Many Ways to Entertain Children.

interest they took il their spool knitting.
Their own little darlings will surely be
just as delighted with it. Put leaf from
your table across two chairs, put on it a
few blocks of wood and cut up a few
potatoes, but be sure not to forget the most
important articles-tha is, the paper for
wrapping and money. Then let them be
storekeepers while you do your sewing and
give orders TO the play errand boy Keep
your darning cotton for rainy days, and
they will only be too eager to wrap it off
the card on to an empty spool for greater
comfort for you later on. Read pleasant
stories to children before retiring, and they
will sleep and dream pleasantly Above
all things interest yourself in your child's
amusements, and You will be none the less
loved for your trouble

ment of little ones on stormy DAYS, take

Working Dfthe Poems.

few years ago poetry was bought and
read by few beyond the lettered class, and
the narrowneSs of Is circle rendered il a
somewhat costly art icle to produce. Much
of the best poetry has been published at the

ultimate loss, but the new craze for varie-
ties in bookland opened another door to the
literary peddler-a very little warineSs

was started, fulfilled and has, it seems,
succeeded.

YOUR HEARING.
Is it Gradually Growing Duller?-
Catarrh Causes it-Stop
il Now.

Mr.. Peterson's case illustrates the
danger of allowing these troubles to
run on, and should be carefully read
by everyone.
A very large per cent of these cases
of deafness and roaring noises is due
to the extension of catarrh to the
eustachian tubes and inner ears.
Many of the most remarkable cures
that have been accomplished by the
physicians of the Scott Medical In
stitute have been in the restoration
of hearing lost or dulled from ca
tarrhal extension. 1t is folly to wait
for a trouble like this to get well it
self. 1t don't get well, but always
gets worse, until frequently the hear
ing is entirely destroyed. A thor
ough course of treatment with a ca
pable specialist. who goes right at
the cause of the trouble and removes
it, is the only hope.
DR.. Wilson and his medical asso-
ciates cure all cases of deafness
caused by catarrh.
