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 Ens
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham'
ed YOU have a rnmhling 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 hy Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhaned 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

An interesting sight in Matamo-
ros is four fine bull terrier pups
belonging to Mr.. R. Bennevendo.
The pups are now about four
months old, and it is astonishing
to see how ferocious the little an
finals are, so fierce, in fact, that it
is necessary to keep them in double
wire cages. One of them in par.
ticular is unusually fierce and Mr.
Bennevendo is training him as Al
professional fighter. A match for
a thousand dollars has already
been made for fight between this
pup and another from some other
place, which will take place at the
bull ring in Matamoros in January.
Much interest is felt in local sport
ing circles in the coming dog
match.

SaUms Stockings

In order to hold stockings IN shape
and IN place Il mas always been neces-
sary to have them caught I'D well at
the top. and the clasps used on the sup
porters IN time break through the fine
threads because Of the strain.
This may be avoided even with the

hem Of each stocking. one on either

the hose. but on the ribbon. into which
are fastened the clasps OF the sup
pCrters.
The beauty of this simple device is
that one can draw ones hose up, as
tight as one wishes and feel perfectly
safe from runs which ruin 50 many
fine stockings. With this plan the only
places the sheerest hosiery viii wear
out are In the feet.
There is another plan that IS cutie as
effective, Though less decorative than
the ribbon, for with the latter II IS al
ways easy to match the exact shade OF
the stockings, and that IS to use tape
instead Of ribbon.
When tape is used IL IS U1ads into
loops. fastened 10 the hem OF the stock
ings, one on either side Through these
the ribbons from the elastfcs are passed.
The last scheme is perhaps less prac-
deal than the first, because the sup
pOrters or gaTteTs have TO be changed,
the clasps taken of and ribbons or
elastics fixed so that they can be tied
IN on the loops.
