took with her their child. He added that
he has not been divorced from his first
wife, and had not considered a legal sepa-
ration necessary as his wife again mar
ried after leaving him. Thompson said
that he believed from advice given him
by a Leesburg, Va, lawyer that he, too
was free to again marry, If he SO de-
sired. Thompson explained that his legal
adviser had not informed him that he was
free to marry but had simply told him
that he was free" This, he Informed

the diseased portion of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is

caused by an inflamed condition OF the mu-

this tube gets infamed you have a rum

out and this tube restored to its normal

BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE.
AMER Much Effort, when Life was
Apparently Extinct, lie was
Hesuscitaied.

A distressing accident which nearly
proved fatal happened at the residence
Of Royal b. Young OF Forest Dale yes
tcrday. His little boy. Farley two years
Of age, while playing In the yard. fell
head foremost into tub OF water. How
long he remained Is unknown, but Reta,
his little sister, in passing the tub saw
his legs sticking out Of the water. The
girl pulled him out and the body fell
over limp and apparently lifeless He
was black in the face, terribly swollen
and TO all appearances dead. Mrs.
Young, being attracted by the screams
OF her daughter, rushed to the assist
ance of the child. Holding him head
downward or rolling the body did not
bring the water from him and as a last
resort pressing on the abdomen was
resorted to. The water rushed from the
childs mouth and after several opera
tlons the boy began 10 gasp for breath
and In short time he began to
breathe irregularly. His condition until
this morning was serious, but today he
Is greatly improved This case should
be a warning TO parents against hav-
ing tubs filed with water around the
premises.
