Deafness Cannot Be Cured

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 lin

this tube is inflamed you have a
ruNbling sound or imperfect hearing,
ano when it is entirely closed, Deaf
nees is the result, and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by

for that reason not partial to him. One
morning while staying at the magnffi-

came down to breakfast and ordered a
outlet. After he had eaten it he or
dered a second. Baron" said the head
waiter maliciously. its custom with
US never to serve the same course

Fereau. and. rising from his seat. he

said he. Il have just bought this hotel

A FOREST RANGER HERO.
Tragic Incident Of the Forest Fires Of
1910 In Idaho.

st~S'~ sbSbaSUS VI wv i've "
1910 In Idaho.
Overton W. Price, vice president Of
the National Conservation association,
in his book 1.-The Land We Live In
tells this story of heroic forest
ranger:
1.-THE summer of 1910 by reason of
great drought and unusually high
winds was the worst for forest fires
that the west has ever known. In
Montana, Idaho and Oregon the dan
ger was greatest.
ION the Occur d'Alene national for
est, in northern Idaho, Ranger Pulaski
had under him forty men, who after
many hours of hard work had got
big fire practically under control. Sud
denly the wind strengthened until it
blew gale. 1t Immediately became a
question of saving the lives Of the
nen. The fire fighters were in deep
far from any clearing.
pulaski remembered that within
mile Of where they were working there
was an abandoned mine shaft running
back about forty feet into the hillside.
He rushed his men to the shaft as
quickly as possible and told them as
they passed through their camp to
catch up their blankets as they ran.
The shaft reached, Pulaski hurried his
men into it and, packed like sardines,
they filed it up. Pulaski placed him
self at the opening, across which he
stretched a blanket.
''Within a few minutes after the
men were in the shaft the fire came.
The blanket at the opening caught,
and Pulaski jerked it away and hung
up another. which caught in its turn.
The blanket caught again and again.
and each time Pulaski replaced it I'M
til toward the last he held the blanket
across the opening with his bare
hands.
''rhe shaft grew hotter and hotter,
and the smoke and fumes grew thick
er and thicker until the mems suffer-
ings were almost beyond human ell
durance. They began to break for the
opening. Pulaski. whose strength was
great. like his courage. for awhile
forced them back. Seeing that he
would soon be overpowered and that
his men would rush to their certain
death, he drew his revolver and said
that he would kill the first man who
broke away.
I'm perhaps twenty minutes the
worst of the fire passed by. Five of
the men in the shaft were dead from
suffocation: the thirty-6ve others were
alive Pulaski was blinded and seri-
ously burned upon the face and arms.
1t was three months before his sight
was partly restored. Had not his hero
ism and presence of mind been what
they were he would have lost all of
his men instead of five. That is the
kind of men there are in the forest
service"
