It's a mighty curious thing, but lot
Of men who have no claim on you and

Now that you are a boss you will
find that every other man who comes

Of being asked for things. But it's
Just as one OF those poets said-you

OF course ! don't mean by this that

who swell out like ready made shirt
and brag that they never borrow and
never lend" They always think that
this shows that they are sound con-
eervative business men, but as a mat
ter of fact it simply stamps them as
mighty mean little cusses. It's very
superior, know, to say that you new

one time or another, and then they
find that the never-borrownever-lend
platform is a mighty inconvenient one
to be standing on. Be just in business

While l don't believe in giving with
a string tied to every dollar or doing

feel that money can be had for the

Deafness Cannot 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 Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever.
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
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
