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 infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of tho eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t 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 destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an intlamed condi.
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.

cotton bear out OF the business in
the South.
When you have made good crop
of cotton and sold it for good profit,
you have added that much wealth to
the South without making any one
poorer. Remember this! But when
you have made a good crop of cotton
and sold it al cost or below, you
have not only made yourself poorer,
but every industry in the South will
sooner or later feel this loss of profit
that has gone to enrich foreign in
terest. Have Q little talk with your
friends in other occupations about
this matter and let's ell work to-
gether for the good of all.
Now Officers Of National Farmers Union.
At the annual meeting held at
Texarkana the name of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
of America was changed to the sim
I pie and shorter name of "Farmers'
f, Union" We like the change of name.
Charles S. Barrett, OF Atwater,
Ga, was elected president; J. E.
Montgomery, of Tennessee, vice.
president, and r. II. Mccullough, of
Beebe, Ark, as secretary and treas
urer.
This meeting of the Farmers
| Union at Texarkana was said to be
"the greatesv meeting of the farmers
which has ever been held in this ma
tion."
Hon. r. f. Duckworth, ex-presi-
dent of the National Farmers Union,
will start the State campaign FOR or
ganizing the farmers into the Farm
ers' Union at Seneca, s. c., on Sep
tember Goth. We urge every farmer
in the State to go out and hear this
grand lecturer as he comes your
way; it will do you good.
The plan of putting up five dollars
per bale to take up the weak cotton
off the market is good one. Quite
a lot of weak cotton has already
been taken off the market by Farm
ers' Union men. But, in order to
command the situation, we must act
upon an organized plan in broad
way.
Another splendid start has been
made by the Oklahoma Union to
control prices by each farmer max.
ing assignment of all his cotton to
their State agent to be sold by him
at prices made by the union.
The assignment may be made at
the beginning of the year and all
necessary arrangements for advance
ments can be made to better advan-
tage for the farmer by the State
agent than can be made by each in
dividual farmer acting by himself.
The outlook for grand movement
upon solid plan to control The mar
keting of our cotton is very bright,
and if all will keep selfshness out of
it, we will surely succeed in control
limo our own affairs

before he could go she had made a
deep scratch in his nose, which sent
him down the tree yelling.
Nipper was a brave little fellow

among the bear boys, but when it
came to being scratched by a bear
of the opposite sex, and that bear

whitman's Message of Cheer.

OF the days when Walt Whitman
was a nurse in the hospitals of the
civil war; a recent biographer of the
poet says: He would often come
into the wards carrying wild flowers
newly picked and strewing them over
the beds like a herald of summer.
Well did he know that they were mes
sengers of life to the sick, words to
them of the earth-mother of men.
And then as he left of a night after
going his last round, and kissing
many a young, pale, bearded face in
fulfllment of his own written injunc-
tions he would hear the boys calling:

For the most words made
up from these letters

331 people will earn these prizes
331 people will earn these prizes

Around the f1reside or about the
well-lighted family reading table dur
ing the winter evenings the children
and grown-ups can play with their
wits and see how many words can be
made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der of words will each receive little
box containing a $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning a $500 gold piece.
900 people will each win a box con-
tanning .$1.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re-
ceive box containing $4,000 in gold.
1t is really most fascinating bit of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted. but no
name of person. Both the singular
and plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts"
may be repeated in the same word
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with e to
come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, E,
and other columns, to fill in later as
new words come to you, for they will
spring into mind every evening
1t is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list of words a plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape
Nuts, but the contestant is not re-
quired to purchase pkg. These let
tiers are not to contain poetry or fancy
flourishes, but simple, truthful state
ments of fact For illustration. A
person may have experienced some
incipient or chronic ai1s traceable to
unwise selection of food that failed to
give the body and brain the energy,
health and power desired. Seeking
better conditions. a change in food is
made and Grape-Nuts and cream used
in place of the former diet Suppose
enc quits the meat, fried potatoes,
starchy, sticky messes of half-cepked
oats or wheat and cuts out the cdfee.
Try. say, for breakfast bit of fruit, a
dish of GrapeNuts and cream, two
soft-boiled eggs, slice of hard toast
and q cup of Postum Food Conee.

Alp. as Money Makers.

Three million persons are said to
PASS in at the gates of Switzerland
every year, leaving $50. 100000 in the
hotels alone. Add to this fares on
railroads, for carriage hire, boats, ETC.,
and the millions spent in shops for
carved woodwork, clocks, toys of all
kinds, souvenirs, 1aces, ETC., and one
begins to get a fairly good idea of
what it means to Switzerland to have
the Alps as a background for her fl
nancial progress and prosperity.

