Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications, as they can
not 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
iniiamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing OF the Eustachlan Tube. When
this tube Is inhamed you have a
rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing.
and when Il Is entirely closed. deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored 20 IFS normal condition,
hearing viii be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh. which Is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.

CLAIMS OF CHILDREN.

aThe mere fact of daughters
services being needed at home is no
reason why they shall be claimed af-
ter she has become of age" said a
lecturer the other day, speaking on
Modern Ideas of Duty" before a
prominent women's club, in contra
.vention of some of the objections
made to girls following their own
bent for a career. Especially If there
Is money enough to pay for an adj
ditional hired helper, the daughter
ought to be free-nay, encouraged
to take up another occupation; and,
If there is not money enough, the
ambitious girl will in almost every
case be willing to contribute to this
end from her earnings.
To many parents, suppose, this
modern view will seem unnatural and
unautiful," continued the lecturer.
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1909-07-23
Birds Of the MIGHT.

Have you ever stopped to consider
how many birds there are abroad af-
ter nightfall? Writing in Suburban
Life B. s.. Bowdish, the well-lSnown
naturalist, describes many such birds.
THE screech-owI," he says is prob
ably the best-known member OF the
owl family--the one most apt to come
about barns and houses and even into
the villages, yet its habits are not SO
we'll known but that it is a much
maNgned bird. It's food consists, in
a very large degree, of rats and mice.
and 1t Is the quest of such vernin
which brings It about human habita-
tions, where the pestiferous rodents
often swarm. True this little owl
sometimes takes small birds, but they
are frequently English sparrows, for
which he is entitled 10 almost as
much credit as for his rat destruc.
ton. The ordinary note Of this
species is a long-drawn, tremulous
whistle, which can be initiated suf-
flciently well to call the owl TO close
quarters. 1t has, however, q varied
repertoire Of notes that. heard in tho
stiffness of the night, are almost
blood-curdling. It is an interesting
fact that this bird has two phases of
plumage and gray assumed
without regard to sex or age or the
color Of parents.
