Deafness Cannot lie lured ly local applications, as they cannot reacfc the diseased portion or the ear There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is noth ing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

' The parcel post has not only cheap ened the transportation of packages within the limit of weight to ship pers along the established rail and water routes, but it has extended facilities to a fifth of the population of the United States living outside of the cities and towns beyond the zones to which the express compa nies would contract to deliyer ship ments. The express service was naturally confined topoints on or immediately contiguous" to the main lines of railway communication. Up to last year there were twenty mil lions of our people who lived in sec tions not reached by any railroad and these, points out a writer in The World's Work fur June, had no way of enjoying even the expensive service rendered by the express companies. So far as this element was concerned, they were isolated from civilization. They lived in lit tle towns and ranches, in lumber and mining camps, on inaccessible farms. They represented a valuable and worthy element in the popula tion; preciselv the type of pioneer and agriculturist that the govern ment is attempting to encourage. They were found, not only in far Western and middle Mississippi Valley States, but largely in the longest-settled communities. There were hundreds of thousands of then in New York, in Pennsylvania, and in New England. The express com panies ignored these people simply because it did not seem profitable to serve them. The Government, however, has organized its mail services on differ ent principles. It established the rural carrier and star route systems to put these isolated people in com munication with the rest of the country at a cost of some fifty mil lions a year. But with the inaugu ration of the parcel post not only did this immense and costly organi zation become a source of profit to the Department, but it gave to these hitherto isolated sections practically the same facilitie theretofore solely enjoyed by urban communities. That is to say, the Government is doing for a large percentage of its citizens that which the express com panies utterly failed to do and is making money though the charges are less than the express rates were for city deliveries.

When the eastern kings became more civilized they had p?.kces; and in time they held audience indoors. SojLhey had as a symbol of the trees which had shaded their royal forefathers a tree of gold or sdver over the chair in which they sat when matters of stato were under consideration. Later still, when the civilization of these kings was further advanced, they had trees of gold and silver ar d silk, which servants carried over them when they walked.
