Deafness Cannot Be Cured

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 in1lamed condi-

chan Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect

In Regard to Closing on Monday.
Mr.. E. E. Cooke,
Chairman Local Committee,
Charles Town, West Va.

Chairman Local Committee,
Charles Town, West Va.
Dear Sir
Replying to yours of the 10Th and
21st insts., you are advised that stores
handling food, whether grocery stores
or general stores, are permitted to re-
main open until II o'clock noon on
Mondays but for the purpose of SELL
ing food only. If necessary for the
sale of food, they may obtain author
ity from the food commissioner of
your county to remain open for the
rest of the day, but without such per-
mission cannot do so.
You will observe that the order per-
mits them to use heat for the sale of
food only. 1t would therefore, be
violation of theorder to sell anything
else. Drug stores may remain open
for the sale of medicines and drugs
all day, but are not permitted to sell
anything else. Other buildings such
as you mention which consume no fuel
of any kind could be kept open without
violating the order, but DR.. Garfield
has said that the true spirit and the
intent of the order is to have business
places closed and you should urge all
ptOplC W clNe III oP1Ii
There is no authority in the closing
order in the regulations Hereunder,
which will permit stone quarries pro-
ducing fuxing stone, to operate dur
ing these ten days. If these plants
are necessary for the operation of ex-
empted steel plants, the request for
their continued operation would have
to come from the War or Navy De-
partment.
The order has been construed by
this office to prevent the sale of can
dies, cigars and like articles under the
guise of food. Your attention is also
called to the fact that the order has
been modified to require moving pic
ture shows, theatres, billiard and pool
rooms, dance halls, ETC., to be closed
on Tuesday with permission to operate
on Monday.
Yours truly,
J. WALTER BARNES,
Federal Fuel Administrator
For West Virginia.

Not Likely To Get Much Hard Coal
Here.

Mr.. Z. E. Cooke, Fuel Administers
ter for jefferson County, has receiv-
ga letter from J. Walter Barnes,
State Fuel Administrator, stating that
it is unlikely that much Anthracite coal
lwill reach jefferson county, as fol-
lows:
january "a, 1918.
A letter has come to this office from
Mr.. L. A. Sneed of the United States
Fuel Administration at Washington
(which contains:-
"Under the present transportation
conditions it is going to be difficult to
get any particular tonnage of anthra-
cite coal for either Berkeley or Jeffer-
son counties, and it is suggested that
even though it may be inconvenient to
burn bituminous coal, this can be done
and suffering can be avoided. With
the present conditions prevailing in
the Northeastern section of the coun-
try and in Canada, where anthracite
coal is the only fuel available for do
nestle purposes, it is difficult for the
Administration to very strongly urge
the anthracite coal shipping companies
to forward anthracite tonnage into a
state which produces as much btu
minous coal as your state does, and
where either lump, flint or smokeless
coal are available"
You viii therefore, see that it is go-
ing to be very difficult, if not impos-
sible, to procure anthracite coal for
your counties.
Yours truly,
(Signed) j. WALTER BARNES,
Federal Fuel Administrator
For West Virginia.
By III. III. kase.

To f. E. Cooke,

Mr.. Cooke has taken the matter up
with the Fuel Authorities, and is do
ing all within his power to obtain at
least small quantity of hard coal
here.

Loyal Gravatt, son of Rev. w. l..
Gravatt, bishop of the Episcopal
Church in West Virginia, enlisted in
me army and worked himself up to
top sergeant. Recently he was hand
ed an honorable discharge, which he
hadn't applied for, didn't want, and
knew nothing about till it was handed
to him. His investigation disclosed
the fact that the DUPONT Powder Com
pany for which he worked before en-.
listing in the army, had asked for his
discharge, claiming that they neede1
him in their employ and must have
him in the manufacturing of munitions.
Sergeant Gravatt can't see it that way
at all. He is in Washington making
a fight to be let alone. His one and
only ambition is to meet the Hun face
to face and fight him. Congressman
Nicely is interested in trying to get
the authorities to withdraw the dis
charge and let the fighting son of the
Bishop remain in the service.

Intrastate passengers on the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Railway and the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad in West Vir-
ginia will pay two and one-half cents
per mile after February /, instead of
two cents, the rate now in effect.
The Public Service Commission last
Saturday granted the petition of the
two companies for permission to
change theirrates during the duration
of the war. Children under IL years
of age will be carried for one-half of
the prescribed rate.
Both corporations maintained in
their petitions that the legislature of
1907 which fixed the intrastate pas
senger rates at two cents per mile,
did not foresee the conditions which
have arisen in the industrial and fl
nancial fields resulting from the war.

GROCERSMEET
 TO HELP FOOD
 CONSERVATION

The splendid enthusiasm with which Phoenix merchants are cooperating with the food administration was ex- emplified in a largely attended meet ing of the recently organized retail grocerymen's association held at the Water Users building last night.
 Twelve new memberships were taken out, bringing the strength of the or ganization up to S5 per cent of the total number of grocers. More than 100 were in attendance.
 s. c. Irwin was named as permanent secretary and treasurer, and permanent headquarters were established at 71O West Adams street, telephone 1879.
 In response to inquiry from the trade, George Smalley of the food administra- ton explained a recent ruling sent out from Washington regarding the resale of eggs within the trade. There had been some misunderstanding regarding the interpretation of this ruling, he said, but the matter was cleared up in a telegram received yesterday from the food administration, Washington. This was to the effect that retailers buying eggs from farmers or taking eggs in exchange are not considered retailers but are in the class of original shippers and can sell eggs to anyone. This means that concerns which have been in the habit of buying farmers eggs from the retailer may continue the practice. Under this interpretation '' said Smalley," there is nothing to in- l terfere with the usual methods of han ding eggs followed in the Salt River valley"
 l The next meeting of the association will be held in two weeks from last night.

OLIVER HELD TO
 ANSWER CHARGE

Justice DeSouza yesterday held A. B. Oliver to the superior court on the charge of aggravated assault upon c. W. Ross and fixed his bond at S1,000. The aggravation in this case consisted in the alleged striking of the prescott ing witness with a whip which, under the laws of Arizona, is supposed to be an infliction of humiliation amounting to a felony.
 The court was in some doubt as to whether a whip had figured in the af- fray. Ross and his wife both testified that the whip had been employed and it was produced in court. Oliver and another witness denied that he had a whip and he swore that he had never before seen the whip.
 The scales were turned by the evil dence of the little seven-year- old daughter of Ross who said she first saw the whip when her mother brought it to the house after the fight. She said that her father had neither a horse, buggy nor whip. The conclusion then was that Oliver must have brought it upon the premises.
