Catarrhal Deafness Cannot he Cured

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot He Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure catar-
rhal deafness, and that Is by a con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal deaf
ness Is caused by an inflamed condi-
tion Of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
ta"hian tube. When this tube Is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be Ne
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 through the blood on the mu-
cOus surfaces OF the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

PRICES SEED PRODUCTS FIXED.
Action Practically Sets Price to he
Charged for Raw Seed.
(The State. }


The following facts are probably
not thoroughly understood by the
farmers and merchants who produce
and handle cotton seed:
At the request Of the United States
Food Administration, WASHINGTON,
the price of crude cotton seed oil has
been fixed at $1.43k per gallon, and
at the request of the food adminis-
tration, the crushers voluntarily
agreed to fix the price Of standard
cotton seed meal at S4S50 per ton in
wholesale quantities Of ten tons or
more, and $51 per ton for retail
quantities less than ten tons.
The price Of linters is 5A cents
per pound, delivered Hopewell, Va,
netting the mills approximately 434
cents per pound f. o. b. mills; and
the price of bulk hulls is $40 per
ton. The price of linters has been
practically fixed by the po owder manu-
facturers.
The crude oil mills are operating
under license of the United States
Food Administration and are called
upon to submit semi-monthly reports
to Washington, showing their pur-
chases of cotton seed. production and
sales of products. and complete in
formation showing the cost of operat-
ing; and these semi-monthIy state
ments must be promptly submitted
on the first and 18th Of each month,
covering the preceding 10 days ope-
rations, and such statement must
be sworn to in the presence Of no.
tary public.
There are certain rules promulgat-
ed by the United States Food Admin
VI nj hD
rigidly observe, as follows:
Rule No. 12: "No lincensee shall
sell in car lots at more than 50 per
ton, exclusive Of customary loading
charges, over the price which he paid
for cotton seed.
This rule applies to licensed GIN
ners, merchants or seed buyers, who
purchase cotton seed from the pro-
ducers, reselling to crushers.
Rule No. IA: No Hoensee engaged
In the business OF crushing cotton
seed shall pay higher prices for cot
ton seed In one market than he does
in another market, considering the
quality Of the seed purchased to be
the same.
This rule, promulgated by the Uni
ted States Food Administration, pro-
hibits crusher from paying higher
prices in any local market than he
pays elsewhere. This rule prohibits
any mill from attempting to average
the cost Of it's seed by paying a
higher price for cotton seed in one
market than 1t does in another.
The United States Food Admins
tration, Washington, has fixed the
gross margin of the crusher at $13
per ton, including cost and profit,
and mills are prohibited from buying
cotton seed without main aiming the
spread Of $13 per ton rs fix ri by the
food administration.
The prices Of the products of cot
ton seed having been fixed, and the
gross margin of the crusher estab-
lished by the United States Food Ad-
ministration, the resultant price oc
the raw material, cotton seed, may be
considered as being practically auto
matically fixed in accordance with the
value Of the products, as the crude
mills cannot look forward to an en-
hancement Of the value Of products.

CHASER HAD A HARD TRIP.
Engines Disabled i'm Storm, Sails
Rugged from Bed Coverings.

Washington, Feb. 27--Safe arrival
iat an European port OF 110-foot
submarine chaser with French crew
aboard which had not been heard
from since January Is was announc-
ed to-day by the Navy Department.
The little craft was separated from
her escort during terrific gale while
bound for Europe.
No navigating instruments were
aboard, but after being blown far off
their course, the F'renchmen estimat-
ed their position and headed for port.
To their remarkable seamanal.ip Is
attributed the success of the voyage.
Secretary Daniels announced the
news in this statement:
81 was delighted to receive a mes
sage to-day telling Of the arrival in
port Of an American-bu submarine
chaser which became separated from
her escort in the terrific blizzard of
January is, had not been reported
since that time and which we feared
was lost. This was one of the no.
foot boats which we were turning
over to the French government, and
was manned by French crew which
saved the craft by a remarkable feat
Of navigation.
In the storm, which was one Of
the worst on record, the engines were
disabled and the boat left adrift far
out at sea. The crew managed to rig
up a sail made from bed coverings
and were able to make two or three
knots an hour before the wind. There
were no navigating instruments ex-
cept q COMPASS aboard, and the crew
had to estimate their positions. They
sailed for 80 days, going on short
rations. and finally reached port"

Editor Keowee Courier: observe
that the draft law places all volun-
teers In Glass s, with idiots, crimi-
nails and preachers. Many persons
take this to indicate that they are
so classed because OF some claim for
exemption, which prevalent impress
sion seems very unfair to our volun-

I do not think the volunteer de-

he does deserve not to appear in a

HOLDUP MEN RIFLE .GINSBERG'S CASH
Youths Under 20, Unmask ed, Commit Daring Rob
 bery in Early Evening.

While people were passing on the street at 8 o'clock last night Hyman Ginsberg, who conducts fruit and grocery store at Columbia and Greg cry streets was held up in his store and robbed of more than $100.
 Ginsberg in telling his story to the police stated that the holdups wer< men he thought under 20 years N age, and that neither of the men wore a mask, or made any attempt to hide his face.
 The victim of the holdup told the police that he was working about the store when two young men entered. One of the men stepped up to him and asked for a bottle of soda water, as Ginsberg turned to get the pur- chase, one of the men pressed re- yoIver into the middle of his back and commanded that he throw up his hands.
 Turning around Ginsberg found himself looking into the muzzle of an ugly looking gun of large calibre, After driving the proprietor to the rear of the store, the other man pro- ceeded to rife the cash register.
 Luck was with the robbers as no customers entered the store during the time the robbery was staged. The police were notified and men were on the scene immediately.

His capacity for both is still good but while he keeps on eating heartily he quits the hard work and sits down to think. Naturally he gets to think ing of the question of old age; he had no time for thinking of old age when he was so active on the farm but now, | there is little else to do.
 Soon the overlooking and under exercising begin to clog up the entire system and he begins to feel old, stiff joints, possibly swollen ankles and swollen feet. Constipation troubles him and then his teeth. The eyes too ibegin to fail and he acknowledges that he Is getting old.
 | Why is it that he, who has always been so strong and rugged goes down anl so rapidly grows old, while his wife, who was never strong enough to keep up with her work, grows stronger, younger and happier? The principal reason is that she has brought with her from the farm just the right amount of work for one of her years and strength, and she has the same interest in life that she had before, plus the pleasure of more fre- quent contact with her friends and neighbors and greater opportunity for outside activities There is less of drudgery and physical weariness and more happy mental activity, while the man has dropped both mental and physical activity of the right sort and only mental activity of the wrong sort is indulged in.
