Fourteen American soldiers were
billed in,the recent four days' fighting
on Jolo Island, the Philippines, when
! General Pershing's command finally
subdued and disarmed the rebellious
Moros, according to a report to the !
war department. On the list of dead :
were Capt. Taylor A. Nichols of the
Philppine scouts, eleven scouts and ^
two privates of the regular army.
An unexpected sequel to the recent (
burglary in the Berkeley hotel in Pic- j
adilly is the arrest of the night por- 3
ter, Arthur James, charged with being
concerned in stealing from the hotel
safe $35,000 and attempting to murder
Gowers, the other night porter, in

to James' arrest. Employees of the j
hotel in hunting down the rat found
its hole under the radiator and
through it saw a gleam of gold.

British cabinet ministers were com- !
pelled to defend their personal honesty
before parliament. The attorney i
general, Sir Rufus Isaacs, and the
chancellor of the exchequer, David

President Wilson secured from a ma
jority of the Democratic members of
the house banking and currency committee
expressions of harmony and
acquiescence in the administration pro- j
gram of enacting a currency bill dur- (ing
the present session of congress. ,
Vigorous opposition from the new
department of labor to the proposed
arbitration and mediation act, prepar- a
ed by the railroads and railroad brotherhoods
for enactment by congress, t:
was voiced when the measure was ii
presented to a joint session of the p
house and senate interstate commerce n
committees. Secretary Wilson criticis- j
ed the new measure as 'going beyond
the necessities of the hour. p
i An additional exemption of $500 0
for each child of a family in the in- a
come tax section of the tariff revision ii
bill was determined upon by the sen- p
ate finance subcommittee, of which t
Senator Williams is chairman, and the
change will be recommended to the
majority members of the committee.
Having determined upon this important
amendment, the subcommittee also "
is seriously considering recommending
changing the $4,000 exemption in the
Underwood bill to $3,000.

principles laid down in the Minnesota ?

United States upheld state railroad fc

sas, Oregon and West Virginia. This
legislation included 2-cent passenger 1
laws in Missouri, Arkansas and West J
Virginia; maximum freight rate laws
in Missouri and Arkansas; and freight
rates out of Portland in the Oregon ^
Cases. The only exception to the *
sweenine aDDrovai of state statutes
was in the case of several weaker ^

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they canrot
reach the diseased portion of the Cc.r.
.There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed conlittrm
nf t.ViP mnr>nnR linino- nf thfi
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
nflamed .you have a rumbling sound
:>r imperfect hearing, and when it is
mrirely closed, Deafness is the result,
ind unless the inflammation can be
;aken out and this tube restored to its
(ormal condition, hearing will be deitroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten i
tre caused by Catarrh, which is nothng
but an inflamed condition of the
nucous surfaces.