MES that the noon hour will find q
man on our breakfast huskier and
with a stronger heartbeat and clearer
working brain than he ever had on
the old diet.
Suppose, if you have never really
made move for absolutely clean
health that pushes you along each day
with a spring in your step and a re-
serve vigOr in muscle and brain that
makes the doing of things a pleasure,
you join the army of plain old COM
mon sense" and start in now. Then
after you have been or weeks on
the Grape-Nuts training you write
statement of how you used to be and
how you are now. The simple facts
will interest others and surprise your
self. We never publish names except
on permission, but we often tell the
facts in the newspapers. and when
requested give the names by private
letter.
There is plenty of time to get per
sonal experience with Grape-Nuts and
write a sensible, truthful letter to be
sent in with the list of words, as the
contest does not close until April Goth,
1906. So start in as soon as you like
to building words, and start in using
Grape-Nuts. Cut this statement out
and keep the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts
before you and when you write your
letter you will have some reason to
write on the subject, why Owe
Grape-Nuts."
Remember, 331 persons will win
prizes, which will be awarded in an
exact and just manner as soon as the
list can be counted after April both,
1906. Every contestant will be sent a
printed list of names and addresses OF
winners on application, in order to
have proof that the prizes are sent as
agreed The company is well known
all over the world for absolute fidelity
to its agreements and every single one
of the 331 winners may depend on re-
ceiving the prize won
Many persons might feel 1t useless
to contest, but when one remembers
the great number of prizes-(33D-
the. curiosity of seeing how many
words can really be made up evening
fun and education in the competition,
it seems worth the trial; there is no
cost, nothing to lose and a fine oppor-
tunity to win one of the many boxes
of gold or greenbacks.
We make the prediction tina. some
who win prize of gold or greenbacks.
will also win back health and strength
worth more to them than a wagon full
of money prizes.
There are no pre1iminaries, cut out
this statement and go at it, and send

moonlight until the animals come by
on their way homer" asked Tommy.
ooh, but that would never do re-
piled Red Berry you are the best
speller along the Big Pappio, and 1
wouldn't have you miss being there
for anything in the world and with
this remark she began to Chamber
down the tree.
Tommy was forced to follow, and
while he had half a notion to bolt for
home, he changed his mind, and they
were soon at the scene of the spelling
contest.
Sides were being chosen when they
arrived and standing at the head of
one row was the real Nipper, a big,
red streak across his nose, where Red
Berry had inflicted punishment.
Old Mister Coon, who lived up the
river in big hollow tree, announced
the words.
1t was Nipper who caught the first
one, and he spelled it so easily that
even Red Berry WINGED.
Then berry" was announced, and
the little bear who had sat up on the
limb giggled, for it was the same as
part of her name.
Up and down the line of spoilers,
back and forth, the word was passed,
some spelling it one way and some
another, until finally, just as it was
Red Berry's turn, Nipper popped up
his paw again and spelled berry"
That's good, Nipper; that's good!"
exclaimed old Mister Coon, and for
the first time Red Berry began to
think that, perhaps, after all, there
was a mistake somewhere. Then she
recalled the pretty things that had
been whispered to her up on the
limb, and she said to herself: cit
can't be possible"
Great big words of one and two sy1-
tables came fast and furious from old
Mister Coon. Some were missed and
some spelled correctly, until finally it
was Tommy Bears second turn.
'Cat-nip" was announced.
Tommy suffered and choked, wiped
his face on a red bandana handker-
chief. and began: '.K-y-t-t-n-y-p."
Zone more trial. Tommy said old
Mister Coon
Tommy didn't want another trial,
but he had to take it, so he spelled:
"K-o-t-n-u-p," and everybody, including
Red Berry, laughed till their sides
ached.
Up shot Nipper's paw, and the word
was spelled before anyone else could
have trial.
At last the evenings entertainment
ended, and old Mister Coon said: 81
have the pleasure of presenting this
handsomely bound book on How to
Catch Fish, to Master Nipper Bear,
whom consider the best speller, for
young bear, ever met"
Nipper stepped forward to receive
the prize and as he did so Tommy
Bear backed toward the door, He
knew that he could masquerade no
more that night as Nipper Bear
But the one who felt most keenly
the deception that had been practiced
was Red Berry. At first she thought
she would run away, too, but as her
sex is always drawer than the other,
she marched up to the front of the
den and. putting out her paw, said:
s'Nipper, / am so sorry"
Sorry for what?" asked Nipper.
THAT I didn't know you tonight"
replied Red Berry.
On the way home, when Red Berry
and Nipper passed under the tree
where Tommy had played the part of
Nipper, neither looked up. II they
had they would have seen a lonely
little bear sitting on limb, sobbing
- IL his heart would break
