That Cantankerous Old Woman

Described in The nursery ballad. who "lived
upon nothing but victuals and drink. )" and
yet would never be quiet" was undoubtedly
troubled with chronic Indigestion. Her
victuals, like those of many other elderly
persons whose digestive powers have become
impaired. didn't agree with her. This was
before the era Of Hostetters Stomach Bitters.
or some one of her numerous friends and
relatives would undoubtedly have persuaded
her TO try the great specific for dyspepsia,
constipation and billiousness. This would
have been measure OF self-protection on
theii part, for she would soon have been
cured and ceased to DISTURB them with Der
clamor. The most obstinate cases of indiges-
ton, with its attendant heartburn, fiatu-
lence, constant uneasiness OF the stomach
and OF the nerves, are completely overcome
by this sovereign remedy. Chills and fever
and bilious ramittent, rheumatism and kid
ney troubles are also relieved by 1t.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the mucus lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inilamed you have a mbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when IL is entirely
closed, deafness Is the result, and unless the
inf I'm nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarTh, which is nothing but
an inilamed condition OF the mucus surfaces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness, caused by catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure.

steel works of Andrew Carnegie at
Pittsburg, where the men refuse to
accept reduction of 10 per cent in
their wages. Naturally the men who
are thus oppressed by heartless mo-

of the people, but as these men voted
like sheep last fall for the high pro-
lection that enables their employers
not only to bleed the consumers but
to become absolute antocrats over
their employees, the public will not
waste much pity on them. Carnegie
before election and Carnegie after
election, it will be observed, are very
different personages.

BAD WORD SOCIETIES.

Ar Interesting Movement to Suppress
Profanity Among the Youth.
Bad word societies are the latest
institutions at several Of the New York
City schools. They are destined to do
a deal OF good that is OF nature that
generally lies beyond the reach OF
teachers. There are few Fairgrounds
attached to boys schools in this cOun-
try where language is not constantly
used which would grieve and astound
the mothers of those who utter and OF
those who hear them.
The rules Of the Bad Word Society
are usually not written down; but they
are something like this: 'One cent
fine for every bad word spoken; every
boy to report his own bad words to the
treasurer and pay up; no telling OF
any other boys bad word; the money
to go to the school library"
This is simple and practical. Per-
haps the scheme might be enlarged a
little so as to include the grosser forms
of bad grammar, such as 81 done it, y
them cabbages." and 'you was" II
is highly absurd that the boys who
have been going to a grammar school
for years should violate the most rudi-
mental laws OF grammar every time
they speak ten consecutive words.
But the main point is to destroy the
habi: OF polluting the mouth and cor
rupting the heart by the use OF words
which they call ''bad." Every boy
knows what they are, for no one can
keep beyond the sound of them. They
pollute the air Of every street, and are
heard more or less wherever and
whenever there Is a company of boys
playing together. They partly cause
the dread that mothers feel when they
see their little ones going for the first
time to boys school. The mothers
watch their boys departure with q
mixture of pride, pleasure and appre-
hension, and turn away from the win
dow at last with a sigh, because they
know that few older boys yet realize
what duty they owe to younger ones
in the way of good example. .-Educa-

In provisions few reductions are noted.
Fresh fruit continues we'll supplied, and
