people of
Missouri had the chance to place
in the senate of the United Sta
ties a man of the caliber of Jay
l.. Torrey; especially here in the
Ozark region, where he makes
his home. he should poll every
Republican vote in the primaries
and certainly the sturdy, old Re.
publican county of Wright should
lead III that vote.

the weather is concerned, but it was hot
and the ventilation was not very good

sisted of two meals a day. Once a day
we had bread, coffee and beans, and

first week there was quite a number
sick. but towards the last we were all
feeling fine. We were inspected twice
a day for measles and humps but there
were only a few cases. The worst in
convenience was, they would not allow
any smoking after shutdown until sun
up, and now we can't buy tobacco, for
the French tobacco is not fit to smoke
and they don't keep the other. But we
can get all the wine and beef we want.
Wine is ~ francs, or 30c., per quart,
and the beer is 20 centimes, or dc,
per quart.
While passing through a town in
France we met a bunch of soldiers
from Australia. 1t surprised me that
we talked the same language with the
exception of a small difference in the
brogue. 1t seemed queer that we, who
came from nearly opposite sides of the
world, should meet in France, "a for
eigni country to both, and yet be able
to understand each other. They were
a jolly good bunch of huskies, and
seemed to TAXI the war as a joke. And
most of the Wyoming boys seem to
take it the same way, for when we were

The relation of the Quakers and the
world war was discussed at length In
open parliament held Saturday morn
ing at the Young Friends conference
at Earlham The discussion was very
informal and many persons gave their
views. Many expressed the view that
the quakers are opposed to war as
such and not to the unpleasantness Of
it, and that the training and the pre-
vious thought that they have had up
on the subject before the present cri-
sis has much to do with present views
when the question Of right and
wrong comes up" said delegate, ''the
big thing g the saving Of the world.
The salvation Of the sould will take
