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 inflamed condition Of the mu-
cuos lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when 1t is
entirely closed deafness IS the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal cOndi-
tiOn, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused By catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

A Certainty.

Milan Herald.
As we were born into the world,
so must we die and pass out Of it.
The world may stay but we must
pass beyond. Men will continue to
tread this globe with conquering
steps, but cur place in its ranks
Others will fill. Increasing millions
of the redeemed will continue to
praise God, who gently leads them
on from conquest to conquest, while
you and | will listen to the wondrous
music of the redeemed on the eter.
nal shores, or to the jargon of souls
in despair, and not from these tenn
poral valleys.
Speculation may now take the
place Of certainty, folly may be
as welcome as peace, but when our
souls feels the breath of the Unseen,
and our hearts falter with awe, then
will they cry out, 40, that l had
learned the secret of peace, that
may go hence with JOY"
But as moral law is universal, we
cannot escape by passing out Of
this world. White we exist we will
have to keep company with ourselves
and so long as our existence contin.
ues it will be necessary for US to
keep company with the plan Of our
own nature. There is no court in
the universe that can divorce a man
from himself, his conscience and
his record.
As we advance into the unforeseen
Of this another year, shall we no
seek to bring our conscience into
harmony with Him who is the au
thor of peace and Contentment?

The Largest Number Ever

Candidate.
WISCONSIN RIGHT SIDE UP WITH
$4,000 AND A SOLID CON-
GRESSIONAL DELEGATION.

The fight is over, the victory won
and honor saved. The vote is
an avalanche that sweeps away
Bryanis y with all that it implies.
As this election was one of the most
important the result is momentous
and the consequences far reaching.
The financial question is settled for
a generation. The flag will remain
aloft and float where it is planted.
Expansion is the policy Of the pres
ent and the future as of the past.
The election of the national Re-
publican ticket by such an over
whelming majority in view of such
an aspect of apparent widely pervad-
ing apathy in the party and in the
face of such persistent efforts by the
opposition to win at any price with
the reiterated assurance of conf
dence among Democrats is sur
prise to both sides. The Republic
ans have carried states they had
considered as almost hopelessly
welded to Organism and elected
many Congressman in districts they
had conceded to the Democrats.
The result of this election gives
satisfactory evidence that the great
majority Of voters think for them
selves and that their second, sober
thought" is right. The menace of
national disgrace abroad and wide
spread financial disaster and conse-
quent misery at home that was al
most sure to follow the election of
Bryan was a constraining motive to
the thoughtful and conservative
men of the nation to arouse them

Borax.

Borax is simple but effective rem
edy for many things. A solution of
borax and water will cure canker sore
mouth in adults as well as in children.
Wash the mouth with it, and gargle a
little in the throat. Unlike many
remedies prescribed for such things,
it is entirely harmless. A wash made
of one-half dram of borax and three
ounces Of camphor water is the best
remedy ever tried for sore and in
famed eyes. Put three drops in each
eye, opening and closing them rapid
ly so that it will extend oyer the en-
tire surface.
