Governor Much Pleased With His Inspection of the National Quard. GOOD WORK AT HARRIBBURG. Much Time Spent Supervising Work for the Forestry and Dairy and Pood Departments, In Which Much Pro gress Is Being Made. Harrisburg, July * SO. —Governor Stone has returned after a week's ab sence In reviewing the National Guard at the annual encampment. "I never felt prouder of my native state than I do tonight," said the gov ernor, enthusiastically, on his arrival here. "I have winessed one of the grandest and most successful assem blages of the troops of the state, and 1 am pleased to say that the National Guard of Pennsylvania was never on a firmer basis, better equipped or better disciplined than It is today. Every where I went, 1 found the officers and men eager to carry out the instructions of their superior officers, and they de ported themselves in a manner to command the highest praise of the representative of the United States army assigned to inspect our militia." Governor Stone will not take a regu lar vacation this summer. He is watch ing the workings of the several state departments closely and finds much to occupy his attention. A WOMAN FORESTER. Since he became governor he has shown a solicitous interest in the de velopment of the forests of Pennsyl vania, and he has in many ways en couraged the department of forestry, which has during the last two years been acquiring many acres of forest lands as the property of the common wealth. Miss Myra Lloyd Dock, of this city, has the honor of being the first woman to become a member of the state for estry commission. She has just re ceived her appointment from Gover nor Stone. Miss Dock has been Identi fied with the forestry movement al most since Its inception In Pennsylva nia, and, while a young woman, she has made her impress upon this Im portant work. She has been a most efficient lecturer and has not only studied the forestry question in the United States, but also in foreign lands, especially in Germany, where she visited the Black Forest and stud ied under the German instructors. Her appointment is in no sense a political one, but comes solely from her fitness for the work. It is acknowledged to be a direct recognition of the important services she has herself rendered the state, and also a recognition of the in valuable aid which the women of Pennsylvania have given this move ment. WORKING FOR PURE BUTTER. Governor Stone has had several con ferences recently with the dairy and food commissioner, his own appointee. Farmer Cope, of Chester county, and Secretary of Agriculture John Hamil ton In reference to the work under their Immediate direction. At the last session of the legislature there was enacted, besides the antl oloomargarine law, an act regulating the sale of process or "worked over" butter. Charles L. Brown, attorney for the dairy and food commission, anticipates that immediate steps will be taken to carry out the provisions of the reno vated butter and oleomargarine legis lation. Commissioner Cope is prepar ing the instructions to the agents of the department, and these will be sent out within a few days. The law went into effect on July 10, and the commissioner believes that those who have been in the business of manufacturing, selling or using "process" or "boiled" butter have now ample opportunity to know the penal tics they incur if they fail to take out licenses. The agents are already mak ing a preliminary canvass of the manu l'acurers. and as soon as the definite instructions are received the net will be thrown out. The penalties for the illegal sale of renovated or process butter are similar to those in the new oleomargarine act. "The intention of the department Is to see that these new laws are rigor ously enforced," safii Commissioner Cope. "The agents are now at work, nnd I anticipate that prosecutions will be begun at an early date. The pro visions of the new oleomargarine law will also be enforced to the strict let ter, and if the department can stop the violations they certainly will be stopped." WANAMAKERITES DISAPPOINTED Politicians of all parties are interest ed In the meeting of the Democratic state convention which is to be held here on the 15th of August. The attempt of the Wanamakerites of Philadelphia to have the Demo crats enter into a fusion deal has aroused a feeling of resentment among stalwart Democrats, and there seems to be an almost universal demand among Democrats In favor of the nom ination of a straight Democratic state ticket. Something of a sensation was cre ated by the rerignation of Charles P. Donnelly as chairman of the Demo cratic city committee of Philadelphia, and the election as his successor of former Governor Robert E. Pattison. PatUson's announcement that he pro poses to reorganize the Democ racy is a disappointment to the Wana maker Democrats who hoped to have the Democratic state organization made an annex to the Wanamaker po litical bureau for the advancement of the Wanamaker political interests.

Deafness is caused by an in* flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube getslinflamed yon have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, 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, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition ot the mucous surfaces.
