Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due TO the presence OF living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose ana
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever aud Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured il from one 10 three
simple applications made at home by the

For the general gathering of heavy
crops of apples, pears, etc, there Is
nothing so reliable as the two hands of
man, but when the fruit is somewhat
scattered upon the tree this little device
saves much labor in climbing or moving
a ladder. AS rule the best and largest
fruit is found at the topmost or outside
branches: 1t is almost inaccessible and
can only be secured by shaking of or
bruising in some way. Most fruit pick

a Preacher Finds NstersAi in the Game
for : Pulpit Discourse.
Rev. Forrest F. Dagger. OF Holy Trini-

sermon upon the Moral Lessons on

Eccles XII. .. The scrmo il one Of a
series that Mr.. Dagger Is delivering
upon the amusements Of youth. and
contained many unique parallels on
the National game. He declared that
the game on general principles was q
good thing. and said:
I'VE can moi afford to ignore any
thing that has taken such a universal
hold upon the lives Of our young men
a. baseball, and there are many les
sons to se learned from it. First. the
umpire: the most important person
about n game is the umpire Great
difficulties are experienced in securing
competent umpires. and there are not
over half a dozen in the whole country.
| From this we can draw the Inference.
IL a man Il not competent TO settle dis
putes arising between mar and man
| he certainly Is not TO settle those be-
tween God and man. In the great
game OF life with God as the umpire,
YOU are bound 10 hav fair play.
"A second feature is the need Of
skilled and temperate players. All the
big clubs have found IL necessary TO have
men who have had long practice. and
who are willing to abstain from strong
drink. This Is also necessary TO make

safely said that the great majority o.
all games we're lost BY oDe or two
errors. so 1t Is that one misstep In
