JUST MANNERS

hands when introduced to lady
or gentleman on the street,"
Just one of the questions asked
Cynthia Grey, but it shows the
false standard common in every
degree of society.
What real value has the lifting
of a hat, the opening of a door, the
shifting of chair, if not inspired
by real kindliness of heart? Does
it-whether we address the we'd
ding gift to the bride or to the
lucky man himself? Is it wrong
really wrong-for a man to
send a girl anything besides fruit,
flowers and candy until he has
know1 her AZ years? Is it really
beyond the pale for a girl to offer
to shake hands on the street if
she likes the person, the person
likes her and both think they are
going to be friends?
What real effect do lust man
ners" have in the development of
a race, mentally, morally and
physically? The real thorough
bred may be born in palace or in
a poor hut; it doesn't matter. The
fneness of the courtesy that
thinks first of others may be ex-
pressed in graceful, cultivated
way, or with untutored rough
ness, but it is courtesy, true man
ners, just the same.
So, instead of worrying our
selves over what is correct in
manners, let's just shake hands,
literally and fguratively, with
every human being whose life
touches ours from now on.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by CON
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an innamed condition Of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inllamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
20 its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever nine cases out
of ten are cause by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an in0amed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case Of deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cur
ed by Halls Catarrh Cure,

We are glad to know that Thur

have punched cattle all over that

times. 1t is composed of eight
limestone ridges, five miles long,
running east md west. These ridg-

pin oak, cedar prickly pears and
GLADE lizards. Some years ago Mar
