TIME ID EXAMINE
 TEACHERS IS NEAR
Questions Have Been Prepared
 and Will Soon be Sent Out
GOOD REASON FOR DELAY
Heretofore Persons Not Authorized Have Gol.e Hold of the Examina- ton Papers and Prepared
 Themselves in Advance.

Montgomery, December H-(SpeciaD- The regular examination of applicants for teachers in the public school of the state will be held in each county Janua- " End. The questions for the examina- tions have been sent to the county super intendents.
 Usually the questions have been sent out in the early part of the month pre- ceding the examination. This year, how ever, the questions have been held back. The department has been in no hurry to send out the questions. Heretofore, the questions have in some unexplicable way leaked out. In more than one county aspirants have came into possession of the questions before the examinations.
 It is understood that for this reason the department of education has delayed sending them out. In some of the county superintendents offices, information about the questions would leak out in spite of every precaution. It was not a good plan to leave the questions lying about in the Superintendents office. The questions, however, will go out from the capitol Saturday night and will be in the hands of the County Superintendents before the examination.

Impairment of hearing robs one of many of the joys of life exposes to dan ger, interferes with capacity of useful ness limits ability to transact business and earn a living. Many annually aban- don their plans, ambitions and hopes on account of loss of hearing.
 In nearly every case of partial or com plete deafness there is another feature that to many is more troublesome than the difficulty of hearing-the distracting head noises. These make such an im- pression on some as to almost drive them insane The everlasting buzzing, ringing, snappng, rumble or roar, distracts them by day and prevents rest at night.
 Nine cases out of ten of head noises and progressive hardness of hearing are due to eatarrh of the middle ear or of the tube leading from 1t to the throat.
 It should be understood and constantly borne in mind that to restore the hear ing and silence the distracting noises treatment is required that will aIlay in- fiammatlon in the eustachian tubes, re- duce the conj,stion and swelling and stop the secretion of mucus so that the tubes will be and keep open for the free passage of air into the middle ear. No locally applied medicine will effectually do this, only searching constitutional alternative and resolvent will cure catarrh in the deep recesses of the head.
 Two acquaintances of the writer were run down and killed by the cars in one year. Both had catarrh of the head which had extended up the eustachian tubes, leading from the throat to the mid dle ear and were quite hard of hearing. In both cases the coroner's jury decided that they came to their death because of
