by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There Is only one way to cure ca tarrhal deafness, and that is by con stltutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness IS caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tuoe. When this tube is inhamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result. Unless the in hammation 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 ar inf1amed condition ct the mucous surfaces.

Four Shows at the Auditorium roda

Four Shows at the Auditorium Today
 Over the Top, one of the best shows so far produced by the Broadway Re- Vue. continues to delight the patrons of the Auditorium. It will be repeated twice this afternoon and evening. The play is written around several raw recruits who are taking their first military instructions and their mis- understanding of orders is a scream. There is just enough plot or story to carry the play through with a Whirl- wind dash and gives plenty of scope for the comedians to get in their good work which they take full advantage of. The musical numbers include the latest hits and are beautifully cos- tuned. The opening chorus on the Winter Garden order is making big hit and is well received. It is quite a novelty and deserves special men, ton likewise the pick out number where each girl picks out her own song. The entire show is clean, not a word or action to offend. The com cdy parts are well handled by Bill Jennings, Sidney Rogers and Billy Barnes. Both the Misses Webb and Carroll scored in their singing and dancing specialties.
 The Vitagraph feature picture, The Business of Life, featuring Alice Joyce Is one of the best shown at this house ln some time. The charming love story contained therein is full of pathos and heart interest from start to finish. It is the kind of a picture that appeals to women where faith in mankind is justly rewarded.
