inability to hear and heed signals that were intended for them. What happened to them Is of frequent occurrence and in three cases out of four might have been prevented by the use of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. These tablets cure all kinds of catarrh. They can be bought at any drug store for 50 cents a box.
 That Stuarts Catarrh Tablets do effect ually cure catarrh of the eustachian tubes and the head noises and deafness result ing therefrom Is attested by the following
 Mrs. Jane Barlow. the famous modiste, says:-"I finally had to give up personal attention to my customers, and in conse- quence many of them went elsewhere. I was in despair for specialists seemed pow erless to help me. Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets cured me in just little while so com pletely that I now hear as we'll as ever
 Army Surgeon c. S. Beverly became so deaf from catarrh that he was forced to resign his position and abandon his pro- fession. He says:-"Of course my inher- ent professional prejudice was hard to overcome, but knowing of the great bene- fit you had received, my dear General. through the use of Stuarts Catarrh Tab lets, I used them. The great and almost immediate relief I experienced was truly astonishing. I am now entirely cured and have no fear of the disease returning. I go back to my old post next month."
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets lave done 1t, do do 1t, will do it. Try them and be con- vinced. They are for sale at any drug store at 50 cents box. It will put you to very little trouble or expense to prove what they will do for you Send to F. A. Stuart Co.,, Marshall. Mich. for their free book about cata<rh.

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 oistracting head noises. These make such an inn pression on some as to almost drive them insane. The everlasting buzzing. ringing, snapping, 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 catarrh 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 a treatment is required that will allay in- fiammation in the custodian tubes, re- duce the conjestion and swelling and stop the secretion of. mucous so that the tubes will be and keep open for the free massage of air into the middle ear. No locally applied medicine will effectually do this, only searching constitutional alterative and resolvent will cure catarrh in the deep recesses of the head.
 Two acouaintances 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 de ear, and were quite hard of hearing. In both cases the coroner's jury decided that they came to their feath because of

A Decoration With a Moral.

From the Youths Companion.
 A story illustrative of an unfortunate error of Judgment is told at the expense of the late Baron Nordensktold. When he was on his way home from the S1ber- ian coast he received a telegram from the Russian government asking him if he would accept a decoration from the czar in recognition of his services to the country
 Now the baron was a member of the anti-decoration society, which pledged it's supporters to receive no decoration from anybody, and he wrestled long and faithfully with himself before finally he yielded to the temptation and telegraph ed back that he wold gladly accept the honor.
 How great, then, was his chagrin when on reaching home, a friend told him that the czar was fully aware of his antipathy to honors of the nature of decorations and had put aside the sum of 3OO,0O0 rubles, to be given to him in case of his refusal of the offer.
 Russia" added the friend blandly. lis certainly grateful to you for your failure to live up to your pledge"
 A man does not lose 3000O0 rubles ev- cry time he breaks a pledge, but the moral Is a good one for all that.
