Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional REM
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucuous lin
ing of the Estachfan Tube. When this
tube is fnflamed you have rumbline
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflmation 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 infiamed condition OF
the mucuous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by CD
tarrh that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

The First Spike Driven
On the San DiegO-tO-
Yuma Railroad

San Diego, Cal, Sept. g.
The first spike in the permanent
track of the San Diego and Ari-
IONA railroad was driven this
morning on the right of way
granted to Tia 'Juana, Mexico.
Construction work is being
rushed, and it is thought that
unless unexpected delays inter
vene the entire line will be com
pleted within a few months.
The railroad as now planned
at least so far as the plans have
been made public-will terEi-
nate at Yuma. What advantage
there can be in running to Yuma
and stopping there. where there
is no important commercial cen
ter to be tapped, and no greatly
remunerative district of any kind,
is Il question which railroad men
on the outside are unable to an
Swer.
To close observers, however.
it seems apparent that the San
Diego. Arizona line must be de-
signed to connect in time with
some of the inland trunk systems
which are seeking coast termi
nal.
OF these, latter the Ell Paso &
Southwestern is at present con
sidered the most likely candidate
for coast honors. 1t is known
that the road is now on the eve
of pushing westward through
Southern Arizona toward Yuma
It is also known that the r
Paso & Southwestern and thu
Southern Pacific are on none TOT
friendly terms, and that neither
party relishes a prospect of run
ming Southwestern trains owe,
S. 2. tracks.

any one who doubts starts a scrap book
instantly and find out the truth.
But of all scrap books the one likely
to prove most profitable for the young

plays, is the music scrap book. in which
are treasured the vocal and instru-
mental waits that constantly appear In
magazines and journals.
These fugitive productions which in
ferest the young girl include the ballad
which just suits her young, fresh
voice, the simple nocturnes or the
fetching twostep which ven her not

Il FALSE ECONOMY.
The Housewife Who BoiIs Her Window
Shades.

Here is a new one for the frugally
minded housewife:
whenever l have old window shades
which have become too soiled to put
up again." writes a housewife in a GER
tain magazine for women. II take them
of the rollers, give them a thorough
boiling, then wash and dry and iron
the same and"-now listen to this; they
don't turn put to be piano scarfs or
mantel Grapes or even little girls pet
t~lcoats. but says this careful person
II have excellent cloths, which are
good for busting, cleaning windows or
drying cut glass" Now, will you lis
ten to that-"excellent dust cloths
and how would you like the task OF
boiling up a lot of old window shades I
'Twould be a pleasant undertaking,
wouldn't 1t?
There can be no question that the
effort to economic is In every way
commendable and. dear knows. rare
enough in these days of prodigality,
but there is a limit past which econ
omy ceases to be a virtue.
There are women with whom eco
omy has become almost a mania.
Doubtless she of the boiled window
shades is suffering from such a malady
else she wouldn't be boiling up her old
shades to make busters when she
ought to be standing in front of her
looking glass curling her front hair or
sitting down and studying her Sunday
school lesson.
But this is only one example Of the
false economy that saves and makes
over to poor purpose. Economy is
doubtless n poor name for this particu-
lar sort of thing. 1t is. in truth, more
of an oyerpowering desire to make
something out of nothing, which gen
orally ends in exactly the other, very
much the other, way about.
Old dresses made over at great labor
and expense and leftover food re-
heated with more eggs and butter than
a new dish would be worth are exam
pies of this same mania, which pos.
sesses many a good woman.

Why the Upper Part of II Wa Named
Fourth Avenue.

My tnG OQp6T EaTI VI u w ac tNarIS6
Fourth Avenue.
In the early forties Of the last CEN
fury there lived In Brooklyn a Mr..
and Mrs. Smith. Mr.. Smith was a ris-
ing civil engineer, and most Of his
work was In New York. 1t was nee
essary that he be nearer his place of
business than Brooklyn. for in those
days ferries were slow and infrequent,
no bridges spanned the river, and horse
cars were the %speediest means of
transit. Being q man Of moderate
means, MI. Smith went house hunting
through the streets of New York, seek
ing a modest but respectable abode.
Near the upper end of the Bowery he
found a small house. Elated with his
success, he rushed home with the news
to his wife. But when he mentioned
the name of the street In which this
house stood his wife's face fell.
How could you think Of itT she
aslsalA Smith WAS IN desnair.
Even as far back as 1910 the Bow
cry had acquired an unenviable repu-
tation. MI. Smith tried to explain
hat the upper part of the Bowery
was still untarnished; that many very
respectable people lived in that part
of town; that it would be many long
years before crime and sin would
spread that far north.
1t was all wasted energy. The fact
that she would be living on the Bow.
cry was sufficient for Mrs. Smith.
AS a civil engineer it was Mr.,
Smiths custom to overcome obstacles
The following day he hired a convey
ance, and he and Mrs. Smith went
house hunting together. Mrs. Smith
knew her Brooklyn thoroughly, but
had only a slight acquaintance with
New York. After driving through
many streets without finding a suita-
BILE house the husband quietly turned
into the Bowery at Union square and
slowly walked the horse In the direc-
tion Of the house he had found the
previous day.
Suddenly Mrs. Smith exclaimed,
why, there's a pretty place to let,
dear!"
"Where?" l~istlessly questioned her
husband, purposely looking in the OPP
been so intent upon the house in ques-
ton she might have noticed the mer-
ry twinkle in her husbands eyes and
suspected something.
Fright V there" she replied,
pointing to the house with the "To
Let" sign.
An examination of the premises con
WINGED Mrs. Smith that she must have
the place, and when she learned that
her neighbors were old friends of hers
she had her husband close the bar
gain at once.
All this time NJ mention was made
of the street. How Smith managed to
Smith In the dark as to the name of
the street is a mystery. But there
came a day, and there was a storm
The tear fall was something heretofore
unknown In the Smith household.
Once again MI. Smiths habit of
overcoming obstacles stood him In
good stead. His wife would not live
On the Bowery. Her home was ideal,
her neighbors were good people, but
they lived on the Bowery. So Smith
and one Of his neighbors went before
the board of aldermen. The neighbor
had influence. The street signs from
Union square down to Fourth street
were changed. Instead of "Bowery'
the words Fourth avenue" were sub
stituted.
And Mrs. Smith wal happy ever aft
