A Fine Performance.

A really delightful entertainment was
given in the firemen's hall Tuesday night
by the Chatham Concert Company. The
four accomplished artists who compose
the company pleased the audience greatly,
and there wasn'ta dull moment in the
programme. Miss Myretta Chatham, the
reader, was charming-indeed, we think
we have never heard in ShepherdStown
anyone more clever than she. Her
selections were good and her rendition
was inimitable. The violinist, Miss
Rynders, played beautifully, rendering
the selections of the best composers in
spirited style. Miss Aussiker, the sopra-
no, has voice Of pleasing quality and
power, and sang most acceptably.
Mr.. Anthony Metzger is a brilliant
pianist-every number that he played was
genuinely good and his talent is manifest
The audience was so we'll pleased that
almost every number on the programme
was encored.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way TO cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an iniamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this lube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be reduced
and this tube restored TO its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases OF deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an inflamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces. Halls Catanh
Medicine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces OF the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

The FOLLOWING poem clipped from The Chicago Ex-

ed truths that are disgraceul Democratic Government
and believe a campaignincessant and unceasng should
be waged for the better of babies for better training
of father and mother and for general upft of family
production Now of course the fight is on, but NOT of
necessary backing by all the people 1t campaign
of education larger than anything along popular euca
tive lines ever attempted and forever and forever
sticking it for results why the government does
try help mothers and children is beyond reach
Looking it from every viewpoint it seems to be of
the FIRST attribute of good government for upon the
coming manhood and womanhood builded the perpetual
tion of the grandes Democracy conceived by tie
mind of man. But seishness the thought that MUST
live now for ourselves and let pOstery 60 geeWhNens
and other lazy ideals 60 to make the machinery of
government inactive unreSponsive and dsgusedy ,ut
of order Still believe that the brains of the people
who want better babies grow up will finally put forth
great educational victories for the rearing of chdrelle
time has long since come when children should be rea
and truly reared and not merely RAISED on film
bad environment superstition crazy notions and
unknown ways of diet clothing, example and education
So The Hummer happily joins in with this movement and
we humby offer the pages of the paper further the
Cody cause of BETTER BABIES. Now read the poem
When COWS fall ill., the government proceeds to take alarm
And sends a Veterinarian to sanitate the farm
The COW herself put bed and piled with drugs andps
And Uncle Sam forward, when she's cured to pay
the bills
But when baby falls in need of medicine and care,
The government contend that that is of its affair
When pigs and lambs threatened with deadly pest
ence,
Their tender lives are guided at the governments
expense
They're cOdded nursed and deted until they well and
fat
And never reckon of the cost for Uncle Sam pays that
But when an epidemic marks the babies for its own,
The government unroubed lets them fight it out alone
Some day perhaps when all the pork has avshly been
passed,
When every scrap of patronage is handed at last
when all noble Congressman have got all they de
sire,
And have attained whatever heights which they may
aspire
Then to unknown heights of COMMON SENSE the govern
ment will leap,

There is little doubt that home
