WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS.
The Principal Cause Is Durable But
Generally Overlooked.

Many things may cause deafness, and
very often II IL .fficult to trace a cause
some people inherit deafness. Acute dis
eases like scarlet fever sometimes cause
deafness. But by far the most common
cause of loss of hearing is catarrh of the
head and throat.
A prominent specialist on ear troubles
gives as his opinion that nine out of ten
cases of deafness is traced to throat
trouble; this is probably overstated, but
II is certainly true that more than half of
all cases of poor hearing were caused by
catarrh.
The catarrhal secretion In the nose and
throat finds its way into the Eustachian
tube and by clogging it up very soon af-
fects the hearing and the hardening of the
secretion makes the loss of hearing per-
manent. unless the catarrh which caused
the trouble is cured.
Those who are hard of hearing may
think this a little far fetched. but anyone
at all observant must have noticed how a
hard cold in the head will affect the hear
ing and that catarrh If long neglected
will certainly impair the sense of hear
ing and ultimately cause deafness
II the nose and throat are kept clear
and free from the unhealthy secretions of
catarrh, the hearing will at once greatly
ness and catarrh can satisfy themselves
on this point by using a fifty cent box of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, new catarrh
cure, which in the past year has won the
approval of thousands of catarrh sufferers
as well as physicians. because it is in
convenient form to use, contains no CO..
caipe or opiate and is as safe and pleas
ant for children as for their elders.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a wholesome
combination of Blood Root, Guaiacol. Eu-
calyptol, and similar antiseptics and they
cure catarrh and catarrhal deafness by
action upon the blood and mucous mem
brane of the nose and throat.
AS one physician aptly expresses 1t:
You do not have to draw upon the I'M
agination to discover whether you are
getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets. Improvement and relief are apparent
from the FIRST tablet taken"
All druggists sell and recommend them.
They cost but fifty cents for full sized
package and any catarrh sufferer who has
wasted time and money on sprays. salves.
and powders will appreciate to the full
the merit Of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.

CRANK AFTER THE PULLMANs
Claims Relationship With Late Pal

NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-A broad-shoui-

into the Victoria Hotel this afternoon and
asked in broken English that his card be

the sons of the late George NJ Pullman,
who live at the hotel. On the card was
scrawled the name Gustav Pullman
The clerk after some hesitation, granted
the strangers request. Word came back
from Sanger Pullman that the visitor was
a crank, who had pursued him and his
brother for a long time in Chicago. and
that he ought TO be kept away from the
place, with the assistance of the police il

The clerk called Clifford the hotel de-
tective, who ordered the stranger out. The
man went quietly, but returned almost i'm
mediately.

in a voice heard in every pat of the cor

The detective explained that the Messrs.

as loudly as ever. They have grabbed

CHAPTER II.

Within week Philip Strong had
moved to Milton, as the church wished
him to occupy the pulpit at once. The
parsonage was well planned house
next the church, and his wife soon
made everything look very homelike.
The frs. Sunday evening after Philip
preached in Milton, for the first time,
he chatted with his wife over the
events of the day as they sat before a
cheerful open fire in the large CRATE.
1t was late in the fall and the nights
were sharp and frosty.
"Are you tired tonight, Philip?' ask
ed his WIFE,
Yes, the day has been rather try
ing. Did you think l was nervous?
Did 1 preach well:' Philip was not
vain in the least. He simply put the
question to satisfy his own eXacting
demand on himself in preaching. And
there was not a person in the world to
whom he would have put such ques-
tion except his wife.
'No, l thought you did splendidly. l
felt proud of you. You made some
queer gestures, and once you put one
of your hands in your pocket. But your
sermons ere both strong and effect
i've. l an sure the people were inn
pressed. i: was very still at both serv-
ices"
Philip was silent moment. And his
wife went on:
81 am sure we shall like it here,
Philip What do you think?"
Il cannot tell yet. There is very
much to do"

