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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an In
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear.
ing. and when it Is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the information 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 an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.

The Commercial Banks Sayiogs Depart
ment for Small Deposits.

ment for Small Deposits.
In referring last week to the Com
mercial Banks fine comparative state
ment and its savings bank depart
ment, THE LEADER, among other
things, said:
A valuable addition was recently
made in the shape of savings bank
department, which will enable the de-
position, even of the small sum of 800,
to lay up something for rainy day,
and receive interest on same. This is
move in the right direction and
should be encouraged. Those who
formerly relied upon "old wooden
socks" and mother earth, should now
make up their minds not to "bury their
talents" but put them where they
can increase and multiply.
In the above the figures 800 were
intended to read one dollar, but the
decimal was inadvertently omitted.
The bank, in its savings department,
receives deposits of one dollar or more,
SO any one can deposit his small saw
ings from time to time and receive in
terest thereon.

Plain skirts are considered very
smart, but that does not by any means
signify that trimmed skirts have gone
out Of fashion. Quite the contrary, for
the dressmakers are all busy turning

Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect to live long, because
they can not eat the food required to
nourish the body and the products of
the undigested foods they do eat
poison the blood. 1t is important to
cure indigestion as soon as possible,
and the best method of doing this is
to use the preparation known as Kodol

Failing in this, she turned to the wall,
and standing upright ON the top Of
her cage, she took the box in both
hands and struck the spring against
the wall until the lid few open.
She was perfectly delighted at the
result, and for the hundredth time at
least I closed the box for her to open
1t again.
The next time Nellie received the
match safe she was In her cage, and
through its meshes she could not reach
the wall. She had nothing against
which to strike the spring to force 1t
open.
After looking around and striking the
box several times against the wires Of
the cage, she discovered a block of
wood about six inches square. She
took this and mounted her perch. Bal
ancing the block on the perch, she held
1t with the left foot, while with the
right foot she clung to the perch. With
her tail wound around the meshes Of
the cage to steady herself, she care
fully adjusted the matchbox in such a
manner as to protect her fingers from
the blow. Then she struck the spring
against the block of wood, and the Lid
few open.
She fairly screamed with delight aa
she held up the box.

stand how the money appropriated for

house was in notoriously poor condi-

good order, and there was general in
terest when Sam rose to make his state

The mother who overheard this ac-

to think Of the shadow cast by her misery
on those she loved. Yet her condition Is
real. Her nerves are strained to the
point of torture. Lack of appetite and
loss of sleep increase her weakness.
Such a condition may, in general be
traced to disease of the delicate womanly
organism, cure for which is found in
the use Of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

inflammation and liberation and cures
female weakness. 1t tranquilizes the
nerves, encourages the appetite and in

Although bull batting was cruel
pastime, it was also fulfilling of the
law, for formerly no butcher was al
lowed to offer for sale the flesh OF any
bull that had not been baited. The
goading of the animal in fury was
supposed to have some influence on the
flesh. In a similar belief the flesh OF q
hunted hare was thought to be superior
in flavor to that of one that had been
shot, and apresent a Of ga hunted hare"
was considered to be a special compile
ment. In the records of the corpora
ton of Leicester, England, the follow
ing order appears: "At common hall,
held on Thursday before st. Simon and
St. Jude, 14G7. mo butcher to kill bull
till baited.'" At Winchester it was or
dered thirtieth Henry Wild 'that from
hensforth ther shal be no bulstake set
before any mayors dore to bayte any
bull, but onlie at the bull-ringe within
the saide cytie."
