Oaturrhat Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catar rhal deafness, and that is by a con stitutional remedy. Catarrhal deaf ness Is caused by an Inflamed condi tion of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian tube. When this tubo is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing, and wheal it is en tirely closed, deafness is tho result. Unloss tho inflammation can bo re duced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will bo de stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf ness aro caused by catarrh, which ls an Inflamed condition cu" the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicino acts through tho blood on the mu cous surfaces of tho system. Wo will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of catarrhal deafness that cannot bo cured by Dall's Ca tarrh Medicine. Circuarls free. All druggists, 75c. F J. Cheney & Co., (adv.) Toledo, Ohio.

Washington, Feb. 28-Four Amer ican soldiers, two caught asleop while doing sentry duty In the Hist Uno trenches, and two having refused to obey orders, have been sentenced to death, but Gen, Pershing, although he has authority to carry out the sen tences, has referred their cases to ?the' Wfcur Department for review. These are the first cases of the kind since the American troops went to France. One soldier was executed there for an unspeakable offense on a French child, a'nd ,ln his case Gen. Pershing acted swiftly without as much as referring it to Washington. In tiheso cases, however, some ex tenuating circumstances may be found for tho fanya, .tired and nerve worn by .front line trench duty In a hitherto unknown manner of war fare, to save them from the death penalty at the hands of their own fellows. President Wilson, probably in the end will review their cases. Going to sleep on sentry duty has long been recognized as an unforgivable of fense, punishable by death, and such cases, rare as they .have been In tho American army, have furnished some of the most absorbing Incidents of its history.

Engines Disabled in Storm, Sails Rigged from Red Coverings. Washington, Feb. 27-Safe arrival (at an European port of a- 110-foot submarine chaser with a French crew aboard iwblch had .not been heard from since January 15 waa announc ed to-day by the Navy Department. The little craft was separated from her escort during a terrific gale while bound for Europe. No navigating instruments were aboard, but after being blown far off their course, the Frenchmen est ('malt ed their position and headed for port. To their remarkable seam-anrl.ip is attributed ,the success of the voyage. Secretary Daniels announced tho news Ju this statement: "I was delighted .to receive a mes sage to-day telling of the arrival in port of an American-built submarine chaser which became separated from her escort din tho .terrifie blizzard of January 15, had not boen reported since that time and which ve feared was lost. This was one of tho 110 foot .bon'ts which we were turning ovor .to tho French government, and was manned by a French crew which saved tho craft by a remarkable feat of navigation. "In tho storm, which was ono of tho worst on record, the engines were disabled and .tho boat left adrift far out at sea. Tho crew managed to rig up a sail made from bed coverings and .wore able to make two or three knots an hour before the wind. There were no .navigating instruments ex cept a compass nhoard, and tho crew had'to est?mate their positions. They sailed for 39 days, going on short rations, nnd .finally reached port."

Action Practically Sets Price to Re Charged for Raw Seed. (The State.) The following facts are probably not thoroughly understood by the farmers and merchants who produce and handle cotton seed; At the request of the United States Food Administration, Washington, the price of crude cotton seed oil has been fixed at $1.43% per gallon, and at the request of tho food adminis tration, the crushers voluntarily agreed to fix the price of standard cotton seed meal at $48.5 0 per ton in wholesale quantities of ten tons or more, and $51 per ton for retail quantities less than ten tons. The price of Unters ts 5 V* cents per pound, delivered Hopewell, Va., netting the mills approximately 4% cents per pound f. o. b. mills; and the price of bulk hulls is $20 pel ton. The price of linters has been practically fixed hy the powder manu facturers. The crude oil mills are operating under license of the United States Food Administration and are called upon to submit semi-monthly reports to Washington, showing their pur chases of cotton seed, production and sales of products, and complete In formation showing the cost of operat ing; and these semi-monthly state ments must be promptly submitted on the first and 16th of each month, covering the preceding 1? days' ope rations, and such statements must be sworn to in the presence of a no tary public. There aro certain rules promulgat ed by tho United States Food Admin istration, which the crushers must rigidly observe, as follows: Rule No. 12: "No Uncensee shall sell in car .lots at more than $2 per ton, exclusive of customary loading charges, over the price which he paid for cotton seed. This rule applies to licensed gln ners, merchants or seed buyers, who purchase cotton seed from the pro ducers, reselling to crushers. Rule No. 14: No licensee engaged in the business of crushing cotton seed shall pay higher prices for cot ton seed in one market than he does in another market, considering the quality of the seed purchased to be the same. This rule, promulgated by the Uni ted States Food Administration, pro hibits a crusher from paying higher prices in any local market than he pays elsewhere. This rule prohibits any mill from attempting to average the cost of its seed by paying a higher price for cotton seed in one market than lt does in another. Tho United States Food Adminis tration, Washington, has fixed the gross margin of thc crusher at $13 per ton, including cost. antl profit, and mills are prohibited from buying cotton seed without main nining the spread of $13 per ton ns ttx?d by the food administration. The jirices of tho products of cot ton seed having been fixed, and the gross margin of the crusher estab lished by tho United States Food Ad ministration, tho resulta nf price of the raw material, cotton seed, may bo considered as being practically auto matically fixed in accordance with the value of the products, as tho crude mills cannot look forward to an en hancement of the value of products.
