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 intiamed CON
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this lube gets in
damed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entire.
~ closed deafness is the result, and un-
less 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 ca
tarrh which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces,
We will give one Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Ca

A TEMPERANCE MEDICINE,

The fact is especially underscOred
that Golden Medical Discovery" is alb
sOlutely and altogether a temperance
medicine in the most extreme meaning
of the term temperance. 1t is a free
from opium, cocaine and all other mar
cOtics as it is from whisky and alCo-
hol in every form, In view Of the fact
that false formulas Of this medicine
have of late been published, and ignOr-
ant persons have been led by these false
formulas to doubt the truth Of our
claim that Golden Medical Discovery
is a non-alCohOlic and non-narcotic
medicine.

den Medical Discovery" will cure as
that two and two make four. We say
almost as sure, because as a matter of
record two people in every hundred
do fail of a perfect cure. But the
ninety eight people in that hundred
who use Golden Medical Discovery"
fairly and faithfully are perfectly and
permanently cured.
The record of cures made by DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
covers a period of more than thirty
years and the treatment and cure of
more than half a million people. 1t is
a notable feature of these cures that in
a lare proportion of cases they were
effected in men and women whom the
doctors had failed to help, and in many
cases abandoned to their fate. 1t is
at this point that many take advan-
tage of DR.. Pierces offer of free con-
sultation by letter. Thousands of peo-
ple who have not the courage to try
| the Discovery write to DR.. Pierce
| and, encouraged by his reply, revealing
| at once his understanding Of the dis
| ease and his sympathy with the suffer
| er, they begin to take the first step
! toward health.
| Sick people are invited TO consult
DR.. Pierce absolutely without fee or
| charge. All correspondence treated as
| strictly private and sacredly confiden-
! tial Address DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buff
! falO, n. Y.
! 1t is to be kept in mind that the
| Invalds' Hotel and Surgical Institute
| Buffalo, n. Y, ranks both in its appli-
| ances and it's staff with the best of
modern medical institutions. As its
/ chief consulting physician, DIR. Pierce
has gathered around him a staff of
/ nearly a score of assistant specialists
every man a physician of standing and
acknowledged skill. There is as fan
is known, no similar institution behind
any other "put-up' medicine offered tC
the public. 1t is certain that there is
no similar offer of free medical advice
which has behind it skill and eXpe'
rience equal to that Of DIR. Pierce and
his staff, or "a record of success equa
to that achieved by DR.. Pierce in more
than thirty years of practice.

HIRED BY WEIGHT
Turkish Female Singers Must be Fat to
 Be Popular

From the Chicago Record.
 In Turkey the most beautiful and desira- ble woman is the one who weighs the most. A thin and willowy creature would have no standing In Turkey and would be a total failure on the stage in Constantinople. Un- less a woman is fat she cannot secure an engagement in a music hall, and the fatter she is the more enthusiasm she arouses and the larger Is her salary.
 On Monday evening after my arrival in Constantinople I went to the Concordia Music hall with my American acquaint- ances, and there saw more feminine breadth, depth, thickness. heft and circum- ference than I had ever before seen under one roof. Practically the whole show was given by women-women with moon faces, rolling jowls. judiciously dusted with pow der and elephantine forms that defied the confiding hold of any corset. Eat women! Women who were built straight out from the chin and then retreated toward an in- definite waist line; women whose dimpled arms were the shape of bolsters and whose bursting slippers squeaked beneath the weight put on them.
 Judging from the arrangement of the bill and the applause bestowed on the various mastdon soubrettes, I would say that in Constantinople a woman weighing 225. pounds and possessed of a fair singing. voice could get an engagement at music
 
