Deafness Cannot Be Cured


by local applications as they cannot
reach the deceased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachlan Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sonnd or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result. and unless the in
Illumination can he taken ont and this
tube restored to it's normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrb, which is nothing but nm in
famed condition Of the mucous sur

wonld stop here and he could get off.
The train did not stop in Elko, but

old home at Down, where he lived
from 1912 to the time of his death, is
to be given up and the contents dis

their memory regarding the kind Of
country house that it was. both inside
and out, should refer to the admirable

prophecy was strictly fulfilled. Down

degrees, and compressed in matrices

is laid In the form of blocks, eighteen
inches square. says the London News
each block containing sixteen parts in
the form of checkers. These blocks are
so closely fitted together that water
cannot pass between them, and the
whole pavement looks like one gigntic
draught board. AS pavement it is
said to have greater resistance than
stone; it is poor conductor of cold
and ice will not form on it readily, dirt
does not accumulate upon it as easily
as upon stone and 1t will not retain
microbes. 1t is more durable than
stone and just as cheap.

Guam Welcomes Gov. Learv

Captain Leary's little province of
Guam Is more interested in the band
which is portion of the Governors
outfit than with the change of Sover-
eighty of the island.
The Governors house at Guam is
large, with spacious grounds around it
and barracks for the military close by.
In this house lived the former Spanish
Governor, who. when an American
man-of-war came into port and fired q
few warning shots, went on board to
apologize for not returning the salute"
because he was out of powder, and
then he found himself a prisoner be-
fore he knew there was any war.
There is an abundance of shooting
and fishing about Guam. Deer and
wild fowl can be shot with ease near
the town. Most of the fishing is done
by the natives at night. They 60 out
in their boats with great torches. The
light of the torches lures the fish to the
net or spears of the fishermen. The ma
tives have a curious sort of water
clock. 1t consists of bucket of water
and a cocoanut shell. The shell is hol-
low and is pierced by small hole
through which the water gradually
makes its way, filling the shell. The
aperture through which the water
passes is made of such a size that it
takes just one hour for the shell to fill
and sink to the bottom of the bucket.
The roads about Guam are said to be
excellent. and the rice fields through
which they run are remarkably fertile.
Rice and copra are the two chief pro-
ducts Of Guam. Rice. indeed. forms the
chief articles of food in the island, and
all about the town the paddy fields"
lie shining with n vivid green. The cul-
tivation of rice can be extended over
much more OF the island than it is now,
and, by proper planting, two crops Il
year can be raised.

Strawberries for Gout.

Linnaeus was persuaded to take
Strawberries during a severe attack Of
sciatica, with the result that sweet
sleep ensued, and when he awoke the
pain had sensibly subsidized. On the
next day he ate as many strawberries
as possible, and on the following
morning the pain was gone and he was
able to leave his bed. equity pains re-
turned at the same date In the next
year, but they were dispersed as soon
as Linnaeus was able to get strawber-
ries. Although strawberries are for
hidden to the equity by some authori-
ties, by others they are permitted, the
fruit being regarded as a useful food
for equity persons on account of its
richness in the salts, of potash, soda
and lime, and its cooling, diuretic and
laxative qualities. The analysis of the
strawberry shows it to be particularly
rich in soda salts, and in spite of the
high percentage of water, this fruit
excels all other common fruit in the
amount of mineral salts. The chemis-
try of the strawberry, therefore, would
teach that this fruit is likely to be
beneficial in equity states.-The Lam
Get.

The Philadelphia Record tells of a
little woman and big man who visit
ed dentist not long ago. II just came
along to help her keep her courage up"
explained the big man fondly. She sat
through long operation, the filling of
several teeth, with scarcely a culver.
When it was done she suggested that
her husband ought to have his teeth
examined. He said he knew there was
nothing the matter with his but finally
she had her own way. The dentist
found one small cavity and said he
might as well fix II at once. and the
little woman agreed with him. When
the boring machine was moved out
from its corner the big man seemed to
shrink; when ii began to buzz he
shivered perceptibly. and even before
the tool touched his tooth he gave a
shout; after which it took all of the
little woman's powers of persuasion to
keep him in the chair until the job was
completed. "And that's no exceptional
case" said the dentist when the couple
had gone.
