Mens’ Suits
The Best dressed men never wear ready
made clothes
You know that the men in anv city who are best dressed
would never think of buying a ready made suit of clothes.
The highest claim the clothing man ever makes is that his
suits "look like they were tailor made.” Don’t fool with
the imitation when you can get the real thing at a price
no higher for the same quality. Tailor made clothes fit
you perfectly because they are cut just to fit your form.
They hold tbeir shape because they are shaped to your
figure. They last longer because they are better in de.

the Engineering Difficulties.
The generai impression prevailed from
the beginning that the building of the

comprised one of the
world’s greatest engineering feats, and
the tremendous scope of the work as it
developed during the construction pe­
riod served to mold this Impression
Into a fixed belief, yet Mr Stevens,
who for nearly two years had control
on the isthmus not only of all con-
struction. but of those various co-ordi-
naie branches which were essential ad­
juncts to the building of the canal, ex­
pressed the opinion that the engineer­
ing features were the least difficult,
describing them us "of magnitude and
not of intricacy." Ou the other baud,

administrative problems were the
greater, presenting us they did many

Into every brunch of business, with
ramifications touching many phases of
social and domestic economy.
In every undertaking of an engineer­
ing character there must necessari-
ly be a greater or less amount of ad­
ministrative detail resulting from
problems of supply, labor, policy and
considerations arising out of them. In
the case of the Panama canal not only
were these problems present, but as
compared with those of engineering
they made the latter appear relatively
small.
The very magnitude of the work im-
posed difficulties which would have
existed even had it been undertaken in
any portion of the United States, but
these difficulties were increased mate­
rially by reason of having to carry on

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution­
al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition, hear­
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
