Our War Debt

1t will cost the American people
about Sl,2OO,O0O year for the next
% years to pay off the war debt, ac-
cordlng to estimates of the Treasury
based on incomplete knowledge of pre-
cisely what the final war debt will be.
This calculation is made on the as
sumption that the war debt, with de-
auctions for loans to the Allies, will
be in the neighborhood of $lS,OOO,0oO
600. Interest on this amount at the
rate of / IA per cent. would be $765,-
100000 a year to be raised by taxes,
and then repaid to bondhoders In
addition about 100000 would have
to be provided every year as a sinking
fund to redeem al bonds in % years.

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 a constitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachlan Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result. Unless the infam-
nation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by ca
tarrh. which is an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine acts thru 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 Catar-
rh Medicine. Circulars free. All
