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
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the austachian tube. When this
tube is inhamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless this tube be
restored TO its 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
faces. We will give one hundred dol
lars for any case of deafness (caused

In their behalf since the organiza-
ton of the government.
l assume that it is not probable

next December the bill will be studied
and discussed by farmers, bankers,
and it's significance and value will be
better understood and more fully ap-
preciated.
In my opinion the enactment of this
measure will, in its effect upon the
prosperity Of the country as whole,
and especially upon the advancement
and prosperity of agriculture, prove
to be the crowning achievement of
this administration, and failure to do
everything in the espower of the presi-
dent to secure it's enactment would
be a serious mistake.

in this line. Federal incorporation

OH! MY BACK!
The Expression of Many a Kidney


 Sufferer in Stafford Springs.
 A stubborn backache is cause to suspect kidney trouble. When the kidneys are infiamed and swollen, stopping brings sharp twinge in the small of the back, that almost takes the breath away. Doan's Kidney Pills revive sluggish kidneys-relieve aching backs. Here's Stafford Springs proof:
 Mrs. M. H. Converse, E. Main St. |, Stafford Springs, says: "For long time I suffered from backache and had about despaired of ever getting relief. To my surprise and delight, Doan's Kidney Pills acted effectively as soon as began taking them and soon made me feel like different person. Another of our family suffered for a long time from kidney trouble. This complaint caused loss of rest. Nothing brought relief until Deans Kidney Pills were procured at the Eaton Drug Store. The pain and lameness were removed and the other symptoms of kidney trouble left. y Price 500, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Converse had. Foster M ilburu Co., Props. Buffalo, N. Y.

Hamburg's Unique Ferry.

Hamburg possesses steam ferry or a somewhat original type, for the main deck can be raised and lowered by suit able machinery in order to take up Q difference of level of some sixteen feet. The large structural framework rises to considerable height and is intended to guide the whole platform in its yer tical movements. By the use of pow erful electric winches 1t is possible to raise and lower the deck as a whole, even when it is loaded with numerous heavy vehicles, such as are used in landing material at the port. The req son for adopting this arrangement of the deck lies in the fact that at the Hamburg port the difference in tide level is considerable, so that when the boat lands at the wharf 1t is by no means on the same level at all times and in the ordinary case the heavy vehicles would be obliged to mount or descend a steep incline. It is in order to avoid this drawback that the pres ent type of ferry was constructed, and as the movable deck can always be brought flush with the level of the dock. the vehicles can now run off in the ordinary way.

The eminent cross examiners of New York city have their favorite methods of knowing when a witness is telling the truth or lying. One lawyer says he can tell when a witness is lying by the movement of the lips. Another declares the hands form the best ba- rometer, and another declares the twitching of the muscles of the cheeks is sure sign that the witness has been trapped in a lie. Still another disciple of Blackstone says that facial expression always helps him, as well as watching the feet, which are usual ly shifted uneasily when the lie is ap- parent Then another declares that by keeping constant vigilance on the eyes of the witness he knows when he has his man going" If taken as com plete formula it would mean that a perjurer to escape detection would have to school his face to be impassive, keep his hands in his pockets, hook his feet in the rounds of the witness chair and shut his cyes.-Pittsburgll Dispatch.

there has been an estrangement be
tween people it is very seldom tina,
both are equally to blame. The most
selfish is the greater wrong doer and
is the one who owns the greater re
sponsibility to make amends. Often
the better of the two sides would be
ready to wipe out all scores if sure
that the effort to do so would be met
in it's proper spirit. The greatest
obstacle to the reconciliation of
enemies is the ungrateful attitude of
the greater offender who does not
want to be forgiven but to have his
offense justified, and as the Creator
Himself cannot forgive unless the
sinner admits his fault and desires
pardon, how can human beings be on
cordial terms with others who do not
want to be? The virtue of forgive
ness is not in forcing nature but in
elevating to the point of really desir-
ing that the offender acquire the no.
bility to admit his error. Virtue is
not in verbal theorizing against ones
grain. 1t is in practical doing and
the first practical step to take in seek
ing reconciliation with ones brother
is to pray for the brothers change Of
heart. C. H. X.

New York, June 25.-In this day of
revivals, it is not surprising that blous-
es again find favor. Summer suits fos-
ter their popularity. Indeed, the sepa-
rate waist and skirt may be as smart
as the one-piece frocl1, provided there
is silk coat to top the costume.
Paris takes special delight in turning
out new surprises in sheer waists.
There is no name in blousedom that
quite covers these transparent confec-
tions of the famous couturieres. Ling
erie is too frilly, and tailored is entire
ly out of the question for who would
ever call pintucked Swiss or organdy
by so harsh a name? They are origi-
nal in contour. Strange as it may seem,
coming from Paris, the source of true
color, they are white, pure white;
crispness, the chief charm of the gar.
ment, bespeaking loudly the mid-sum-
mer they are made for.
The mystic charm of the French
white wear is woven in every stitch of
these waists; style is secondary
thought.

Not only are the wide awning stripes
popular, but the narrow blazer and
candy stripes are featured, too, in
crepe de Chine and cotton crepes.
There is an especially attractive crepe
de Chine on the market with stain
stripes. This is made up mostly in the
plain tailored blouses with the two-in-

Pongees are also used in this type
of waist, as we'll as white, and baby

linens. One military blouse is shown
in pongee with strapped pocket low in
front. This waist has stock-collar of
black silk, with flaring points of white
organdy. 1t is a stunning model for a
pongee coat suit, especially when worn
with one of the new white kid belts
striped with black patent leather. The
roar of the cannon is echoed in other
waists of the. season. Rose and blue
linen are used to carry out the effect.
Either the waist is made of rose linen,
with the collar and cuffs faced with