Representative Snyder of Stark coun-
ty, has introduced bill into the House
OF Representatives prohibiting the use
OF trading stamps by merchants. We
are not sure that this is necessary.
This stamp business is rapidly adjust
ing itself. Those stamp people are not
in business for fun. They are after
money without working very hard for
it. But the scheme has been exploded.
For instance, when one has to buy $98
worth OF goods and be annoyed with a
lot of stamps to get as a gift little
red-backed chair worth about 81 cents,
it will be seen how delusiye it is. We
would advise the merchants to give the
stamp business the cold shoulder. This
materials been discussed extensively
throughout the country. and fortunes
have been made out of it. But it was
the stamp men who made the money.
We do not know as it should be desig-
mated as fraud or swindle. These
people perhaps do, in way, what they
propose to do-that is, fill their own
pockets. But they attract little new
new trade and do the community no
good. Citizen.

replied the minister's wife, looking at
him with a smile.
.Oh, well, that may be, Sarah. But
let me read you the other letter." he
went on without discussing the salary
matter:
CHAPEL HILL CHURCH, ELMDALE.
Rev. Philip Strong:
Dear Brother-At a meeting of the Elmdale
Chapel Hill church, held last week Thursday, it
was unanimously voted to extend you a call to
become pastor of the church at salary of $1,000
year, with two months vacation, to be selected
at your own convenience. The Chapel Hill church
is in a prosperous condition, and many of the
members recall your career in the college with
much pleasure. This is an especially strong cen
ter for church work, the proximity of the boys
academy and the university making the situation
one of great power to a who thoroughly un-
derstands and enjoys young men, as we know you
do. We most earnestly hope you Will consider
this call not as purely formal, but from the
hearts of the people. We are, very cordially
yours in behalf of the church,
PROFESSOR WELLMAN,
Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
what do you think of that?" asked
the minister again.
1.-The salary is just the same, isn't
it?"
Now, Sarah," said the minister, eff
1 didn't know what a generous, unself-
ish heart you really have, l should get
very veXed at you for talking about
the salary as if that was the most I'M
portant thing"
'The salary is very important, though.
But you know, Philip, l would be as
willing as you are to live on no salary
II the grocer and butcher would con-
tinue to feed us for nothing. l wish
from the bottom of my heart that we
could live without money
''It is bother. isn't it?'' replied Phil
ip, so gravely that his wife laughed
heartily at his tone.
'Well, the question is, what to do
, with the letters,' resumed the minister.
(which of the two churches do you
prefer" asked his wife.
81 would rather go to the Chapel Hill
church as far as my preference is con-
! cerned."
''Then why not accept their call, if
that is the way you feelF'
! Because, while | should like to go
to Elmdale, feel as if l ought to go to
Milton"

CHAPTER I.

Philip Strong could not decide what
vas best to do
The postman that evening had
Drought him two letters, and he had
Just finished reading them. He sat
with his hands clasped over his knee.
Ieaning back in his chair and looking
out through his study window He
was evidently thinking very hard, and
the two letters We're the cause of it.
Finally he rose, went to his study
door and called down the stairs:
Sarah, l wish you world come up
bare. 1 want your help"
''All right, Philip, I'll be up in min
ute," responded voice from below,
and very soon the minister's wife came
up stairs into her husbands study.
'sWhat's the matter?" she said as
she came into the room. 1T must be
something very serious, for you don't
call me up here unless you are in great
distress. You remember the last time
you called me, you had shut the tassei
of your dressing gown under the lid
of your writing desk, and I had to cut
you loose. You aren't fast anywhere
now, are youY"
Philip smiled quantity. Yes, l am.
I'm in a strait betwixt two. Let me
read these letters, and you will see"
So he began at once, and we viii
copy the letters, omitting dates:
CALVARY CHURCH, MILTON.
i, Rev. Philip Strong:
Dear Sir-At a meeting of the Milton Calvary
church. held last week, it was voted unanimously
to extend you call to become pastor of this
church at salary of 1000 a year. We trust that
you will find it in accordance with the will of
the Head of the church to accept this decision on
the part of Calvary church and become its pastor
The church is in good condition and has the
hearty support of most of the leading families in
the town. 1t is the strongest in membership and
financially of the seven principal churches here
We await your reply, confidently hoping you will
decide to come to US. We have been without a
settled pastor now for nearly a year, since the
death of DR.. Brown, and have united upon
you the person most eminently fitted to fill the
I pulpit OF Calvary church. The grace of our Lord
be with you. In behalf of the church,
