Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased porti-e OF the ear There Is
only one way to care Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When the tnbe gets infamed you have a
rumblng sound OF imperfect hearing and
when il is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be destroy

The Advantage Assu, ed.

We are Informed that the early loca.
ton of the Commonwealth Shoe Com
pany in the Bloomfield factory is practi-
cally assured. Our people have suit
scribed the stock necessary to enable the
owners of the building to put 1t In con-
dition for use by the shoe company, to
take care of the floating debt and carry
the insurance on the building. This
businesslike act upon the part of our
citizens is very commendable and shows
that they are disposed to take hold and
help along the business interests OF the
town in every feasible WAY.
The REPORTER WAS confident that our
business men would rise TO the emergen-
cy In this instance as they had in others,
heretofore, and the result justifies our
confidence. We have not as great hust-
ers "a some towns have but we general
y get there In due time. Any project
that has merit in 1t our people are will
ing to take hold of and sometimes take
hold of projects where merit is a
minus quantity. 1t is better, however
to suffer little sometimes, than to re-
frain from doing that which will be of
lasting good to our town. Better TO
make mistake once In while, than to
make the greater mistake of Withholding
aid from all enterprises. The Common
wealth Shoe Company, we are informed,
has established itself In building own
ed by citizens of Gardiner and has done
large business there. 1t Ia expected to
do the same here, and, If 1t does, the
money invested by our citizens will
prove a grand thing for our town. We
confidently expect it will 80 prove.
Skowhegan is fortunate in having en-
terprising citizens who have the good of
the town at heart, and are ready with
good works and ready cash to give tan
CHILE evidence of the interest they have
in the town. All honor to such mer.
Long may they "Wave.'

Letter to w. 10. Steward.

Skowhegan, Me.
Dear Sir. No merchant wants to be
shabby-What does he mean by shabbyi
He may mean his clothes. What Is
shabby for one is dressed up for another.
He may mean his carriage and pair
he may not have any carriage and pair.
He may mean his house, out-houses
and fences. That's what we mean. No
merchant wants his house and barn and
dooryard fence-if he has such a thing
as door-yard fence-to go shabby.
Shabby means crying for paint; and
crying for paint is destruction.
The cheapest way to be handsome and
prosperous. as to ones paint, Is Devoc
lead and zine. 1t is twice as good as
lead and oil, lasts twice as long.
Besides mel chant would rather not
make mistake In a matter of business.
Devoe is economy; anything else is
waste.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEYOE & Co.

poisoning is attracting much attention
at Auburn, this week. His case is a

he made desperate attempts to escape.
