There is more catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-

supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,

The fact that myopia ia frequent

1t is not so well known that impair
ed hearing is also frequently met with.
Tho children thus affected are often ac-
oused of being lazy and innttentive,
when in reality their ears are at fault
Helot shows that these cases are quito
common, are easily recognized, are gen
orally durable and when cured large
number of children are transformed, so
to speak, both from a physical and Il
moral standpoint. According to We'll
of Stuttgart. the proportion of school
children with impaired hearing is 35
per cent; according to Moure Of Bor-
deaux, II per cent. Helot agrees with
Gete and other aurists that tho proper
ton is 90 per cent or one.fourtb. All
the children in a class should DO care

WCTORlA'S REGAL RIGHT.
Why the Niece of william " Was Called
to the Throne.

Several newspapers, in explaining to
their readers how Queen Victoria came
to succeed William ", say it was be-
cause she was his niece. That is the
truth, but only half tho truth, Tor Will
lam ~ had nephews and other nieces.
George HIS first, second, third and
fourth sons were respectively the Prince
of Wales, afterward George ", who
died childless in 1880; Frederick, duke
OF York, who died in 1897, also with
out children; William, duke of Clar-
ence, who died William ", June 20,
1887. without lawful issue, and Ed
ward, duke of Kent and Strathearn
and earl of Dublin, who died Jan, 90,
1920, aged 90, leaving as the sole issue
of his marriage with Princess Victoria
of Leiningen baby daughter, now
Queen Victoria. The queen succeeded
William ~ not because sho was simply
his niece, but because she was the only
child Of the brother next TO him in the
order Of succession.
Had Queen Victoria had brother
she would in all probability not have
been u parsonage of historical celebrity,
save in the contingency of succeeding
him. Her rights were those that de.
volyed on her from her father. At the
time she succeeded to the throne her
uncles-the Dukes of Cumberland, of
Sussex and Cambridge-were living,
younger brothers of her father and jun

the order named Tho Duke of Cumber-
land, who became king of Hanover on
the death Of William ", was man Of
such despotic temper and principles
that all England cherished the Prin-
cess Victoria as standing between il
and his succession to the throne. He
had lawful issue, rs had the Duke Of
Cambridge.

Doctors could donothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital.
/ will tell you about it:
I had been in my usual health, but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, I flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was a Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady
called on me, and recommended Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it. 1
said / would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. I still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.-MRs. B. A. LOMBARD,

About four years ago, scientific at
tention was given, for the first time.
to a very distinct variety of mushroom
raised for market by a Long Island
grower, who found it especially suitable
to summer culture. This mushroom,
Agaricus subrufescens Peck. was rather
coarser in appearance than the variety
ordinarily grown (Agaricus campestrisD
and different in color, the gills being Of
a rusty-reddish tint. The new mush-
room proved to be of an excellent quail
ity, a heavy yielder and very easily
grown, fiourishing in open frames out
side. The only drawback to its Gull
ture was the fact that many purchasers
objected to its unfamiliar appearance,
fearing that it might be an unwhole-
some variety.-Rural New Yorker.

a refrigerant gas which is forced

To accurately determine the duration

Don't Blame the Weather.

Don't blame the wet season for the
condition of many of your roads. See
tina, your candidates for local offices
favor good roads, and then supply them
with the information that will enable
them to know how to get and keep
them. Most people are all at sea on
these subjects. The heavy rains of
the summer have given startling object
lessons to road-builders and superin-
tendents in some sections of the coun.
try. Roads that were nearly fiat and
which lacked proper drainage were
swept over by the water. In some spots
the surface was torn away; in others it
was covered with stone and earth.
This did not happen where roads were
suitably crowned and drained.-L. A

Harvesting weedy Potatoes.

That sins of neglect will follow
a man until he is duly punished is never
more con~clusively proven than when
the neglected potato field comes to be
harvested. Not only is the crop greatly
~lessened, but the labor of harvesting
has been increased. As a matter of
fact, the farmer who can and does keep
his potatoes free from weeds saves Ia
Dor by the operation. Sooner or later
the weeds have to be uprooted. 1t costs
less to do this while they are small. If
done then the yield of marketable tu-
bers is so much increased and the ex-
pense of harvesting is decreased, so
that it really costs less TO harvest a
large crop kept free from weeds than
to harvest a crop failure made so be-
cause oyerrun with weeds.
