So Says J. N. Devine-Warns the
Farmers Concerning the Canadian
Reciprocity.

In a conversation with j. NJ. De-
vine this week, he smilingly said: Il
note the farmers replies to my ad-
dress given at the farmers institute
on 'Minot's Relation to the Farmers
and the Farmers Relation to Minot,
and especially noted the eight pound
fish story and the 81. 90 hair cut and
shave and the necessity of every bus
mess firm having bell hop to jump
at the arrival Of any and every +
wagon that may come to the city.
1t would probably be safe to ad-
nit that some business man might
short weight on 10 pound fish, some
barber push the price on a one year
hair cut and shave, but be that az it
may, 1t is equally possible that some
farmer might sell ten eggs for doz-
en-, IA ounces Of butter for a pound
or cunnlngly and skilfully 30 load a
hay wagon as to make It look like q
ton and a half when It weighs but a
ton. ..
SO you see there are business men
and business men, just az there are
farmers and farmers. In either case

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
Unframed condition of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, deafness is the result, and unless
this Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
