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. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case

AMERICANS FROM ALL
LANDS HELP LOAN
Folk Songs, Dances and Sports in Gala
Effort Of Foreign Division Of
Four Liberty Loan.

"The Star-Spangled Banner" sung In
English by chorus of more than thir'
~ persons, none of whom are of the
same nationality and most of whom
are foreign-born; the troll call of ma
tions," directed by the only simon
pure American, an Indian; nationalist
ic demonstrations of the history,
sports, art and industries of the peO-
pies of every corner of the world ;
unique displays OF the quaint customs
and habits of many races differing
widely in almost every way; these and
many other striking features have
been taken unto themselves by the
woman's council OF the fourth Liberty
loan organization as part of their
share in raising the billions for the
fourth loan. To handle this work COM
mittees OF foreign-speaking women
have been formed in every state, coun-
~ and other subdivision. The loan
opens September % and continues I'M
til October 10.
According to Felix J. Streyckmans,
federal reserve director of the foreign
language division, and Mrs. Constan-
tine Howard, executive secretary or
the woman's council, some idea of the
stupendous task which the women OF
the foreign division have set out for
themselves can be gained from the
fact that virtually all that the mem
hers of their choruses and other par
Elephants in the pageants which are
TO be given have in common is that
they are all Americans now.
In placing before the public the roll
call of nations" every nationality in
each district, state, county. city and
town will be asked to designate one
person to represent that nation in the
dress of his o. her native land. They
will also be asked TO sing their native
airs or relate some Of the folk lore OF
the country which they or their an
cestors left. Native dances, sports
and games will also be on the pro-
gram.
The food question being one of the
most important before the world to-
day. the women of the foreign-lan-
guage division believe that there is
much TO be learned from conserva-
ton and economic standpoint from the
foods used and methods of prepare
ton employed in the Kitchens of the
foreign-speaklng woman. To this end
every nationality represented in a
community is TO prepare food exhib-
it 10 show Engush-speaking Ameri-
cans how they can save to help win
the war.
That the all-AmeTiCan chOruses, roll
calls, pageantS and exhibits shall have
proper artistic setting, the wOman's
council has secured the services Of
Pierre Nuyttens. celebrated Chicago
artist. as consulting director of the
council Nuyttens will also be chair
man of the councils committee on pro
ductiOn of spectGcles.
There is no greater force toward
the final welding of the American soul
than by bringing together for patri-
otto purposes the foreign-speaking
persons of the country" says Mrs.
Howard.

Washington Hears Varying Views Of
Political Contests in Several States
William 3. Walton of New Mex

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

WashingtOn.-The way people ac-
cppted the new tax bill was credit to
the patriotism of the entire country. II
might have been supposed that after
the revenue bill was reported TO the
house and its contents known there
would have been a rush TO Washington
and great demands upon the finance
committee for notifications. But the
rush did not come. The people who
were taxed simply accepted the inevi-
table with the idea that they would do
their bit without grum5ling. Never
before was there q similar situation In
regard 10 q revenue bill. When the
last revenue bill passed the house
there was claInor at the doors of the
finance committee by hundreds Of PEG.
pie asking that changes be made.
Those who appeared at that time were
fully convinced that if the taxes i'm
posed upon them should be collected
they would be unable to carry on theiI
business. But they found they have
got along and the whole country seems
to have realized that ii will be able TO
get along, no matter what may happen
In the way of taxation.
Even in time of the most interest
ing war conditions political topics fire.
quently come to the front. 1t has been
a regular system in Washington 10 in
terview men who come from different

for the benefit of the residents of the
national capital. And so on this &C
count we read one day that Al Smith.

comes some man who probably has a
different view of politics. Gerard had

Washington is naturally interested
In various political contests, but gen
orally more in states where there are
senatorial contests and in those states
we find rather eXtravagant claims. \
member Of the cabinet talks confident
ly about securing two Democratic sen
stOrs in New Hampshire, one to ill
the vacancy caused by the death Of
Senator Gallinger and the other TO
succeed Senator Hollis. The same man
claims that Henry Ford Will be elected
as Democrat in Michigan. On the
other hand we hear men claim that
Landstrum will be elected over Sena-
tor Walsh In Montana, while there are
various predictions as 10 the outcome
in Illinois. Take il all in all. we can
fully realize here in the national CAPT
tai that there is quite an interesting
political contest going on in various
states.

from the U. S. S. Lorraine on June %,

On hearing the cry, IMAM over

the promenade deck Of the vessel, 30
feet, and supported the soldier, who
had been stunned by his fall into the
water. A swift tide carried both men
a third of mile from the Lorraine by
the time a lifeboat reached them.
During this time the soldier twice re-
er and sank, but Lieutenant Shirk
dived and brought the man back to

ing action, and has recommended to
the secretary OF the treasury that

The recent creation Of motor trans
