CAUSE OF DEAFNESS.
The Most Common Cause Only Re
 gently Discovered.

It has been stated on good medical authority that njnc-tcnths of cases of deafness are cauged from catarrh or from sore throat
 The little tube which leads to the ear from tho throat is lined with a sort of vevety structure cGllel mucous memb ane. This membrane is smpiy a continuation of the nllcous membrane lining the throat. When disease of any sort attacks the mucous mem brane of the throat it is very liable to extend into the Eustachian tube and up into the ear
 The history of nearly all cases of deafness is like this: a cold is contracted and neglect ed nthcr colds are taken. the throat becomes sofo and infamel which is aggravated by nlyt!t los of ,iusI snt germs from the air. This condition causes the disease to spread into tla tuuc that lads to the ear
 I. seems a little far fetched to say that most eases of deafness are caused from catarrh, but it IS cerIaInlv true and anyone who has had scvc.c catarrhal cold must have mo- ticed low the hearing was affected while the cold tasted
 With ,8tarrh sufferers this impairment of hearing becomes chronic and grows worse the longer the catarrh is neglected
 You can cure G2tarrh and deafness by the regular use of an excellent new prepara ton Calird Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, composed nf antWeptic remedies which act both on the eOIec tualy on the blood eliminating the ca tarThal poison from the system
 People whose hearing is defective may think r little remarkable that a simple and traces of deafness, but when 1t is remembered that CatarTh causes the deafness and that the catarrh is easily cured by the regular of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets there is mystery about it.
 IT you are subject to nasal catarrh or ca tarrh of throat. bronchial tubes or Catarrh of stomach and liver. the safest and most effec- tive treatment is the new catarrh speclhc. Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, sold hy all druggists al 50 cents for full sized package.

AID FOR THE ORPHANS A SUGGESTION AS TO THANKS
 GIVING OFFERINGS.
Churches Throughout the State Ask ed to Make Contributions to the Repair Fund of the Summer
 field Home.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Nov. g.
 A suggestion has been made that all Methodist churches in Alabama devote their thank offerings on Thanksgiving Day to the Repair Fund of Summer field Orphanage and in places where It is not practical to Told services on that day, the members sending individual gifts.
 "The repairs in the home have conn menced, but unless more money comes in the next few weeks the work will be compelled to stop" said a good woman today who has the condition of the Sum- merfleld Orphanage very much at heart. If all will help a little we can go on with the Improvements. We all have so many blessings to be thankful for, and if we would only give as He has pros- pered us,' We would have plenty for ev- cry needed purpose.
 "It would be a fitting way to do some thing for humanity on Thanksgiving Day to contribute a small mite to the repair fund of the home. It ought not to be confined to the Methodist Church alone, but every one who feels able should con- tribute smal sum, whether he belongs to that denomination or not. The Or phanage takes in little ones bereft of their natural protectors and never stops to ask whether they are Protestants or Catholics and in contributing to the re- pair fund all creeds ought to do their share along with the Methodists.
 This home is doing a noble work. From October, 1900. to October. 1901, forty-two children were received into the home and thirty-five have gone out from 1t. Of this thirty-five, sixteen have been withdrawn by their parents and relatives, and eight cen have been placed in Christian homes to be brought up as members of the family. One has died.
 With a record like this, Is 1t not the duty of all to contribute mite to the re- pair fund, that the building that shelters these little ones from the storms of win ter and the heat of summer may be made more healthful? Gods blessings will rest on all those who contribute to so noble a cause"
