Deafness Caunot be Cured

by local applications as they canot
reach the diseased PORTION Of the
ear. There is only ;one way to cure
deafness, ard that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an Inf1amed condition of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have IA rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the
result unless the inflmation can be
taken out and. this tube restored to
subnormal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Ca,arrah.

condition of the ~ucous surfaces.

SPARE THE OLD THINGS

Most everything is being sacrificed
nowaday to the spirit of practica.
bility. Old love letters are
destroyed because desk room ia
needed. The spreading oak that
marked for decades the turn of
the road is sacrificed to give room
to modern electric sign that tells
the same story. the baby's first
pair of shoes, wee. dainty and soft
as they are, are thrown in the
trash pile that there may be room
in tie top drawer for powder Eox.
3 All Of this destruction..of "auld
lang syne" sentiment and the
basis Of Renaissance is chuck full
OF wrong. The most interesting
place in or near Washington is
Mount Vernon. The most mag mfr
cent square in Philadelphia is
Independence hall. The most
valuable spot in Texas is the old
Alamo at San Antonio. Such
places as these contain the story of
American history, and the citizen
who views an d thinks while view
ing--and no one can view without
thinking-becomes instantly a
patriot. likewise a better husband
and better father.
Keep the old love tokens. Don't
destroy the "old gray bonDets."
Treasure the little shoes. Save
youths love letters. And we may
not have as much room, but will
have more sweetness. and there
will be more heart in the world

FISHING LAWS

The legislature, like all legisla-
lures since Nevada joined the
union. has passed law amending
the fish and game law. This chang
ing the game law is so regular, and
has been done so rften. that it has
become habit One of the most
diff cut Il irCG 10 do seems to be to
so regulate and limit the catching
of the trout in theTruckee river as
t. provide for the catching and
growth of new supply. There
are plenty Of experts who know all
about the propagation of fish, when
they are ready to spawn, how many
eggs each female lays, how long it
takes them to hatch. and all the
rest of it. The trouble seems to be
that the doctors disagree as to the
facts. one bunch of experts, whose
knowledge Of the subject seems to
be profound, will declare that fish
spawn from June to Novenl tr, and
the legislature makes a law pro.
vidng for a close season during
those months. Then another
bunch of pisciculturists proclaim
that ii Is from November to June
that the trout should be protect
ed, and the next legislature chang.
cs the law to fit The new theory. A
fisherman needs to retain lawyer
to advise him when he can catch
fish without danger Of going to
jail.'-Wonder Mining News.

are hacked and cut away without any

characteristic of what is taking place
everywhere, and hundreds Of thou

pavements comes the conviction that
