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 thar is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely clos ed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

One of the objections sometimes
made to the use Of concrete In build
ing construction is the fact that the
finished surface is rough and no at
tempt is made to give finish to the
surface, either in the molds or after
their removal. This is probably due
to an idea that interfering with the
surface would destroy the skin of the
concrete and lessen its usefulness.
Two methods are now being sue
cessfully employed, giving finish to
concrete either in nodded blocks, or
monolithic construction in place The
first of these methods Is to apply
fresh granite to the face of the mold,
which gives it all the finish and dur
ability of granite ashlar This finish
ing material is ground and sifted into
various sizes, several of which are
employed In making the facing mix
ture, on the same principal as mixing
aggregates so as to fill the voids. The
best proportion is one of cement to
three of aggregate of different sizes.
"A small quantity of hydrated lime Is
added, which on account of its fine
ness, acts as waterproofing, like
wise preventing the block from stick
ing to the mold. The ingredients are
thoroughly mixed while still dry. The
face of the mold is wiped clean and
dry. A thin layer of almost dry spar
mixed with little cement mixed with
a little hydrated lime is spread on
the plate. On top Of this a half inch
of ordinary mixture is spread, then a
layer of rich backing and finally, the
ordinary block mixture which should
be tamped hard.
The above method is the one used
when face down concrete block ma
chine is used, while the reverse proc
cess is used with face up machine.
In this case the grit or feldspar is
sifted dry on the wet cement. The
spar may be pressed into the surface
by running a roller over 1t. After It
has set the surface is washed with a

sprays of fine flowers and leaves. Like
the sheets, which at the right upper
corner are engraved with the home ad-
dress, the envelopes are of a sort OF
parchment paper in old ivory-a tone
which, at the moment, is ultra-smart
in stationery.
Long oblong sheets of glazed-surface
paper with halfinch lap-over at one
end and fitting into extremely narrow
envelopes with straight flaps, are an.
other stationery novelty of this season.
These sheets and envelopes come in
French gray, cream and light brown
shades and to match them are two by
six inch correspondence cards-also
with lap-over ends-and exceedingly
narrow envelopes.
A new idea in mourning stationery
is the envelope in pure white save for
a fine line of black defining its deeply
pointed flap but with black tissue
paper lining. The sheets are merely
edged with black and the address en-
graved in black skeleton lettering.

CLEVER IDEAS FOR BL0USES
Delicate Net Waist and Corset Cover
Are to Be Fastened to the
Same Belt.

A clever New York designer has
made use of French idea In devising
blouses of French net, known as tulle
or blonde and other extremely sheer
fabrics. BY themselves, as every wo-
man knows, net waists are so delicate
that the wearing of them is a some
what trying and uncertain proceed
ing. 1t is practically impossible to
anchor them securely in any one po-
sition. And there can be no such
quality as aft" because of the neces-
sity of having them large in order to
keep them from breaking out.
This New York designer has got
around these objections by putting a
corset cover of lace, embroidery and
ribbons inside the net waist and fas-
tening both corset cover and waist to
the same belt. The ribbons can be
run in and taken out at will and the
combination corset cover and blouse
easily laundered in one piece. These
blouses are a distinct novelty and
quite an inexpensive one. Another
model by the same designer is in
white cotton crepe with regular
Montenegrin jacket, also of the crepe,
but with Persian border The color
ing is repeated in the buttons and the
bow at the neck

REALLY WILL WHITEN HANDS
Mixture of Yellow Cornmeal and ker'
osene Removes coarseness Within
a Short Time.

For softening and whitening the
hands vanity has another assistant be-
sides cold cream. It is the simplest
of home remedies, and has the great
merit of being far quicker in its eff
fects and less bother to use than the
cream. 1t is just a mixture OF yellow
cornmeal and kerosene.
Take handful of the meal, as one
would take soap, moisten this with the
kerosene as with water, and rub the
hands as though they we're being
washed. After this wash them in
warm water. That is the whole pro-
cess. Yet the results, particularly If
one must do housework, by which the
hands are always coarsened, is truly
satisfactory.
No odor Of kerosene is left after
rinsing, and, strange as it may seem,
the effect is excellent on the tiny cuts
and bruises which come with house
work. OF course kerosene and yellow
meal have not a dainty sound, but the
condition which they produce is dain'
tiness, 30 that the important point is
reached after all.

Along the Transylania. Railroad the differ
ent points, notably Lake Toxaway and Bre-
ward, which had iron wire connection last
year, are now all connected directly with
Hendersonville with up to date copper tele-
phone lines.
For weeks different construction gangs
nave been overhauling and rebuilding the
long distance lines in and out of town in
every direction.
Extra operators are already at the switch
board in the central Office, being drilled in
their work so when the rush comes the pub
lie will receive prompt and efficient service.
Farmers Lines
Reaching nearly every point in the noun
tains are also being overhauled and put
in A 1 condition. In fact when coming to
the mountains surrounding Hendersonville,
one need not worry about keeping in CON-
munication with the folks at home. You
will find telephone connection and it will be
the long distance service enabling you to
talk or telegraph anywhere.

Henderson county promptly fulfilled her

Many causes contributed to Greenv6lle
county failing to fill hers.
These causes have now happily been re-
moved, and that short stretch Of abomina-

motor cars of a dozen States from safe egress
to the mountains of Western North Carolina,
is now to be improved.
The road will be completed ip time for

II should be noticed that this precipitation
does not indicate a prevalence of cloudy
weather. On the contrary. this climate is
marked by a large amount OF sunshine.
North Carolina is a part of the "sunny

per cent. less than the average for the state,
This is a very good showing.

In the day can be endured without serious
discomfort if the nights are cool; but cool
nights are absolutely essential for health,
as on them depends the possibility of re-

nights are always cool. In the warmest
night of the summer the thermometer
drops from ten to fourteen degrees lower in
Hendersonville than in New York, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, Atlanta or Memphis.
In winter, on the other hand, it is the
dry temperature that counts. A low night

our climate is always temperate in compari-

days bring no i'll effects in their train. Sun
strokes do not occur here; cyclones and tor

In winter, but they are of short duration

were: New York, So; Philadelphia, 81; Chi

Thus Hendersonville IS winter days are not
only much warmer than those of New York
ar Chicago, but are also not much colder
than those of Atlanta or Memphis.
The precipitation is abundant and well
distributed throughout the year. The an
nuaI total averages a little more than go

for the state as a whole. 1t is, however, by
no means excessive and could not be much
reduced without causing injury to the crops.

weather which is mild without being ener-
waiting; autumn weather which is the finest
tonic ever known this is a summary of
Hendersonville's climate. Proof of this is
obtainable not only from statistics but also
from experience. There are numbers OF
persons who have come here sick and re-
gained their health. Some of them have
gone back to their former homes to resume
their former occupations with renewed
strength and a grateful remembrance OF the
benefits derived here while others have de-
cided to stay with us and make this their
permanent home.
