' Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured 1: local applications, as they can- not reach the diseased portions of the car. This is only one. \xay to cure catarrhal deafness. and that is by a constitutional remedy. Ca- tzrrhal Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear- ing, and when it is entirely closed. 'deafness is the result. Unless the in- flammation can be reduced and this. tube restored to its normal condi-l ticn, hearing will be destroyed for- ever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh. which is an in- flamed condition of the mucous sur- faces. Hall’s c'atarrh cure acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

T hey certainly have a right to) be heard in the election of a Pa‘zrliament to control the affairs of the country during the next five ymrs, and I might ask What right we have to a parliament. in which these men to entrust the affairs of the country might have comparaâ€" tix'ely so small a voice.” vote in the House gives a majority of 20 in favor of an extension of the life of Parliament. it met with 09-- position by such a body of Liberal members that the petition asking for an extension will not likely be forwarded for approval of the Im- perial Parliament. A year ago, a similar bill was carried unani- mously for an extension from Octoâ€" ber 1916 to October 1917, and Sir Robert Borden in his address on the bill expressed his belief that the need to-day for avoiding an elecâ€" tion is just as great as it was‘then. He believed that a general election would precipitate discord and dis- union throughout .the country. Mixireiiiver, he believed that if an ohwction were forced, instead of uniting for the carrying on of the war, the minds of the people would be divided over the election issues and other questions, which would lead to a divided nation. From present. indications, it seems an election-in the Commons is likely to be held beforeihe end of the} present year. Though the Sir Wilfrid Laurie-r, in his ad- dress on the debate, regarded the extension of the life of Parliament. as a, "crime" against the rights of a free 119013110. He was followed by H1111.

On rising, he stated that he pro: posed to put himself on record in opposition to a considerable por- tion of his leader‘s Views, because he had a regard for consistency. Dr. Clark (:Imtrasted the position of Sir \Vill‘rid now with the‘ patriotic position he had taken a year ago. Yet, Sir Robert Borden to-day stood where he. had a year ago. In speaking: of Premier Borden's address, he said: - “I do not. think the Prime Minis-~â€" ter has ever delivered a speech of which he has more reason to be satisfied than the speech in which; he has presented this resolution. It‘ was a consistent speech; it was co- gent in its arguments; it was mani- festly sincere, and when the events of to-day are weighed by the peo- ple of this country, their verdict will he recorded in favor of that cogent and consistent address”. Dr. Clark agreed'that it was not possible to go on extending the life of parliament indefinitely, but he could not see that. there was any gdifl'eren‘te on the battle-field; the position of the Canadian troops there was even more precarious. For that reason, he was compelled to support extension. Turning his attention then to Sir Wilfrid, he commented on the Liberal leader’s Miss Marion Morton, teacher at Alton, is spending her holidays with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. T. Morton. Miss Bertha Putherbough of Tor- ”.th is "Biting at her home here.

AN ELECTION IS LIKELY ABERDEEN laid up he Wiil by the refusal of extension, not with a‘ view to helping on the war for the honor of Canada and the Empire, but with a view to ex- 'changing the people in office for those opposed to them, and with a view to securing the fruits of omce. “In other words. those who are doing notoriously the least. to win the war are forcing the country into the turmoil of a general elec- tion, when the world and all that is best in it is being animated by a spirit of service, of sacrifice and unselfishness, for the most selfish of reasonsâ€"to satisfy petty, person- al ambitions when the fate 0f the world is at stake. I, for one, hesâ€" itate to stand forth as one of a group of the only selfish men to be found in the British Empire or in the civilized world to-day.” Pro-- ceeding, he declared that an elec- tion at the present time would not be fought on any other issue than personalities. If both sides were agreed that the essential thing was the winning of the war, then that could not be made an issue, but it was apparent there was going to be an election and the leader of the Opposition ‘ lad got his work in early.” He had delivered his first election speech that night. "I do not propose to follow my right honffriend, Sir \Vilfrid, very far,” said Dr. Clark, “but at the same time the merits of the Ross rille is a subject on which he is skating on very thin ice. I do not know what he thinks about it, but I do know he was telling us the Ross jammed, and then he agreed with the ex-Minister of Militia that- it was the very best rifle.” He said he referred to that only to indicate the kind of “issues” that would crop up in an election. ection is being forced at this time v‘ U111. k’lllL 1C VIII-L’K/o ' my c0151“. ++++++++++++++++++++++++%+ JPCLl'allDt +o++++++++++++++++++++++¢é 0:4 1 Mrs. N. / 1'01‘11'11’Ni NAPâ€"'11}; Electrical Contractor 789 Dupont St., Toronto, Ont.

If you are determined to settle this on personalities, who are the people who are most likely to conduct this war to a successful conclusion?"
