Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance OF
health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the
lease imprudence brings on sickness,
weakness, or debility. The system
neecs a tonic, Graves it, and should not
be denied it; and the best tonic OF
which we have any knowledge is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this medi-
cine has done in keeping healthy peo-
pie healthy, in keeping up the even
balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as a preventive that it en-
ioys as a cure. It's early use has IL
Illustrated the wisdom of the old saying
that a stitch in time saves nine. Take
Hoods for appetite, strength, and en-
durance.-Adv.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
6ition of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube When this tube is inf1amed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
ases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

SMALL WARS MEAN BIG POEMS

giles Like the Present One.

The greatest poems have been writ.
ten about little wars. The Had was
written around a siege carried on by
a handful of barbarian chieftains
against q city of the second class. The
battle OF Chevy Chase was a border
skrmish following upon q ca~ttie-steai
ing expedition. And Kipiing's imperial
muse Is at her best when she sings
Of petty wars with eolored tribesmen,
Britain's tar-flung battle line was far
flung against Dervishers and Afridis;

with field intrenchments and siege ar
hllery. Little war. or else big vars
In anticipation OF retrospect, these are
the rich soil for the poet.
A great war in the actual. the fate
of an empire truly at stake, may make
poets out of the common crowd, but
suhdues the poet to the level of the
common crowd. There is a solemn tone
about Kipling's latest verse which has
its effect. Only 1t is not exhortation
we wanted, but exultation; not an APP
peal, but a clarion call. When an en-
tire nation Is aflame the poet Is apt TO
find his mission rather perfunctory.
