There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is used by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inAamed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and tn tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infam med condition of the mucous sur
faces.

A Tragedy Of Christmas Shopping
rsy Alice croweH Hoffman,

Amid all the Joys OF Christmas
tme there is streak OF tragedy in
which poverty does not play the lead
ing part It Is found in families OF
Eevery shade OF means. A mistaken
idea as to the treatment Of children
1T the season when they should be
the subject of greatest consideration
causes the aching of many little
hearts all because older follcs do
not enter into the spirit Of childhood.
Toyshop proprietors spend thousands
| OF dollars and untold energy making
their displays as attractive as possible
for children and grownups. No child
can have everything that is displayed,
but every child has the right to enjoy
mtrammeled the delight OF looking
upon the wonders OF toyland.
In toyshop a little boy stopped
for moment to look more closely at
some mechanical toys. He was
simply exercising the child instinct
OF seeing how 1t works. He was re-
spending normally to the challenge OF
the wonderland about him, but In
spite OF all this woman yanked
MN and almost Kissed. why don't
you come along and behave your
self?" The lad started as IL rudely
awakened from q dream and dumbly
followed.
In another part of toyland a little
sirl fingered behind her mother to
zee beautiful toy cow, which moved
is head and said moo" She was
matched away and carried out Of the
sore. stop crying or I'll never
ring you to see the toys again"
sere the mothers comforting words.
Fobably no one hut the child herself
nalized fully the import of the tragic
Teat. She had been torn rudely
way from the thing she most adored
"a her only hope Of seeing 1t again
ny In stopping her cries, a feat she
seemed Incapable Of performing. Later
little hand was raised to pat wool

Ing made to raise the standard Of

ceived. Clark county is especially
adapted to the dairy business. The
further fact that the Missouri Mix

the famous "Kaholka" condensed milk,
is located here, and furnishes a mark

dacement for the farmers to engage

won't bring you a thingl" Il was an
abomfnable lie. but for tho time being
it answered the purpose. The child
walked along a. eedately as the
pr1mest of mothers could wish. The
threat was forgotten in the presence
OF . wonderful wax doll which held
out its arms In. welcome. There, I
told you not to touch the toys! You
didn't listen and Santa won't bring
you a thing!" It was only natural
that the child's face should cloud and
tears start at such threat She had
been waiting for Santa for a whole
year OF long, long days and now he
was about to cut her off OF his visit
ing list because she tried to touch q
dolly's hands.
In each instance the mother was at
fault and was nothing less than cruel
to her chfld. In each case there was
scene" and the group was a center
OF more or less attention, the very
thing the mother desired to avoid.
The children were mtstreated, first,
because they slightly inconveniekced
the mothers, and then because they
did not display Just the shade OF
manners" in public that was de-
sired, an idea which is really an
! aboinination. Tho chances are the
children never had the opportunity
to learn these proper manners" at
home from the example Of their ED
ers.
Had these mothers been more pa
tient, had they enjoyed condolences
with their children and entered into
the enjoyment Of the wonders by an
enthusiastic agreement with the
childish admiration, the little ones
would have been made happy, they
would have been ready to pass on
without whimper and they would
not have been meddlesome. Tactful
direction Of attention to one thing
and another as they passed along and
few simple explanations Of how this
or that toy worked" would have kept
the children Interested, the mothers
would have been saved a case Of
nerves" and the little ones would
have left the toyshop happy and sat
isfied.
The overworked clerks and tired
saleswomen have their champions all
over the land. Public opinion will
bring them redress through the chan
nels of the law, but the real tragedy
of Christmas shopping will be enact
ed over and over again unless all who
have little ones in their charge draw
heavily on their patience and SYM
pathetic understanding.

OBITUARY.

Miss Ruth Englebert, who died yes
terday of meningitis, had just passed
her 10th birthday. She was a child
who loved and was loved by every one
she knew and especially was she loved
by her aged grandmother, Mrs. Lu-
cretta Turner. Every day she watched
over her and looked after her and took
such sweet care of her and never fail
ed to put her arms around her, kiss
her whenever she left her. In her home
she was a child who never forgot to
show her love to every member of the
family.
The entire neighborhood is in gloom
and sorrow because of her untimely
death, especially because of the nature
of her trouble as it necessitates a
strictly private funeral and her friends
and relatives will not be permitted to
do other than meet in the yard Thurs
day at p. m. and hold services there
Rev. Trester of the Trinity Lutheran
church will have charge. Friends may
call any time and see Ruth through
the front window.
