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 a constitution
al remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is infiamed you have a
gumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
ts the result Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
through the blood on the mucous sur
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case OF Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Medicine. Circulars free. All drug
gists, Use.

shrcds: their pretensions have been
called horid and artificial.
But James O'Neiil, aud Eben Plymp-
ton, and Charles walcott, and Frank
Bangs, to mention few who survived
their artistic generation, mastered
through the ancient discipline the rich
responsibilities Of English speech.
Slovenly diction was not in their his
trionic nature. They could read jes- =
tic verse and glorify the spoken word.
Remorselcss realism has it's place and
the character acting of the period is
often uncUmmonly convincing and sure.
Amid present styles our present actors
do we'll. But they cannot catch the
vanished cadence.
O'Ncill never lost It, as was elo-
quertly demonstrated of late years in
Joseph and His Brethren" and The
Wandercr. His true distinction in
this line will perhaps outlive the faded
mclodramatics of the once immensely
popular Monte Cristo." Fittingly
enough, he died in New London, where
Mansfield sleeps.

HUSTON is INELIGIBLE

nUT of the many able engineers and
~ architects practicing their profession
in this part of the country. it ought to
be possible to pick one to design and
supervise the construction of the Della
ware river bridge who has never been
found guilty of breach of trust or served
q term'in Jail for a fraud upon the state.
Whatever the ability of Joseph NJ.
Huston--and IL is high-he ought not
even be considered among the available
candidates for this great work in view
of the fact that he was the architect
of the State Capitol and was found
guilty and sentenced TO the Eastern
Penitentiary for participation in that
notorious scandal. Mr.. Huston's fail
ure to realize the ethics involved re
fleets upon his sense Of propriety.
A man who has once made a grave
misstep should be permitted to live
down his past and encouraged in every
POSSIBLE way to re- establish himself in
the esteem of his fellow men IL he
shows himself worthy SO long az he does
not again seek TO occupy public posi-
ton similar in character to the one he
betrayed.
II Mr.. Huston were retained by the
Bridge Commission he would have su-
pervision over the expenditure of a far
greater sum of money than vas involved
In the building and furnishing of the
Gtate Capitol His public career was
rightly closed when the jail doors shut
behind him, and it ought never to be
reopened.

CHIEF WEBSTER'S IDEA

THE project for connecting League
J. Island Park and Fairmount Park
with a boulevard has not advanced be-
yond the map making stage. As origi
nally planned by the ordinance Of 1919,
the boulevard was to follow route in
which there is much improved property.
Mr., Webster, the chief Of the Bureau
Of Surveys, is now suggesting that a
different route he followed in the in e
terest of economy. His plan involves
n relocating Of Ware avenue and the
widening Of Thirty second street and
the relocation of University avenue
further westward so that il would pass
through Woodlands Cemetery. This
route, il is said, would take the bouIc-
ward almost entirely through unim
proved property and would reduce It's
cost to such a figure that the execution
of the project in the near future would
be feasible.
The boulevard would open large sec
ton to pleasure drivers and would make
Fairmount Park directly accessible t
The people OF South Philadelphia, anC
would attract to League Island Parl
thousands who have never seen tina
newest breathing place, which in few
years, when the trees are grown, will
be delightful spot. Plans which cal
be carried out should be adopted forth
with aud then quickly executed instea
of put away to molder in a pigeon
hole for another decade.

FOR SHAME, UNCLE SAM!

LIVERY electrician. every carpenter,
IL every machinist, every painter, and
plumber and every other technical eX-
pert in government employment should
receive the same wage paid to similar
men in private employment.
This is a rule to which there should
be no exception. The people have no
right to ask the men who serve them
to make financial sacrifices.
But the government does not pay the
same wage scale as private employers.
We have an example right here in Phil
adclphia at the Mint. The carpenters
there get S4.75 day, while the mini
mum wage outside is 50. The Mint
workers as n whole receive a maximum
Of S4.75 and a minimum Of $3.50 day.
Every man employed there has to
contribute to this rich nation the diff
ference between his government pay
and what he could get outside Not
only is the pay lower in the local Mint
than outside of it; it is lower than is
paid to Mint employees in San Fran
cisco. The difference is about 81 40 n
day. In order to provide the absolute
neccssaries of life the men are often
compelled to work twelve hours day
so that they may get the extra pay for
overtime.
These facts have been brought to the
attention of the director of tho Mint.
They will be brought % the attention
of the delegates to the National Fed
GRAFTON of Federal Employees in st.
Louis early in September. and the con
vention will be asked to protest against
the continuance of the humiliating con e
ditionS humiliatinS not so much 10 the
employees as to every self respecting
American citizen.
Like the postoficc, the Mint, too,
seems to have become Burlesonizcd
under the Democrats Or arc the civil
service rules so alright that the Cm
ployes need not be reckoned with po-

DR.. FURBUSH STANDS PAT

n0CTOR FTRBUSH. director of the
~ Department of Health. insists that
the employees under him are loyal to hin,
and to the administration Conse-
quently he has refused to remove any Of
them. in spite of the urging of the
Mayor.
"No designations will be asked for. -
he says, "unless by further investigation
IL Is found that employees are actually
disloyal and not living up to the re-
quirements of the civil service" "
This is the proper attitude for him
to take. His duties are to protect the
health of the city. He is indifferent tc
the factional affiliations Of the mon
under him so long as they do their
whole duty and refrain from under
mining his plans for health protection
and do not interfere with the plans OF
any other department.
Doctor Furbush is admirably qualified
for his post. He is the type of mar
much needed in public office. lie de.
serves the whole hearted support of th'
Mayor and of Council. He can br
helped or hindered according as he Is
expected to be a director of public
health or distributor of patronage.
We cannot believe that the Mayor
wishes him to be anything but an eff
Client public servant. If the Mayor has
proof of the disoyalty of any of the
directors subordinates. no doubt a way
can be found to get rid of them If that
proof is submitted to their superior
But In the absence of proof Doctor
Furbush is very properly standing be
Mind his men.
