A Tragic Case of Treasure Hunting In
Egypt.
A certain Egyptian native discOv-

floor of his stable and at once pro-

tunnel. This WAS the end of the man.
His wife. finding that he had not re-
turned two hours or so later. went
down the newly found tunnel after
him. That was the end of her also.
In turn three other members of the
family went down into the darkness.
and that was the end of them.
A native official was then called. and
lighting bis way with a candle, penP-
trated down the winding passage
The air was so foul that ne was soon
obliged to retreat. but he stated that
he was just able to see in the distance
ahead the bodies of the unfortunate
peasants. all of whom had been over
come ny what he quantity described
as "the evil lighting and bad climate
Various attempts ut the rescue of the
bodies having failed. we gave orders
that this tomb should be regarded as
their sPpulcher and that its mouth
should he sealed up.
According TO the natives there was
evidently a vast hoard of wealth
stored at the bottom of this tomb. and
the would be robbers had met their
death NJ the hands of the demon in
charge of it. who had seized each man
by the throat as he came down The

"She charged that Talbot had forced
her 30 pose for a photograph while she
was nude and this caused temporary
insanity. Mrs. Mason'G attorneys at

Public statements like the following
are but truthfuIly representations of

Nearly every member of my family
has used Doan's Kidney Pills and
they have been so beneficial that we
consider them an excellent kidney
remedy. About a month ago I pro-
cured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
at the Harper House pharmacy and
1t required but a few doses to re-
lieve me of a severe attack of back
ache Another member of my family
used this medicine at the same time
and was completely relieved of kid
ney disorders. We would not be
without a supply of Doan's Kidney

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

reach the diseased portion of the ca.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
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 he
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition. hearing will ne
destroyed forever; nine cases out Vt
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
