A NEW AND VALUABLE BOOK
ON THE SUBJECT OF
DE q r NE 9 g
Ringing Noises in the Head.

When one is gradually becoming
deaf or is troubled with those misera-
Bile 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 it can
not be understood
To meet a 1ong-felt want, an able
physician -{former}y a county medical
society president of New York; has
written a treatise in simple, clear
language, explaining deafness and
head-noiSeS. showing how they deveI-
op, how insidiously dangerous are the
causes, and, best of all, the details of a.
home treatment which has restored the
hearing of legions of persons of all
ages who thought they were doomed
to lasting Deafness
This book points out the way to bet
ter health and to placidity of mind,
including the elimination of nervous
troubles. The author holds that over
nine-tenths of all the eases of deaf
ness are amenable 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 trea-
tise will be mailed free by writing to
the author. Or. George e. Coutant,

and, in fact, have not yet become

Such fashions! I never thought
women could dress themselves to
look so ridiculous. In everything
there has been improvement, it
seems to me, except women's dress
cannot get used to that. The
scantiness of the dresses is almost

And in this instance, woman has

There isn't any way of getting
round these facts. They ARE facts;
the women who are demanding the
ballot are NOT the women whose
opinions would bear weight: they
are not the women who would stand
out for a principle and back up their
argument by sound, calm judgment
Wherever the suffrage movement
has gained strength-it has gained
it not by force of the argument it
self, but by reason of the women
employing the identical tactics the
men politicians have been employing
since the first ballot was cast.
And the men politicians who have
helped grant suffrage to the militant
sister, will use every mothers daugh-
ter to put over some very slick
politics.
There is no getting round the fact
that EVERY reform must begin in
the home.
Women have benefited enough

form of argument.
When women in the concrete will
demand of their men folk, purity in
politics, purity in every phase of
public and private life-they will
get it.

path that leads to it.

To cary the moral to where it

ment is losing strength because the
prominent women in it are adopting
more and more, the baser methods of
the male political element.
1t isn't enough to shout abuse,
break crockery furniture and dam

The tactics used to bring the
claims of suffrage before the intelli-

the sort to make those people put
any faith in the assertion that, by
giving the ballot to women, all poll

They won't, and a bad matter will
