Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
andthat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an lnfiamed con,
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound of
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is theresult, and.
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nihe cases out of ten are caus.
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an

Gov Rye vetoed the Bowers BIZ
abolishing capital punishment for two
reasons. one because 1t infringed the
constitution by removing the pardon
ing power from the governor, and Sec
ond because he apprehended increase
Of crime because of the death penalty
being removed. The first reason was
very trivial. and puts us up against
that same old constitution which has
wrecked many contemplated advances
toward better things. and for his sec
ond reason, the Governor claims that
the death penalty is rarely inflicted.
He spoiled his argument right there,

TIMES IN ERROR.

The Chattanooga Times report of the
meeting at Jasper Saturday was rather
misleading. The Times says the con-
vention was packed" by the oppo-
sition to the $3.50, 600 bond issue.
This was not so. The farmers were
there of their own free accord aud not
because of any proffered automobile
ride. A farmer here is reported to
have offered to transportan entire shop
Of men If it would shut down so as to
vote against the exorbitant bond issue.
II did not shut down, running full
handed all day. That doesn't look
much like ''packing" the convention.
The Times also says nothing was done.
The minority report was endorsed or
accepted, or whatever you choose to
call it. and an excellent division Of
money made for the roads.
The Times had evidently been mis-
informed by the party who gave it
the alleged information regarding the
meeting. The Jasper correspondent OF
the Times corrected the report Tues
day morning, as follows:
'.The committee on resolutions sub
mitted majority and minority re-
port. The majority report was sub
mitted by W. e Cameron, of South
Pittsburg, and was in substance that
the county issue bonds to per cent
of its tax valuation and more, If nee
essary, and requesting our representa-
tive to pass an act enabling the coun-
ty court to authorize an issuance of
these bonds The minority submitted
their report through s. a Alexander,
Of Jasper. which was, in effect. that
the county raise $40. 900 either by bond
issue or by direct taxation. part of
which to be used on roads in all parts
of the county. and part to be used
in connecting up this county with the
"Dixie Highway A vote was taken
on these reports and the majority re-
port was rejected. and the minority
report passed by a vote of about five
to one
"The convention was no packed but
on the other hand the meeting had
been advertised by hand bills gotten
out by those who favored heavy
bond issue, and were scattered broad
cast over the county.
''It will be seen, from this report,
that the item in today's Times. stat
ing that no action had been taken in
this matter was an error, and that
definite action was taken by this mass
convention Of citizens
The Times should show little good
management an not allow such erron-
eous reports to creep into its columns
over the telephone, when a vertical
tion would show the informer to be in
error. Those who opposed heavy
bond issue are rather sensitive over
being charged with packing the con-
vention, as it was understood their OPP
ponen Is were Offering free auto rides
to those who would go and align them
selves for big bond issue. In fact
the minority felt themselves largely
in the minority, and expected defeat.

HOW JAMIE FOUND A HOME.

Jamie was a little boy eight years
old, but he felt the weight of years
upon his shoulders as he looked at
little Alice sleeping and saw a tear
still wet upon her little thin cheek.
She had cried herself to sleep from
hunger, and Jamie felt that something
must be done at once. His mother
had been dead four weeks now. At
first his father kept sober and worked,
and they managed to get along very
we'll. Jamie took care Of Alice and
the house, but n night his father
did not come home, and then Jamie
was told that the Judge had sent him
away for six months. The fuel was
nearly gone and the food had given
out the day before. jamie had not
eaten anything but crusts of bread
for two days. He had managed to
get milk for Alice until today, but the
last of the money he had received for
a locket Of his mothers was gone
now.
Il shall have to sell her ring" said
jamie, taking 1t from a corner of a
drawer, land she told me to keep 1t
for Alice and tell her when she was
old enough that she left it for her,
Mansfield mirror. (Mansfield, Wright County, Mo.) 1908-1957, 1915-10-28

