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 infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
hammation 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 Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton OF the mucous surfaces.

Smaller Farms and More Income.

Famous farmers over 1000 years
ago said: "You will admire a large
farm, but cultivate a small one. :"
"A small farm cultivated is more
fruitful than large farm neg
lected. +"
The big farms haye brought Italy
to rottenness.
The farther advanced the culture
Of a people may be, the greater is
the demand for food.
There was time when mans
sustenance was represented by 1913
pounds Of rye per day, which unit
of rye when made into bread and
eaten, with copious draughts Of
water, kept the human machine
running.
Culture now calls for the good
tasting foods-milk, butter, meat
and the result is an advarc3 in
prices of these foods and fall in
the price Of cereals.
The question then is, who is to
furnish the meat, milk and butter?
The farmer of a small acreage is the
man!
Again, is the small farm a feature
of American ag, iculture? Decided
ly no.

When does woman cease to be
young? Woman herself, for reasons
that require no elaboration here, de-
clines, as rule, to fix the period. Mas
culine authorities, for the most part,
are chary of venturing upon such dan
gerous ground. Hence the question has
ever been involved in uncertainty and
1t would perhaps remain SO were 1t not
that responsible authority-none 9th.
er than the Young Woman's Christian
association, the title Of which indi
Gates Its competency-comes to the
front with decision which may fair
ly be accepted as conclusive. 1t Is to
the Boston branch OF the association
that the world is indebted for the So
luton Of the problem. The occasion for
solving 1t arose from the completion
OF new home for the young women
OF the association In the Massachu-
sets city. In framing rules for this
establishment, 1t was found necessary
to specify precisely the limit of young
womanhood, beyond which the bene-
hts OF the home could not be enjoyed.
This has been fixed at IS years. Up
TO that age young woman comes
within the meaning of the title as un-
derstood by the association and may
enjoy the advantages of membership
and residence in the home. On reach
Ing her thirty-f1fth birthday she must
resign her quarters. On that fatal day
her young womanhood ceases and the
odd maid" label is placed upon her
indelibly and irrevocably. Thus the
matter is settled beyond further cavil
or dispute. Chronicle-Tel.

HE CURED THE HAY FEVER
Cleveland Mans Attempt Rather
Strenuous Affair, But 1t
Worked.

An east end man with bad case
of hay fever heard that sojourn in
beer cellar, or packing house re-
frigerator would relieve the distress
ing malady. He had no entree to beer
cellars, and all the packing houses
We're too far away.
So he went into the pantry and
after removing the eatables from the
upper portion of the icebox, put his
head into close conjunction with a So
pound lump Of ice, In this manner
he hoped to freeze out the annoying
germs.
1t was a slow process and not alto
gether comfortable, but everything
including the germs-appeared to be
going all right-when the convalescent
happened to push the box too close
to the wall, and the 40-pound cover
suddenly dropped on his defenseless
head like vicious piledriver.
For a moment the dazzled victim be-
lieved that his throat was cut and his
skull smashed by the same blow. But
he managed presently to extricate
himself and below for help.
Two days later the only reminder
of his cruel experience was a lump
on the back of his head as big as a
green tomato.
And every vestige of hay fever had
left him!-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
