Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin.
ing OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be DESTROYED for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
lnflamed condition of the mucous sur

The first necessity for the young

where it says one rounded teaspoon
full, in which case it means exactly
two level teaspoonfuls; a heaping
teaspoonful means one heaped up.
The same rule applies to the table,
spoonful.)

one level tablespoonful of flour; two
level teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
In cup put piece of butter size of

Grandpa s Money
By NJ. QUAD
Copyright. 1910. by American Press
Association.

Jacob Brown, farmer, had come to
be sixty-five years old when he got his
money. A brother whom be had not
seen for years died and left him $780,
600 In cash. For the five years preced-
Ing the old man had been a widower
and lived alone. He had four children.
two sisters and half a dozen more dis
tant relatives living around him. but
no one had offered him a home. 1t
was seldom that any Of them came
near him. He was referred to as the
old man." and the few acres Of his
stony old farm were not coveted by
any one.
When it became known through a
lawyer that old Jacob had struck it
rich there was hustling. His oldest
son. Henry. was the first to reach his
house. He brought his wife and three
children along. and he galloped lis
horses for the last mile. 1t had been
two years since they had been in the
old mans house. Now they shook
hands with him. The son patted him
Oh the back and called him a glorious
old father. He must give up his farm
and 80 home and live with them. For
the rest Of his days he could sit in
rocking chair and have custard pie
three times a day.
On the way to Henry's home James
and his family were met as they came
driving. James was the second son.
He had often been heard TO wonder
why the old man man didn't turn up
his toes anG get out of the world. but
he wasn't bad son-that is. he had
never thought of killing his father
with club. James leaped from his
wagon to embrace his father and offer
him 4 home for the next hundred
years. He should have fried chicken
and milk toast every day, and the best
bed in the house should be his at
night. No one should rout him out in
the morning. and fresh tea should
await him when be deigned to arise
Henry and James were sQuabbling
when Hannah and Mary. the two
daughters. drove up with their hus-
DandS. Ihey mad come for father.
They had heard that he was i'll and
were going to take him home and
nurse him more tenderly than a baby
with measles.
There was a row on the highway be-
tween those devoted children that was
heard a mile away. but Henry gained
the victory and bore the father away.
That night his house was surrounded
by the two sisters and other relatives.
and they had to be menaced by a shot
gun.
At the beginning of the row there
was only one lawyer in Glendale. the
nearest village. Within year there
were three. 1t required at least three
to keep track of the suits and motions
that came up.
One stipulation that old Jacob made
was that be should be privileged to see
his lawyer as often as he wanted to.
That was respected by all. but from
purely selfish motives. 1t came to be
believed that every time he saw his
lawyer he changed his will. 1t turned
out that this belief was we'll founded.
When death came at last it was found
