Childhood "Upsets"

When a child has fever, is listless,
and complains of dull head or stom-
aeh ache, he should be put to bed and
even no food whatsoever. Physicians
recognize this as of first and utmost
Importance. 1t would seem as If OBJ
servant parents should, also, but ex-
Eaerience with parents of all classes
convinces me that few of even the
n,ust intelligent do.
,Tohn is feeling out of sorts. He is
grateful for a suggestion that he get
into bed, even though he makes feeble
protests because it boyhood prin-

john, under the circumstances, doesn't
need q club. He doesn't really care
for anything to eat. Once more, he is
only living up to the principles of boy
hood.
Mother Intelligence opens the win

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
iDfamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, 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 inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Strange Pig Tale.
Hartford Republican,

(Hartford Republican)
A strange tale of a wandering pig
was told to us yesterday by Mr.. George
Jones, of near Hartford. The pig in
question belongs to Hobart Baughn,
who lives a few miles above town
and on the other side of Rough river
II became dissatisfied with its location
last Thursday night and broke out of
its pen. wandered down to the river
and probably having heard of the great
country and riches on the other side
decided to set out and seek fortune
over here. He plunged into the icy
waters and began his long journey
Next heard of the wanderer he was a
prisoner on the farm of Mr.. Henry
Pirtle. People of that section are
wondering how the pig made the cross
ing, for it was necessary for him to
swim through fifty yards of back water
besides fighting Rough river with its
four-mile current. The pig is only
seven weeks old, and didn't weigh
over fifteen pounds. Can you beat it?
This little porker was raised by Mr.
William Lake. Route 5, which prob
ably accounts for its daring spirit.
