Ants Repairing Flood Losses.

Ants are very numerous in our Ohio
gravelly soil. To me they seem the
most hopeful agent for the restoration
of our farms swept bare by the recent
floods. Every day they bring up much
of the fine soil mingled with the gravel
and deposit it on top, The gravel in
evitably settles down. While some of
the gravel does slowly disintegrate, the
process as a surface-soil producer is
far slower than the action of the ants.
Perhaps in most soils the angleworm
is more beneficial than the ant, but
certainly not in the gravelly soils

SORE THROAT NEEDS CARE
At the First Feeling of Discomfort,
Well-known Effective Remedies
Should Be Employed.

An excellent illustration of the old
adage, familiarity breeds contempt, is
found in the tendency of most people
TO pay little or no attention to that
very common complaint, sore throat.
AS a matter of fact, neglect of a sore
throat Is aot only extremely unwise,
but may have fatal results. Director
Neff of the department of health and
charities, points out in his weekly bull
letin the dangerous consequences that
may and very often do follow such
neglect.
Among the deadly diseases of which
sore throat Is one Of the early symp-
toms are diphtheria. scarlet fever. and
septic sore throats" The mortality
from diphtheria has been greatly re-
cuced since the discovery of antitoxin,
but II the application is delayed the
likelihood of cure is materially re-
duced. Doctor Neff points out that
there has not been a single death at
the Philadelphia hospital for contag-
fous diseases where diphtheria anti
toxin was administered on the first day
of the disease, whereas the ratio of
mortality steadily increased as admin
istration was delayed, until 1t rose to
nine per cent. where the remedy was
not applied until the fifth day
A mere glance at the mortality stat
istics of diphtheria, scarlet fever and
septic sore throat shows the import
ance of swift precaution. The sound
advice of Doctor Neff is that every
person with a sore throat should have
it examined at once by a physician.
Such a simple precaution may stop in
time any one of these dread diseases
and may save your life or your child 5
life. 1t is also extremely important to
bear in mind that most sore threats
are contagious, wherefore contact
with those thus afflicted should be
avoided

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

Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that rapid eating
is slow suicide" If you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you are
most likely suffering from indigestion
or constipation, which will result
eventually in serious illness unless
corrected. Digestion begins in the
mouth. Food should be thoroughly
masticated and insalivated Then
when you have a fuilness of the stom-
ach or feel dull and stupid after eat
ing. take one of Chamberlain's Tab
let's. Many severe cases of stomach
trouble and constipation have been
cured by the use of these tablets. They
are easy to take and most agreeable
