Deafness Cannot Be- Cured

by local applications as they cannot eac the
diseased portion ofthe ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachlan Tube. Whent this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing. and when 1t is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless tie infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine eases out OF ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.

PhlIomaths Enjoy Pleasant Visit With
Kinsley Club.
Last week the clubs of Kinsley sent
word to the Philomaths Of this city to
come down and "bring' their husbands
and help celebrate the birthday OF
Shakespeare. Every member of the club
wanted to 60 because an Invitation to
Kinsley always means an opportunity
for spending a few hours in the society
of some very charming women, but
sickness prevented, and only nine couples
could take advantage Of the inyitalion.
The ladies Of Kinsley bad arranged to
celebrate fttingly and the evenings ell.
tertalnment was very enjoyable. ''The
effect Of Shakespeare study on the world
famous characters Of Dodge" was the
fifth number on the program and Mrs.
Bowen In her talk called attention to
some Of tho more visible effects. For
instance, the naming Of DR.. Simpsons
new race horse, "Phllomath''; Mr..
Churchill's turkeys calling upon the
name Of "Calpumia;" Mr.. Fitzgerald
demonstrating, In the evening at milking
time, 80, Juliet" DR.. Whitworth's ad-
vice to bis patients "throw physiC to the
Dogs" and Mr.. Scates beginning an ar
gument in court "Most potent, grave and
reverend signlors" After Mrs. Bowen's
talk 1t was the general opinion that the
time of mixod clubs Is not far distant,
when the club women can hope to enjoy
the society Of their husbands at club

musician Is a strange one and one which
none of the scientists have as yet been

blast which would sound above the roar

He cant tell in advance when the blaStis

there Is every indication for favorable

fall started last week with one.quarter Of
