A Little Good Paint in
 Time Saves $$S

When your buildings need painting, every days delay costs you money. The suu, rain. snow and frost are getting in their work. Lumber costs too much to let It decay for want of little paint. It costs less to use good paint than to 20 without it. We use nothing but good paint and artists with tho brush on all our work. We guarantee n first class and durable job, prices reasonable. Don't put 1t off, let us figure with you on all Painting, Papering, Signs, etc.

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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachan Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this lube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

Catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Preparing Clothes for,
Trips by Motor Car

Keeping ones clothes and small be-
longings in order in systematic way
is always worth while and great saw
ing of trouble, but especially is this true
when starting off for a visit or an au-
tomobile tour. There are many times
when a girl may actually miss the pleas
ure Of such trip merely because she
has not everything ready when a sud
den invitation comes with a short al
lowance of time for preparation.
1t is not the gowns that usually make
this trouble: It is far more apt to De the
little accessories that are not ready or
are not clean.
The wise girl will think this all out
beforehand and see that she has the
right collars. bows and belts for each
shirt waist, guimpe that is clean and
in order for each dress that needs one.
Then there are gloves. handkerchiefs,
shoes, slippers, stockings, and all the
little things one is constantly using.
The we'll dressed girl wants them all TO
correspond with the gown she uses them
with. and yet so often she will md al
the last moment that she has not the
right one and. even if she is not Obliged
to miss the trip, Is not at all satlshed
with :ber own appearance.
Another way in which one can save
much time on one Of these trips Is by
using the same kind of forethought In
packing ones suit case or trunk: Ere
quently, when visiting. girl Will have
to dress hurriedly. She may get in from
a motor car only little before dinner
time or want TO rush off soon after
luncheon for a sail or a game OF tennis
If she has to hunt for the right thing
she will probably be late and she VIII
surely lose her temper.

the field which went up from the bank
Fritz could see man plowtng, at the
roadside along the field some boys were
playing, children were laughing and he
turned to the boatman and said this
is the best island we have been to yet.
/ think ! would like to live here. I
could work part of the time and play
part of the time, and while there might
be sometimes when I was sorrowful, a
good deal of the time I should be
happy"
Just then Fritz turned around and he
saw in the distance a flock of sheep
that looked familiar, and hill that
looked like a hill he had been used
to seeing, and turning to the boatman,
he said: What is the name Of this
island?" And the boatman said: This
is Homeland It is the place from where
we started and where a little while ago
you were SO discontented.'

the boatman, ''as 1t does to go away
and then come back to it"
