Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
th? diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness Is
caused ty an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you bare 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 condi
tion. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
capes out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
«rhich is nothli.g but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
ease of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Curs.

Bremerton, March 27—Whether
the merchant vessels an th© Pa

tion that is interesting naval offic
ers at the local station. No; orders
have come to Puget Sound oanjoern
ing the intentions of the govern
ment in regard to ships doing busi
ness In Pacific 'waters, and there ia
considerable speculation about the
possibilities of such action. There
have been no reports that American
shipping going out of Puget Sound
intend to ask for guns, for the
danger in transpacific traffic may
for the peer-sent be regarded aB
negligible.

tent was received yesterday at the
office of Chief of the Field Division
C. E. Aruudell here. The mino is
ou 'he shore of th© Arctic ocean,
at a point north, of Point Hope
called Oonvfn Bluff. The mine is
160 mil6s north, of the Arctic Cir
cle. and is one of the earliest de
veloped coal deposits in Alaska.
It was first utilized in 1849 and
later when the whalers found prof
itable the tripp along the north
coast of the Territory they always
stopped there for coal. The mine
is accessible from, the shore, be
cause the coal veins outcrop on the
side of the bluff. The coal wae

INVENTORY REVEALS
STARTLING SCARCITY
FOOD SUPPLIES
Copenaager., April 5—The result
of th® recent stock taking of the
grain, potatoes and other foodstuffs
was so unfavorable as to cause gen
eral apprehension, according to the
Berlin Voerwar»s, which quctcs re
marks made before the Rekhstag
committee on. food by the socialist
deputy, Ebort,
Deputy Ebert said an inventory
showed *lie 191G yield of bread
<rains was only 500,000 tons or
15 pounds percapita above the 1915
harvest, a harvest which had been
regarded as almost calamitous.
Early reports oa the 19Id harvest
had described it as good and a
rationing scheme was based en an
estimated exc es3 of 1,000,000 tons.
The reduction ia the visible supply
by oine-half explains tl e cut in
bread rations which was announced
by the authorities as soon as the
results of the census were at hand.
Deputy Ebert added that a simikjj
deficit apparently exis'ed in other
food products. He demanded that
everything imported from Rumania
he r°served for human consump
tion.
