Some years ago he ordered monu

he had become very deaf and fancied
that it made him great deal Of

words "The Old Nuisance. The
marble dealer did not approve and con.

family advised that the words be nut
ON in raised letters so that they could
be removed after his death and the
words were accordingly put on in that
way.
When Mr.. Bennett saw the monu.

the plan and declared that he would
not accept the monument unless the
words were cut in sunken letters and
in spite of argument he carried his

High standing collars are now exclu-

however, require that the neck shall be
left bare. or nearly so, and unrestrain-

should be loose and turned down. More
than one case has been recorded in
which tight collars have almost caused
suffocation, the victims being revived
with difflculty. Some two years ago
on the arrival OF the train from Nice
at Paris, rich American traveller was
found dead In one of the compartments

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 Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets inflamed you have
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
FORMAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrb>
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
