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 constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inf1amed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is indamed you can hear
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation 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

RECORD or PAGANs IGNORED
March of Events Brought Forth the
Christian Saint as the Per
sonaI Ideal.

The transition from pagan to medic
val thinking is marked by the intro
duction of Christian ideals and the
ascendancy of the organized church,
asserts a writer in the Engineering
Magazine. The Roman citizen, ami
mated by the sense Of human dig
nifty, had cultivated quick assertion
OF rights and quick resentment OF
wrongs. The Christian priest, humil-
lated by sense of sin, now sounded
the depths of seIf-sacrifice and bodily
modification. The hordes of barba-
rian invaders who exterminated the
martially inclined Romans ignored
the humble early Christian bishops,
and permitted them to possess them
selves of the administrative plan of
the fallen empire. and organize their
church upon 1t.
Learning also fell into the hands
OF the church. so that soon the story
of ancient virtue was real only in
monasteries where, viewed as the rec
ord of pagans, it fell coldly upon minds
filed with the doctrine of human
depravity. and cramped into barren
dialectic by the limits which religious
dogma imposed. And so, within the
precincts Of the church, in the her
mit's retreat and in protected monas-
teries and nunneries, the image of
the pagan hero faded into the back
ground and that of the Christian saint
was installed as the personal ideal.

raise more, when he can't market
the stun he has raised.
The fact was plainly set forth in
Mr.. Bassett's talk that the only sal
walton for the farmer is in organiz-
ed effort and cooperation, and cit
ing as examples of this fact the great
success of the northern apple and
peach growers AMI the fruit growers
of California All these people are
organized and therein lies the secret
of their wonderful success.
He told the farmers that il they
would get together in an organiza-
tion the government would be glad
to help them. That they must raise
more uniform crops to make it pay
and in order 10 fully supply the
markets to which they wished 10 ca
ter. and that when the stuff was
raised it must he turned over to some
one whose business it was to market
it, thus saving the time of the farmer
and putting the products in the best
possible market Mr. Bassett's al
dress was entertaining but filled with
good hard facts, and in closing he
urged the farmers to get together, to
go before the office of markets in a
body, and they would be heard as 1T
was their policy to help through the
medium of organizations such as the
Florida Vegetable Marketing Bureau.
Here MIR. Rooney introduced Mr..
L. S. Light, who gave short bit
excellent talk. Mr.. Light is some
times called .fOld Fax and Ffggers, :.
and in introducing him MIR. Rooney
referred to this.
MIR Light said that he had no Sig
gers with him but proceeded to
state some plain facts showing that
the farmer OF today is UP against
a serious proposition; unless there
can be a way devised whereby he can
market his products proftably.
Mr.. Light said the reason that the
farmers were poor was because they
like himself did not know where 10
ship their products, and shipped the
right bunch to the wrong place, and
that the only way to overcome this
was to have a man whose business
it was to keep posted on the markets
and put the farmer on the right track.
AT the close of Mr.. Light s remarks,
MIR Rooney introduced Prof. Vernon,
dean of the Agricultural College at
Gainesville, who gave an excellent
talk, urging that the farmers see
that their boys and girls learn some
ching besides books in their school
work, or better still that they have
the text books changed, putting ag-
ricultural instruction in the readers
and agricultural problems in the
ardr5hmetics.
The government lis now spending
rni.lfons of dollars to educate peo-
pie who should have been educated
years ago in the schools and now it
is up to the farmer of today as to
whether lit will he necessary for the
government to spend money to edu-
cate his children, in the future, or
whether they will be properly taught
economics and marketing now while
in school.
DIR. Weaver closed the program of
the day with a short address tell
ing what the FLORIDA Marketing Blu
reau has been doing and how nee
essary it is that all the farmers
should join in this movement in or
der to make the organization sue
cess The doctor closed his remarks
by urging that every one come to the
meeting at Oca1a on the 26th and
7th and join the organization and
help on with this work.
