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 the Eus'
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam'
ed you have a rumbling 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 by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed 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 Catarrh
Onre. Send for circulars free.

ALASTING EFFECT
This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim
Made for Doan's Kidney PiIIs in
Brownsville.

Relief from the pains and aches
of a bad back is always welcome
to every backache sufferer; but to
cure a lame, weak or aching back
is what's wanted. Cure it so it
will stay cured. 1t can be done.
Here's the strongest evidence to
prove it:
c. H. Hoencke, of 2319 Nc
Kinney Ave. Houston, Tex,
manufacturer and dealer in barrels
since 1872, says: For about a
year 1 had more or less trouble
with my kidneys. 1t was caused
by a cold or by straining my back.
1 had much lumbago, and when
ever I made a sudden movement
1 felt a sharp darting pain through
my kidneys. My back was often
so lame and sore that 1 could not
stoop without suffering severely.
The kidney secretions scalded and
were very scant in quantity. 1
used remedy after remedy but
found little benefit until l got
Doan's Kidney Pills on the advise
of friend who had been cured.
By the time I had taken half the
box the backache had disappeared
and the secretions were clear and
natural. I have advised many
others to use this remedy and al
ways keep a supply in the house. ="

THE chief trouble with the coun-
try seems to be that there is not
enough money to go around. The
people have more of value in their
possession than ever before, bigger
crops, more products of all kinds,
bat there is not money enough to
serve as a medium of exchange. It
hardly seems right that what money
there is should be tied up to pay
she gambling debts of the Wall
street parasites, who are the only
ones that never do produce any
thing of any value to their fellow
man, while the industries of the
entire country are held in check
Cor lack of money to keep things

Try, but what is to be done to rem
edy the matter, will take wise

Good Way to Kill a Town.

One of the best ways to kill the
growth of any city or town is for
the property owners to place fcti-
tious values on the properties they
have for sale, and in many in
stances refuse to sell to parties who
would improve them. Such citi-
zens might be classed as town hogs.

rior will be united in a way impos-
sible of accomplishment by any
other means of transportation, yet
without impinging on freight Of
ferings properly belonging to the
railway while relieving the COM
z1ercial, the manufacturing and
the agricultural interests of the
country from freight congestions,
that, inevitably, bring loss to pro-
ducer and consumer. Unless
there are continuous. cheap and
safe means of transportation, the
value of the product is diminished,
there is loss to the consumer and
the rightful development of the
resources of the country are re-
tarded to the serious injury of all
classes and conditions of trade and
commerce.
Until the organization of the
National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, inland waterway and
harbor improvements were under

fetal to particular localities. But
in the very fact that only projects
were brought to the attention of
the Congress of the United States

Train Due Here at $40 p. m. Ran Into
Box Car Last Night.

The p II r. eastbound passenger
train due here at Q 40 p. IN. ran into q
box car In the yards at this place last
night and badly smashed one side of
the engine. Fortunately the train was
on time and WAS not running at the
usual speed or the entire train would
have likely gone down the embankment
into the creek. Had tho engine ran
few feet farther it would have top
pled over into creek. Engineer
Charles Montgomery, Of Dubois, and
Fireman John ID. Patterson OF Reyn-
oldsvllle, had very narrow escape.
The fireman jumped of the engine, but
the engineer did not have time to Jump
after he reversed mis- engine and ap-
pied the emergency brakes. The pas
sengers were shaken up considerably.
A freight train had pulled In on
siding to let the passenger train pass
and they had n box car to switch onto
the back siding, and to be ready to pull
out as soon as the passenger train got
by the crew was shifting the box cor,
but the brakeman made mistake and
threw the switch for main track instead
OF back track and then signaled the
engineer to back up and the box car
was backed out onto Main track just as
the passenger train came along. The
mistake was discovered too late to get
the car in again before passenger train
struck it. The engineer and fireman
on passenger did not see the car on
main track until they were almost on
it. The engine and front trucks Of
baggage car jumped the track, but
balance OF train was not off. The box
car was thrown over on its side.
The wrecking crew soon cleared the
side track and trains ran through the
siding and traffic was not delayed long

To Retailers and Consumers of Ice Cream

On June 1st, 1907, the Dairy and
Pure Food Commissioners passed law
regulating the manufacture OF ice
cream. 1t provides that 1t must be
made In conformity with their law, and
also that all dealers handling ice cream
must have a written agreement from
the manufacture that the cream is made
to comply with the late Pure Food Act,
and In case of failure on the part OF
the retailer to secure the agreement
from the wholesaler the retailer throws
himself liable to arrest and fine, which
is 5000 and cost.
We wish to add to the above that
Christie's ice cream factory has printed
guarantees which go with each bill OF
Ice cream we sell, guaranteeing it to
conform with the late Pure Food Act.
This will relieve you from the strong
arm OF the law, and failure on your
part to secure this guarantee MAKES
you liable. So beware and buy your ice
cream from factory that can glaran-
tee 1t. w. S. CHRISTIE.
