Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

f by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbIing sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to it's
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 mucous
surfaces 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

CROPS AND MEALS

Don t take crop forecast for fact
accomplished.
From all appearances we are going
to have bumper wheat crop. Winter
wheat looks better with every succeed
ing estimate and may easily reach a to-
tai of 6OO,0O0,O00 bushels or more.
Spring wheat has fine start and may
amount to more than 300,0Oo.O0O bush
els. With a total of 900.0O0.0O0 to
l,oo0.oO0,000 bushels, making 100000
900 to 400,000,000 more than last year
aud with corresponding indications
from Canada Argentina and Australia
there is no fear of starvation in the
allied countries after the harvest.
1t is still some weeks to harvest time
Australian and Argentinian wheat has
been harvested, but ships are not We,
available for carrying it. France, Eng
land, Belgium and other allied countries
are pcrilously near starvation. Their
only hope Of holding out depends on oul
proper use of the wheat we have left
over from last year.
This means further economy. 1t we
do not want to help the Germans by
adding famine to our foes, we must
save wheat, morning, noon and night
to provide the necessary store for ship
ment to Europe.
1t is merely a question Of using Ger
tain plentiful, palatable and nourishine
cereal and vegetable foodstuffs instead
of wheat But it is question of lif,
or death to our allies-and perhaps il
the long run a question of life or deatE
for us.

Rev. Henry w. Pinkham, the minister
whose resolution for declaring Christian
brotherhood with ministers and others
of Germany was rejected by the Uni
tartan association, has hired Steinert
hall in Boston for, Sunday services. He
conducted his first one there last Sun
day, and had a congregation of 46
persons. Rev. Charles F. Dole offered
prayer. Rev. Mr.. Pinkham had a pc
tition prepared which be asked all
present to sign. The petition was to
President Wilson, asking him to seek
persistently from all the belligerent
nations consent to an immediate ar
mistice and pledge to settle all exist
ing controversies by negotiation or ar
bitration. The signers were asked to
subscribe to the belief that western
civilization was imperilled by the pro.
longation of the war. 1t has come to
be accepted that Rev. Mr.. Pinkham and
Rev. Mr. Dole are incorrigible, and arc
not to be dissuaded from this kind OF
drivel 1t makes one weary to thinl
that there were 46 persons who gave t.
the former Merose minister the coun
tenance of their presence.

Taxation of Standing Timber.

In discussing the question of the tax
alton of standing timber which has been
sold and conveyed without the real
estate on which it stands, Charles A.

the listers of the state that this class
of property is not real estate, but per

Standing timber that has been sold
and conveyed without the land is to
be taxed and set in the list to the

THE TURNING POINT.
Fate of the Civilized World May Be
Decided in Next Two Months.

Careful estimates of the world s food
supplies show beyond question that
famine. gaunt and stark starvation, arc
not only threatened but impending I'M
less strict conservation is practiced. This
is not the hysterical utterance of the
alarmist, but the deliberate conclusion
of officials who are keeping accurate
records of the supply and demand of
foodstuffs.
If the food supplies of America can
be stretched out until August / so the
allies and their armies can be properly
fed and at the, same time the popula-
ton of the United States taken care
of, the war car be won and an enduring
peace assured.
But the price of victory must be
greater conservation than has yet been
praeticed. 1t means that people at home
must use less wheat, sugar, fats and
meats.
The next two months vii tell the
story.
The United States food administration
makes an urgent personal appeal to
every Vermonter to use substitutes for
these four kinds of food. Plenty of sub
stitutes are at hand. Potatoes can take
the place of wheat and plenty of sub
stitute cereals also are available. Meat
can be replaced by milk, cheese, beans,
beas, eggs and nuts. The consumption
of butter, lard and animal fats can be
must bc-reduced and pastries re-
quiring much sugar can be discontinued
until conditions change.
The whole world is looking to Ameri-
ca to win the great cause.

the United States in the child labor
case enunciates a broad doctrine of
state rights. Four of the justices of
the court, it will be noted, held opinions
dissenting from the majority The de-
cision can be quoted against the nation
al prohibition amendment and it hits
directly the scheme now pending in con-
gress against prison labor.
