Deafness Cannot be Cured

by legal applications, as they cannot
reach the dfseased1portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is iDfiamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, 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 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
surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

some sang classical songs, but Profes

another meadow and wooded hillside
hoping some coon had ventured from

For the first time in the history of
these foot ball team hunts the party
had to return without coons or pos
sums. Next year there will surely be
one coon freed for every touch down
made against West Point.

MOVABLE SCHOOLS FOR MARY
LAND NElGHBoRHooDS.

Plans are now being made by the

the Farmers Institute Department OF
the Maryland Agricultural College to
continue the work inaugurated last
year, Of holding Movable Schools OF
Neighborhood Short Courses in Agri
culture and Home Economics, in diff
ferent sections of the State during the
winter months.
These courses were a great success
last year They are not in the nature
OF an Institute, but supplement this
class Of instruction Short courses
viii be conducted for four days at any
given place. They are designed to fur
nish TO the farmers and farmers
wives, and particularly the young men
and women in the farm homes, an op
portunity to secure, through a series
of complete and regular lectures. and
practical demonstrations, information
in a given phase Of farming in which
the individual or community is
especially interested On account of
limited funds and men and women
available for the work only a small
number OF these Neighborhood Courses
can be conducted this year. Every eff
fort viii be made to make these prac.
teal and useful to the community. For
this reason courses can only be held
in those places where the people are
deeply interested. and are willing to
put time and energy behind them so
as to make them q success from every
standpoint
Local communities interested in
these Neighborhood Short Courses
should communicate with the Exten.
