CIGARS AND DRINKS AT
SUNDAY NIGHT SERVICE

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., June 12.-
(SpeciaD professional bar tenders
served the soda water lemonade and
sarsaparilla at the Sunday evening
church service held under the direc-
ton of the Rev. Sydney Goodman OF
one feature of the singing service
was that two or three Of the profess
sional vocaIists at well-known cafes
here sang solos, most of them of q
religious nature. There were cigars
pipes, and tobacco and cigarettes in
plenty, and those men who sat in
stuffy corners of the big room took
off their coats when they became toe
warm
The services, instituted two or thre
weeks ago, have proved unusually
successful DR. Goodman has sue
ceeded in getting out men who have
not darkened a church door in many
years. He never goes ipto a long
dry sermon at these services, which
are held at the close of the regular
church services. He simply sees tina
the men have a good time. They sins
couple of hymns smoke, chat and
listen to solOists. Sometimes he has
moving picture show for his con-
gregation and gives them just short
talk on religious matters.
1t was not till tonight that he in
troduced his soft-drink innovation. 1t
proved quite an innovation, especially
in view of the fact that two or three
bartenders offered to take care of tbs
liquid refreshments so there would b6
no muss connected with the serving

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect heasing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation 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
TANNED condition of the mucous sur
faces.

The Oval

Many of the new hats are being
made with brilus which are curlously
elongated from side to side SO that
the final form is entirely oval, the
quaintness of the shape being en-
phasized by the arrangement of the
trimmings
This is placed, as a rule, so that it
goes straight across the front, often
extending itself for some little dis
lance, even beyond the already wide
brim. Hats in speckled blue and
green straws made in these shapes
are being very smartly trimmed with
parrot plumage in brilliant colorings,
Others, again, are arranged with
crowns of silk net woven with dia-
mond-shaped spots, and brims of
Dunstable straw, on the front of
which very large shaded wings are
placed, two on either side, so that
they also add to the width of the
hat in most remarkable manner.
