Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There il
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness.
and that il by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
perfect 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 sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system
: We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Dea fness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Cir

THE TELEPHONE SITUATION.
No. 1

The most general topic Of discus
sion in Orleans County today is the
situation created by the announced
cut in free service allowed subscrib-
ers of the New England Telephone
company after February I.
AS an example of the reduced SER
vice to be received let us refer to Bar
ton. Today Barton subscribers have
free service to approximately $500
telephones. Under the proposed
change these subscribers will have
free service to the Barton exchange
only, which now serves a few over
200 telephones. This is reduction
in service Of 1870. But the reduced
service offered Barton subscribers
does not end here because of the num-
Der of instruments sure to be ordered
out. In fact, this paper understands
the company expects and plans on
removing from 1870 to 500 of their
stations when the change is inaugur-
.ated. This, by the telephone COM
pany's own calculations, would reduce
the number of Barton subscribers to
approximately 100. This would re-
duce the service to be received by
Barton subscribers after the first of
February 2400 telephones or $3.50. In
other words, the free service offered
then will be 40 of the free service
given now.
In the telephone company's adver-
Using the statement is made that it
was faced with the alternative of
raising rentals or changing to the
proposed toll methods, because of the
increase in the cost of labor and ma
terials. 1t is not at all surprising
that the toll system was chosen. On
the basis figured above a raise in
rentals equal to the cut in free SER
vice would make the present $18
yearly service a matter of $45O.OO.
In other words, if free service to 100
telephones after February 1 is to
cost $18 the present service to $500
telephones would be worth rs times
$18, or $45O.0O.
To be sure this example is not en-
tirely fair to the telephone company
because very large percentage of
all calls are calls through the sub
scribers' exchange only, or local
calls, but the statement of the math-
ematical proposition is correct.
This paper is inclined to believe the
telephone company in the past has
been very generous in it's free SER
vice, but does believe the proposed
change is radical beyond necessity
and good business. A change which
would have given Barton subscribers
Orleans and West Glover, with a Sc
toll to Newport and other points
which are now free, and similar SER
vice at other exchanges, would have
been accepted without great disturb
ance and given relief from the exces-
sive free business now going over
the company's trunk lines between
the larger towns, thereby handicap.
ping operators and subscribers.
AS it is, this paper is inclined tt
believe there will be general revolt
unless announced proposals are mod
flied.
Next week this paper will carry
another editorial on the telephone
situation dealing with the present in
dependent company and it's possibili
ties.
