Washington, Dec. 20-A resolution
asking the state department TO inform
the senate whether the American
peace commissioners are advocating
destruction of German warships or
other enemy property, and, if so, by
what authority, was introduced by the
minority leader, Senator Lodge, Re

a proposal. Naval officers generally
apparently do not regard the idea with
favor.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cure.

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 inf1amed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it 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
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
thru the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
