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 inhamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is indam.
ed you have runbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, 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 ~ Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inAamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrb

lngton Park goes steadily on. A
number of teams are employed
hauling dirt to fill around the band
stand, at the rate of seventy loads
day. The ground for breadth Of
over ten feet encircling the band
stand has already been raised and
prepared for planting, and the
committee request THE HERALD to
say that those who wish to donate
small plants, such as pansies,
foliage plants, ETC., may send them
now. as they are ready to plant
them. Donations of palms and
tepehuaje trees are also solicited.
Holes are already dug for twenty
two trees, and the committee hope
to get the necessary trees at once.
As result of the late financial
stringency and restriction of money
orders issued by the banks, the
money order business of the post
offices has been greatly increased.
In Brownsville the business of the
postofice during the past month
has been very greatly increased
from this cause. AS usual thing
the number of money orders Issued
by this Office average from fifteen
to twenty five, but for the past
month they have averaged from
thirty FIVE TO fifty per day.
News was received here this af-
ternoon by telephone from Har-
lingen that E. H. Bracket of

His wound is said to be not serious,
but doctor was summoned from

ing by automobile to Harlingen as
soon as the news was received.

Tipping Known to Antiquity,

Under one form or another tipping
has been known pretty well back
toward the sun-up Of history. There
is no civilized country where the prac-
tice has not its votaries and its VIC
Tins. Almost every important Ian
guage has its special expression to- con-
vey its existence. In the Far East it
is known as "backsheesh." France has
it's "pourboire." Germany it's "trink-
geld" India its "dastoori." and even in
the wilds Of Africa its dash" Ire
land has an expression peculiarly its
own. familiar to many a traveller in
the words. "Ah. your honor. will you
not lave me your blesSin'?"
Tipping is undoubtedly in the line Of
direct descent from the ancient giving
of largesses by ancient king and no.
bles. but something very like modern
tips were in evidence also in the great
household of the Romans. whose slaves
not only received many little gifts but
also pilfered freely from the household
funds with little interference from
their masters. Many Roman ladies'
were also wont to pay literally for the
secret delivery of their letters to ad-
