Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications.as thev cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional reme- j dies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition | of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube, When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling; j sound or imperfect hearing.and when it is entire- | ly closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Woodrow Wilson received his first aUaaI/ no Prnoi/^onf nf tHp ITnitpH yckj LllCCfV OO X l(.OIUV?iW v? V..V w? States, when Secretary McAdoo presented him with a treasury warrant for $5,625, representing his salary from March 4 to 31. On pay days hereafter,however,the President will receive $6,250, a full month's proportion of his $75,000 annual stipend. The treasury department contemplates establishing a precedent in the method of paying President Wilson. Since the days of Washington, the President has been paid by what is known as an "accountable warrant" which means money to be accounted for. A "settlement warrant" which closes an account has been given the President only on his last pay-day when his services are debited in booksjagainst the credits-which have ^ ? ? ?U1 rv? /Itiwtn/V Kio fovrn UcTfU mauc lu 111III UUllIlg uig h.iiu of office. Mr Wilson,however,probably will be Riven a "settlement warrant" each month and his salary account with the government balanced monthly as his term transpires. No one today knows why the President'has always been paid by an "accountable warrant", which is issued in other cases only in connection with advanced money. The President is the only official whose salary is paid directly by the treasury department. Vice Presi-j dent Marshall will receive from the secretary of the Senate the portion he has'so far earned of his $12,000 annual compensation.?Exchange. /|f THE BEST f^v f REMEDY Jv All AI m ( rwr a?> ivnus vi h t RHEUMATISM 1 f I r^ff. triilhii.

Famous Actress Finds that a Healthy Liver Is Necessary to u^cd Looks , and Youtbfuiness. One of the best known women of | the American stage is writing a series 1 of articles on the preservation of beauty. She attaches great import- ! ance to keeping the liver active at i all times, and she is right. Neither ; ! good looks nor happiness will stay j long with any man or woman who lets the liver get lazy and sluggish. It is not always safe to take calomel, the old liver remedy. Doctors agree that it is a very uncertain ! drug. But Dr W V Brockington has a remedy for sale that he guaran-1 tees to take the place of calomel ab- j solutely, and still be harmless, caus- i ing no restriction of habit or diet, j This remedy is Dodson's Liver Tone. Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasanttasting vegetable liquid,but it starts the liver gently and surely and relieves constipation and biliousness so promptly that it has become a dependable remedy in thousands of homes in the United States. There are scores of families in this vicinity who will not be without it in the house and who would not think of starting on a trip without a bottle of it. Dr W V Brockington has sold so much Dodson's Liver Tone that he !o AAmrinAA/1 nf ifo morit anrj will mo wuruivcu vi iui iiivtiv m*'v* ??... give any person his 50 cents back who buys a bottle and does not find that it takes the place of calomel to perfection. adv The Expected Happens. Following the adoption by the Democratic caucus of a programme of a reduced duty on woollen goods, ; comes promptly from Rhode Island the announcement of a big manufacturing firm: "The provisions in the new Wilson tariff bill make it -i :ui_ *? aDsoiuuriy impussiuie iui us uj successfully compete with imported goods, therefore, a stoppage of machinery will lake place immediately." The expected has happened. When the present tariff was under consideration Senator Aldrich said: "There is no person who is acquainted with the tariffs of this or any other country who does not know that an assault upon the wool and woollen schedule of this bill is an attack -upon the very citadel of protection." S?natAr Dnllivpr said: "I intend to fight it. * * * I do not purpose that the remaining years of my life shall be given up to a dull consent to the success of all these conspiracies which do not hesitate before our very eyes to use the lawmaking power of the United States to multiply their profits and fill the market places with witnesses of their avarice and their greed." Aldrich and Dolliver are gone. The issue" remains. But this time it will be set right and settled. ?Yew 1 York World. a I4mba Ia* DhnnmoMom ruuuu d Lure lur nunuiiiaiioiu- < "I suffered with rheumatism for 1 two years and could not get my right hand to my mouth for that length of time," writes Lee L Chapman, Mapleton, Iowa. *T suffered terrible pain so that I could not sleep or lie still at night.

