SOUNDS WARNING TO sATHERs.
Deafness May Be Brought on by Too
Sudden Plunge.

when the warm weather heats your
blood and you long to HE to the
cooling seaside and plunge boldly into
the briny, pause, hesitate. consider"
says an eminent nose and ear speci.
alist. Observe the numbers of bath
ers who during the season evince
sudden deafness, which often fingers
for weeks at a time and sometimes be-
comes permanent trouble.
ITO avoid this do two things. Re
member the ancient instruction to wet
the top of the head first, and never
allow any cold water to percolate to
the drum of the ear. Many people do
not know that the sudden application
OF cold to the back OF the ear will
cause the delicate mechanism to ex-
pand sharply under the rush of blood
to escape. This is always followed
by partial deafness, which sometimes
becomes a serious matter Another
thing to watch is the shampoo. The
same danger lies here II the hair
dresser is either unskillful or care
less. In rinsing the hair the spray
should first be applied to the top OF the
head and gradually brought down to
the nape OF the neck, thus obviating
the trouble

THE Wall OF THE CANDIDATE.
Plant Probably Written by One Who
Has "Been There"

It's fine to be candidate! The
life is gay, although not free; you
can not call your time your own, no
where you go are you alone; the pa
triots dog you every step, no matter
what you do they're bep. Banquets,
tours, receptions take every moment
you're awake And II you snatch a
moments Sleep waiting hordes their
vigils keep. They're waiting there to
interview, or whisper secrets deep to
you. The life is gay, although not
free; you live a hundred months in
three; you're everybody's friend pro
claimed and as villain dark DETAINED.
Your records whitewashed till 1t
CLEANS, then vivisected till II screams.
You seldom see your family, and they

The contented Hostess

All sorts of ideas are advanced by
writer's on women's affairs as to how
to make entertaining easy; how to
step worry; how to make every guest
not only feel at home but that all the
little niceties you offer were prepared
Especially for each one These witt
ers mean well but they don't go deep
enough to get at the real facts or
they would find that Nabisco Sugar
Waters, the dainty, delicious confec-
ton, are the real basis of hostess
success and contented spirit They're
just the sort of dessert for luncheon
ideal after dinner and delightful with
IA hot cup or with the tinkling glass
on moonlit porch. Ever tried them
with chocolate into which a marsh
|mallow has been dropped? Merely a
suggestion.

GATHER UP THE sropwATcHEs
Device Of Racing Judges to Prevent
Too Accurate Timing.

There's tricks in every old game"
tritely remarked John G. Fisher, coun-
ty commissioner and horseman, the
other day.
Down at Rockport track they used
to have great system of preventing
a fast horse from getting low mark
too early in its career Whenever a
heat is about to be raced and 1t is de-
sired to let horse step fast mile
without giving him a correspondingly
fast mark the ones on the inside set
TO work to get corner on all the
stopwatches about the track. Those
stable boys know every man that owns
a stopwatch, just the same as they
know every man who owns rapid
horse The boys are sent to the owners
of watches to borrow them, one by
one.
Then after the heat is over there's
nobody 10 dispute the time. Those on
the inside merely give the time as
about ten seconds or so slower than
It really was, and that's the end Of it.
But they're always particular to have
an absolute corner on the watches"

LONG WARS DUE TO WHISPERS.
Trivial Incident Led to Three Hun.
bred Years Of Fighting.

For ages boards were the delight of
ancient beauties. The sight Of
shaved chin excited sentiments of hor-
ror and aversion. To obey the injunc-
tons Of his bishops, Louis VII. of
France cropped his hair la pompa-
dour aud shaved on his luxuriant
whiskers. Eleanor Of Aquitane, his
consort, found him with this uncom-
mon appearance very ridiculous and
very contemplate. She revenged her
self by becoming something more than
a coquette. The king obtained d.
vorce. She then married the count of
Anjou, who shortly afterward ascend
ed the French throne, and gave him
as her marriage dover the rich prov
inces of Potion and Guienne; and
this was the origin Of those wars
which for 300 years ravaged France
and which cost the French nation
100000 men. All OF which, probably,
had never taken place II Louis VII.
had not been so rash as to shave of
his whiskers, by which he made him

Old Scottish Sanctuary.

The old sanctuary Of the abbey and
palace Of Holyrood house, to quote the
full description, was an interesting In
stitution. The debtor was free from
arrest during the week. On entering
the sanctuary he enrolled himself In a
formal manner and obtained q room
that is, II he could pay for 1t. There
was a public house within the boun-
daries, and II was not uncommon to
see the debtor In the inn playing DOM
inoes and his creditors standing Look
ing in at the window with wistful
eyes. The debtor was safe. and he
knew 1t, and the face Of the creditor
told the same tale. Sunday being a

sanctuary and visit his family, but he
had to be careful to get back to Holy
rood on Sunday night, Sometimes q
debtor had the temerity to leave on a

FOR PIMPLES, TOO
New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradlcates Minor Skin Troubles
Overnight.

A few months ago the dispensers of
poslam, the new discovery for the cure
of eczema, decided to allow the drug
gists of the country to handle 1t. Pre-
vious to that time 1t could only be OBJ
tanned direct from the laboratories.
Since this change in the method of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success Of anything
introduced to the drug trade In the
last 80 years. All leading druggists,
including w. L. Gokay in Bennington
are now carrying the special so cent
size recently adopted, also the 81 jar.
This great success is not surprising
when 1t is remembered that in &C.
zema cases, poslam stops the itching
with first application, proceeds to heal
Immediately, and cures chronic cases
in few weeks. In minor skin trou-
bles, such as pimples, blackheads, ac-
ne, herpes, blotches, rash, etc., results
show after an overnight application.
Experimental samples Of poslam are
sent to anyone by mail free of charge
by the Emergency Laboratories. 80
