CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the
ear. There is only n way to cure
catarrhal 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 inflameo you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result. Unless the in
fammation can be reduced and this
tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever. Many cases Of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
through the blood OF the mucous
surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Catarrhal Deaf
ness that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free.

Gen. Crowder has estimated that
probably three-quaurters of a million
men will be added to the American
Army by the new registration. His
estimate is based on the fact that al
most 100000 mel registered last
year. This number included all be-
tween the ages of FL and 81, and
statistics collected by Gen. Crow
der's office show that a little more
than 10 per cent. of these men were
Fl years old. On that basis it is
estimated by draft officials that the
total registration will exceed 1,000,.
900, of which 100000 will be avail
able for military service. This makes
proper allowances for physical de,
fectives, exemptions because of de-
pendents, and other bars to military
service.

Washington, May 31.-Every
horse and mule with the American
evolutionary forces is to have a
gas mask. . The gas defense service
is now manufacturing 5000 masks
daily and large shipments to France
are being made, the War Depart
ment announced today. The type of
the mask that will protect the
dumb heroes from Hun gas is said
to be the most effective that has
been devised, and is capable of neu-
tralizing all known gass that affect
animals. They r so fashioned
that they can be adjusted even when
the horse or mule is without harness,
and for this reason it is believed
they will save the lives of many on
the picket line.

Keep the Teachers in the Schools
Many graduates of Winthrop COL
lege who have taught only for one
year have entered the business
world and have good government
positions in Washington. They take
these positions instead of teaching

cause many able bodied men to get
