Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications. as they connot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when
it is entirely closed 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 in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

LABOR ON THE FARM
Hired Help is Scarce and the Women
and Children Assist in the Work.

The high price of all farm products
makes the average city man envy the
farmer his position of independence.
but there are many hardsh1ps and
drawbacks that are unknown to the
man in town who walks to and from
his place of business the working in
rain. the tramping through mud. and
other things of the same order. One
man on a l60 acre farm. with no help
except what he gets from his wife, if
he does not feel we'll. do his work
just the same. If he is up nights
with sickness in his family or among
his stock he must be up and doing at
daylight. and these cold. windy days
he is not sitting by the fire. but he is
out in the field, where the winds get
full sweep. sitting on his pillow and
occasionally walking. And. again,
one little thinks how much of a farm
er's time is put in ON the roads to and
from town. or the amount of labor re
quired to deliver grain to town after
it has been gathered. In conversation
with farmer here today, who lives
eight miles from town. he informed
me that it required forty days time
in making two trips day. or thirty
two miles per day. or 1880 miles of
actual travel. to deliver his grain to
market. Is it any wonder farmers
will vote taxes or take stock in in
terurbans SO as to give them closer
market point?
Hired help is scarce and work must
be done. drove past place where
a woman and her daughter were load
ing manure on a wagon. l thought
this strange. but on going farther
down the road. met boy probably IL
years old coming with another wagon.
and out in the field was the father.
The woman loaded the wagon. the boy
drove from house to field and the
father did the unloading. Stopping a
few miles on ! asked for the man.
Away threshing, was the reply.
Will he be home at noon. - l asked.
81 will call him up on the phone and

she asked: "Will l do the chores at
noon" and "Will you be home early.
or shall do them tonight also?" He
had told her the machine was out of
order and it probably would be late
before he would get home. There
was no complaint on the wife's part.
she took it as a matter of course
that she must do the work if her
husband was away, which consisted
in feeding about seventy-five hogs
and milking seven cows. to say moth
ing of taking care of three small chill
dren.
