THE LIMIT OF pEPRAvITY.

The Boomerang has finally reached
the acme OF journalistic ~depravity. A
newspaper man whose mind Is so ut
terly lost to all the finer sensibilities
OF humanity as to invade the sanctity
OF the home and make sacred memo
ries the byplay, of ribald yellow jour-
nalism has reached the limit. For
such craven work there is but one
compensation-a compensation that
viii come sooner or later to the young
man directly implicated in this case
II his mind v e reaches a state OF
development that would warrant hold
ing him personally accountable for his
acts. OF course. a paper and its own
er are legally responsible for its pub
locations. but there are some things
the law cannot reach, and there are
acts OF employees who have neither
brains nor judgment that seem to be
beyond the power Of employers to con-
troll. Mr.. Corthell has dispensed with
the services OF the guilty employe and
win doubtless make such other repara-
ton as now lies in his power. His
greatest fault lies in the fact that he
has continued to hold a viper to his
bosom when he knew that danger was
constant.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, al they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only n way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition OF the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
it is entirely closed. Deafness is the re
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be token 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 infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We win give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
