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
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t Is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammatiOn can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition
nearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

number of the strongest banks In New
York Of thorough backing of these al
ready strong interests.
"These gentlemen here, as well as
President Barrett, of the National
Farmers Union, consider the plan
acceptable to the growers, and they
are returning to their respective
States to present 1t to their people,
and If 1t be agreeable to the produc-
ers, to put 1t into immediate opera
ton. Senator Bailey, Of Texas, who
is here, has been advising as to the
legal aspects Of the proposition"
Recommended by Watson.
President Watson, Of the Southern
Cotton Congress, commenting on the
plan, said:
we have carefully considered the
whole thing in all It's phases. l crn't
say what the growers are going to
do. The financial end is strong. 1t
holds out prospects Of fine results
and estops any effort at corner Of
the market. 1t seems to insure an
honest price for cotton and to safe
guard the commodity which is the
very keynote OF American finance.
Some one besides the farmer may
make some money out Of 1t, but as
that is done the farmer Is being as
sured several dollars a bale more
than he would get under the present
iniquitous marketing methods. We
are, therefore, willing to submit and
recommend the proposition to our
people, and If they wish to accept It.,
then help them to make 1t as effective
as we can.
'There Is no doubt that the hold
ing and reduction Of acreage pledge,
the movement we have been pushing
SO steadily, has checked the down
ward tendency Of prices under the
persistent hammering up to this time
So far we have fought the battle un.
aided; now that money to the en-
tent Of Of $50,000,OOO is offered, we
may fight harder, and in the end we
hope to put check to methods of
marketing Of nationally important
commodity which the Federal gov
eminent ought to have wiped out
long ago.

WV ITH the advent OF cold weather
w the duties of the housekeep-
err become more exacting be-
cause so much depends upon the at
mosphere of the house. In summer
windows and doors are constantly
open to the fresh breezes, there is not
the care OF heating, and one takes
life more easily.
Healthful animal or vegetable life
cannot be sustained without pure air
in plenty. At this season OF the year
we are apt to forget this and keep
our houses too carefully protected
from the air sLiving in rooms that
are not properly supplied with fresh
air lowers the vitality and makes one
more susceptible to illness.
It is highly important that every
room should be kept sweet, we'll ven-
tilated, and properly heated. A thor
oughly aired room heats more readi-
ly than one in which the air is vi
tiated.

How Women Nv, Irdl,

The women OF India have no desire
whatever to become emancipated,
writes Harriet Quimby in Leslle's.
They Ike a comfortable home, they
love their children. jewels and pretty
clothes and sweetmeats and gossip,
and they like also to drink sherbet
made OF melon and sweetened with
rose water. The Indian woman likes
TO be married and her husband is her
god. In all other things she is indif.
ferent. A survey of woman's intiu-
enee discloses the fact that they are
at that stage Of slavery where the
serf, though suffering the horrors of
thralldom, has become so Indifferent
that he does not appreciate and, IN
deed, stoutly resists proffered release.
Many slaves actually take pride in the
fetters that chain them, especially
when the coming STAKEHOLDER gilds
and bejewels these shackles. The
woman of India is suffering, yet she
wants to be left alone to go on suf-
fering.

THE Common Law" a Wonderful Play

"The Common Law a Wonderful Play
When Lem B. Parker, dramatized
his greatest story into a play, he took
for a foundation and theme, the most
widely discussed subject of today. in
which is found an object lesson in
morality.
Unlike the majority of plays, in
which the unfaithful wife and the
wronged husband, (or vice versa) are
the predominating features, "The
Common Law" shows how great is
the love of true woman, for those
who are near and dear to her. In the
character of Jane Adams, one will see
love and sacrifice so great that she
would buy immunity for a thief broth
er, and at the price of her honor and
virtue.
In THE Common Law you will see
each and every character, true to life.
and you will not find the impossibility
and inconsistent things which are
found most plays of today The
Common Law" teaches lesson that
will live for decades.
