for the younger employees is promised
in Chicago. One big store started such
a school in its building some time ago
and the results were so gratifying that
the superindent of the compulsory

upon other store proprietors the i'm

Favorable replies we're received from

store, and to send the children to the
school room in squads. They are
taught writing, reading and other

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an

ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
tiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed con.
ditlon of the mucous surfaces.
