Consumption Is no

respecter of persons. The germs of this most dreadful Of diseases float in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, in the money we handle Perfectly harmless in a healthy body, they are absolutely deadly wherever weakness exists. The lungs are the most sensitive of all the vital organs. The delicate lining of the lung cells ard passages IS easily irritated. II the blood Is impure and gern.ful the lung lining soon becomes inflamed. I'm pure matter accunlulates. If q consunp- ton germ is ii the body it lodges there and propagate. Soon the entire body is full of bacilli and consumption has firm hold.
 Many doctors say that consumption is incurable and necessarily fatal. 7Hey gre mistaken. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ica1 Discovery will cure eS per cent. of all cases of consumption, If taken prompt 1y according to directions It has cured thousands. It is quickly absorbed by the blood and searches out every disease germ in the body. 1t assists nature to throw off germs and all effete matter and restores the body to perfect health and strength.
 When the bowels are clogged they unload tleir impurities into tie blood which in turn deposits them throughout the entire system. The victim of this condition suffers from headaches, blurred vision, heartburn, soEr stomach, foul taste ia the mouth fatulence and biriousness.

Christmas Eye anQ Day.

The day dear to the hearts of young and old alike, broke forth balHay and beautiful, and reminded one of the lovely Spring days that occur in April in the Eastern States when @ cold and severe winter Is over.
 On Christmas Eve the teachers of our public school, with the assistance of the parents, gave 8 school exhibi- tion in the new hall of Modesti's on Main street. After the exercises were concluded a curtain was pulled back and beautiful Christmas tree was exposed to view and the children went wild with joy. All were re membered and went home happy.
 At midnight high mass was cele- brated at the Catholic Church by Father Eheldoi. The church was damned. The music furnished by the choir was beautiful. Another high mass was celebrated at g o'clock the following morning.
 Rev. pr. Belknap of the II. 2. Church preached several sermons during the day.
 At2 o'clock the ladies of the Cath ollie Church, who had been indefatig- able in their efforts to give the Cate chism class Q Christmas tree, com pleted their labors and beautiful tree, bending under the weight of presents for every child in the Sun day school class, which now numbers I2O children, could be seen in the large room on the south end of the convent building on Main street.
 The arxiously awaiting little ones were marched into the room by their teachers and seated. After tke ren- dering of 8 Christmas Carol by the class distribution of the presents to the youngster was begun. It was a beautiful sight to see the look of ex- pectancy on the faces of the little ones and when a name was called, how happy the child looked on re- ceivfng it's gift.
 The day will no doubt be long re- membered by these children, and a greater amount of studying will be done with a hope that they will be re- membered next Christmas.
 In the evening very pleasant dance was enjoyed by our young peo- pie at the Southern Pacific Hotel.

Deafness is caused by an indamed condition Of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inaamed you have Q rumbIing sound or imperfect hearing, and when it IS entirely. closed, Deai- ness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
