Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear There ia
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness to
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it to
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi-
tion. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Arrest for Debt
While imprisonment for debt as it
at one time existed in English and
American law, by which a debtor
might be arrested and imprisoned for
mere liability to pay his creditor, no
longer exists in the United States, the
statutes of the majority of the states
provide for the arrest of a defendant
in a civil action under certain condi- |
lions, such as fraud, or torts, or em-
bezzlement, etc.
A Common Failing.
A couple of visitors from a rural dis-
trict
Men Meant for Leaders.
Some things are better as private
property. Others ought to be shared.
In dally life, Robert Louis Stevenson’s
rule of distribution is a good one:
“Keep your fears to yourzelt, but
share your courage with others."
Those who follow this rule always be-
come leaders in the end by sheer
force of character growth.
Friend of the Farmer.
Dr. Marion Dorset, bi-chemist of the
federal bureau of animal industry, is
the scientist who first isolated the
germ responsible for that farm scourge
cholera in the hog. That accomplished,
he perfected a serum to combat it,
protected his processes by patents and
then turned them over to the public,
to be used without charge.
Primitive Time Keeping.
Clocks are uncommon luxuries
among the natives of West Africa, and
events are dated by the everyday hap-
were in the strangers’ gallery in penings. For example, a native writer
4 . . wrote that she received the news of
her sister’s sickness “a little while be-
the house of commons trying to rec-
ognize their member on the floor. “I
can't distinguish him,” said one, after
a hopeless visual observation. “Of
course not,” was the honest reply.
“He can’t even distinguish himself.”
—Tit-Bits.
fore the guinea fowls talk." i. e., about
five o'clock in the morning.
Two Kinds of Wisdom.
There are two kinds of wisdom—
the kind found in books, which any-
body can get; and the kind found in
you, which only you can get--Wil-
liam J. Burtscher.
Armageddon.
Literally Armageddon means “hill
of Migeddo.” Figuratively the word
means the place of the great battle,
wherever it may be—the scene of the
struggle of good and evil. There was
never any actual battle of Armaged-
don.
i The New and the Valuable.
What is valuable is not new, and
what is new is not valuable.—Daniel
Webster.

YOUR CHILD’S
EYE SIGHT
You are responsible for the eyes of
your child. Watch out for frowns
and squints. When he reads or
looks at a picture book does he hold
it too near or too far? These little
things grow fast, but in many cases
can be overcome if discoved in time
We Insist that you
bring the children In
You may save them a life-time of
strain and weak sight. Defects of
vision never disappear of their own
accord-in most cases grow worse. Its
a duty you owe your child

Life’s Little Things.
Life is made up, not of great saeri-
fices or duties, but of little things in
which smiles and kindnesses and
small obligations, given habitually,
are what win and preserve the heart
and secure comfort—Sir Humphry
Davy.
Daily Thought.
A man who lives right, and is right,
has more power in his silence than
another by his words. Character is
like bells which ring out sweet music,
and which, when touched accidentally
even, resound with sweet music.—Phil-
lips Brooks.
Algeria’s River of Ink.
In Algeria there is a river of ink.
In the upper part of its course it
flows through beds of decaying moss,
in the lower part through strata of
iron ore, and thus, through the combi-
nation of the two, its waters acquire
very nearly the color and something
of the taste of black ink.
Hard on the Young Folks.
“So you want four incandescent
lights installed in the front parlor?”
said the electric light man. “Yes,”
replied Mr. Grouch, who objects to his
daughter’s callers, “and I want you
to remove those little thumb-snaps so
they can't be turned oft.”
