Deafness Cannot be Cured

restored to its normal condition, hear

DO men spend their hours of pastime

us to know anything OF their habits
there and to believe that they fore
gather just for the sake of following
their precious cult OF silence?
Why. men talk OF everything, ev-
erywhere--of politics, finance, the
army and navy, public events, crick-
ct and horse racing. art and literature
they don't have views for the sake
of keeping silent about them. Their
live are full and varied: they skim
from the surface of one interest to
another. their chums are chosen in
stinctively from among those who
can best discuss the world and it's
affairs from their own point of view
or have a healthy tussle with them
from another.

been going about talking In pulpits,
on rostrums, In market places and
in quiet corners. and whenever they
have been In want of a subject OF
conversation they have remembered
their women folk at home. and that
there Is no peace there at all because
women are "such creatures to talk"
II they have had pens as we'll as
