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 cartarr-
hal deafness, and that Is by eonstitu-
ional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
Is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to its nor
NAL condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrah Peafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medi

WHEN 1T WAS CALLED
HORSELESS CARRIAGE

The first New York show was held
in 1900.
In 1898 gasoline sold for 6 cents a
gallon.
The first four-cylinder car was
brought out in 1900.

country "horseless vehicle"

that a plant would be built to turn

General Nelson A. Miles, Chauncey
M. Depew and John Jacob Aston were
judges of the second automobile run
to be held in this country.
1t is hard to conceive that in 1896
there were but four automobiles in
the Omitted States.
The first long distance tour was
made from Cleveland to New York
It took from July 20 to August Z.
The first transcontinental run was
made from Cleveland to New York
and took over two months, from May

WEEK FOR FLIGHTS

Several Ladies Have Enjoyed the
Thrill Of Trip Into the
Clouds.
JAMES BREATHITT III GOES UP

Aviators Harrison and Combs are
still here and are making daily flights
from the field across the pike from
the Western State Hospital, a part
Of the hospital farms. Short flights
are made with passengers from time
to time over the lands of the Hospi-
tai, j. NJ Morris, The Southern Min
eral Co., and others owning farms in
the vicinity. Occasionally flights are
made over the city.
A good many local people have
gone up with one or the other of the
aviators.
On Saturday James Breathitt, Jr.,
went up and was put through the US
ual round of stunts. "Little Jimmy"
his five-year-old son, expressed a de-
sire to go up and was taken up for
short flight and came down dis
satisfied because he was not taken
as high as his father. His mother was
next given the same experience, 60
ing hlgh enough to loop the loop and
be given other thrills.
The same afternoon Miss Eliza
beth Mason was taken up for flight.
On Sunday afternoon a large
crowd was at the aviation field and
number of other citizens went up.
Marvin Broadhent was put through
a series of stunts that caused him to
land with a case of "seasickness,"
which lasted for some minutes.
Mrs. Andrew Sargent, Mrs. Oscar
Bass, John W. Garnett and w. w.
Barbee were others who tried a jour-
ney into the clouds and were delight
ed with the experience.
The aviators charge $15 and take
only one passenger at time.

CANNOT RANK AS DIPLOMAT
General SHUTS Disqualified Himself
By His UnseemIy Employment
of Plain Language.

The language of the law Is the most
FORMAL in the world and the most pre-
else. II seeks the definite so ardently
that, with ~ repetitions and where
asses, it confuses its own message and
only that rather perverted form of in.
tellcct the legal mind, can wind
through liz iGbyrinthine verbiage. The
language of diplomacy borrowing
something of fOrmality from the law,
is nevertheless far more dignified. The
law deals merely with estates and pTi-
vate contracts. 1t DEGREES the fate Of
the individual But the fate Of ma
tons may hang on the phraseology Of
It's greater Importance has

impaired to it's diction greater dignity.
And the purpose of words in diplomat
ic exchanges being to conceal thought,
as Talleyrand said, the language of
chancelleries is far more liquid. It
must fit the cast of the particular die
into which it is poured.
So we must conclude that General
SHUTS is not diplomat. He has not
the diplomatic method Of expression.
When the general met diplomat,
trained in the school of Metternich, to
discuss informally a separate peace
with Austria, he put the question Of
such a peace squarely to the be-
ribbOned bestarred representative.
There was hesitation and equivoca-
ton. "GOOd night !" was the generals
exclamation as he left the confused
diplomat.
General SHUTS may not wear shirt
sleeves in diplomatic councils, but
this use of the vernacular shows that
his verbiage at least takes it's coat
off. The acid touch of bit Of slang
put an end to the prolonged ambiguI-
ties and deceits of which diplomacy
is so fond.

DRY AS A BONE.

The country's dry; some gin and rye
in alleys may be peddled,
But prison waits the foolish skates
who with such trade have meddled.
The thirsty gink who seeks a drink
of soul-destroying bitters,
Must cast aside all decent pride and
herd with low down critters.
The country's dry and so am I, but
Pm a fan for water;
When heated up Lwant a cup that
doesn't make me hotter,
The 'foaming beer, all amber clear,
that bears such lurking titles,
Piles useless fat on waist and slat,
and superheads mems yitals.
The sparkling wine whose bubbles
shine like dew upon the clover,
Heats up ones veins and cooks his
brains, and leaves a fierce hang
over.
I drink from pools, for water cools
my works, by summer heated
I don't regret the era wet, when men
each other treated.
l drink from pumps and have no
dumps when rising in the morning;
No stomach throes, and my red nose
is not a horrid warning.

crooks bisect the smiling valleys
