DEAFN E.SS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only enc way To cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflatned you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inilamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of deafness caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send Tor circulars fire.

How Agriculture Is a-looking up!
Farmers are organizing, asserting
themselves In legislatures and in con-
gress, putting up candidates for state
and national offices and establishing
colleges and experiment stations for
the proper dissemination of the prin-
ciples of their great industry. Now a
professor In the university of Chicago
resigns from the department Of zoolo-
gy to study "the phenomenon of va
ration" in chicken raising Farm
ing seems to be the fad OF the hour,
but even If some enthusiasts drop it
by and by as they have other fsds,
for a new one, the business Is bound to
receive substantial and lasting benefit.
Farmers are no longer horny handed"
sons of the soil-not If they know
themselves-they wear gloves!

The wave of sermonizing that has
struck the state newspapers threat
ems at times to take some Of them
off their feet One paper declares that
mans popularity in a community de-
ponds wholly on himself and that "ev-
eryone should try to accomplish that
which is pleasing and right, then all
could be popular" Trying to do what
is pleasing and right does not always
make a man popular. 1t sometimes
simply gives him the name of being a
good, clever fellow" which in many
masculine minds Is equivalent to IA
fool" But even if it did, fancy a town
where everybody is popular, where life
is a succession of smiles, handshakes
and congratulations, and there is no.
body at all to jump on! Why, Brother
Sermonizer, it would be the madness
of monotony!

GOOD ADVICE TO
NERVOUS WOMEN
".Ju,t let me tell you what Rexall

"Just let me tell you what Rexaii
Mucu-Tone did for me-" says
Mrs. Hess, Of Jersey City, N. J.
For five years ! had been
growing more and more feeble
/ was weak, run down and nerv-
Gus. Suffered with pain in my
back and side constantly and was
unable to obtain any relief what
ever. II seemed as If my cup OF
trouble was already full when
was overtaken by catarrhal bron-
chitis and for five weeks was con-
fined to my bed.
Nothing seemed to help me
and | was in deepest despair when
q neighbor advised me to try Mucu-
Tone. From the first dose ! ex-
perienced relief. I succeeded in
breaking up the attack completely
within twenty-four hours, and at
the end of week l felt like new
woman. Today am in perfect
health; something ! have not
known for years. ! therefore feel
safe in advising all women who
are nervous and broken down to
buy a bottle of Rexall Mucu-Tone
and to take It as directed"
DO you KNOW WHAT YOUR con-
DITION MEANsf
Has anyone ever told you what
It means to feel restless:-aightyf
-unsettleds-unable to concen-
trate yourself on your work!-un-
able to find pleasure or satisfaction
in anything!
Or have you ever given careful
thought to it yourself!
Well, sooner or later you will
be broken down, weak, dizzy
thoroughly tired of living.
The meaning is that some part
Of your system has been attacked
BY catarrh.
One after another the organs
become deranged; the liver and
kidneys are no longer able to
purify the blood and the heart be-
comes affected. Then the stomach
loses its power to properly digest
food. Sleeplessness, nervousness,
melancholy and despair follow.
You grow weak, emaciated, hag-
gard. You have pains in the back,
under the shoulder-b blades and
bearing down pains in the lower
abdomen.
And probably through it all
you have been told that you are
merely run down and need tonic.

A state paper says: I'VE believe the
young successful business men should
be well represented in the make up of
the town and village officers. ordin-
arily they have the push. ability, and
judgment to accomplish something"
Just enough Of this element of young
and vigorous energy should be intro
duced to keep the wheels Of town pro-
gress hopefully out of the ruts; but
not enough to run them hopelessly In

BRArrLEBoRo, FRIDAY, PEE, 90, 1904.
Attend Town Meeting.

II has often been noted that those
who show the least interest in town
affairs when a time for action comes
are the very ones that grumble most
afterwards about the way the busi-
ness was done.
There has been general complaint
throughout the state OF late years,
that men do not attend town meetings.
They either think the meeting Is OF no
great Importance to them or else that
they are OF no great Importance to 1t.
and they are content to leave the
towns decisions and business In the
hands of few. who may be energet-
ic, public spirited citizens, but who
may be simply self-seekers.
This is a great mistake. The town
meeting may be but an atom In this
great system of government but 1t Is
a fundamental atom. II is the place
where the citizen exerts his most d.
rect and personal influence for good
or III on the character of his nations
government. Wise and honest ad-
mlnistration of town affairs, tends to
make good citizens, whose representa-
tives in the state Legislature will car
ry into state government good IN
fiuence which, in turn will pass on
into national affairs.
The place to begin the reformation
of the dishonest and corrupt elements
that so largely dominate politics and
are undermining the honor and pros
perity of the country is in the little
town meeting where every man may
give his personal influence for hon
est men, honest ways, the good OF the
many and the stamping out Of all the
elemental forms of political decker or
personal gain.
Attend your town meeting. Go there
with sense of its larger meaning
and influence. it, not matter or
week or a year. If the work OF the
town is Ill DONE neither is it mat
ter of discomfort and Inconvenience to
one little town only.
And IL the business of the town is
done honestly and as well as possible
this year, next year and every year
II right decisions are made and the
right men elected to carry them out
good results are bound to follow, not
only In the one town, but in the whole
country.
Every man should do his part to
bring this condition Of things about.
He can not escape his share of the
responsibility for good citizenship.

In spite of the excellent admonitions
Of the Burlington Clipper to the con-

has fixed the basis of representation
this year on the governor vote Of 1900,
the same on which the delegates to
state and county conventions were
chosen in 1902, instead of reckoning
on the reduced vote of 1902. The
Clipper declared that the republican
party could not thus disregard its
rules and fair dealing without losing
the confidence honest people have In
