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 catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dltion, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness is caused by ca
tarrh, which is an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

SERVICE-AND ITS MEANING.

February and March, 1918, though
they were the hardest, coolest, rainest
two months of my life, were also the
happiest | had been preaching Service
all my life, but never knew what hard
ship and suffering were until that great
experience came to me. | never knew
before what it was to lift such heavy
loads that my ankles were strained all
the time; nor to have my hands cut to
pieces handling duck boards; nor to have
my whole body ache with mental and
physical WEAKNESS. l never knew the
meaning of Come unto me all We that
labor and are heavy laden, though | have
preached on it good many times The
next time preach from that text shall
remember $50 pound boxes of chocolate
that unloaded from box cars day after
day. l shall remember the Sunday that
it showed all day and we had three cars
of tent poles, flooring, and hut material
to unload, including twenty-five heavy
stoves. Service will have a new mean
ing for me in the years to come, and the
men who serve the world in hard Cruel
ing tasks new glory. "-"What Has

The Investigate of MT. Baker

Any investigation of the conduct of the war de- partment such is proposed can only entail a of time It proved that Secretary the war, he has been since he was incompetent grossly and pitfully There is no need of further proof The country has already formed that verdict of the secretary.
 The investigation cannot bring back the country's squandered millions It restore to life those soldiers who sacrifices to the blunderng of the war department. Nor, can it be reasonably expected that it would result in the reform of Baker That self satisfied individual is convinced that he conducted the affairs of department with super human wisdom.
 On the other hand, the investigation may do posi- tive harm while there possibility that it will do any good. Instituted by republicans, the people might regard it a partisan undertaken to discredt the administration, Such an effect would be only against the republican party but doubt would be raised whether Baker really as incom- potent the country believes him to be-
 That he so, there is at present no doubt; there he has brought upon the administration is already there. It cannot be added but it may easily be diminished neutralized if it could be to ap- pear that partisan animosty is behind investga- tion of the affairs of the department
 As a partisan move alone it would be far better let, the secretary waow undisturbed the bed he has made for himself

It is almost certain that Victor Berger will be elected to the house of representatives from the Mill Saukee district.

There were superfluous candidates how aver{ that the contest straight one between Berger and his opponent It is hardly to be supposed hat with the candidates in the field at the real election the result will be reversed.
 Berger has been charged with an offense against the United States akin to He is under bond in the of nearly sl5OoOO.

INFECTION FROM x-RAY BURNS
(NeW York Worldl


 Dr. Francis LeRoy Satterlee of Flushing has about decided that in order to check the spread of infection springing from an X-ray burn of twen ty-two years ago he will have his right arm amputated at the shoulder.
 Five amputations in the last three years have failed to retard the tnfec- ton and specialists with whom Dr. Satterlee has taken up his own case have advised the removal of the arm
 Dr. Satterlee was a pioneer Roent genologist If course of time effects of the exposure to the rays developed, and on the middle finger of his right hand wartlike growths appeared. They were treated with what seemed to be success, but in 1916 it became neces- sary to adnputate the first phalanx of the finger. Then the second phalanx was removed, and October F of that year the last of the finger was cut away. Dr. Satterlee himself directed the application of the local anesthetic and the operation, and when it was over walked to his home.
 Within the last two years two fur ther amputations have been performed on Dr. Satterlee's hand, extending the section well into the palm of the hand. Even this heroic method, however, has failed to check the spread of the in lection.
 For the last twenty years Dr. Sat . terlee has been among the foremost radiologists in the United States.

membership and the Milwaukee district will still be left without representation.
 Of the socialists understand that. Their persistence in supporting Berger against the United States is only another indication their unfitness to be United States citizens They in spirit as alien if they lived beyond the borders of the country The socialist victory in Milwaukee will only that majority of the people that district do not deserve representation in the house.
 Berger without equivocation concealment up- holds the principles of socialism. He the avowed enemy of American institutions He denounced the war against Germany, denounced the American gov ernment a government of putocracy subservient to profiteers denounced American laws as fool ish and the American constitution futile denounced the American president hypocrite and a po- itical turncoat denounced the selective service all other measures designed to promote American victory He urged and preached opposition to war
 That record will stand against Berger in the next congress just plainly it did in the last for that, the socialists do victory will be a socialist victory.

 Where living is pleasant toll honorable, and recreation plentiful;
 Where capital is respected, but not wor- shipped;
 Where commerce in goods is great but no greater than the interchange of ideas;
 Where industry thrives and brings pros perty alike to employer and employed: Where education and art have place in every home;
 Where worth and not wealth gives standing to men;
 Where the power of character lifts men to leadership;
 Where interest in public affairs is test of citizenship and devotion to the public veal is a badge of honor;
 Where government is always honest and efficient and the principles of democracy find their fullest and truest expression;
 Where the people of all the earth can come and be blended into one community life and where each generation will vie with the past to transmit to the next city greater, better and more beautiful than the last

In conse- quence, Grant did not know what to do except to put Yamashita on his back, and Yamashita was perfectly content to be on his bac,,.

