by locai applications, as they can-
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eust-
achian Tube. When the tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect bearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf-
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its nor-
mal condition, hearing will 06 des-
troyed forever; nine eases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any ease of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

NAZARINE ASSEMBLY
WILL BEGIN WITH
PROTRACTED MEETING
“Barriers Burned Away” was
the vehicle for the Gilson-Brad
field Stock Co. last night at the
Princess Theatre. This play opens
the theatrical season in Ballinger
and was branded by the large
audience as an unqualified suc-
cess.
The play as interpreted by this
company was indeed a sensation.
The character of “Christine
Rudolph” was very ably portray-
ed by Miss Alice DcLane, the
leading lady. This role was one
of innumerable difficulties and
one that a lesser artist would
probably have over-acted. Not so,
however, with Miss DcLane.
Earnest Winters as “Dennis
Fleet” quite carried the house
with his emotional acting, and
was an able half to Miss DcLane.
The entire company is a party
of skill in depicting the tragic
and comic phases of life and are
no novices in the art of dramatic
impersonation.
The special electrical effects
were superb and would do credit
to a much larger organization
in a much larger theatre. The
scenic effects were also good and
lend aid to the illusion in diverse
ways. Tonight many changes will
he made in the benefit of the
house, imp* ssible last night on
account of lack of adequate infor-
mation.
The play tonight “A Bachelor’s
Honeymoon” a comedy in four
acts gives assurance of genuine
worth and will please many peo-
ple of all classes, who appreciate
good comedy put on as it should
he. There will he no advance in
prices over last night’s perform-
ance and tin* prices remain 25c,
35c and 50c.; seats now on sale
at the Walker Drug Go.

Will Stop Headache
If headache develops while shopping
or at business just step in any gooii
drug store and ask at the fountain
for Hick's Capudine, which is so suc-
cessful in relieving headache because

cold, heat, nervousness or gripp. It
is liquid and pleasant to take. Don’t
