Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infianed condition Of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
the tube gets infialned you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation 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 in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Fourteen Miles Of Signatures.

The work of signing the checks for
the payment of the March pensions
was completed Saturday, says the
Columbus Journal. There are about
100000 pensioners on the rolls and
the check foneach has to be signed
by either General Rice or his secre-
tary. Nearly all of them are signed
by the latter who has written the
name about 100, 900 times this quarter.
The line made in writing the name
of the secretary would, if drawn
straight, be about 6! inches long.
Placed end TO end they would reach
a little over IA miles. A new set of
checks have to be signed each quart
er and this is the eleventh set which
have been signed,

Theatre.

Manager Halter has succeeded in
securing Mr.. Porter ]. White and his
excellent company for a two night
engagement for March 11th and 18th.
Faust and money Man" will be
rendered. This will be the theatrical
event of the season and the opera
house will no doubt be filled on the
nights of Marh IL and 10. The Ameri-
can of Owosso, Mich, says of Mr..
White and his company:
The theatre goers of this city were
given rare treat by the production
of Faust by Porter j. Whites COM
pany of talented artists last night.
Mr.. White was with the John Nor
rison Faust" company and played
Mephisto for five years, at all the
principal cities in the Uunited States,
and his training under the noted
Morrison has won for him the success
which he now enjoys. The public
will remember the production of
Faust by Joseph Callahan's COM
pany, and the success with attended
it, but when Mr.. White makes his
appearance as Mephisto one seems
over-awed and almost in the presence
VI Lu6 ruler OI bl6 lnlcTu1l ISSIOnS.
The entire effects are said to be the
best of any Faust company on the
road and are beautiful in the ex-
treme.
The company halls from New York
City and has played in all the prin-
cipal cities in the east, and Napoleon
may well feel favored with a visit
from Mr.. Whites company. In many
cities the reserved seats have been
sold before his company arrived, and
the company should be received with
full house as the play is indorsed
by the clergy.
Mr.. White as Mephisto is unexcel-
led and the work of this artist
should not be missed, his press notices
having won for him his present posi-
tion in the theatrical world. Anthony
Audrey who plays the role of Faust
is said to be the best in the Union,
and his work last evening bears out
this statement. Alvin w. Jack, as
Valentine carries the part admirably
and shows himself to be an actor of
rare merit.

COSTS MORE THAN COFFEE.

grocery, said they found Postum the

used to of coffee because the children
all drink it, and there are four of
them, and wife and myself, that
makes six using Postum, while for
merly was the only one who drank
coffee; wife used it now and then, but
it didn't agree with her."
''Send up two packages of the Bat
tie Creek, Mich, Postum Cereal. We
find it ia food and nourIshment, and
for the same money we get three cups
of Postum to one of coffee. The way
my family drink it, however, it costs

Course They Should.

A favorite assertion of the modern
trained child's nurse is that no
healthy baby cries. If he is well, as
he should be, and properly clothed
and looked after, he will not cry.
But, on the other hand some medical
authorities assert that crying is the
chief and best exercise for young
children, and one hospital superin-
tendent says that u healthy baby
should cry three orlsfour times q day
at least and from ten totifteeIi ininu-
tes at time. The latter proposition
is no doubt correct, but the young
ster should beearefully instructed to
make his appointments at times
when the head of the household is
absent.

HARD TIMES
How to Live, HOV 70 save and
How to Deal in Margins.

Most people live without
counting the cost expecting
something to turn up; to strike
some scheme or to find some
thing which will not only en-
able them to pay their debts
but make them wealthy. He
who surely follows this plan
will just as surely come tc
want. He who calculates well
will, at the end of the year,
see what his expenses and in
come have been. If he finds
his income has not been suf.
AcieIt to meet his bills and lay
up a small margin besides, he
should begin to look around
and see where he can cut down
best. The past year has beer
a hard one on every one OF us
and this year we will all have
to cut down our expenses
There are many ways in which
a man can save, that Q little
here and a little there will soor
amount to a large sum. Fol
instance, when you go to buy
your Drugs, Books, Oils and
Paints, Wall and Window Pa
pers, go to Saur & Balsley's
Drug and Book Store vi here
you will always fibd a large,
nice stock to select from. GET
their prices, then if you are
not suited 60 elsewhere and
see If you can not do a little
better. Always go where you
can get what you need (not
what you want), for the least
money.
Messrs. Saur & Balsley have
had over thirty years Of con.
tinuous business experience in
their line, and have always
made an effort to buy goods
at the very lowest cash prices.
In the drug department. every
thing is kept nice, new and
fresh; no old remedies allowed
to accumulate and only those
which have been tried and
proved, are recommended by
this house. In the line Of
Paints, Oils and Varnishes the
best in the land is always Sc
cured and sold at the lowest
prices. Wall and window pa
pers, cloth shades and fixtures
are made a speciality. Every
thing in the line Of School
Books, Miscellaneous Books,
Blank, books for all kind Of
tradesmen, Pass Books, Mem,
oranuums, Diaries, Writing Pa
per, Stationary, ETC., you will
always find complete and sold
at bottom prices. Trusses, Sup
porters, Shoulder Braces and
Surgical Instruments of all
kinds kept constantly on hand
and can be furnished on short
notice.
During this season a special
price will be put on all paints

It: is Easy to Tell

People who fail to look after their
health are like the carpenter who neg
lects to sharpen his tools. People are
not apt to get anxious about their
health soon enough. If you are mot
quite well'' or "half sick' have you
ever thought that your kidneys may
be the cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine or twenty-four hours;
sediment or settling indicates an I'M
healthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain
or dull ache in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
There is satisfaction in knowing
that the great remedy DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, fulfills every wish in re-
lieving weak or diseased kidneys and
all forms of bladder and urinary trou
bles. Not only does Swamp-Root give
new life and activity to the Kidneys
the cause of trouble, but by treating
the Kidneys it acts as a tonic for the
entire constitution. If you need
medicine take Swamp-Root-it cures.
Sold by druggists, price fifty cents
and one dollar, or by sending your ad-
dress and the name of this paper to
