"A writer in the Agricultural Epito-

That the wave of prosperity will
never strike the idle man nor the in

That the farmer who continues in
the old ways is losing ground and
money as well.
That every farmer needs such as
sistancc as the Epitomist gives from

That the successful farmer is up

That when you sec "a farmer trying

That the much-hatcd book farm

That it turns out to be very good

That most Of our great men are

The result is impaired health and pre-.

That the man who talks too much
to his neighbor is left behind, and his

Deafness Cannot DO 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 inhamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inaamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,

The author of this work has set himself
the task of making a truly serious set OF cir
cumstances, exceedingly funny. He has
unquestionably succeeded, as he expresses
it. He wrote the book for the purpose Of
getting even with the myths and heroes OF
antiquity who caused him such anguish in
school days. The Comic History of Greece
is witty and humorous, without being vul.
gar. About $50 illustrations illuminate the
lines from the pencils of half dozen artists.

Blood

Pure Blood
Is Health.

Without blood circulating through your
veins you could not live. Without pure
blood you cannot be well The healthy
action of every organ depends upon the
purity and richness of the blood by which
it is nourished and sustained. II you
have salt rheum, scrofula sores, pimples,
boils or any kind of humor your blood is
not pure. If you take Hoods Sarsaparilla
it will make your blood pure and promptly
relieve all these troubles. In the spring
the blood IS loaded with impurities.
Hence, all those unsightly eruptions, that
languor and depression, and the danger Of
serious illness Hoods Sarsaparilla is
needed to purify, enrich and vitalize the
blood and protect and fortify the system
