Deafness Canrot BE Cured

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 10y constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inlamed con-
dtion OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. Wien this tube is
innamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and the tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness Caused by catarrhl

The Willard union OF Southwest Har-
Dor met with Mrs. Della Gilley Friday
afternoon, Nov. is. The talk OF the meet
Ing was the advisability OF iustituting n
school wings bank in the schools of our
town.
Plans were made 'or agitating the mat
ter aud acqusinting ourselves with Its
methods; arrangements were also made
Tor public meeting to be held In about
two weeks.
A hountiful picnic supper was served.
All regretted that the notice OF the invi-
tation from Mrs. Gilley was not better
circulated SO more could have enjoyed her
hospitality. We are glad she has re-
gained her health so as to be able to take
part with US in our work. Mr.. and Mrs.
Giliey expect to go to Northeast Harbor
to spend the winter with their sos, SO she
will not be able to attend our White rib
bon" teas, which we hope TO have occa-
sionally.

that the turkey sent by Mr.. vose to

President Roosevelt the farms of

outdoor method of turkey raising is
being extensively practiced. Turkeys
have always been regarded as difficult
to rear. The new method is to initiate
natural conditions as far as practical
bic and thus TO save the focks from
the epidemics and other ills of civiliza-
ton to which they have long been
heirs. The birds are provided with
neither shelter nor roosts even in win
ter. They are fed literally and in the
spring are furnished with half barrels
for nests, but there is as little interfer-
ence as possible with their ways of liv-
ing. Whole corn, sweet apples and
grasshoppers are considered the best
turkey food. Cornmeal which is more
commonly used, fattens the bird more
rapidly, but renders the flesh of poorer
quality. Breeding by selection, pick
ing out the largest individuals from
generation to generation, is largely re-
sponsible for the greater size which the
domestic turkey obtains over the wild

the aristocratic partridge and pheasant

to the ponderous gobbler.
The eagle is a pirate; he cannot sing
and his beauty is greatest at distance.
All he can do is to soar aloft, and,
while his single stunt may be EN-.
blematic of freedom, 1t is of a freedom
which respects not the rights of others.
Consider the turkey, how he grows.
He tolls not, neither does he spin, yet
Solomon In all his glory never ate
more delicious food than he furnishes.
His plumage ranks him little lower
than the peacock, while his "gobble"
makes music compared to the hoarse
scream of the far flying eagle. All he
lives for is to enhance the JOY of his
human friends. Then, too, he is dis
tinctly an American. The bald eagle
is, it is true, also an aborigine, but
there are other eagles. The car, the
kaiser and the emperor of Austria bear
eagles on their shields. The turkey
was never even heard of in Europe be-
fore the voyage of Columbus. For
nearly four authenticated centuries the
turkey has roasted on his genealogical
tree in the forests Of America, and be-
fore the white man came the red In
dams who sprang from the soil ven
Grated him.
The first turkey appeared in written
history about the year 1920, when the
Spanish conquerors of Mexico found
him at the court of Montezuma. Speci-
mems of the new fowl were sent home
to Spain by the companions of Cortes,
and within five years thereafter the
turkey appeared in England, where he
soon became general favorite. Civil
and natural history had not then been
reduced to an exact science, and In the
common confusion of America with the
Indies the turkey became involved.
The name Turkey was then often used
as synonym for the orient; hence the
erroneous appellation which the bird
has never been able to shake Off. The
French made the same mistake, for
they call the turkey to this day dinde
or cog d'Inde Qndian cock. However,
the turkey by another name would
taste no sweeter, and popular disappro-
baton of the sultan has never extend
ed to the fowl which bears his coun-
try's name.
1t is moot question among orni-
biologists whether the present day tur-
key is descendant of the Mexican
bird domestieated in England and
brought back to America by the pill
grim fathers or is the wild turkey OF
he United States tanned. Whatever the
tame turkeys remotest origin, the
breeders frequently introduce into their
locks wild turkeys captured in the
woods or raised from eggs to give
stamina and the gamy taste SO priced
by epicures, and the barnyard bird
may now trace his lineage to Montezu-
mas imperial coop or to the wilds of
The north, as he chooses.

We cannot. of course. all be handsome,
And it's hard for us all to be good;
We are sure now and then to he lonely,
And we don't always do as we should.
To be patient is not always easy,
To be cheerful is much harder STILL
But at least we can always be pleasant.
III we make up our minds that we will.
And 1t pays every time TO be kindly,
Although you feel worried and blue;
If you smile at the world and look cheerful,
The world will smile back at you.
Sc try to brace up and look pleasant.
No matter how low you are down;
Good humor is always contagious,
But you Danish your friends when you frown

The First Thanksgiving.

The earliest recorded appointment of
a Thanksgiving day was in 1923. There
had been an unfavorable season for
the young American colony. and star
tation seemed imminent. To avert the
terrible calamity a day of humiliation
and prayer was appointed, and in the
midst Of the solemn observance the
rain descended copiously. The crops
afterward yielded an abundant har-
vest. To thank God with all their
hearts for the good world and the good
things In it." the first American
Thanksgiving was officially proclaimed
and duly celebrated In the fort church,
md Elder Brewster preached sermon.

petition for the establishment OF a
! rural tree delivery route from Ellsworth
to Surfy, thence down the Neck to Rich's

to Ellsworth was recently sent to the de-
partment at Washington.
The petition was given to special agent
of the department with instructions to
Investigate and report. de did SO, and

establishment OF the route.
The petition was signed by over 100
beads OF families, mostly the men; some
OF them women The route covers
twenty-five miles, about eight OF which
are in parts of the town not now trav-
g sed by stage route.
Since this petition for the route was

put into circulation, and l am told that
this remonstrance is being very genera ly

have tried to discover The grounds of
objection, and find it based mainly on
the statement thst If the route is estab-
iished one or both of the present stage
lines running to Bluehill through Surry
will be discontinued; also that the route
people who live below Rich's corner will
be obliged to come there for their mail.
Upon investigation / find that none OF
these reasons exist In fact. There is no
intention to discontinue any existing
route, no intention OF abolishing the
Surry postoffice, nor even the East Surry
postoffice, II the patrons of that office de
sire its continuance.
The idea Of abolishing the stage route
to Biuehill is absurd on Its face; there is
no other way to get the mall to Bluehill
except through Surry. find also that the
establishment OF this route would in no
way affect the present twice-a- day service
to Bluehill, OF which Surry now gets the
benefit; 1t not only would not take away
any of the mail facilities now enjoyed,
but 1t would add to them, and in addition
1t would give free delivery to eight miles
OF country not now served even by a star
| route.
This entire proposed route has some
thing to gain and nothing to lose by the
establishment Of this service, with the
possible exception of the postmasters at
Surry and East Surry, whose compensa-
tion Is likely to be decreased. This is, of
course, to be regretted for their sakes, but
are these two to be permitted to stand in
