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 cartarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constitu-
ional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes
When this tube inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrah Peafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medi

The other evening one Of the char

per for a number of poor children Of
indianapolis. One Of the women had
baked a particularly nice angel food
cake for the occasion. one little boy
attracted her interest and she decided
that no matter what happened he
should have piece of her cake.
Accordingly she offended two or
three women In passing their cakes
by to get her own. She carried n big
piece to the little fellow who gave
Ii one look and said: I'VE got bread
at home, lady. Please gimme some
cake"
Crestfallen. she carried back her
own cake and got him piece of

mingled. And now she says. NO more

almost simultaneously the fat man
was seen rising high in the air, pro-

Notice of Change of Policy of this
Paper Regarding Writ-Ups, Etc.

Notice is hereby given by the
manager OF this paper. that be-
ginning with August Ist there
will be a charge on all matter sent
here for publication except purely
news.
All papers, Obituaries. Pro-
grams. Resolutions. Essays. Ser
mons, Personal Write-ups. etc.
There will be a charge OF 81 90
FOR the above named for Is lines
and all articles containing more
than Is type lines Ioc will be
charged ior every additional line.
This does not apply to news Q !
the churches.
We are compe lied to do this for
financial protection. Our more
than 3 years OF experience in
the newspaper world has taught
US that we have been giving
away hundaeds OF dollrrs annually
paying Tor setting type for such
things in which the general public
is not interested in. and most OF
he time the persons writing are
not subscribers and not interested
IN and have 10 Race pride or
Race Loyalty. they make long
and loud speeches to the galleries
preach great sermons and write
Inc papers on patronizing Race
Enterprises and that is as far as it
goes with them, as nine times out
ten they give their job work what
little they have. to other persons
other than race papers and are
withholding the support from the
men Who are fighting mob and
Iynch law and the many other in-
qualities and evils which contain

the year, while these would be
race lovers find excuses in giving
their work to others claiming they
arc too high priced or the work is
Inferior 10 others. when at the
'ame time these same papers that
hey refuse to let do theirs are do
ing work for Negroes who do not
pose as Race leaders, and too,
these same race papers are doing
JOB work for some OF best BUSH
ness firms and individuals OF the
white race. The papers arc great
50 long as they boost this class OF
individuals for naught and let him
help the fellow who does not need
his financial assistance. There
seems too much racial jealousy
and envy among the majority
OF our great leaders and that ac-
connts for slow progress along
race enterprises.
Therefore we have taken the
matter Under careful advisement
and have concluded to place a
small charge on all matter EXCEPT
purely news All Associational.
Conventional matter we expeet
the officers OF the Bodies to take

hereafter at quarterly and annual

terial, including hvocados, oranges,
mangos, sweet lines, grapefruit, sa-
potes, peaches, plums, guavas, sugar
cane, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes,
corn, cotton, and miscellaneous plants,
we've taken from individuals entering
the United States along the Mexican
border by inspectors of the federal
horticultural board of the United
States Department of Agriculture, in
cooperation with customs and immi-
grafton officials. To prevent the en-
try into the United States of the pink
bollworm of cotton, which is estab-
lished in Mexico, the movement of
cotton and cotton seed from Mexico
was forbidden by law in 1917.
Inspectors enforce this quarantine
at al the principal ports of entry on
the Mexican border. All freight ears
and a large percentage of the vehi
cles from Mexico are examined for
cotton seed, and all baggage in the
possession Of passengers crossing the
border at Brownsville, laredo, Eagle
Pass, Del Rio. and Ell Paso, Texas,
and Nogales, Ariz.
While this inspection is primarily
to intercept cotton and cotton seed,
the inspectors Of the federal horti
cultural board also enforce other
guarantees which apply to Mexico
such as those against the Mexican
fruit fly, the avocado weevil, suga.
cane insects and fuEgous diseases
the sweet potato weevil, citrus can
kcr, and other pests. AS Indian colt
