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-
ionaf 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, 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

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 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 charge OF 81 90
for the above named for IS lines
and all articles containing more
than IS type lines Ioc will be
charged for every additional line.
This does not apply to news o.
the churches.
We are co mpeled to do this for
financial protection. Our more
than % years OF experience in
the newspaper world has taught
US that we have been giving
away hundaeds of dollrrs annually
paying for setting type for such
things in which the general public
is not interested in. and most oil
the time the persons writing are
not subscribers and not interested
in and have no Race pride OF
Race Loyalty, they make long
and loud speeches to the galleries,
preach great sermons and write
fine papers on patronizing Race
enterprises and that is as far as il
goes with them, as nine times oul
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

race lovers find excuses ia giving
their work to others claiming they
are too high priced or the work is
inferior to others. when at the
same time these same papers that
they 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 are great
so 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 expect
the officers OF the Bodies to take
care OF in more systematic way
hereafter at quarterly and annual
meeting. Our experience at the
meetings in the past forces US to
make this request.
No one who believes in a just
compensation for honest work
will object to this requirement.

ANOTHER BREAK
IN water MAIN
Big Leak Stopped But Valve Two
Blocks Farther South on Twen-
tieth, Gives Way.

Waterworks department en-
ployes at $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon completed repair of the
leak in the 6-inch main on Twenti-
eth street, between Fifth and Sixth
avenues. Service at the Y. NJ C. A.
and along the street from Fourth 10
Seventh avenues, since the break
last Saturday, was brought up to
standard.
Today the department is having
more trouble A leak has sprung
from the same main at Seventh ave
nue.. This is believed to be from a
broken valve and will be compare
lively easy to repair. 1t is believed
that the water will not be shut off
for more than two hours to make
the repair, once the leak is reached.
The cost of this repair will be
small.
The leak between Fifth and Sixth
avenues has cost the department
several hundred dollars. Men have
been working day and night. The
pipe, which is set in trench
through solid rock made it neces-
sary to dig down through the street
car track and tunnel to the break
in the main, which was found snap
ped in two.
Crews today are clearing the
pavement of ice that formed from
the waste water. For more than
a block the street is covered by a
layer of ice nearly a foot thick.

D. Z. Hildebrant's Account of Rock
Islands Experiences Feature
of State Bulletin.

o. F. Hildebrandt's description of
Rock Islands early experiences in
business building" experiments
and the program under which the
Chamber of Commerce is advancing
now form a feature of the current
number of the Illinois Journal of
Commerce. Mr.. Hildebrandt is sec
rotary of the Rock Island Chamber
of Commerce and in that capacity
participated in the business build
ing" conference two weeks ago in
Chicago.
The publication reprinted the fol-
lowing summary of Mr. Hide
brandt's address:
About twenty years ago Rock Is
land was seized with a sudden de
sire to go into the Industrial game.
They staged an extensive program
to secure a huge industrial fund,
and l believe the amount suhscrib-
ed at that time was somewhere in
the heighborhood of $125, 900. How
much of that was paid in, I do not
know, but at any rate, the town
was overrun with financial schemes
of all sorts and I believe they did
extend financial assistance to two
institutions, a butter tub factory
and shoe factory. Neither one had
any business in the town to begin
with, and they are not there now.
The did not stay but a short time.
Since that time the program has
been changed and we have been
extending assistance in this man
ner: We are providing buildings
with a proper string tied to them
which they can acquire after a GER
tain number of years, through pay
ing off bond issue and otherwise
so that at the end of a five or ten
year period that building is ours.
If they leave town, the building be-
longs to US We are not giving any

last twenty years since that pro-
gram has been under way. We have
been more uniformly successful in
the financing of local industries
that located in Rock Island under
that plan Perhaps ten per cent OF
the local Industries we have at the
present time have been handled in
that manner
Now. l don't believe any new
industry will go to any town I'M
less the community becomes part
ners with them; but If the commuR-
ity becomes partners with the in
dustry. the industry should like
wise become partners with the COM
munity and take an active part in
community affairs, which l an sor-
ry to say is not always the case.
We likewise go on the theory that
if people have money TO invest in
eastern projects good many
thousands of miles away from HON

cases, why should they not take the
same stand with local industries.

sion; instead of waiting to hear of

She said Taylor was talking of the

Said He'd Kill Butler.
Miss Windsor said that Taylor, In
this connection, declared:
"If 1 ever lay my hands on

Miss Windsor, in discussing 1t,
said that Taylor seemed very de-

him of every cent he had at the

"Mr. Taylor made no secret OF

"as he told a number of people he
would kill him if he ever got his
hands on him"
Miss Windsor said that she had
known Taylor long time, but
never very well.
That a woman was involved in
