mans Decision,

Washington, Dec. 6.-Representative
Garter Glass, Virginia, was nominated
by President Wilson to be secretary
Of the treasury, in succession to Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo.
Mr.. Glass will go into office Deem
Der 16, under an agreement with Sec
rotary NcAdoO, whose resignation was
accepted by the president, to take eff
feet upon the appointment and quail
fication of his successor.
The nomination, which had been
prepared by President Wilson before
his departure Tuesday night, was sent
from the White House on word from
Mr.. Glass that he would accept the
post.
Mr.. Glass resignation as a member
of the house, to which he has just
been reelected after eighteen years Of
service, will be offered in a few days.
He is chairman of the committee on
banking and currency.
No change in policy of the treasury
are To be expected at present, if at
all, Mr.. Glass said. His relations with
Secretary McAdoo have been close
and he is familiar with treasury af-
fairs, although he has been absent on
a "trip to Europe for several weeks.
The principal task relates TO the
continued financing of the war. Mr..
McAdoo already has announced plans
for at least one more large bond issue
in the spring. The bonds to be of
short maturities. The floating Of
short term certificates in preparation
for this loan probably will continue.
The secretary of the treasury is a
member eX-officio of the federal re-
serve board and has a large part in
guiding its policies. Mr.. McAdoO has
advocated the policy of giving banks
rather free hand in the conduct Of
their business, with a minimum Of re-
StrictiOnS by the reserve board. Mr..
Glass, as one Of the originators of the
reserve system, has concurred gene
rally in this attitude.
The new secretary will be confront
ed with the work Of the war finance
corporation during the reimbursement
period He becomes automatically
the chairman of the American section
Of the international high commission.
1t is charged with the duty of
strengthening business and financial
relations between the United States
and Latin American countries.
Secretary McAdoo expressed gratifi
cation over Mr. Glass appointment.
He was sure it would give great salts
faction TO the entire country:
THE tremendously important part
he had in the formation and passage
of the federal reserve act, his famili-
arity with banking and economic prob
lens, growing out of his long service
In congress, have earned for him the
confidence of the financial and bust
ness interests Of the country, as well
as all classes of the people He has
unusual qualifications for the great

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 catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it i sentire-
ly closed, Deafness is the result. I'm
less the Inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed

caused by catarrh, which is an in
