A New and Valuable Book On
 the Subject of
 DEAFNESS Ringing Noises in the Head

When one IS gradually becoming deaf or is troubled with those miserable noises in the head which are so often allied with deafness, he seeks in vain for a plain, easily understood book upon the subject that IS so all important to him. He can get no nearer than the purchase of a medical work, which Is so technical that 1t cannot be understood.
 To meet long felt want, an ablo phy- sician Qormerly a county Medical society president of New York) has written a treatise in simple, clear language, ex- blaming deafness and head noises. show ing how they develop, how insidiously dangerous are the cause, and. best of all, the details Of a home treatment which has restored the hearing of legiops of persons of all ages who thought they were doomed to lasting deafness.
 This book points out the way to better health and to placidity of mind, includ- ing the elimination of nervous troubles The author holds that over nine-tenths of all the cases of deafness are amen- able to the new home treatment
 Remarkable cures are being reported after persons were deaf for years and had almost abandoned hope.
 A copy of this very interesting treatise will be mailed free by writing to the au- thor. Dr. George l.. Coutant, Station ID, ii2 D, New York, N. Y.

The Sheriff Breaks In

The Sheriff loked up from newspaper
 and stated: "This here news item says
 that the Shah of Persia takes no interest
 In horse racing, because he says he al
 ready knew one horse could run faster
 than another. If that shah would only hang around our race tracks for pair
 of minutes he'd find out he was as badly
 mistaken as if he had burnt his shirt.
 One horse can't run faster than another,
 when the Jockey is creased with the nec-
 essary spuds to prevent that very thing occurring. It certainly don't take much of a man to be shah of Persia. There are three or four soda-fountain Clerks in Birmingham who could fill the job and attend writing School at the same time. Whenever I read an utterance like that from some Big Bug in the newspapers always feel that if man is that big a fool he ought to be kicked to death by a Jackass, and I'd like to do the kicking And the Sheriff breathed fiercely through
 his nose and fed small flee at his feet some roasted peanuts.

The Parson Breaks In

"There aint any happier mortal under the sun than a half-cad nigger bow ob- served the Bacllwoods Parson. "Fat and dirty he saunters along the street ;ndulg- ing in an ear-piercng whistle that al- ways contains some melody, and he aint caring about Hobson parcelling out the big offices, nor who gets appointed Post master. or whether the Bulgarans cap ture Neuralgia, or the high cost of liv- ing or anything. The other day I saw a picture strictly belonging to Alabama, and in every way typical. A kinky, greasy. little pot-bellied nigger boy, dressed in fiuttering rags came grinning down the street. Under his left arm he had small watermelon tucked lovingly. The melon was a hardlooking, lsourd- shaped. cotton-patch product containing about 10000 seeds, with a chill to every third secd-a sickly-meated. pale white and pink melon that had been prevented by drouth and cool nights from reaching maturity. The little Coon was hugging this melon affectionately to his side. and with greasy grin was singing in q shrill voice Nearer My God to Theei" l would have swapped good mule for that nigger's feelings; aint it awful, fellows, that we all cant turn back and be boys again just like Jwe was"

The Elephantine Papyrus

run pci NSchiS.
 Until 1907, when the papyrus documents were found in Assouan, Moabite stone was the most important archaeological treasure on earth-the only authentic record of historical incidents referred to in the Old Testament. The Elephautine papyrus consists of three papyrus docu- ments found in 1907. It contains record of tho doings of the enterprising colonists who journeyed from Jerusalem to .the south of Egypt, made permanent homes, married and built a temple not like the temple at Jerusalem, but according to their own independent ideas
 In commenting on the Elephantine pap yrus, Wellhausen stamped the~ discovery as ''an offcitl document of the year AT B. C., and noted that. by the evidence of that record. it was plain trat the colon ists not only offered sacrifices in their temple. but applied to the community of Jerusalem for help in the work of re- building the temple and restestng it's altars."
 The colonists must have argued long and well with the home country before they reached point where they could reject the law concerning foreign mar riages and build a temple according to their own ideas of architecture.

He announced yesterday 10 the commissioners that he would take the traffic question up this week. Tho matter of regulating traffic downtown has been up for some months before the commission.

This Is How

Statistics show that 23 per cent of all clincher tires get rim-cut. Our patent type saves that 23 per cent.
 The 10 per cent oversize, under average conditions, adds 25 per cent to the tire mileage.
 These savings are actual. Tens of thousands have proved them. And one swift glance will tell you how they come about.

Now Non-Skids

Now we have a double-thick non-skid. An extra tread, made of very tough rubber, vt,lcanized on- to the regular.
 A tread with deep-cut blocks, immensely enduring.
 A tread with countless edgesand angles, insuring bulldog grip.
 And a tread whose projections spread out at the base, so the strain is distributed. The lack of that feature has made non-skids shoft-lived.
 Just compare it. You can see that we have the ideal winter tread. And 10000 in actual use have proved it.
