commercial value. Few people would be-

men by the worst that have been among

Farm Ideas in Rural Pictures

Arrangements have been completed
for series of farmers institute trains
to be run jointly by the Maryland agri-
cultural College and the Chesapeake
Beach Railroad and the Baltimore and
OHIO Railroad. The first train will be
over the Chesapeake Beach Railro ad
on Friday, stopping at CLANCY, Fisher
and Owings stations, during the day,
aud in the hall at Owings at night. At
these meetings illustrated lectures will
be given by practical farmers.
Last season at the regular institutes
most of the lectures were illustrated.
This was an innovation in this class of
work and this year will be continued;
many other states will adopt the illus
trated lectures at farmers Institutes,
thus following the lead of Maryland
The season of 1912 and 1913 was the
most successful in the history of this
work. There were held 156 regular
sessions, and six days train work
with a total attendance of 24.9l8 per-
sons, and from applications now made
to Director Richard S. Hill for insti
tutes tuis season, this record will be ex

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 constitut onal re-
medies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed cond ion of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed. 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.

Once A Fast, Not A Feast

Turkey did not figure in the orlglna
Thanksgiving feast, but it became
feature of that historic meal so long
ago that the reason is lost in oblivion.
On the original Thanksgiving day the
pilgrim fathers tasted and gave verbal
thanks that they had been saved from
the perils of the sea and permitted to
find home in the new land. Giving
up every sort of occupation and spend
ing the time in Bible reading and IN
prayer, the colonists regarded it as an
annual occasion of much solemnity.
1t was not until thirteen years after
the settling of Massachusetts that
Thanksgiving day received official cog
nizance, although it was generally OBJ
served by churchgoing and-after
few years of stern fasting-a better
dinner than was served on week days.
Thus by degrees the feature OF the
great day became the dinner that ac-
companied it.
