Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear. There
Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constit utional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infammed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiammed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can re
taken out and this tube restored to It's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases ou' of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One, Hundred Dollars for any
case Of d. afness Caused by catarrh that
cannot be. cured by Halls Catarrh Cure

Foley on Calves.

Some people think it is great task
to teach the calf to drink, but it is as
simple as pulling turnips when you get
the hang of it. Take your pals Of
milk and go down to the calf pen
whistling soft, plaintive air. Calves
are very fond of music. Take the pail
in your left hand, bend the Calls neck
down so that its nose will just reach
the milk without covering it's nostrils.
You can't do this with one hand, so set
the milk down and use both hands

WORD FROM
TOLSTOY FOR men
Paper on War Against Capital
Punishment Written After
Leaving Home
Advocates Education Rather
Than Attacks on Hangman
and His Employers

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 26.--The
Associated Press received early today
from Vladimir Tschertkon, the literary
agent of the late Count Tolstoy, the
last article written by Tolstoy. IT IS
entitled Effective Means" 1t was
written by Tolstoy in the Optina mon
astery November IL. soon after he be-
gan his self-imposed exile from home.
The article was given the Associated
Press by TschertkoH Mt the express
wish of Count Tolstoy for dissemination
to mankind. II says
Il am naturally anxious TO do all
can against evil. which tortures the
best spirits of our time.
Il think the present effective war
against capital punishment does not
need forcing: there Is no need for an
expression OF Indignation against its
immortality, cruelty and absurdity
Every sincere. thinking person. every
body knowing from youth the sixth
commandment, needs no explanation of
its absurdity ana immortality There is
no need for description OF the horrors
of execution, as they can only aHect
hangmen, so men will more unwillfngly
become eXecutioners and governments
will be obliged TO compensate them
more dearly for their services.
NEED FOR MORE KNOWLEDGE
Therefore I think that neither the
expression of indignation against the
murder of our fellowmen nor the sug-
gestion of it's horror is mainly needed,
but something totally different.
LAS Kantwell says, there are delu-
sions which can not be disproved and
We must communicate to the deluded
mind knowledge which will enlighten
and then the delusions will vanish by
themselves.
What knowledge need we communi-
cate to the deluded human mind, re-
garding the indispensableness. useful
ness or Justice of capital punishment
in order that said delusion may de-
stroy itself?
Such knowledge, in my opinion, is
this: The knowledge of what is man.,
what his surrounding world; what his
destiny; hence, what man can and
must do and principally what he can
not and must not do.
Therefore we should oppose capital
punishment by intoxicating this knowl-
edge in all men, especially to hang
mems managers and sympathfzers, who
wrongfully think they are maintaining
their position, thanks only to capital
punishment.
TEACH PEOPLE, HIS PLEA
"I know this is not an easy task.
The employers and approyers of hang
men with the instinct of self-preserva-
tion feel thatNthis knowledge will make
impossible the maintenance of the tpo-
sition which they occupy, hence not
only will they themselves not adopt it,
but by all means in their power, by
violence, deceit. lies and cruelty they
will try to hide from the people this
knowledge, distorting it and exposing
its disseminators to all kinds of priva-
tions and suffering.
Therefore, if we wish readily to
destroy the delusion of capital punish
ment, and If we possess the knowledge
which destroys this delusion, let us in
spite of all menaces, deprivations and
sufferings, teach the people this knowl-
edge, because it is solely the effective
means in the fight"
