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 inflarned con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachiar Tube. When this tube is infiarn
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 inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

Buy Cattle for Preservation.

Within day or so representa-

Bliss, Okla, will ecofne to South
Texas to purchase longhorns for
the pastures of the Miller brothers.
The longhorns have always appeal
ed to the Millers, and they are
making efforts to secure all the
surviving cattle of this breed in the
country.
Like the buffalo, the longhorn is
disappearing, owing to the com
mercial prejudice against their
tough flesh. It is impossible tc

bovine stomachs, they remain lear

He's coming here tomorrow and
Saturday, about 500 of him. on
the regular tourist excursion due
this week.
The cold weather of the last two
or three weeks in the north has
caused, passenger agents say, an
unprecedented rush for tourist
tickets to the south and southwest.
Persons who had been putting off
southern trips until later decided
to come south Immediately, and as
a result all trains leaving Chicago,
Kansas City and ST. Louis last
Tuesday were crowded, although
there were extra sections to each
train.
Leaving the starting points
Tuesday of this week, the advance
guard of the tourists and land
seekers will arrive in Brownsville
tomorrow night. A great many
more will come Saturday and Sun
day. Special cars will convey
scores of them.
In preparation for the coming of
the travellers, Secretary Herman of
the publicity bureau is very busy
throughout the city securing rooms
and boarding places. The location
of these places will be given to the
visitors when they arrive here.

CUSHIONS FOR SUMMER DIvANs.
filet Covers Are Pretty and by No
Means Hard to Make.

The woman who does not confine
the cushions of her summer divans en-
tirely to madras and washable cottons
should have one of the new flet pillow
covers which are much easier to make
than they look
The pillows should be quite small
and fat, about the size used in baby
coaches and the covers made of alter
nate squares of filet and hand embroi-
dered linen, edged with Cluny lace,
should button on that they may be
often washed.
Select for the linen squares an open
work design in which eyelet work pre-
dominates; use only enough of the
satin stitch to make stems or a few
dots. Do not have too much work
on these squares: the main thing is to
have them quite open to show the col.
ored silk or mercerized pillow cover
beneath
Even easier is one of the covers
made from an entire filet square that
just fits the pillow. The cover may
be alike on both sides, or, If that is
too expensive, the underside may be

METHODS OF PERFuMINo HATS.
Paper Box Lined with Silk Perhaps
the Most Effective.

The perfumed hat fad grows apace,
and every milliner has her own way of
doing it.
The essential thing" says one milli-
ner, 'is any kind of box But it must
be large enough to hold the hat with
out crushing the feathers. One woman
used little tin ice chest which had
been unused for a long time and was
free from smell. A big white paper
box can be set inside the tin one. Then
comes the matter of seeming the pa

silk
THE most successful scented hat
box | ever saw was made of paper and
there were four inside pieces of silk
which served to line 1t. They could be
removed. When filled with scent they
were simply overpowering and the pa
per hat box was bower of the richest
sachet. And into this the hat was
placed.
The cover was put on the paper
box and the whole thing was set away
in the tin chest. The chest being air
tight held the scents within. And so,
the hat became scented. 1t held it's
scent, even in the wind for three
months

In this plan. A bungalow. properly
speaking, has only one floor, but this

The bungalow developed in this
country on the Pacific coast. The idea,
was probably originally brought from
India although a great many archi-
tects claim that the modern bungalow
really is the outgrowth of the log
cabins, and the sod and adobe houses
of the early inhabitants of the United
States Probably bungalow archi'
tectural ideas could be traced back to
all these sources. The result is that
we have very comfortable low cost

PIG AND SHEEP NOTES.

Lousy hogs and thrifty hogs are
strangers.
Give the ewes and lambs a dry
shed at night and sunny spot in the
day.
Do not run the sheep on last years
pastures this year. This is the safest
method of keeping them free from
stomach pests.
Damp. dirty bedding and healthy
pigs will not be found in the same
house. Cleanliness is one of the
prime requisites for success.
A fresh coat OF whitewash on the
inside of the sleeping quarters always
looks good to the visitor and also
tends to check the spread of vermin.
A weak solution OF some common
coal-tar dip sprinkled about the hog
house will prevent foul odors and help
to preserve the general health of the
herd.
Health and vigor are great preven.
tives Of disease. Feed the ewes liber-
ally a.d let the lambs learn to eat
while young. Stomach worms do not
get possession readily where the
lambs are well fed

DRAFT HORSE BREEDING.
Il Pays the Farmer to Raise Coed
Draft Colts.

Our most progressive farmers are
reading the signs OF the times and
keeping mares to do their work and
also raise colts. The mares are bred
each year. Such farmers realize that
the greatest profits are not made from
some one crop, but In conserving
small profits from every crop, and
not the least profitable is the colt
crop.
A pair of mares handled properly
will do good seasons work and raise
colts in addition. BY their labor they
can be made to pay for their feed.
and also that of their colts until a
year old. At the end of the year one
has as his profits the colts reared,
which have cost him only the actual
service fee of the stallion.
fancy | hear some one say that
mares sucking colts will not do as
much work as geldings. l will grant
that is true, but good pair of mares
sucking colts will do all the work In
day any farmer ought to do. Where
brood mares are kept to do the work
IL is a good plan to keep larger num-
Der OF them than would be necessary
were geldings used. For instance,
keep FIVE mares to do the same work
which would be expected Of four geld
ings. This will permit exchange of
mares in the teams at foaling time.
This plan of keeping an extra mare
will be found to be profit by the In
creased value of all the colts reared.
A pertinent question is, What is
the best type of mares to select for
breeding and farm use? This ques-
tion must be answered somewhat ac-
cordlng to climate, topography of the
land, the size of fields and the nature
Of tho crops grown. Where the fields

nothing to say against large two-story
solid houses as heavy as anyone
wants them. They are all right in
their places, but what suits one does
not suit another either in plan, ap
pearance or cost, and the bungalow
has added a chapter to house building
which meets the view of a large and
increasing number of persons.
This house plan gives an opportuui
ty for young people to start In with a
home of their own without a great out

with families of five or six children to
build house like this, occupy 1t for o
year or two, then add a cellar, sleep

back or side and many other attractive
features as they felt they could afford
the expense. And very often the
money saved in rent has paid fol
these improvements.

this kind and am optimistic enough
TO believe that similar sentiments are
increasing as the country becomes

dences OF economy that never no,

Economy is one of the greatest vir
tues. Economy and ignorance seldom
go together 1t requires a person of
more than average intelligence to
practice economy sensibly. Economy
is not stinginess, there is a wide dis.
tinction.
A house after this plan can be built
for $1,000 or $1,000 according to tie
location, cost of materials and the
price of skilled labor. The price Is
one Of the strongest arguments IN
favor Of building such a house.

The Cameo Popular.

Canoes seem to be with us 10 stay.
According to recent fashion note.
they are even being utilized for the
drop earrings that are fashionable lust
at present, and the dainty effects are
to be found in large and smsLl pins.
in belt buckles and in bracelety. Per.
haps there is no more effective use
for the cameo than in a bracelet set
in jet or old gold. One beautiful de-
sign noted in one of the shops recently
was wide carved jet setting for a most
delicately carved cameo. Then there
are large brooches which are exquis-
itely outlined, and even hatpins. That
the cameo is extremely popular is
demonstrated by the many limitations,
some of them exceedingly good, which
are to be found.
