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 infiamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining Of the Eusta.
chan Tube. When this tube Is inftamed
you have a r,lmbling sound or imp ,rfect
hearing, and when It Is entirely closed,
Deafness is theSresult, and unless the In
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to Its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which IS nothing but an infiamed condt-
ton Of the mucous surfaces.
we will give Ono Hundred Iollars for any case Of
Deafness (cnusei by catn rrl c1nnot be cured ~

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
LFrom the Chicago News. 7

IFrom the Chicago News.1
Push and pull are a hard pair to
beat.
1t isn't a secret if a woman hesitates
in the telling of it.
Even a man may be emotional-if
he isn't married.
Some grown folks are harder to
amuse than some babies
Even a coat of arms doesn't ALWAYS
hide the family skeleton
Occasionally a woman plays a prac-
teal joke on a man by marrying him.
Credit is all well. enough until the
bill collector begins to come round.
Blessed are the meek, for they are
never expected to rise to the occasion.
Fewer flowers to the dead and more
flour to the needy living might help
some.
But when a woman drives her hus-
band to drink he doesn't stop at a
water trough
1t requires long years of practice to
enable man to fall in love and light
on his feet.
1t is no pleasure for a man to do as
he pleaseS until after he gets married
and then he can't.
A man argues with woman not
because it does any particular good,
but because of the pleasure it affords
her.
Somehow a woman dislikes to hear
her husband talk shop almost as much
as a man dislikes to hear his wife talk
shopping.
Probably the worst thing about rich
relations is the way they look down
on you because you are not rich
enough to look down on them

PROMISES AND PERFORMANCES

In every human activity, perform
ances seldom approximate the prom
ises of what they will be, no matter
how sincere the latter are. But in
no field is this frailty more pro-
nounced than in the one where the
politicians roam and wax fat at the
expense of the constituents for the
welfare of whom they express such
solicitous regard before they get into
the public offices. The new admin
it was emphatic in it's promises to de-
capitate the useless and unnecessary
state boards and commissions, and
thereby reduce materially the num-
Der of state officers whose salaries help
to add to the tax burdens. But the re-
Gently deceased legislature created no
less than 16 new offices as against
three it put out of business, making
a net gain of Is new jobs. However,
this is an old. old story. the -devel-
opment of which is by no means eX-
elusive with the present regime in
Kansas. Other Kansas administra
lions have done likewise. And the
practice of late years has been more
or less common in all other states.
So, too, in federal affairs. And the
Democrats in control these days at
Washington have been guilty of it to
an exceedingly aggravated extent.

INTERESTING, But USELESS.

Time must hang heavy on the
hands of one of the high salaried
mathematicians in the employ of the
United States geological survey. At
any rate the recent bulletins from this
governmental department have pre-
scented some rather unusual facts that
could only have been determined after
an elaborate amount of calculation.
These bulletins have recently told that
if all the waters in the oceans were
spread over the land of this globe,
they would cover it to an astounding
depth So would the quantity of salt
in the oceans, it was also pointed out.
Later bulletins have stated that if all
