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 intlamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an infiamed 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 Catarrh Cure.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Encouraged by Practical Training in
the Public Schools.

mo movement for public welfare
in Arkansas is of greater significance
than the diversified farming cam
B. Cook. "This movement was launch
ed November 10, 1914. under the mas
terly leadership of Prof. 2. G. Hold
en-.
During the whirlwind campaign
1924 meetings were held in 40 coun-
ties of Arkansas. SiXty-one speakers
addressed 10000 farmers and 1862 900
pamphlets were distributed. Nearly
thirty thousand miles had been trav-
eled by railroads and highways on
December IL, when the first phase Of
the campaign closed. Since that time
this great educational work for better
rural conditions and greater profits
to the farmers has been carried on
by "follow-up committee"
"Tbe watch words of this campaign
are we Must Feed Ourselves and
Every Farm Is a Factory
"The state department Of public in
struction, cooperating with this COM
mittee, has placed in the hands OF
every school teacher in the state a
copy of the handbook, Let Arkansas
Feed Herself This book is being
used this month in the teachers in
stitutes for the work in agriculture,
and the teachers are urged to make
it's contents a large part of the school
work on this subject. This book is III
accord with all the work OF the di-
versified farming committee. 1t is
thoroughly practical and is aiding
materially in teaching the important
lessons of self-reliancc and develop
ment of existing opportunities by in
divdual effort"

 Petrosrad, October :.-(via London, October 3.)-sersius Ss4onoff. Russian minister of foreign affairs, declared to the Associated Press correspondent ,o- day that if the PulEaFinns ''persist in their present traitorous course they must answer to Ruxsia.''
 E 'An uifiAsatum kas not 5been pre- scented yet" added the mtbi~ter, "but I presume one will he within short tlme..
 As a preface to this statsment. M. Sazonoff said:
 The situation in the Balkanssis very grave The whole Russian nation is aroused by the unthinl<able treachery of Ferdinand and his government to the Slavic cause, Bulgaria owes her independence to Russia and yet seems willing now to become vassal of Rus sia's enemies. In her attitude toward Servia, when Servia is fighting for her very existence, Bulgaria puts herself in class with Turkey. We do not be- lieve that the Bulgarian people sym pathize with the action of their ruler. Therefore the allies are disposed to give them time for reflection.
 If they persist in their present