How much money is spent eyery day in New York's square mile of shopping? How many hundreds, thousands, millions of dollars change hands every twent>-Iour hours in tne area twenty blocks square, trom Fourteen street to Thirty-fourth street,inclusive? Remember, this area is not merely the shopping centre of the largest city on the western continent, but really the shopping centre of that continent. When Mrs Knickerbocker and her country cousins from Georgia, Kansas and California go out to shop, how much do they spend? According to the most carefully considered judgments of representative merchants in this great whirlpool of buying and selling, the total sum passed over the counter every business day of the year is not less than $6,000,000, and very possibly amounts up to'$10,000,000. In short, it would take the entire fortunes of from six to a dozen men ordinarily accounted rich to pay one day's shopping bills in this square mile. No such enormous sums change hands in any other great shopping centres of the world. The composure of the staid merchants of Bond and Regent streets in London would be rudely shattered if they were ac cused of "taking in" from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 daily. Even in the great and gay Parisian shops on the Rue de la Paix and the Avenue de l'Opera such tremendous disbursements are unknown. New York has long been known as the shoppers' heaven and now we see how densely populated is our paradise. There is probably no street or avenue in the entire city which is wholly devoid of shopping or shoppers. But a careful observer must agree that the most thoroughly shopped section is bounded by Fourteenth street on the south and Thirty-fourth street on the north, with Twenty-third street as a mid-rib. This square mile of course extends east and west to include Broadway and Fifth and Sixth avenues. Each one of these three thoroughfares has shops which may not be omitted from the most cursory summary of the city's shopping facilities. There are several methods of solving these problems. This is one chosen by a member of the firm of a great department store. "There are at least ten department stores of the first rank in New York's square mile of shopping," he began. "By actual count it has been ascertained that from 30,000 to 60,000 per#)ns enter each one of these 9tores every business day. It is fair to assume that the average purchase is $5, for in almost any shop the ayerage is from $10 to $20. So, $5 per customer per day is a conservative es tirnate for all trie department scores. "Taking the lowest average num ber of customers tor each shop, 30,000 and .multiplying that by ten, you have a daily total of 300,000 customers. If each buys $5 worth the amount of money spent per day in these ten shops aggregate $1,500,000. It is alst conservative to estimate the wholesale and mail order business in th< square mile from Fourteenth stree' to Thirty-fourth street as three time, the retail business?say $4,500,000 i day. That brings the grand tota up to $6,000,000. "Of course, the business conduct ed by the wholesale and mail orde houses is merely long distance shop ping and I am sure that I havegrea ly underestimated the daily return of these enterprises. Several other merchants put thdaily shopping bill at $10,000,000 One,however, asserted that $15,000, 000 came nearer the truth. Now,for one final bunch of statistics about our wonderful square mile. It contains approximate^ 25,000 shops of one sort or another. Its great department stores, placed all together, would make a building 362 stories in height, with a base 1,000 by 800 feet. Allowing a height of fifteen feet to each story, this 1 MJ? U R ,|Ofi PUlICling wuuiu wwci Li.iLiu icci above the street level. It has been estimated that at present the department stores cover real estate worth $200,000,000, and that each one averages 6,000 employees and a 3tock worth $5,000,000.?Nno York World. i BARTER IN BABIES. Demand For Children For Adoption Greater Than Supply. Babies are bartered for in Chicago ' ? ^ .1 ? AM V\ HAI1 /. U f in^A I even neiore meje aic uiuugm. mw the world by girl mothers; physicians recommend maternity homes to prospective patients and then split the fees with the management of the homes; Chicago is a clearing house for foundlings throughout the Middle West; the demand for "orphan babies" is three times greater than the supply?these were among the most startling statements made before the State legislative committee which is investigating charity homes and maternity hospitals. At the conclusion of the hearing, Chairman Thomas Curran, said: "Dealing in babies is the most dastardly business existing." The legislators were told that mothers, before the birth of a babe, signed an agreement which ends: "I promise and declare I will never see said child, but do release and oKon^ nn if fnrouor 1' UUUtlUVIl IV They were informed that babies were shipped out of the State when only a few hours old, and that their mothers were hired out to nurse the infants of the Wealthy. Superintendents of maternity homes admitted they kept no records, that once a child was sent away there was nothing by which it could be traced. "But don't you ever inquire how these babies are treated, whether they live or die?'\inquired Chairman Curran of Dr Charles S Wood,of the Union Park Maternity Home. "We keep no records at all." The testimony brought out the fact that 85 per cent of the unmarried patients in the "lying-in" hospitals are girls f}om out of the State who come to the city to hide their shame. "Wo oan't fnrniqli nil thp hahie* we are asked for," said F W Briney, / head of a sanitarium. "We have a yearly contract for advertising in two Chicago papers, in which we of- < fer babies for adoption, but the real purpose of these 'ad' investments is to solicit the patronage of expectant mothers," The committee learned that Dr Briney contracted with unmarried patients so that after giving birthto children they were hired out as nurses. Their own children, how- . ever, were reared on artificial food. "We make contracts with the girl mothers before their babies are born," said the witness. "Speedltfs." Recorder Broyles of Atlanta has discovered a new disease and a cure for it at the same time. It is"speeditis," and the only remedy for it is the extraction of "kale," commonly known as "long green," from the afflicted. according to one of the At-' lanta papers. The price of one dose is $25.75,and a second application is rarely found to be necessary. Mr Broyles says that the germ of "speeditis" lies dormant in every one.butcan be precipitated only after one purchases or drives an auto. The disease has reached the epidemic stage in Atlanta, and as a means of wiping it out, the Recorder is administering the same treatment to every body, white and black, rich and poor. We wonder how many cases of "speeditis" there are in Edgefield. Surely there are signs that the disease is rampant on the square every day, but what has been done toward administering tc it? We believe that Recorder Broyles' cure, namely the extraction of long green, wouia ao the work. By the way, how many stop. watches are there in Edgefield?? Edgefield Chronicle. Coughs and Consumption. Coughs and colds, when neglected, always lead to serious trouble of the lungs. The wisest thing to do when you have a cold that troubles you is to get a bottle of Dr King's New Discovery, You will get relief from the first dose, and finally the cough will disappear. 0 H Brown of Mus cadine, Ala, writes: ' My wife whs down in bed with an obstinate cough, and I honestly believe had it not been for Dr King's New Discovery, she would not be living to-day." Known for forty-three years as the best remedy for coughs and colds. Price 50c and[$1.00. Recommended by Kingstree.Drug Co and M L Allen. adv
