Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they CANNOT
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure { eaf
ness, and that is by constitutions

inflamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is inflamed you have rumb-
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafnes
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its norma condition, hear

Buy
| at Home

| The Herald has always contended
and fought for the principle of ''home
buying" Time after time we have
published articles admonishing the citi-
zens of Yalobusha County and especial
ly citizens of Water Valley to patronize
their home merchants and Institutions
In the face of these pleadings on our
part many of our citizens and some
merchants have deliberately sent their
orders to Memphis and other foreign
cities, when local institutions could have
filled their orders and should have had
the orders.
Memphis is the trade center that
most of these thoughtless and unpatrio-
tic citizens send their orders and to
which city many hundreds of Water
Valley dollars are sent during the year.
Now the Memphis dealers will make
you believe that they greatly apprecia-
te your kindness in sending your dollars
to them, but do they really appreciate
it?
What do the Memphis businessmen
really think of any citizen of Water
Valley who sends his money to Mem
phis when local merchants can supply
his wants? Read the following editorial
taken from the News Scimitar on the
subject of Buying at Home" and see
for yourself what Memphis business
men think of Memphians who send their
money out Of town. What is sauce for
the goose is sauce for the gander-what
is good for Memphis is good for Water
Valley. Apply the following editorial
to yourself and your home town, Water
Valley, and listen to the good, sound
advice given in the article.

To Patrons of the Public Schools.
Several sets of supplemary books,
aggregating nearly 400 copies, have
been placed in the public schools for
the use Of the grade children. These
books cover the fields of literature, his
tory, geography, hygiene, morals and
manners, and nature study. They are
furnished through the training depart
ment of the Normal school without cost
TO the pupils or the school district.
These books may be checked out over
night for home reading. We only ask
that they be used with care and prompt
ly returned. The books have good, at
tractlve binding, the print is easy on
the chiidren's eyes, and the reading
matter Is interesting, wholesome and
helpful. Encourage the children in the
habit of reading good books.
In this connection I wish To call at
tention to the fact that many children
are istless IN school and are not doing
well. because of q lack of sleep. Too
many children are on the streets at
night. Young children habituaIly 90
to the picture theatre and remain
through the second show, often unac
companied by their parents or older
brothers or sisters. The managers of
the theatre have agreed to cooperate
In correcting this evil and we trust par
ents viii lend their aid.
Sincerely yours for the children,

on earth long time-a couple Of
thousand years, anyway. Out Of curl
osity, the ancient records were
searched to see just who 1t was that
invented artificial legs and hands, and
who the first man was that wore one.
No one seems to know. In tomb in
Padua remains were found OF a man
supposed to have lived about 300 B. C..
He wore an artificial leg. No wonder
he died. 1t was made Of wood, partly,
and mostly of bronze. The whole sur
face was covered with the metal, and
around the poor souls waist was a
wide band of metal to support all
those pounds of junk he logged
around.
There have been lots of artificial
hands and legs and false ears and
noses and teeth and palates found in
all the ancient burying places of Eu-
rope and northern Africa. They were
hardly such contrivances, though, as

POPULARITY OF
BASE BAIL

Base ball has grown to gigantic proper
tions within the last decade and the scien-
tific work of the, teams has been the delight
of millions of spectators. There are 80
many things to admire in the game that it
is impossible to describe them. Outdoor
exercise is one of Natures best aids in pro-
noting health and strength and keeping the
blood rich and pure; but, perhaps you are
one Of the many who are denied that privi-
lege. You lead sedentary life which al
ways has tendency to make the liver lazy,
the bowels clogged and digestion poor.
Oftentimes you are nervous, sleepless, have
no appetite and feel run down.
Under these conditions you will greatly
appreciate the assistance to be derived from
trial of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It
helps Nature by toning and Strengthening
the Stomach, Liver and Bowels, and with
these organs in normal condition your
system is well fortified against an attack of
Sick Headache, Heartburn, Indigestion,
Cramps, Constipation, Bliousness or Ma
laria, Fever or Ague.
Always take good care of your health
and you will be well repaid, while care
lessness only brings suffering and distress.
Let Hostetter's Stomach Bitters help you
to maintain your health.

