on it as money wasted is not up to the
times and lacks a thorough under
standing OF his business. Money
judicieusly spent for advertising is
one Of the best Investments a mer-
chant can make. If his advertising
does not pay, the fault is nearly GER
tain to be his own.
Few people will take the trouble to
remember what you advertised last
month. There is no reason why they
should. If you have discontinued adj
vertising. the other fellow is probably
keeping at it. And. under the cir
cumstances, it will not be strange il
he gets some of the trade you might
other wise retain.

WHAT ABOUT FIXING
FIRST STREET NORTH?

The first of Septem Der is nearly
here and yet the city authorities have
done nothing towards repairing the
macadamized street from the Public
Library building to the Green Bay g.
Western depot, one of the most travel
ed thoroughfares in the city. Those
who own automobiles and do great
deal of driving can't understand why
sucn streets will be neglected and
time and money spent on streets
where the travel is very light il at all.
Is this street to be allowed to remain
this way until next year? The heavy
tax payers want tn know.

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 inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taep 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 inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
