ley" was abby handled in an interest,
ing paper by Or. PhiIbrick.
An interesting feature OF the pro-
gram was an original poem by Mrs. W.
A. Rankins, who had been requested to
write upon The Daughters Of the Revo-
luton" The subject was not confioed
to the local branch in Mrs. Rankin's
pretty verses, but embodied instead the
patriotic spirit Of the organization at
large, with but the closing lines ad-
dressed to the Lincoln chapter. The
poem would be most appropriate for use
on one Of the anniversary days, with
their special obeervancee.
The fact that many OF the chapters
members ere descended from Connect
cut forefather's was brought out at the
round table.

She was at once recognized as a con.

range. Since her debut she has been
heard in many OF the principal cities of
the country in connection with leading
oratorio societies. Critics are unaui.
nous in the opinion that not since the

contralto voice been heard. The regis.

and her execution of scale passages il
practically hawlees. The power and
quality Of her voice are remarkable.

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of ;he eus-
tachan tube. When this tube gets in

the inflammation can be taken ont and
this tube restored to its normal condition,

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form Of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and it has never since returned"

It is true wisdom for every
body to take a thorough course of
Swift's Specific just at this season
of the year. The blood is sluggish
and impoverished, and the system
is full of impurities which should
be eliminated. In addition to
thoroughly cleansing the blood,
and toning up the system so as to
avoid loss of appetite and q gem
eral rundown feeling in the
spring, S. S. S. so strengthens and
builds up as to fortify against the
many forms of dangerous illness
that abound during the hot sum-
mer season. 1t is very small
matter to take this precaution but
it insures health and strength all
summer. Swift's Specific
