Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
n that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is cause by an infamed condi-
tion of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, n when 1t is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result; and
unless tn Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in

Monday evening DR.. w. F.
Chenoweth was summoned by
telegraph to Santa Ana by Mr..
J. M. Federico, whose daughter
was very i'll with typhoid fever,
the call being very urgent. So
with his office assistant, Mr..
David Martinez, the doctor
started about 9 o'clock at night,
in an automobile, and made the
run to the town mentioned, a
distance of 62 miles. After
giving the sick child all the
treatment his skill and know
ledge called for, the doctor
started on his return. Through
much tire trouble there was
great delay, and the two did
not reach home until about 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon.

School House Invaded.

School opened yesterday at
Calabasas. It should have
opened the day before, but the
vacation tenants of the build
ing objected to leaving.
The tenants referred to were
honey bees, an immense swarm
of which had taken possession
of the school house during the
summer. When the time came
for the opening of school, and
the building was unlocked and
the janitor started cleaning up
preparatory to the event, the
bees objected.
A council of war was held,
and as result the building was
smoked, and dosed with for
maldehyde, and dosed with va
rious other drugs supposed to
be capable of making any bee on
earth desert it's happy home.
Apparently the unwelcome oc-
cupants were driven out.
But when the building was
opened up Monday morning,an
the bell was rung to call the
youngsters, the bees responded
instead. They came with far
more enthusiasm than could
have been expected from the
legitimate pupils. Not only
that, but they absolutely re-
fused to recognize the authori-
ty of the teacher or submit to
school discipline. In fact, they
did their best to start a rOugn
house.
There was more dosing"
and the bees subsidized. But rs
soon as the bell was rung again,
they trooped forth as if they
recognized a call to battle.
Finally word of the dilema
was sent to Mrs. ]. A. Saxon,
and she directed that the door
and window castings, in the hol-
lows of which the intruders
had domiciled themselves, be
torn off and that the bees be
ousted at whatever cost. This
was done, and finally the last
of the swarm was driven out.
But it delayed the opening of
the school until Tuesday morn

Flying the Country.

Yesterday Mr.. H. C.. Harrison
was in from the r. r. R. mining
camp. Mr.. Harrison reported
that a hegira of Mexicans is be-
ing experienced at his camp,
and at Duquesne. He stated to
a representative of The Oasis
that he had heard that the
same trouble is experienced at
Duquesne, and both camps are
working shorthanded. The
cause of the migration is re-
ported to be a fear of the opera
ton Of the new draft law. In
spite of assurances that aliens
will not be drafted, the Mexi-
cans are dubious, and they are
playing safety first"
But a week ago Mr.. Harrison
returned from the Brownsville
country, where he visited his
son, Capt. H. L. Harrison, intel
ligence officer. Mr.. Harrison
stated that there, and all along
the border coming home, he
found the same conditions
MeXicans are fleeing to their
native land, taking with them
what they can carry, while
their sole and only reason for
the change is their fear
that the new draft law will take
them. The border states are
losing thousands of people
though that same fear.

PROCLAMATION.
Of Major General w. A. HOl-
brook, Commanding Southern
Department, to the Mexican
Citizens residing in the states
of New Mexico, Arizona, Ok
lahOma, and Texas.


For several days German
propagandists have been busy
circulating rumors among the
Mexican population about the
registration. These rumors are
baseleSS, malicious and untrue.
AS a result some of them are
quitting unusually profitable
employment, sacrificing Their
property and other interests,
and leaving with their families
for Mexico.
This proclamation is issued
for the purpose of enabling all
MeXicans to clearly understand
the policy of the United States
Government in this matter.
The Selective CONSUMPTION
Law requires the registration
of all male residents on Septem-
Der IL, 1918, between the ages
of eighteen and twenty-one and
thirty-one and fortyf-ive. Reg.
istration, however, is not con-
scription.
Rumors that Mexican citi-
zens will be drafted are false.
This applies likewise to aliens
of all other countries. Do not
sacrifice your interests because
of false German propaganda.
Registration is required but
that means protection for the
aliens from the draft. All that
is necessary for a Mexican cit
liens to do to secure exemption
is to establish his Mexican citi-
zenship. Officials, attorneys
and other patriotic citizens will
assist those Mexicans who do
not understand our language to
prepare Questionaires in which
their claim for exemption will
be properly set out.
In order to properly estab-
fish your Mexican citizenship,
those who can do so should have
with them their birth certifi-
Gates. In the event that this
certificate is not at hand, it is
suggested that you secure affi-
davits from two reliable wit
nesses concerning your birth
place or such other evidence as
is available. Citizenship can al
so be established by the fact
that you have been properly
matriculated at your nearest
Mexican consulate.
Labor at this time is being
paid unheard-of prices. En-
ployment is plentiful. Business
conditions are good and the
country is prosperous. Those
who remain in addition to ben
efiting themselves will be edo
ing their bit" toward winning
the war against autocracy. It
is the desire of the Government
to continue to extend to Next
cans all the rights and liberties
which heretofore influenced
them to come within our bor-
ders.
Do not be deceived by these
or other false rumorS which
will be circulated by German
propaganda. Consult your con-
suls also prominent American
citizens of Mexican descent
when doubts arise. Consult
YOUR own interests and those of
YOUR families and stick to your
employment and hold on to your
property and business.

| MONTH SUSPENSION.
! OF MEATLESS DAYS
Lack of Storage Facilities and Ship
ping Facilities Given as Reason
for Suspension.

Washington, March 29.-Sus pension
of the meatless day regulations for 90
days, beginning tomorrow. was order
ed tonight by the food administration
in instructions telegraphed to all
State food administrators.
Temporary relaxation of the restric-
ton was decided upon because thou
sands OF hogs are coming into the

beyond the country's shipping and
storage capacity. In statement an
nouncing the order, Food Administra-
tor Hoover expressed confidence that
the producers would not take advant-

fair prices and that "the packers and
retailers will have sense enough tc
realize that this is not to be holiday

supplies during the winter months,
car shortage still continues, Mr.. Hoov
er said, "and seems likely to 90 on
for another 80 days. After this period
the seasonable shortage in marketing
will set in.
ct is matter Of regret that the
extent of our domestic storage capa-
city, the limited overseas and inland
transportation and port facilities do
not permit of saving and moving the
whole OF this abnormal supply to the
allies for use when this heavy killing
season has passed"
The consumer should not take this
announcement as in any way depar-
ture from the general principles Of
conservation of all foods which the
food administration breaches"
