Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness. and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is inflam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when It is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by
|Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case Of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure Send for
circulars, free.

DO YOU SUFFER - !.
y FROM BACKACHE2 2

When your kidneys are weak and
torpid they do not properly perform
their functions; your back aches
and you do not feel like doing much
of anything. You are likely to be
despondent and to borrow trouble,
lust as if you hadn't enough al
ready. Don't be victim any longer.
The old reliable medicine. Hood 8
Sarsaparilla, gives strength and
tone to the kidneys and builds up
the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is a peculiar
combination Of roots, barks and
fierbs. No other medicine acts like
it, because no other medicine has the
same formula or ingredients. Accept
no substitute, but insist on having
Hoods, and get it today.

the end was near.-Herington Times.

Larned treats the life of mankind for seventy
tures like a great drama. He divides it into six
well-defined acts epochs, the chapters being
the Before the curtain rises on each act,
the reader behods the chief actors in a prologue
in which appear the mighty characters whose
deeds and words have made or marred the des-
TIMES of nations. Their biographies are fascina-
ti1gly sketched by Larned; in the light of whose
luminous intellect the reader beholds them in
their true relation to world history. In his treat
ment of the events and happenings of history,
they assume logical relation and the general
plan and progress of civilization is made appar-
ent to the reader.

GIVE BOAR GOOD ATTENTION
AS He Natures, Litters Will Be Strong.
er and Larger-Keep Him Sep
arated From the SoWs.

1t is not best to let the boar run
with the rest of the herd. 1t is too
common a practice to sell the boar
when the season is over. This is
largely the cause of so many small
litters and weakboned pigs. 1t is best
to get good boar, and keep him for
a few years, and as he natures his
pigs will be stronger and htters larger.
Have small yard of grass if posi-
BILE, hog-tight and away from the sows,
so he will not be worried. A quarter
Of an acre will afford plenty of exer-
else in the open air. When grass is
not available, give him cut clover or
any other good green feed that he will
eat.
Feed sparingly of fattening feeds,
but give him feed that will keep him
growing if he is not fully developed.
Mill stuff, skim milk, clover, alfalfa
or anything that furnishes protein is
advisable. At all times keep a supply
of ashes, salt and charcoal where he
can obtain it at will. 1t will do much
toward keeping him in good health.

adjustments.
The bridge serves as we'll to close
up the rear end in confning an ami.
NAL and by inserting in varied slots
readily admits the use Of different
sizes of animals in breeding. The
false floor which hangs upon hooks
over the Stats makes a support for
small animals in the crate and also
is used as top in shipping. Hook
and eye devices hold the top and rear
bridges together in transportation.

RAISE RAPE FOR PAsTURAGE
Splendid Feed for Sheep and Hogs
Good Use Can Be Made of the
Temporary Fences.

Rape is splendid feed for sheep
and hogs as we'll. 1t is usually pas.
tured, but when the acreage is small
and one wishes to get the most from
the crop, it is cut and fed to the
stock and then when it grows up
again, is pastured.
Rape is generally broadcasted in the
early spring on we'll prepared ground
at the rate of five pounds Of seed per
inches high turn the sheep into the
field. Most pasturage can be oh.
tanned if temporary fences are used
to allow only a part of the field to
be pastured at time.

Many night they lay in the trenches
or marched weary miles in each others
company. One night-my father tells
the story with loving remembrance
your soldier boy did picket duty. 1t
was cold and wet. Next day the march
was hard one, through the mud OF
country road. My father was not
well. When after plodding wearlly
for many miles halt was called, and
camp made, he was assigned to picket
duty. He was very tired, too tired TO
keep awake, and so your boy volun-
teered to serve in his stead. Your boy
had served the night before. He had
marched as far as my father, but ne
accepted the duty to spare his friend.
Can you not see him as he trudges
painfully back and forth on his post?'
There was another night" - the
governors voice was quiet now and
all was very still-"a small detach-
ment of the Fifth was surprised by the
enemy. In the skirmish that followed,
my father was shot"
Reuben's mouth had fallen open.
II knot; wasn't l there to see? But
he was killed." he murmured.
His chum," continued the COVER
nor, seeing his comrade fall, dashed
in amid a rain of bullets thick as hair,
and dragged the senseless body to
place of safety, then disappeared"
"Grays ketched me-" muttered Reu-
ben.
when my father recovered con-
sciousness he was in field hospital OF
the Christian Commission. There he
learned of his friends part in that
night attack. Search was made; but
all effort to find that friend proved un-
availing, and he was given up for dead.
When my father recovered, minus his
right arm, he received an honorable
discharge, and returned home. Later
he left his home and went to Yer
mont. learned today that his old
comrade is still alive. I have listened
with interest to the glowing tribute
your speaker has paid to the volun-
teers of this village. But he has been
too modest. Some Of the bravest
deeds he has left unrecorded. So
take pleasure in giving my inadequate
testimony to the bravery and kindness
of your neighbor and my fathers COM
rade, Reuben Henshaw."
There was not sound to be heard
as the governor turned and clasped
Reuben's hands in both his own. The
old mans eyes were full of tears, and
his voice trembling as he asked eag-
erly, "Is Tom alive? is Tom alive?"
"Yes," returned the governor, mot
only alive, but here. He came with me
today because it was to your town
was coming"
The crowd had been quiet long
enough and now broke into tumultuous
applause.
Down through the aisle another old
man was coming, gray, bent, his right
sleeve hanging empty. Making his
way through the curious applauding
throng he reached the platform, while
the governor, still holding Reuben's
hand, stepped forward to meet him.
the two old comrades clasped hands
with cry of "Reuben!" TONI" Then
their trembling voices failed and their
eyes overflowed.
Samantha laid a timid hand on that
of her neighbor.
I'm afraid father can't stand it,"
she said anxiously. Il must go and get
him."
Shouldering her way to the plat
form, she caught Reuben. coat Come,
father" she said. "You and Mr. Duf-
field come outside with me. I'm 'fraid
you can't stand it" And so, led by
Samantha, they passed out into the
sunlight.
