Deafness Cannot beOured

by localapplicatlons,a they cannOtreach
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 inilamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed YOU have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire

and this tube restored to Its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;

They Had Heard of City Frauds and

1t was a brand-new and enterprising
advertising dodge that caused these
two young women to think they had
been ''hunkoed" and likely to get into
diF.cuttias. The dodge" consisted in
15-miuute vaudeville performance
which one of the big retail houses put
on in a room in its building to amuse
customers and TO make people talk
about the store.
The two young women were from
one Of the suburbs of the city, and on
the lookout for traps and sharpers.
Having finished their shopping hey
were In the elevator on their way out
when the elevator mar called:
"All out here to see the ia nous
shown
With the other passengers the two
young women left the car, and found
themselves in a little theater says the
New York Times. 1t was dimly light
ed. had small stage. a smaller orches-
ira and chairs In which a number of
people had seated themselves. Sud
denly an idea occurred to one of the
young women.
Helen. she whispered to ner com
panion, this is some trap that we have
fallen into. / know mamma told me of
= similar case once. When she and
papa were Spending their honeymoon
ewenty-three years ago at Niagara
Falls they went into a show that was
all just as this is. On the outside
there was sign which said: Entrance
Free All went well until it came to
going out. when there was another
sign, Exit 81 That is what this thing
is. and know it. Let's get out before
the show begins"
They made at once for the door of
the elevator shaft. "The show will be-
gin in an instant" politely announced
the attendant. at whom the young wo-
i..an looked scornfully.
"You must think we are easy" said
one of the girls. falling into slang to
show that she was no ordinary PROPOSE
ticn to be dealt with. I'VE know this
lodge, and have seen it before"
Then both went down to the street
feeling sure that they had escaped one
of the shrewd lodges" of great city.

Presently the owner said to his next
neighbor: kindly pass me the snuff
box" The inquiry wer. around the
table, but nobody knew what had be-
come Of the article, A thorough search
of the room and the servants failed to
reveal any trace Of it, and the party
broke up IN a gloom. Some months