So far this made | it evident that the jiu jitsu man could l handle the ordinary wrestler.

NEW HARDsHlPs FOR ST. LOUIS
CFrom the St. Louis Times)

(From the St. Louis Times)
 There is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among the lovers of pumpernickel in St. Louis, for the only genuine pumpernickel maker in the city has gone out of business.
 For the benefit of the uninitiated, let it be said that pumpernickel is a black bread, in the shape of brick. and all most as hard. Though it's appearance is not attractive to the gourmand, 1t has been cherished by the Teutons as a delicacy since the middle ages. and in this country it has occupied a con- spicuous place in the wares of many delicatessen stores and groceries.
 For thirty five years William J. Dierich was the only man in St Louis who baked pumpernickel, enjoying an uncontested monopoly of the trade. He has been in ill health for the last two years and few days ago he decided to quit for good. It is understood he will move to a recently purchased | farm

Yesterday was a fairly satisfactory day for the Empty Stocking Club. The names of eight more children whose tocskings should be filled. Seven of them are of one family of whom the eldest. a girl has written. She wants something useful and leaves that to Santa Claus. The youngest of the family is a baby one year old. The writer very much regrets that she is not able this year to help some children poorer than herself.
 Another letter is from a little girl of 1. an orphan both of whose parents died of the influenza last year.
 The membership of the club also grew. The morning mail brought a contribution of s5 from Mrs, Nellie Barton. There was also $1 from Hazel Kinney and lady who declined to give any other name than Cash" left a dollar.
 The following offer of help was re- cefved by the Empty Stocking Club from Mack Gardner:

 Gentlemen:
 I have been in bed for a day or two resting up after a brief illness and have had lot of time to read about your Empty Stocking club. It is a won- derful work and nobody can help but wish it well. Will you accept this let ter as authorization to add my name to your list of folks who want to fiji empty Christmas stockings. l want tC

give $50 and I would like to do it in this way:
 Le me go out with your committee which is going to deliver the stuff to fill the stockings on Christmas morn ing to the homes of ten poor children and will give each one of them s5 in gold.
 I prefer to give the cash as in that way will let the folks use the money for their own best advantages.
 To make this little gift to those who need it will be the most enjoyable part of my Christmas day pleasures.
 Yours respectfully,
 tSigned) MACK GARDNER.
 But that was not all. A young lady called upon the club with delightful offer to help. She would like to have children whose names have been pre- sented to the club to be her guests at a dinner on Christmas eve. There were also to be Christmas tree which will bloom with presents for all. There will be a meeting of the ex ecutive meeting of the club at the chamber of commerce at O clock this afternoon, called by President J. T.

Whitney. The other members of the committee are Miss Gilchrist of the Associated Charities; A. T. Esgate of the Valley bank and Commandant John Westacoat of the Salvation Army. Plans will be taken up for the distri- button of Christmas among the chil- dren whose names have come to the Empty Stocking club.
 But there are not enough names yet There must be many more in Phoenix who should be cared for. We are sure there are many more and we trust that within the next day or two they may be brought out to the club. The mem bers of the club would feel very sorry if they should find out after Christmas is over that any poor child has been overlooked

MOVIES AND LIFE

Some day some wise old man, with chin whiskers and half the alphabet after his name will write about ten volumes of psychological philosophical stuff about the scientific and bachelor -degreed sharp to that beyond the shadow of doubt, the movies have had and having peneficient nfu- ence upon American life.
 That sounds perhaps somewhat like broad statement but what -visaged fanatics may say the contrary, it is the truth. The movies may give exaggerated ideas about some things-the wild, temptestuous life of the cowboy, for instance or wiles of the virulent vampire but all these things aside the movies have done and are doing immensely more good than they do ing harm.
 Let's look into the matter for just moment or two The movies we find do their good among families Husbands who used to take their wives anywhere in the days before screen entertain ment now take Friend Wife regularly week more to the Neighborhood Playhouse Parents who formerly had very little in with their child ren now enjoy the pictures much as their young stes frequently take the children to the theater with them. Grandfnothers, who used to think their days were past vie with their children in their ad- miration for the leading stars.
 Never has there been anything which gave families such wholesome, pleasant entertainment and which has brought families such delightful com- mon interest And if that isn't having mighty ben- efficient influence upon American lite, what is?
