The Manganese Mines

The Manganese Mines in tht
poweli's Fort Valley, now being oper'
ated under lease by the Stockwood
Realty Corporation, Inc.. subsidiary
10 the National Carbon Company, OF
cleveland, Ohio. will stop operations
about the middle of December.
With the opening of the European
war, shipments of manganese ore from
foreign countries were cut off and 1t
became necessary to open up deposits
Ia this country. 1t was at this time
that the mines of the Powell's Fort
valley were taken over by the pres
ent operators for The purpose of keep
Ing up supply OF high grade ore for
the National Carbon Company dur
Ing the war. The need for this ore
Was augmented by the entrance of this
country into the war and the increas-
ed demand for manganese for the
manufacture of essential war sup
plies. Since the cessation of hostil-
tiles, shipments of ore are expected
from former sources, mainly the
Caucasian District of Russia. There
fore, having accomplished the object
OF keeping up a supply of high grade
ore during the war, the National Car
Don Company, being strictly manu-
featuring concern, will continue to
purchase their ore on the market and
will leave to others the mining
end. The deposit in the Little
Fort Valley has been developed
very extensively during the past three
years and yields aH exceptionally
high grade ore and it is understood
that as soon as plans can be formu-
lated, the original owners will con-
tinue the development and operation
of the property on peace time basis.
The officials of the present Com
pany desire to thank the people OF
County generally for
their hearty cooperation and interest
shown in the successful prosecution
of this work during the war.

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 ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
'inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be re.
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.
We VIII give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All

Food Products.

The world balance shoot of food
products shows shortage of three
billion pounds of fats and three
million tons of high protein dairy
foods. Among fats are included pork
products, dairy products and vege
table oils.
The world shortage of fats is ex-
planned by Mr.. Hoover as 'due
primarily to the fact that Europe has
been steadily undertaking its dairy
herd, has made steady inroads into
its herd of hogs during the war, and
to the fact that there has been a great
degeneration in the production OF
vegetable oils in certain regions
owing to the inability to secure ship.
pings"
According to Food Administrations
even with our supplies and best eff
forts, the world will be far deficient
in its normal amounts of fats for two
or three years at least.
The future of the American pro-
Queer who Is equipped for genera
farming seems to lie in liberal crops
OF meat, products and home grown
foods with which to grow live stock
economically.

"The losses in cattle In France and
