Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
th diseased portion of the »'ar. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
b> constitutional remedies. DeaCness »s
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is
entirely closcd. Deafness is the result, and
unUss tho inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its nornval condi
tion. luaring will be destroyed forever: n'"e
cases out of ten are cau**d by Catarrh,
vvhi^h is nothing but an Inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

Red Cross Preparing to Serve That
Number of Men In Case of War.
Washington.—The Red Cross is ready
to care for au array of a million. En
rolled for active service are 2,070
graduate nurses and more than 1,000
doctors and surgeons. Ued Cross cer
tificates in elementary liygiene and
home care of I lie sick have been issued
to 4,450 women who are available as
nurses' aids. Thus the total nursing
personnel is more than 7,W0.
Twenty-six base hospitals, each of
500 beds, have been organized in vari
ous cities. Their total cost is between
$300,000 and ?400,000. Twenty of these
are ready for service completely equip
ped and fully mr.nncd. These units
will call for 1.2"0 nurses and 590
nurses' aids. All I?cd Cross nurses,
surgeons and nurses' aids have re
ceived or arc new receiving immunity

also passed physical examinations.
In addition to these army hospital
units, the Red Cross Is now organizing
thirty-one navy detachments of twenty
nurses each. Kmcr^ iiey detachments
of nurses are also planned, which can
be sent to relieve units on service or to
meet special needs.
FOR ANTI-LITTER LEAGUE.
Several Thousand "Block Captains"
Will Assist In Crusade.
New York.—A movement to appoint
several thousand "block captains" to
co-operate with the New York Antl
Littcr league in its work of keeping
the streets and sidewalks clean was
started at a conference in the Aldine
club, attended by city officials and rep
resentatives of nearly a score of cham
bers of commerce, boards of trade,
neighborhood a.- >ci.itious and other
civic organizations.
For the present it is probable that
captains will he appointed only from
the ranks of the organizations interest
ed in the movement, but eventually
the league hopes to have a captain on
every block in the city, whose duty it
will be to urge upon janitors, porters,
shopkeepers and the general public the
necessity of keeping the sidewalks
clean and sweeping their litter into
proiKjr receptacles.
YALE MEN IN AERO UNIT.

at times accompanying the submarines
in their maneuvers. The entire Yale
squad of aviators numbering forty

where ton flying machines awaited
them for daily practice.
David McCollocb, another veteran
aviator, will also instruct the Yale men

Improvised crutches made out of a one

and Ave empty flour sacks.
Hoicombe was working a bunch of
cattle about four miles from his ranch
and two miles from the nearest bouse.
The horse he was riding slipped and
fell on Uolcombe's right leg. It snapped
between the knee and ankle.
Knowing there was no help within
two miles, the Ram en ess of the man
asserted itself. Suffering excruciating
pain, he crawled on his hands and
knees for a mile, wliere he had noticed
a one inch plank. With the aid of a
knife he broke this plank lengthwise
and, putting one piece under each arm,
used tbem as crutches and traveled a
mile to the cabin of a friend.
Here he broke up a cracker box and
with his knife whittled out some rough
splints. With the aid of five flour sacks
ho bound on the splints. The friend
then telephoned to a neighbor for a car
and brought the injured man to the city.
