Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure catarr-
bal deafness, and that is by a consti-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness
-vis caused by an inflamed condition of
' mucous lining of the Eustachian
When this tube is inflamed,
have a rumbling sound or imper-
hearing, and when it is entirely
sed, Deafness Is the result. Un-
the inflamation can be reduced,
this tube restored to its nortfnai
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an in-
flamed condition of tbe mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of
„ the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Ca-
arrh Cure. Circulars free. All drug-

OWNERS OF WHEAT MAY
GRIND LIMITED SUPPLY
At the regular meeting of the Cham-
ber of Commerce held Monday night,
March 25, there was an unusually
good attendance—better than is ordi-
narily the case. Nearly every chair
in the Mayor’s office was filled.
Following the reading of the min-
utes and correspondence in the sec-
retary’s hands, the first item under
new order of business taken up was
the subject of preparing for the com-
ing here of R party of speakers who
are touring Texas in behalf of the
next Liberty loan. By an oversight
the event had not been advertised and
President Shropshire authorized the
printing of handbills to advertise the
hour and place and further appointed
committees to use the telephone and
call up citizens in all towns of the
county outside of Weatherford. These
committees comprised Geo. W. Fritz,
H. L. Brevard, J. O. Tucker and W. S.
Fant. The speaking was scheduled
for 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, in
the court house.
The question of moving up all the
clocks In the city one hour to comply
with the newly-enacted congressional
law, was brought up by J. E. H. Rai-
ley; he suggested that next Saturday
night would be the best time for the
clocks to be set forward. T. R. Erwin
suggested that a signal be sounded
in order to secure uniformity of ac-
tion. In regard to the schools, Pro-
fessor Stanley wanted uniformity of
action in order that confusion would
not arise between the pupils of the
city schools and the parents.
It was decided finally that all clocks
should be set forward one hour next
Monday morning at 8 o’clock and that
the waterworks whistle should be
sounded just at that hour. Veal Car-
roll promised that he would attend to
blowing the whistle. The Chamber of
Commerce urges every citizen to com-
ply with this action and the federal
law requiring this to be done.
Professor Stanley called attention
to the prosperous condition of Weath-
erford, stating that a new school cen-
sus was being taken, and that the
principal in Ward No. 2 had found but
one vacant house in that ward.
The secretary suggested that it
would be a good idea to have some
permanent signs made and place them
on the factory buildings when erected,
at the peanut factory and the can-
ning factory, advertising the fact that
those industries were built as direct
result of efforts put forth by the
Chamber of Commerce. The sugges-
tion was adopted and recommendation
made to the board of directors that
the secretary be ’ authorized to have
proper signs made and put up.

RAILROADS GET ORDER TO
MOVE CLOCK HANDS AHEAD
Washington, March 26.—Most night
trains technically will be one hour
late next Sunday morning as a result
of the changing of time under the
new daylight saving bill. Director
General McAdoo Monday ordered rail-
roads to move their clocks ahead one
hour at 2 o’clock Sunday morning in
conformity with the law. Trains will
leave for destinations Saturday night
at the old time.
W. V. Shadle, county food adminis-
trator, announced Tuesday morning
that he had received a ruling from the
department saying that owners of
wheat are not permitted to have
ground over thirty days’ supply of
flour. The ruling also declares that
in no circumstance is one allowed to
buy wheat for grinding for own con-
sumption.
Mr. Shadle said that heretofore
owners of wheat have been able to
have any amount of it ground into
flour.

EIGHT PARKER COUNTY MEN

may send as many as ten men. The

o’clock Saturday morning, March 30.

Vigorous Old Man Stops in City.
M. D. L. Sellers, aged 91 years, and
a good example of physical strength,
stopped in Weatherford for a few
hours Tuesday, enroute to his home
in Urbana, 111. He had been in Min-
eral Wells since last October, and
while there had been walking at least
fifty blocks each day. Despite his ex-
treme old age, he appears to have
more strength than the average man
at 45 years. He says he never takes
a cab at a station if the place to which
he is going is not over two and a half
miles. His step is Such as resembles
that of a youth and the sparkle of his
eyes and his ever pleasant smile are
such as to make him a pleasing per-
sonality in an audience of persons of
any age.
School of Methods Opened.
The school of methods now being
conducted at Grace Presbyterian
church started in good shape yester-
day afternon at 3:45. There were
not so many in attendance as might
have been.
This is the greatest opportunity the
people of tbe city have had for a long
time and we hope every one who is
interested in the up-to-now methods
of church and Sunday school work
will take advantage of it. It wouldf.
do those who are not interested, a lot
of good and we are sure they would!
become so if they would enter thi®
school. Every evening at 7:45^
will be an address, which is
the public.
W^ N. Wiggins, secretary of the
State Sunday School Association, de-
Jivered a fine address last evening on:
“The Present Day Program.”
Rev. S. W. Hutton, superintendent
of religious education of the South-
west of the Christian church, who I®
one of the teachers in this school,,
will give the popular address this
evening at 7:45. Subject, “Guardian
of Democracy.” Don’t fail to hear him.
