county streams have been stocked
with fish from the fish warden's ponds
at Pratt, Kas. County Game and Fish
Warden A. r. Ainsworth has received
from Del Travis. the state fish warden,
seven large cans of small fish, includ-
ing the crappie and the black bass V a
~rieties. Each can contained 800 fish
a little more than a finger length in
size, and Mr.. Ainsworth promptly took
the fish to the country streams and
turned them loose.
It was interesting to watch the fish
when they were poured from the cans
into the water. At first they swan
around slowly in a very narrow circle,
evidently not realizing that they were
not confined to the limits of a small
can as they had been for several days.
Then of a sudden they darted away
and were soon lost to sight down the
stream.

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 by constitutional remedies. Deafness
IS caused by an nflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
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 destroy
ed forever; 9 cases out Of 10 are caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give 800 for any case Of deaf
ness (caused by catarrh) that can not be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.