OLDEST PIECE OF WRITING
Sumerlan Tablet In University Of
Pennsylvania Records Deeds Of
- Babylonians.

A number Of ancient Sumerian tab
let's, recording the deeds of the Baby
lonians thousands of years ago, have
been decipered by George A. Barton
at the University of Pennsylvania mu-
scum. One of these tablets, which
tells how a farmer rid his field of To-
Gusts and caterpillars, is dated 1000
B. c. and is the Oldest piece of writ
ing eXtant, according to an announce
ment made by officials Of the museum.
The farmer, Doctor Barton's transla-
ton says, called in necromancer,
who broke jar, cut open sacrifice,
a word Of cursing he repeated, and the
locusts and caterpillars fed" For this
service he received tall palm tree.
That canal was constructed in
Babylonia nearly 5000 years ago ID
shown by another tablet dated "Thd
year the Divine Naram-Sin opened the
mouth Of the canal Erin at Nippur."
Naram-Sin was a king in BabylonIa
and is supposed to have financed the
construction Of the waterway which
gave Nippur transportation facilities
with the rest of the world A third
tablet, dated 5000 B. c., records the
transfer of land and a quantity OF
grain for bronze money. Gold and sill.
yer were known at that time, but were
not used as currency.

SMILE At ILL LUCK.
Men With "Peg" Legs Seldom
Embittered.
Know Each Other Facetlously as
"knlshts Of the WiIlow"-No Such
Thing as an Actual Leg
of Cork.

Growing facetious about wooden
leg is something few persons can af.
ford to do. A man with an artificial
foot, however, may take the step with
impunity. And the oldest part of 1t
is almost every man you meet with a
peg" takes his misfortune with the
greatest good humor-we're all men,
bers of the knights of the Willow"
among ourselves.
Only a few days ago down in the
factory where l had my willow peg"
made, near Eighth on Main, the phone
rang, while sat talking to the boss.
"Yes?" queried the proprietor "The
what?" he asked wonderingly. us this
the Timber Navigation company"
And then he recognized the voice
coming over the wire and he laughed.
"It's the headquarters for knights Of
the Willow, anyway" he replied.
Another wretched individual limped
into the place one day while sat
watching the repair man fasten new
piece of buckskin strap to his side
wheeler" He was as disconsolate a
man as ever visited an artificial limb
manufacturing plant.
Can you show me a cork leg?" he
inquired
q cannot" replied the boss. 81 never
saw such an article in my experience
of artificial limb making. There is no
such thing made as a cork leg. But
we have the regular English willow
limbs for one or two hands or for
either or both feet. Where the public
ever got the notion such flimsy mate
rial as cork could be used in leg
that must be made to stand several
thousand pounds of pressure | don't
know 1t couldn't be done"
There are funny little sides to wear
ing artificial legs, too. Lots of times
! have had fellows accidentally kick
my shin on crowded street cars or in
similar places. The resounding whack
of boot sole against the willow gives
me many an inward smile at the look
of establishment that passes over their
faces. A few nights ago a pal of
mine, with an artificial arm. was
standing near the cashiers desk in a
restaurant near Grand avenue. A vi
vacious young woman was switching
around nervously, when she banged
against his gloved hand. She must
have shocked her "crazy' bone rudely.
I had to turn away to keep from laugh
ing In her face. My pal scarcely knew
she had struck his willow" but she
knew 1t and thought his Indifference
was assumed. She really believed, I
think, that he had a baseball bat
tucked away under his clothes some
where, She glared fiercely at him and
at the gloved hand hanging innocently
at his side.
But people ought to be accustomed
to them by this time They have been
