Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Icy local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that Is by 0 constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an In
Famed condition OF the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbinG sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when II 10 entirely
closed, Deafness fs the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh. which is
an inflamed condition OF the mucous sur
faces Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces OF the
system
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

PRICES FOR ALL COMMODI.
TIES ADyANCED IN APRIL

Wholesale prices for all commodi-
ties advanced one per cent. during
the month of April, according to the
figures of Dun's review, which seem
to confirm the statement recently is
sued by the U. S. Department of La
Dor.
The number of commodities ad-
yancing from week to week has been
in excess of the number of declines
through the entire month of April.
Dun's review shows, on March l the
index number for wholesale urices for
all commodities was So. per cent. I'M
der the high level of October l. On
April 1, it was 81 per cent. under
the October l figure, and, on May l.,
only AZ per cent. below it.
The belief that prices have been
stabilized has obtained widespread
acceptance in newspapers and trade
magazines that reflect varying shades
of opinion. The Federal Reserve
Board in statement concerning
business conditions, issued to the
press on May 6, commented on the
price situation as follows:
+ Possibly the most conspicuous fea-
ture of the business situation is found
in the fact that prices have apparent
ly been somewhat stabilized. Marked
declines are still reported here and
there in some special lines, but from
nearly all districts it is reported that
the uncertainty concerning prices has
been mitigated and that business men
now expect that existing levels of
prices will be substantially maintain
ed for scme time to come"

Many Of the men who are wearing
the uniform, and selling small wares
on the streets, are not entitled to it..
They wear the uniform falsely, prey
ing on the patriotic feelings of the
public in an effort to make easy
money.
The sight of these takers is parti-
cularly annoying to men who have
fought in Europe and honor the uni
form.

ed Peddlers or Beggars.

The army isn't coming home in rags
and tatters. 1t isn't public charge.
Discharged soldiers don't have to beg
or to peddle souvenirs for a living.
American Red Cross, Lake Division
headquarters, has been asked by Ma
tional Headquarters to issue this sec
ond warning to people of Ohio, In
diana and Kentucky.
1.-THE situation is becoming almost a
menace" says the order.
The American Red Cross in every
town and municipality in the three
states of the Lake Division, Is helping
the man who comes home, to take up
again the life he left to enter his coun-
try's service.
Red Cross Home Service workers
are ready to help him get job, and a
good one. II he is in need of little
ready money, or his family is suffer-
ing, the Red Cross is ready with a
loan. If he is disabled, and cannot go
back to the old line of work, the gov
eminent will train him for something
else. It isn't necessary for him to
beg, or to sell post cards, buttons or
any kind Of souvenirs.
Most of the uniformed peddlers are
fakirs. They have no right to the uni
form they are wearing. Many OF them
have never been inside an army camp
But 1t is fairly easy to fake a uniform
and get easy money from the patriotic
public. Don't encourage the man who
commentaries his country's uniform
Don't buy his wares

The Model 80 Overland, which
started out last Saturday evening to
break a world record for a nom
stop 7-day high gear run, was tenn
porarily put out of commission by
the breaking of the gas line this
morning at 1.40 o'clock in the vicin-

hap will put it out of the official
nonstop competition for the world
record estab blished by the Oklahoma
car, the local car will continue the
run as originally scheduled. The
gas line was repaired during the
night and the car resumed it's run
this morning and will regularly re-
port at the control station at the
Harrisburg Telegraph building as
heretofore.
Despite the fact that time was lost
during this breakdown and the acct
dent of several days ago, the local
car at 10 o'clock this morning was
140 miles ahead of the record of the
Oklahoma car for the same period
of time.

Canton Banks Case Against

TO Be Argued in L. S. Court

John SHELTON Williams, Comptrol-
Ter of Currency, is named as the de-
fcndant in a case scheduled to he
argued before Federal Judge {. B.
Wilmer in Federal Court thus after
noon, brought by the First National
liank OF Canton, which prayS for an
injunction restraining the comptrol-
Ter from calling upon them for GER
tain reports which they allCgc it
would be hardship TO obtain. y
300-pagc bill of equity was filed in
the case.
1t is understood that the case is
the outcome of friction between
Comptroller Williams and Congress
man MCFadden and has been aired
on the floor of the House of Repre-
aentativos in Washington. The Con-
gresham has blocked the Comptrol-
Ter in certain measures. it is charged.
and the call for reports is character
iZcd as Il way to rctaliatc by in
ilicting hardships on a bank with
which the Congressman is asSoCiat-
ed. 1T is alleged this is Williams
way of prosecuting McFaddcn.
Williams Defense
a special agent of the Department
of Justice arrived in Harrisburg to-
day 10 take up the case for the de-
tense. II is said the argument TO
be presented by him will be that the
same report was called for all ma
tional banks and that it will be just
AS easy for the Canton Bank to get
it as ii was for others.
The United States Marshal, james
T.. MaEce, served the summons on
Comptroller Williams to District At
torncy Rogers l. Burnett He also
mailed copies to the Comptroller and
to the United States District Marshal
for the District of Columbia, to en-
sure the service.

Appeal to Save DOgwoOd
From Thieving Pedestrian

Park Department officials have APP
pcaled to persons who stroll through
Wildwood Park not to break off
branches of dogwoOd trees, which
are in blossom now. Each year Il
number of trees are damaged because
limbs are torn off by persons in or
der to get the flowers. Several of

to be replaced in former years.
Within a day or two the golden
spirea along some Of the hills on the
east side of wildwood Lake will be
in bloom. The officials have also re-
quested that none Of these should be
damaged and ask everyone not to
break OF any flowers or destroy any
plants in the park.

ditions worllmcn employed by the de-
partment are doing some planting IN
