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 constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
1t is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition. hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

The semi-annual apportionment of
the one-mill school tax was made
last week by State Superintendent
Sheats. 1t gives so cents into the
county fund of the several counties
for each pupil, based on the actual
attendance of pupils at the schools.
But the figures are something that
ought to be explained by Supt. Sheats.
They don't look right, although they
may be. For instance, we will take
the counties of Leon and Orange.
These counties, based on the figures
of the last census, have about the
same population. Leon county's
population is 1924, more than three
fourths of which is colored. Orange
county's population is 19,107, of
which one-half is white. And yet
according to the figures given out by
Superintendent Sheats, Leon county
had an average school attendance of
5,0S2 on which it obtained S4,065.60;
while Orange county, according to
these figures, had an average atten-
dance of but 2,126, on which it gets
bat s1,7O0S0. 1t is just possible that
the Leon county man who compiled
its school statistics is more of an ex-
pert than the man from Orange.
This, or else them Leon county"nig-
gers" have acquired a sudden and
awful thirst for knowledge. The
white school population of Leon coun-
~ is 1910; that of Orange county is
1850. A grand jury investigation
would be eminently proper.

as Uncle Tobe.' who is so conserva-

is most difficult at times to get any.
thing definite from him. Uncle Tobe,
like the Father of His Country, has the
reputation of never having told lie,
and In addition he is SO cautious OF
statement that he has never been
known to tell an innocent untruth.
On one occasion his doctor, In con
versation with friends touching Uncle
Tobes characteristics, ventured to lay
bet Of five dollars that he could cause
Uncle Tobe to tell what wasn't SO. A
neighbor promptly took the bet.
The doctor walked into Uncle Tobe's
house next morning, and while he was
talking with the old man, the neighbo,
who had taken the bet drove up to the
gate. Uncle Tobe went to see what he
wanted, and then the doctor. as he hat
agreed to do. went out the back dooi
and hid In the barn.
