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 infa1ned con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have 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 infamed 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.

VeIvet-CIad Immigrants.

Observant strangers in New York
frequently ask: Why is velvet
so common a material in the gar.
ments worn by immigrant women?"
1t seems that nine out of every ten
women who arrive at Ellis Island
wear velvet gowns, and a large
percentageof the new male arrivals,
such as Italians, French, Hun
garians and Austrians, are CARRIED
in velvet suits. The other day five
Italian women in a company of
newly arrived immigrants, taking
their first subway ride, were gown
ed in red, green and purple velvet.
The neck and sleeves were outlined
with beaded or tinsel trimmings.
The old woman of the company
wore her waist cut low over white
bodice, with a gay little silk hand
kerchief over her shoulders. The
younger women had already so far
taken up the fashions of Manhattan
as to wear their scarfs clumsily
twisted into four-in-hands, while
one of the number displayed a pair
of patent leather shoes beneath the
hem of her full, quantity fashioned
velvet skirt.-New York Letter
Houston Chronicle.

Can any one suppose that we
Americans shall not be compelled
ultimately to pay for the increasing
extravaganza of our people? 1t is
the result of our unprecedented
national prosperity. and it should
be curbed. We are going EN-
TIRELY TOO FAST. We are too
prodigal of our money. We do
not keep our money at home. We
are sending too much of our gold
abroad. We are buying foreign
novelties and letting our GOLD
go to Europe. We are spending
too much money.
The money ought to be kept
here in the United States. for just
as surely as we send too much of
our gold to the other side just so
surely will we have to pay the
penalty of Our rashness.
We are using up our resources
at tremendous rate, but that is
not our chief danger now. Our
peril lies in our parting with the
we have, and we are like
ly to find ourselves IN NEED IN
THE FUTURE for this very reas-
on. As to resources. think of the
untold natural wealth of this
country that has thus far not even
been thought of, much less invest
igated.
But the trouble, I repeat, is that
the people of the United States are
entirely too prodigal of what they
NOW have. They are taking adj
of a prosperity such as has
never been excelled in this country
10 be both wasteful and extrav-
lgant.
We are not saving up for the
Amy day-for the time of our need.
