CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

Catarrhal Deafness requires constiru-

MEDICINE is a constitutional rene
dy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition Of the mucous
lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result. Unless the inflam-
nation, can be reduced, your hearing
may be destroyed forever. Hal LIS

PEANUTS.

Farmers, the peanuts have come.
You will soon see how much faith can
be placed in these resolutions to re-
duce the cotton acreage. The peanut
is one of the best substitutes that
you can get for cotton. You can grow
them with the same tools, the same
labor, the same team and on the same
land that you have been growing cot
ton. Peanut oil is used for a substi-
tute for cotton seed oil, and peanut
growers no longer have to deIend on
peanut parchers for selling. their pro-
duets. They are now grown on
large scale in many sections and have
come to be one of our staple farm
products. 1t takes one bushel of seed
to plant an acre and the Farm Bureau
can supply you with these seed at
S1.25 per bu.
If YOU expect to realize much money
off of growing peanuts you VIII nave
to get high enough to see acres instead
of rows. When we begin to tigure on
our cotton crop we usually countei by
fields and plantations but witt OF ler
rrons we are inclined to think Of It IN
matches or rows. The peanut Is no
pold mine or oil well but in nv oHln-
ior it is 2 much safer cop y grow
than cotton this year and we'd like
to SEE our farmers plant part OF the
land that has heretofore beea CIV
i,,sr cotton in peanuts. There : hut
ore way to reduce the cottcn lcrea2e
and that is to in crease the growth OF
something else. ,,n>,rp

Jilted girls are no longer turning to
the courts with fearful tales of blighted
affections. judging from the absence Of
breach of promise suits in the Kings
Bench lists. This class of action has
been steadily dwinhling since the end Of
the war and in the present term not a
single case breaks the monotony OF
libel, slander and frauds down for spe-
cal jury hearings. 1t has been long
time since England has had a celebrated
case with large damages asked. and the
meagre assortment of the humber vari-
ETY. are tried by common jury at shil-
ling fees.
This is a striking contrast from war
days, when sensati 1nal breach OF prom
Use actions were common. Some lawyers
think the chief reason for this is the
view held by many of the judges who
direct the juries accordingly by saying
that the loss of a tickle sweetheart is
not altogether against the best interests
of the young woman concerned. rms
has resulted in trifling damages. which
does not make the actions worth while
except for the qualification OF showing
up the deceiver.
Lawyers also suspect that the modern
girl is too sensitive to take the chance
of making herself look ridiculous by
suing a man she cannot hold.

sensation was caused in Govern
ment circles at Whitehall this weel,
when it became known that 1000 more
ex-service men had received notices Of
dismissal, making 5000 veterans now
under such notice. The secretary of
the Association OF Ex-Service Men as
serts the veterans were very badly set
down, not only by their discharge but
by Government departments discharg-
ing eX-service men contrary to regu-
lations and showing preference for

The association declares the Ministry
of Pensions is retaining 1900 women,
although discharging veterans that the
Treasury is cutting it's ex-service staff
of $1,000 to $1,000, while cutting It's
staff of 10000 women to $4,000 and re-
tanning $4,000 non-service men; that
the Labor Ministry is discharging war
disabled men while retaining women to
do similar work. The Air Ministry is
charged with discharging a hundred vet
ing down qualified men because of war
disabilities.
In this connection comment is made
in the House Of Commons that veterans
are pawnlng war medals to feed their
starving families. Two instances of at
tempts to pawn the Victoria Cross,
which it is Illegal for pawnbrokers to
receive, were recited. In one case the
distress of the offerer was so great a
pawnbroker gave f10 for waistcoat
with four medals attached, though re-
fusing the medals alone.
The acuteness of the mems distress
Is shown by the fact that only a shilling
or one shilling and sixpence is obtained
for a silver service badge. while a
silver war medal brings double the sum.

When Arthur Schnitzler wrote the
most comical Of all his works, 'Reigen,"
years ago he prepared for Germany a
season OF public quarrelling which has
now lasted a year with no prospect Of
its end yet in sight. A third lawsuit
with the aim of prohibiting the presen-

is occupying the attention Of the public
here. 1t had unique turn when last
Sunday forenoon while godd burgers
were attending church the court with
witnesses attended special performance
of the play to see at first hand whether
1t should be allowed to continue its al
ready long run.
1t was an unparalleled performance.
A bailiH opened it by reading off the
names of witnesses 50 that those who
were not attending the performance
could be fined. There followed playing

count of it's peculiar rhythm.
Among those present In his capacity OF
expert on public morals was Professor
Karl Brunner. Berlin's energetic An
thony Comstock. He left the perform
ance before 1t was concluded.
The leading complainants are relig-
ious societies and women's clubs. The
defence brought out that the principal
State experts only visited such plays In
recent times and that they expected to
find them outrageous.
Gertrude Eysold, the producer. testi-
fed that the play was performed with
the utmost care so as not to be Of
fensive.
"Reigen" has been produced through
out this country in the last year, but
tickets were sold only on the written
pledge that no protest against it would
be filed.
At mass meeting of various organi-
zations here, Prof. Brunner delivered
an address protesting against the in
decency of German stage art.

DR.. Lazarus said the only possible

Prof. Grotjahn of the University OF

trialism had been disastrous in the
way DIR. Lazarus maintained. The
increase in deaths from tuberculosis
he ascribed to industrialism and said
that only city hygiene had made pos
sible reduction in infant mortality,

Tho modern girl interprets Jesus's
meaning of the word fast entirely
wrong. according to the assertion made
by Father Degan in an address at Coal
Vile, Leicestershire. "By all means" he
said. '1et the girls use perfume in the
circumstances indicated by Christ, who
said, When thou fastest annoint thy
head 1t is much to be regretted, how
ever. that the only fast understood by
the gay latch-key girl IS n fast life."
Another Of Father Degan's observa-
tions was this "It Is difficult for man
TO feel for the modern 'you-can't-knock-
the-spots-off type of woman the roman
tic chivalry that glows In the amatory
effusions OF medieval troubadours."
Another churchman campaigning
against the modern girl is the Bishop of
London. In addressing the Girls Di-
ocesan Association at the Church House
he urged the women to begin reaction
toward the reticence, modesty and self
restraint OF the Victorian age.
Take with 1t your lawn tennis and
fun by all means" he said. IT am not a
Puritan who objects TO fun, but only to
