Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased pirtion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mocous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube
is infamed 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 restor-
ed to its normal condition, hearing G
will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by ca
tarrh. which is an inf1amed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine acts thru the blood
on the mucous surfaces OF the sys-
tenn.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free

Arbor Day

1t is regrettable that Arbor Day is
observed so perfunctorily by large
part of the public schools. Not with
out reason has this day been sci
apart in the United States. Canada
and other countries for the planting
of trees, especially by children, ano
for the encouragement of general in,
terest in forestry The passing OF
the forests and the absence OF shade
trees will be matter of serious con-
Germ to the next generation. Tha'
there may be widespread and concer'
ted efforts to correct conditions, the
children must be educated to the
needs of the situation.
AS early as 1865 the secretary OF
the Connecticut board of education
foresaw the deplorable condition
which was bound to result from ne
glect of trees and advocated the an
nual planting of them under state
auspices on an appointed day. Ne
braska adopted Arbor Day in 1872;
Ohio introduced observance OF the
day in the public schools in 1887,
and the custom has spread rapidly
until nearly all the states have de-
signated days FOR tree planting, eth
er as school or legal holidays. The
date varies; it is late in April OF
early in May in most of the northern
states, and is in December. January
or February in the southern states.
Governor Sproll proclaimed Friday,
April IL, and Friday, April %, as
Arbor Days, and DR.. Thomas E. Fin
egan state superintendent OF pubic
instruction. designated Friday, Octo-
ber "a, as Autumn Arbor Day and
Bird Day this year.
In his proclamation last spring
Governor Sproul issued an inspiring
message on the subject of trees, re-
plete with sound ideas. But in Al
legheny county there was no general
observance of the day, the matter
being left to the discretion or the
principals of the individual schools
Some of the women's clubs and Boy
Scout troops planted trees, but In
many of the public schools the matter
received scant attention
is mora regrettable because
the schools are among the principal
beneficiaries of the state forests. the
sale of material from the forests has
Welded more than $1S5.0O0, Whlch
has been set aside for The State
School Fund of Pennsylvania. All
future receipts from the state forests
--and they will increase in geometri
cal ratio as the Legislature permits
a business-like deyelopment-wiil be
placed in the school fund. The TOR
ests help to support the schools; and
the schools should reciprocate by
showing some interest in the forests.
Besides, children shoulS be taugnl
to admire the estheaic IN Nature and
of all Gods handiwork nothing Is
more beautiful more majestic, more
worthy of admiration, than trees.

British-American Relations Are
Strained Over Irish Republic -

7 ONDoN. Eng, June 2s.-Relations
l. between Great Britain and the
United States have entered upon
an irritating and ticklish phase. This
is remarkable in view Of the close
working alliance between Lloyd
George and Wilson in Paris. where
the arrangements of the men who
were called the big two" by their
colleagues resulted ina peace treaty,
which, in the eyes Of the rest Of the
world. constituted an Anglo Saxon
hegemony over the planet.
France. It was then said by Jealous
rival nations, was 10 act on the con-
tinent in future as the executive
agent Of Britain and America And
now already. less than a year after
the signatures were affixed at Yer
sailles. France and England have so
diverged on their paths that great
difficulty is found in pretending that
they are not drifting into open
rivalry, and feeling between the big
two" who It used TO be said had been
forever linked together by the war,
is certainly rising.
Ireland a Sore Spot.
Most important OF all, though from
the British angle a negative issue. is
Ireland. In a recent dispatch I ex-
planned how opinion regarding Ire
land gradually had changed here. and
predicted that in a year or two, II
there is no outbreak to arouse fight
ing blood in this country. British
troops viii be Withdrawn and Sim
Fem viii have won a blOodiess VIC
tory. In spite Of this probability
there is very deep and bitter feeling
here against the American attitude
on the Irish question.
Much Of the trouble in Ireland,
many Of the murders and a vast deal
of the unrest, ] am assured by En-
glishmen. is due TO the agitation in
the United States. II Is understood
that much OF this is fostered by Irish
patriots. and resolutions or demon
STATIONS, so long as they were con-
fined 10 persons Of Irish descent
would not attract SO much attention.
