by local applications as they can not reach
the diseased portions OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, ard that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, DEAFNESS is the
result, and unless the Inflammation 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
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition OF the mucous surface.

AN OLD THEORY EXPLODED.

Womanly Aspirations May ClimbHigh,
Even Though Y Youth Has Been Passed.
Humble minded matrons are conspicuous
by their absence, and this is well. ltdoesn't
do for the woman bidding adieu to extreme
youth to accept a back seat IN her own
particular kingdom.
The matron is there TO reign whether
belonging to bachelorhood or mother
hood. 1t is well for hsr own peace of mind
thai she should learn this early in her career.
To be somebody and something is her watch
word. The world could not move on
single day without her push, her pluck.
The woman WHO knows this teaches her
Sons and daughters and friends to believe
10 the same. Feminine back numbers are
still imbued with the old-fashioned theory
that in every woman's life there comes a
time, and it is generally in the thirties,
when she must step down and let younger
sisters take her place.
She steps down and out. Nobody offers
q protest Why should they? If she
hasn't sense enough to take care of ber
own personal interests who is going to
take care of them for her?
Just imagine for a single instance OF a
mans referring to himself as an old man
at forty-five or fifty. Why, if he is a
bachelor the youngest bud isn't too young
for him, and If be is widower be thinks
be can pick from whole garden of girls.
This is quite as it should be. / haven't
. word to say against man getting the
best OF this world goods, but rather admire
him for his smartness In doing so. Let
woman follow his lead and arrogate to her
self the same privilege.
1t is pathetic, Irritating, disgusting to
see the abjeot gratitude displayed by women
Of maturity, who should be given an honcred
place In social circles, il anybody throws
them a crumb OF attention.
These are the women whose dauQflte ers.
husbands, brothers, and friends daily make
them feel that they have but little in COM
mon with youths activities.
Ridiculous! There is no position to which
. woman cannot aspire If her life has been
q well-ordered one.

sufficiently. These corsets are also made
in white coutille, with lace aud ribbon

at the bust. Only these, too, and at the
front and side seams are they boned, and
the look of body is given them by

coat may be buttoned. This model can
be had for $3.
ATHLETIC STAYS.
An elastic corset for cycling, golf and
other athletic pleasures is ideally suited

FOR FAT AND THIN WOMEN.
Again for athletic women who do not
care to have the body kept too warm
there is a novel thing in stays. This is a
ventilative affair made of linen braid,
or narrow satin ribbon crossed in squares
and liberany bound at the top and down
strips.
Corsets for fat women are enormously
long, but the newest ones are very lowset
at the bust, which does away with that
ugly crowding up OF the flesh so long seen.
The bottom fits on the hips like cap
in almost straight line, and is finished
with a wide elastic band that stretches or
rolls up slightly in sitting.
This makes it possible for such stays
to s,e worn without great discomfort; and
