Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

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 catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result. Unless the intlam-
nation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by ca
tarrh, which is an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Cure acts through the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Catarrhal Deafness

tarrh Cure. Circulars free. All Drug

the depredating grounds for this dread

Moves along lines like this that
are so essential to the welfare of the
stock growers and every individual
citizen are to be commended in the
strongest terms it's possible to use,
and for the information of this live
stock conservation department we will
refer them to Macnary County, Ten

destructive tick to the extent that the
cattle industry was on the verge of
extinction, but the state and the
government department got real busy,
and today the cattle industry is at its
highest and most profitable, in a way
as never before. Considerable oppo-
sition was met when the campaign
was begun by many citizens who did
not believe in the move, but today they
are the strongest supporters of the
dipping plan, and do not only stand
for it, but practice it. The Oklahoma
way is not to sleep on anything, but
to get up and do things, and it's going
to deliver the goods in this move and
show that the valued commerce of the
great state shall not suffer, neither

THRIFT Is GOOD MANAGEMENT

PRACTICAL HINTS.

| Thrift is good management, and no.
where is good management more man.
| fest than in the home. You can soon
tell what manner of housekeeper the
wife is, for the impress of her ideals
and ideas is on every hand She can
waste all the husband earns, or she
can save the major part.
Housekeeping is the most compli-
Gated work in the world, and she
who can keep a house well is a good
business woman. She can make her
work drudgery or she can make it a
pleasure. Men fail in business and
the world knows it; but how many
home failures there are of which the
world never hears!
1t is easy to detect the woman who
fails as a housekeeper. If you see
the dishes unwashed, the children I'M
kempt, clothes strung all over the
house, the bath Uttered, the corners
dirty and a general air of neglect,
YOU may depend upon it she has failed
as a business housekeeper. She does
not know how.
Writing in the Ladies Home Jour
nal. one woman tells how she sue.
ceeds as a home-maker and as
business woman in the home. She
aims at simplicity. She has simple
furnishings, but good. She has no
"parlor, that abOmination of oden
time, but a living room, where they
really live. Most parlors are merely
to look at, not to use. She has
simple meals,-things they are all
stuck on"-as the little boy puts l.,
but lots of them. Baked beans only,
but lots of them and good. And who
couldn't make a meal on the beans
mother used to bake
She has no curtains at the windows,
her windows are for light and air
not to display curtains and catch the
dust and keep out the sunlight. She
wastes no food. She allows the chill
dren to take only as much as they
can eat and no more. If they leave
any food on the plate, the next meal
begins with that cold plate. Her
garbage pail is for waste, not food.
Swell swill" costs money, and pigs
is pigs" and relish potato peelings
as much as ice cream.
She doesn't make her attic a Junk
shop. She makes it a store room;
cleans it once a year, but that is all.
She has order in the kitchen. She
saves time by having things in order
She doesn't dry her dishes, but
"scalds" them and lets them dry them
selves,-and they can do it better
than she.
She uses Il letter press" to iron
socks and towels and coarse articles
that other women break their backs
over to no useful purpose.
A fireless cooker saves gas and
time and food She keeps biscuit
flour mixed with the proper proper
ton of salt and baking powder and
biscuits for her oven in five minutes,
She has all her kitchen utensils handy

thus she saves steps. Some women
walk too much on their jobs. She
always has change in the house,
runs no accounts, pays cash on de-
livery, weighs her purchases and takes
nothing for granted. She keeps ac-
count of all her expenditures and
knows where her money goes and
what it buys. She doesn't hire much
help. because she don't need it. She
studies her job and succeeds because
she knows how.

The charcs in the Rector's Eyes.
 The grand privilege of Mrs. Jim Sargent's happy life was to worry all she liked. Just now. as she sat on the seven chairs and the four benches of the mahogany psnelled library. amid wealth of serious minded sculpture and painting and rare old prints. she was bathed in new ecstasy of painful enjoyment She was worried about Gail, It was six-thirty now. and Gail had not yet returned from Lucile's.
 Mrs. Helen Davies, dressed for din ner with as much care as if she had been about to attend one of the unat- tainable Mrs. Waverly-Gaites' annu- als. came sweeping down the marble stairs with the calm aploInb of one whom nothing can disturb and, lorg- nette in hand, turned into the library.
 ''Pm so glad you came down. Helen," breathed Mrs. Sargent, with a sigh of relief I'm so worried, Gail hasn't come home from Lucilc's."
 Mrs. Helen Davies sat beneath the statue of Minerva presenting wisdom to the world. and arranged the folds of her gown to the most graceful ad- vantage.
 "You shouldn't expect her on time, coming from Lucile's." she observed. with smile of proper pride. She was immensely fond of her daughter Lu- cile; but she preferred to live with her sister. ''I have a brilliant idea. Grace. I'll telephone" and without seeming to exert herself in the least. she glided from her picturesque high-backed Flemish chair. and sat at the library table. and drew the phone to her, and secured her daughters number. Hello, Lucille" she called, in the most friendly of tones. You'd better send Gail home. before your Aunt Grace develops wrinkles"
 Mrs. Helen Davies listened to the answer, a sparkle in her black eyes.
 Where is she?" interrupted hirs. Sargent, holding her thumb.
 "0ut driving. reported sister Helen. Have you sent your invitations for the house party. Lucile?" and she dis cussed that important subject until Mrs Sargent's thumb ached. With whom is Gail driving, and where?" asked sister Grace, anxious fc- S-S'il. --'

 ''We1l stop at the house long enough to tell her you're busy" sug- gested Allison, as eager as boy.
 'Let's!" cried Gail. and, with a laugh which he had discarded with his first business promotion. Allison threw out another notch of speed. and whirled from the Seventy-second street entrance up the avenue to the proper turning, and half way down the block, where he made swift but smooth stop. bringing the step with marvellous accuracy to within an inch of the curb.
 She flashed at him a smile and ran up the steps. She turned to him again
