TEXAS Sandwich is a red-hot
home industry advocate, and
contends that the ladies are in a
position to encourage home in
dustries to even a greater extent
than the men. They do nine
tenths of the buying for the
household, and if they will see
that no foreign made article
comes in their kitchens, when
there is one of a home make to
be had, they will do the cause a
greater service than any other
they can bestow. Let them all
put their fair shoulders to the
wheel and help us carry this
to a finish.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, 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 infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustschian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its norma
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an irhamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness caused by cstarrh)that can
not be cured by Halls Cstarrh Cure. Send
Tor circulars, free.

A TRIBUTE TO WIFE AND HOME.

at the National Travellers Asso-
ciation, which recently convened
at Nashville:
"Much has been said and writ
ten on the achievements of man
Monuments of costly marble
mark the resting-place of our
heroic dead, The historians pen
smoothly glides in tracing the
golden thread of glorious life.
l would not pluck enc laurel from
the brow Of our nations heroes,
but is not this the place and a
time most fitting to pay a tribute
to her who is the stay and sup
port and the uncrowned queen of
our home? The men whose names
are written upon the honor roll
of time, are but the repro
duction of the greatness of
the mother, whose hand rock
ed them in the cradle of in
nocency, and whose lips sang the
sweetest lullaby of a mothers
heart to infant ears. The sacred
precinct of home is to the travel
ing man the harbor of safety af-
ter a stormy voyage on the COM
mercial sea. AS the goddess of
liberty, the wife stands at the
of home holding in
her hand the beacon light, of
love, while the light, of her soul
extends far out upon the troubled
sea-bids the storm-tossed ma
riner welcome home. Without
the light and love of this peace
ful harbor the voyage of life
would indeed be gloomy. The
compass would be meaningless
the star would lose its beauty and
the anchor would be a useless
burden. How often, mid light
ning's flash and thunder's roar,
mid Tapping sails and beating
our hearts grow faint.
The wreekage of many a proud
bark floated upon the rolling
1eep, while beneath its troubled
waters the once proud mate and
nasts have sunk to rise no
in this hour of awful gloom
the soul looks up and sees the
light and feels the joy of wife
and home.
EfThe sun may climb the dome
Of heaven and pour his genial
rays upon cloud and storm and
nil and vale, or melt in tears the
ce berg's frozen mass. And so
with love of wife, before this love
livine the storms of life are gone;
from lips of love she speaks
peace to the storm and to the
pillows be STILL
During the late war, when
he two armies were encamped
IN the banks of the Rapidan, as
he shadows of the evening had |
lushed into silent slumber the
world of nature, and the pale en-
'ress of night poured her SHIN
nering rays through the foliage
If the trees upon the ripping
waters of the silent river, the
stiffness of the evening wasl
broken by music-the band play
ng the national air. The patriot
SIN of the federal soldiers was
Weakened, and their shouts echo
ID throughout the camp. Soon
.fter, the band played Dixie
nd the old grenadiers of the
outh shouted again. For a time
fitness peigned, then low and
weet the music of Home, Sweet
Iome' rolled out on the evening
and the echoes, as from
ONE angelic harp sweeping
trough the eiysian realms of the
lest, met a responsive chord
lat vibrated in the bosom of the
oldier, regardless of the color of '
is clothes or the flag under
,hich he fought

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
catarrh. Halls catarrh cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
thereby destroying the foundation OF
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
