Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured.

By local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased por-
ton of the ear. There is only one
way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an lnfamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be de-
stroved forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an intlamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. 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
Deafness that cannot be cured
by HALLS Catarrh Medicine. Cir
culars free. All druggists, 75c.

I.indbergh Taken
Out Of Campaign

That the C. A. Lindbergh cam
paign in North Dakota proved dis
astrous to the ToWnley Frazier ticket
is evidenced by the fact that Lind
bergh was taken off the stump after
he had covered about a third of his
engagements. Lindbergh, author OF
Why Your Country Is at War, re-
pudiated in Minnesota, was brought
! to North Dakota by Mr.. Townley to
campaign for Frazier, Baer and the
ticket, in compensation, it is believed,
for the lecture tours that Frazier and
Baer made in Minnesota in the inter
ests of Lindbergh. s.
Lindbergh was scheduled to speak
at Grand Forks Monday, but the
league used Socialist speaker, A. e
Bowen, to replace him, while al
Devils Lake today, where Lind
| bergh's proposed meeting had re-
suited in petition by the mothers OF
soldiers, asking that he be barred

League President Calls
Business Men "Bed

BURDTCK SAYS

lists, He Says-Many.
Quit Frazier Ticket
Especial to The Forum.)

Williston, N. D., June 25.-In a
speech delivered 10 miles southeast
of WiIliston, Sunday afternoon, A. c,
Townley proceeded to malign the
business men, attorneys, DOCTORS
BARRIERS and everybody else, with the
exception Of the farmers. His de-
nunciations were the bttterest and
most malicious ever heard from
public platform in North Dakota or
any other state.
He referred to the business men as
"leeches," and bed bugs" and
"skunks", and after describing the
manner in which the bed bug gets his
living, said he had no objection to
them except as to the manner in
which they got their living.
A Mckenzie county rancher in
quired about this time how Townley
got his living, and he replied that
he got it from the >$16 the farmers
paid the league. The rancher then
inquired why he didn't pay his debts
that he owed Mckenzie county and
- elsewhere, to which TOWnley replied
that when he finished organizing and
the program of Nonpartisan league
with it's terminal elevators, state
owned flour mills, ETC., was in opera
This answer did not satisfy the
majority of those present and Bur-
dick was called for.
Mr.. Burdick stated that if they
would let ToWnley finish his speech,
he would talk afterwards, If they
wanted him to. Townley finished his
talk and referred to Burdick as a
Good league member.
Burdick, upon taking the stand,
Immediately stated that he had been
a member Of the league, but was not
now. That every time he heard a
league speaker, he heard the legal
profession maligned and maliciously
slandered, and that he felt that he
was just as honest and conscientious
as any member Of the league.
In discussing the loyalty of the
league, he said that several had told
him they would just as soon live un-
der the rule Of the kaiser as under
Wall street. He read a portion Of
the Socialist platform adopted at st.
Louis, in which they declared against
the war and said that until the So
cialist leaders Of the league de-
nounced this platform, he could not
be a league member. He also stated |
that the business men of Williston
had extended credit to the farmers
as long as they, the business men,
had penny to do business with. He
said the bankers and business men
had stayed by him through financial
difficulties, and would stay with him
again as long as they believed him
to be honest.
Mr.. Townley tried to back up on
some of the things he had said, in |
his speech, but it was not received |
with much enthusiasm, and it is said |
that many league members declaI|ed |
they were through.