Jamie asked again. But hitce had
heard his voice. "Brover, brewer"
she called, running as fast as her
little legs would carry her.
Jamie dropped his bundle and took
her In his arms, the tears streaming
down his cheeks, while Alice covered
his face with kisses.
The maid wiped her eyes, and the
lady told Jamie TO sit down and tell
her why he had left Alice on her
steps. jamie told her that his mother
was dead and that the Judge had sent
his father away; that he had tried to
take care Of Alice, but he was too
small to get work that would support
both OF them. He wanted Alice to
have a good home. and he thought as
they were rich they. might want a
little girl. and so be brought her there.
The lady was crying when Jamie fin
ished his story.
We do want a little girl" she said.
we have lost our little girl and
our little boy, too, and We are very
lonely. You and Alice must stay here
until your father returns and then
we will see what car be DONE"
And SO Jamie found a home for him
self as well as Alice. for when their
father came home he was soon sent
away again by the Judge, who also de-
cided that their father was not the
sort OF a man to have the are of
two such good children as Jamie and
Alice.

SHEEP DURING WARM SEASON
to Water Supply-Place the Flock
Near a Running Stream.

Particular attention should be Civ.
en- the sheep in warm weather rela-
tive to their supply of water. You
know, many old fogy farmers still
contend that sheep can get all the
water they require from the dewE.
This is certainly a mistaken idea, and
one that is absolutely cruel, for sheer,
need water as much as any Of the
other farm animals, though they Go
not drink as much as some others.
] suppose it is a fact that sheep can
subsist on the dews as their means
of water, but they never do 50 we'll
as those that have all they a drink,
says a writer in Farm Progress.
When an animal is forced to live en-
less than the normal water supply, it
is sure to be very uncomfortable. To
do well and put IN flesh, they should
have a running stream Of water where
they can reach it.
Many sheep raisers have a tendency
to let the sheep take care Of them
selves, after shearing time has passed,
and there are SO many other farm
duties demanding attention. Where
there are young lambs, they should be
we'll cared for in order to make the
best growth possible before market
ing in the fall. They are hard to get
in shape to sell when they have been
forced to look out for themselves.
If one happens to have a running
stream Of water in the sheep pasture.
he may consider himself fortunate. A
pond is next best, and often one is
obliged to put up a few rods of fenc.
ing to inclose a pond, spring, or part
Of a creek.

TEACH COLTS FAST WALKING
mails Full Of Spirit That Want to
Get Along Rapidly.

A slow moving colt can be taught
to walk fast by hitching it beside q
fast walker and urging it to keep up,
although 1t requires good handling to
obtain full success with this method.
The best results are secured with
animals full Of spirit that want to
move rapidly. At the same time a
young horse that is full Of spirit, If it
is allowed to work too hard, will be-
come too tired, lose its ambition and
develop into a slow walker. The best
training is to s the young stock at
such light work that they a move

ting them have only enough OF it so
that they will get into the habit of
moving rapidly and keep up the trait

SoWs NEED GOOD ATTENTION
Neglect at narrowing Time viii Eat
Up All Profits Made in Year
Feed Is Important Problem.
fBy H. M.

(By II. M. COTTRELL)
Give the SOW all the water she
wants for the first "a hours after the
pigs are born, but no grain. Take the
chill off the water In cold weather.
For three Or four days after the first
"a hours. give plenty Of water, but
feed grain and milk sparingly. Then
slowly increase until, when the pigs
are three weeks old, the SOW is having
all the feed she will consume. Give
the pigs exercise and sunshine from
birth, but do not allow them to get
damp nor to be exposed to the wind.
When the SOW is given a warm, rich
slop, or other milk-producing feeds
just after her pigs are born, a strong
milk flow is forced. The newborn
pigs get too much and have diarrhea,
which often kills them. They cannot
take all the milk, and the sow's udder
becomes inflamed and caked. When
the pigs suckle the pain becomes 81
intense that in desperation she jumps
up, kills and eats them.
The profits for a whole year can be
thrown away in a few hours by a little
neglect at narrowing time. An inves-
tigation in one of the chief hog-pro-
ducing sections showed that the farm,
