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

MICE BECOME PLAGUE
 IN WYOMING COUNTY

EVANSTON, Wyo., June 15. - A field mice plague" is being combat ted in the vicinity of Knight, Wyo., in Unita County, close to the Utah line, where, it is reported, hordes of mice are creating havoc on farms and ranches. Millions of the rodents are in the region, ranchers report, and are stripping the fields. In many in stances, reports say, the mice are in vading farm houses and destroying household furniture by gnawing at articles of wood.

TRAFFIC CLUB
 TO DEAL WITH
 FREIGHT RATES

CHICAGO, June 15.-Freight rates and railroad wages will be dealt with from the point of view of shippers and carriers by the newly-organized As sociated Traffic Club of America, in an effort to influence public opinion and policies, according to an outline of it's objects made by the officers here today. Those who have promoted the organization say that it's work will be made the same as that contem- plated in recent proposals of a na- tional transportation institute, SUD- ported by both shippers and carriers, "for the education of the public and the support of wise transportation pol icies." They announce that the or ganization hopes to impress upon the President and Congress "the kind of mon ihat should be appointed to the Interstate Commerce. CommiSslohs though it will refrain from recommends ing individuals.
 Some of the questions to be consid' cred will probably relate to the value of the United States Railroad Labor Board; proposals to amend the rate making section of the transportation act so that there shall not be a mandate to the Interstate Commerce Commission to make the level of rates such that the carriers will earn an adequate revenue; restoration o1 power of the state policy in respect to merchant marine; the proposed St. Lawrence canal.
 It is estimated that there are t.wen ty-five or more. industrial" traffi, clubs in which shippers but uot car Etefs afe ren- f.. resented. The assocla tion, which was organized at meet ing attended by fifty representatives of twenty-five of the seventy-five ol eighty traffic clubs in which both car riers and shippers are represented, vii seek to induce the industrial clubs tt become eligible to membership i- th' association by admitting representa- | tiyes of carriers.

Eskimos Hide Their Kin
From First White Man
Five Tribes Make Ready for
Defense Until Rasmussen
Uses Native I,auo,,aoe

COPENHAGEN, Oct. % (By The AS
sociated PTess). Eskimo tribes
who had never seen white man were
encountered by Knud Rasmussen, the
Danish explorer, in trip of 5000 kilo-
meters from Admiralty inlet at the
northern part of Baffin Island to Yath-
Kyed Lake, Keewatin. Extremely
primitive, and unable to obtain bluh-
ber, these new found Eskimos dweIt
in snow huts without heat.
There was every indication that thew
were inland tribes, which led Rasmus-
sen; in his report made public to-day
by the Committee OF the Fifth Thule
Expedition to Arctic North America
to indorse the theory OF the Danish
professor Stensby. that the Eskimos
were originally Indian tribes who be-
came lost in the northern wilderness.
When Rasmussen came upon the
Esklmos in his recent Journey thew
hid their women folk and children
and made ready TO defend themselves
until he saluted them in the Eskimo
tongue. Immediately their attitude
changed, The women and children
tumhled out of their hiding places and

him. They were of decidedly lower

Mr.. Pfeiffer then said that Mrs. Hall
never has received any word or com

and Mrs. Mills. He said that Mrs,

the afternoon of September Id, but that

Mrs. Clarke called with Miss Miriam

Stokes remained in the garden, but
Mrs Clarke came into the kitchen
where Mrs. Hall was preserving pickles.
They had plenty Of opportunity to
talk" said Mr.. Pfeiffer, with smile.
II have been told that Mrs. Clarke
thinks the world Of Mrs. Hall, but that
she does not wish to be connected with
this case because Of her husbands
aversion to publicity"
1t had not been known previously
that Mrs. Clarke had gone into the
Hall home that day. Recently when
Mrs. Clarke's husband talked with re-
porters, he supplied them with the
first information they had had about
his wife's call at the Hall home.
Mr.. Pfeiffer said, however. that she
did not go into the house, but merely
went into the garden to take picture

In discussing the movements Of DR..
hall on the day he was murdered, Mr..
Pfeiffer said:
ut was not unusual for DR.. Hall to
60 out in the evening. He was, in the
habit of attending vcstry meetings,
choir practice and other affairs con-
nected with st. Johns Church.
"Ihe phone rang at about 1880 or

she recognized the voice of Mrs. Mills,
who asked for DR.. Hall. Louise replied,

After that, according to Mr. Pfeiffer,

Mr.. Pfeiffer said that Mrs. Hall has

who was visiting them, to bed about
o'clock and that she herself went to
bed about 10, but did not go to sleep
as it was her custom to remain awake
until DR.. Hall retired. He said that
it was about $3.50 in the morning when
Mrs. Hall awakened her brother, Willie
Stevens, and had him accompany her
to the church in search of the clergy
man. He said Mrs. Hall believes She
returned about 8 o'clock and that
Willie was with her. Phillips, the