 low salary and appear early in the bill. A woman weighing 250 could get a slightly, larger salary and better place on the bill The salary would thus increase as the weight increased. In Constantlnople they hire their soubrettes by the pound. One who can weigh in each evening at $50 or more is sure to get her name in black type and draw the star salary, no matter whether she can sing or not.
 If the bill at the Concordia were French and German women. one lone American (estimated weight, 275), and several from Turkish Europe The first woman who sang was fat, the second was fatter, the third was-no, not fattest although she much heavier than Mo- ?. She was mere- ty the promise of what was yet to come They were holding back the really big artists for the finale. At last these two came on. They we're sisters" and they made a large family by themselves. We called them the Behemoth Sisters. They were in white, and they waddled out on the stage.
 Great sscottl" exclaimed the man from Lafayette. Why didn't they roll them on the stage? How much do you suppose they weigh?'
 "A ton apiece" ventured the New York CT. E s'AToo low, too low.a

egg-shaped objects appeared on the stage Inc Turks, who had been sitting stolidiy in the boxes looking with dull uneoncern at the frail veealists who weighed less than '3oe, now strengthened up and clapped their hands. A Turk in front of us Che had cheeker-board trousers and a low white yesD shouted "Brayo!"
 The two sisters were the hit of the show. They had to sing until their globular faces were pink with exertion and their balloon like costumes rose and fell with the heaY- ings of their exertion.
 We wondered if they ever had comic opera in Turkey, and if it would be safe to put an entire chorus on one stage.

 Birmingham, May 23-The market was dull and apathetic throughout the list, with the exception of sugar and the specialties which are effected by the expected passage of the Ford bill soon. There was no real support to the market at any tme The grain carrying roads both in the west and southwest have held firm, notwithstanding the bearish crop damage reports. Sugar was active and heavily supported by the Boston contingent, but under. heavy ham, mering by the Keene party was knocked down to lowest figures in the last half hour.

SPECULATION
 WAS INACTIVE Cotton Market opened'Quiet and Steady, Prices Unchanged. REPORTS FROM SOUTH BAD Traders Were Generally Slow to Make 
Traders Were Generally Slow to Make Operations on Either Side-The Close Was Steady, One to
 Two Points Higher

New York, May 2S-speculation in cot ton futures was inactive. The market opened quiet and steady. with prices un- changed to 1 point higher, after which there was slow improvement of a point or two on covering and some buying for Wall street and English accounts.
 The demand was met principally by an active Philadelphia concern with largo foreign connections The rank and file hes itated to take the short side of the account owing to the fact that the dispatches coming from the southern half of the cot ton belt indicated that the crop was in more or less critical condition owing to protracted lack of moisture.
 Reports from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida were particularly bad, the ravages of the insects in many localities were said to be serious. The force of such reports, however, was some what broken by improved accounts from the more northern districts. The crop ac- count as whole were quite as conflicting as they usually are at this season.
 Under such conditions traders were gen. orally slow to make operations on either side of the account. There was some buy ing on southern orders, which gave prefer ence to near positions, but as class the southern continegent held aloof. The Liver- pool advices following the Whtsuntide holidays were disappointing.
 The market closed steady to points net higher.

Points ON Cooking Game.

In cooking game the general rule to
remember is that white meat should be
well done and served with white sauce;
dark meats, rare and very rare, served
with dark sauce. Woodcock has dark
rich flesh and is usually broiled from
eight to ten minutes. The head is skin
ned and fastened back against the
body, as the brain is considered great
luxury. Reedbirds are cooked whole
and rarely cleaned. They are usually
skinned, three or four put on skewer
and broiled, or they may be wrapped
in bacon or salt pork, put on skewer
and roasted in a hot oven for seven or
eight minutes. Serve on slice of fried
hominy, with sweet potatoes and a
chicory salad as accompaniment. The
chef of a hotel who is noted for his
reedbird saute says fry two pieces of
bacon in good butter in a saucepan
Take out the bacon when cooked and
cook the reedbirds in the same pan
with butter for five or six minutes, sea-
soning with salt and pepper Place the
birds ON hot dish and fry some toast
also in the same pan. When the toast
is well Drowned, place the birds on it
and pour the hot butter from the pan
over the whole. Garnish with the ba-
con and serve red hot.
