be learned. there is no one who cares

That scientific farming is appealing
to the wide-awake substantial farmers
of the county and that they are alive

more substantial results on the farm
was patent yesterday afternoon when
so many OF tho best farmers of the
county were before the board of coun-

Instance after instance was cited
to show that farmers were taking
advantage of the scientific methods
as taught by experts and that the
results in every instance were most
gratifying.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
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
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
billing sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation 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 in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

1t Is by no means new experience
TO find the miracles of ancient days
and the mysteries of occult arts fad :
ing away in the light of modern sci
ence. The bloody bread of the middle
ages. for example, with it's sinister
forebodings and religious implications
has today become simple demon
stration in bacteriology. Unexpected
luminous surfaces appearing in the
absence of any visible source of light
are easily explained by any student of
the biology of phosphorescence. Even
the almost impenetrable marvels Of
the active mind as well as those cur

which pass under the name of psy-
chic phenomena are yielding to the at
tempts at a rational Interpretation.
Weird visions of a disordered mind
rather than the visitations Of an Of

DR.. Franz Schneider, Jr., of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technol-

Back Bay district of Boston which had
acquired the annoying reputation of
being haunted" The experiences
which led to the investigation were
too serious, the symptoms too real,
the reports too often repeated and
reliable to be overlooked or regarded
as mere hallucinations. The slum-
bers of the inmates in the upper sto-
ries were disturbed by strange SEN
sations, such as those of oppression
or paralysis; they frequently contin-
ued after the sleeper was thoroughly
awake and even after the lights had
been turned on. The involved child
rem appeared pale and sluggish in
the morning, even cold water losing
its power to enliven them.
A careful inspection of the building
gave the key to the situation. The
theory of undetected leaks of illumi-
mating gas as a source Of intoxication
could not be verified in this case;
but it developed that the gases es-
