Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cred
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 Eu
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it isi en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inlfammation can be re
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des
troyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is.
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Hall's Cattarrh Medicine
acts through the blood on the muc
ous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafaees.

Havana Puts on the
Speed for Taxi Cabs
Havana, Cuba claimsi the distinction
of having solved the problem of cheap
transportation more satisfactorily
than any other city.
Operating within a territory whose
radius is little less than a mile, eight
thousand Ford Automobiles carry one
or two persons between any two
points in the circle for twenty cents..
Under no speed limitations, the
drivers are left to their own fate,
rushing back and forth through
the streets, but the drivers feet and
hands have become so highly devel
oped that they can swerve out of one
another's way more adeptly than can
be imagined.
Besides, Cuban upholsterers have
transformed the Ford, mahogany re
places the metal of the tonneau, whip
cord for the body upholstery, fancy
carpet for the floor, and many colored
leather for the seats. In a single car
may be seen five or six different
shades of leather. -

has lost the power of her legs.
"Up to a couple of months ago,'
said Mrs. sterns, while .her sympa
thizers booed Mrs. Avorin, "my baby
was strong: and healthy. Then this
woman went and cursed it. Your
honor, that woman is a witch. Two
hundred yearst' ago she would have
been burned at the stake."
"The witch! the witch!" yelled the
women spectators.
Bang went the magistrate's gavel.

dence.
FEDERAL MARKETS
OFFERED TO RELIEVE
FARMERS IN U. S.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29. Estab
lishment of central markets for per
ishable food products in all large
cities and the setting up of a federal
licensing system applicable to all
dealers in such foods at those mar
kets is proposed by the federal trade
commission in its annual report to
congress.
me commissions conclusions are
based on an investigation coverin
many months and it declares that
federal action s necessary to obtain
effective regulation and to avoid un
fair and wasteful practices, with the
consequent effect on prices. In the
present system the commission sees
si hindrance to the proper passage
of perishables from the producer to
the consumer certain intertrade deal
ings which it believes should be elim
inated and it suggests that the han
dling of these products be surrounded
by numerous regulations and restric
tions such as the recording of avail
able supplies, the dating of cold stor
age periods and provisions for auction
marketing.
PRESTO O-LUE CO.,
ANNOUNCES DECREASE
ON BATTERY PRICES
The announcement by the Prest-O-
Lite Co. of a material decrease in the
prices of all storage batteries has
caused more interest in automobile
circles than has any occurrence since
the fir reduction in the price of
cars, which was made a few weeks
ago. It is understood that the reduc
tion In prices of Prest-O-Lite batter
ies will average in the neighborhood
of 20 per cent which wi1' n.u a sub
stantial saving to all automoCJIie own
ers.
Large .advertisements placed in
newspapers in practically all of the
larger cities in the United States
last Thursday brought a welcome
holiday announcement to thousands
of automobile owners throughout the
country.
In speaking of this reduction Mr.
Parker of the Miller-Parker Co. says
"It was to be expected that the
Prest-O-Lite company "would take the
lead in the reduction of prices on
storage batteries. This company has
adhered to the policy of maintaining
the lowest possible prices on its pro
ducts. The Prest-O-Lite Co. was one
of the last manufacturers of storage
batteries in the country to raise its
prices when the cost, of production
compelled a higher selling price
This company was reluctant to In
crease its prices and has eagerly
looked forward to the day when it
could be the first storage battery
company to announce a return to pre
war prices.
"While there is a substantial de
crease in the selling price of Prest-O-
Lite batteries there is positively
no decrease in the high standards of
workmanship and material that en
ter into the manufacture of these
batteries. This battery is today bet
ter than ever before and will give a
world of satisfaction.
'There is no doubt but that this
action of the Prest-0-Lite Co. is the
most important step that has been
taken in many years in the auto
mobile storage battery industry.
"In fixing the new prices the Prest-
O-Lite Co. was prompted by the de
sire to assist in the general move-
mtent for the reduction in the prices
of all necessities. The good of the
business world and the country at
large demanded immediate return to
pre-war prices. The Prest-O-Lite Co.
recognized this need and has boldly
taken the lead."

PASADENA, Cal., Jan. 1. Ohio
State university's football eleven now
knows just how Governor Cox felt,
for the landslide to Mr. Harding in
November had nothing "on" the Uni
versity of California's team today,
which defeated the Buckeyes, 28 to 0.
Andy Smith's University of " Cali
fornia beat Ohio State at every angle
of the game, and it was proved to
the complete satisfaction of fully
45,000 howling enthusiasts that 1920
fodftball as conducted on the Pacific
slope was four or five touchdowns
faster than the middle-western type.
It was the same play for which
Dr. John Wilce's outfit is famous tha
took the steam out of Ohio. While
California scored a touchdown in the
first quarter and proved its superior
ity from the start, it was a history
making forward pass, completed af
ter eight minutes of play in the se
cond quarter which so upset and sur
prised the Columbus entry that from
that time on it fell a comparatively
easy victim to the Berkeley bone
crushers. '

in the city requiring trimming, Mount
secured the consent of- the council
to consider an ordinance prohibiting
the excessive destruction of trees by
the electric light and telephone com

Under the terms of the proposed
ordinance this work will be done by
the city and charged to the compan

ence of the trees along the public
highways. Mount further secured
the passage of a motion asking the
recorder to call a conference be

officials of the P. R. L. & P. company,
the Hawley Pulp & Paper Mill, the
Oregon City Woolen Mills and the S
P. company, with the members of the
state highway commission, regarding
a solution to the problem of an en
trance to the city on the south end.
This roadway has been a source of
contention for several administra
tions, and Mount urges immediate
action to get the improvements un
derway. Not satisfied with all the
progressive steps advocated, Mount
took whacks at several other things
which he contended needed attention.
Among them was the condition of the
side-walks on 12th streets, the ab
sence of the lights ordered hung on
'he trestle at 12th and Center, the
habit of- wood sawyers and household-
ers of allowing piles of wood to re
main in the street at night without
signal lights attached, a number of
other minor ill conditions which were
referred to proper authorities for
action.

ed that the machine was in Portland
awaiting the sale of the bonds before
being sent here. They also reported
that the company had declined to
take halfof the $15,000 bond issue in
part payment of the truck, and that
the city would have to sell the bonds
before they could get the truck.
Duane Ely, of the Hill Improvement
club, reported that he had promises
of the sale of $3,000 of the bond is
sue, but that several who had agreed
to take bonds had backed out.
