Deafness Cannot Be cured

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, that Is by constitutional reme-
dies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition Of the muscous lining
Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is inllamed you haze a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
1t IS entirely closed. Deafnoss IS tho
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 inflamed condition OF
the muscous surfaces.

What Children Swallow.

In the London Hospital there is
at present a tiny patient, one year
and three weeks old, who is suffer-
ing from the effects of swallowing
hair curler.
Seven weeks ago, following every
baby's instinct of putting anything
and everything into its mouth, she
seized upon fascinating object used
by ladies to induce a becoming wave
in the hair, and promptly swallowed
1t. The baby is kept under CLOSE OBJ
servation with the X-rays, and Il is
hoped that, as there is no innamma-
tion or high temperature, an opera
tion will not be necessary.
A Daily Mail reporter was In
formed that the case was by no
means exceptional. Recently a child
was under treatment who had swal-
lowed toy bicycle, and another was
brought in with brass monkey in
his interior. Coins and boot buttons
were very frequently swallowed;
while thimbles, pins and even knife
blades have been removed from tiny
children. Owing to the X-ray the
treatment of such cases has been
much sinplifed.-London Mail.

Hay Land Needed Nitrogen.

BY way of illustrating the lack Of
intelligent Discrimination often
shown by farmers in making a pur-
chase of fertillzing materials, will
cite an instance that came to my per-
sonal attention in one of the New
England States. The farmer in ques-
tion had a soil which was greatly in
need of nitrogen. In fact. for his
grass this was the manurial constit-
uent chiefly lacking. yet with the
spirit of economy filling his soul and
with an utter disregard of the guar
antees on the bags. he bought lot
wholly mixture of kainit and acid
phosphate and then applied a lot OF
it to his grass. with the result that
hardly appreciable benefit was no.
ticeable. Had he understood his
business and gone to the expense Of
purchasing in addition $50 to 800
pounds of nitrate of soda, costing
from $6.25 to 81 per acre, he might
readily have increased his hay crop
from two to three tons per acre.

Hauling Manure Daily.

Experiments made by the Ohio sta
tion prove that when manure was
thrown into the open barnyard and
permitted to lie there for Ave months
before being hauled to the field 1t
had a value OF $2.40 per ton. When
drawn directly to the field as fast as
1t was made the value was 1920 per
ton. When the manure was sprinkled
with ground phosphate rock as fast
as 1t was made in the stable, thus
preventing loss from ammonia, the
value was 1918 per ton. The claim
is made that at least Dne-third of the
value of the manure is lost as 1t is
usually put on the land with a fork
and that ten loads put on with ma
nure spreader go as far and do as
much good as fifteen loads put on .

Passages for reference: Psa. 102.

THAI the spirit of Christianity is
unselfishness-is very evident from
all the teachings of the Bible. In
the main reference for our topic we
find clearly set forth the idea that
God gave to the people through the
prophet Isaiah. They had formed a
wrong idea of what a fast meant, and
while claiming to be religious they
had abused their religious observan-
ces. In brief, the true idea that is
enjoined is that relief to the needy,
whatever the need may be is the true
expression of a right attitude toward
God He needs not our help, but his
weak ones do and we pay our debt to
him by helping them for his sake.
More and more the contrast between
Christianity and the world is being
brought to the front. The world says,
Look out for this man-self; Chris.
tlanity says, Look out for the other
man. In the world spirit all the
world pours its contribution into the
hopper OF self to enrich the individual.
In the Christian spirit the Individual
pours out of his resources anG drains
his forces to scatter abroad and en-
rich the world. 1t is all difference
of direction. The contrast may be
seen in great combinations. Gradu.
ally there has come TO the knowledge
of the country the schemes and
methods by which great organizations
and trusts have conspired to enrich
themselves at the expense of the
public.
No Individual is able to meet his full
obligations to others unless he is
at his best. Neither is any land or
nation equipped TO do its full task in
the worlds work that is not at its
best. 1t Is not at its best when any
considerable number of its citizens
are ignorant, unframed, and so eX-
posed to every vice and degradation
that humanity is heir to. The mil
lions of colored people that constitute
so large a part of our Southern popu.
lation did not come here at first by
their own choice, neither was their
continued state Of illlteracy, while in
contact with the white man, their own
fault. Their condition when set free
from slavery and thrown on their own
resources under such burdens for self
support and self-goyernment was not
their own fault No one questions
the great menace to a nation of mil
lions of illiterate people, whatever
their color. For the safety of our
own national life we must settle the
I blem. 1t is one that is America S
problem so far as citizenship is con
cerned. It is the church's problem
so far es their character is concerned.
