Living on his school salary in a mod

home, and in Washington, he has earn

universities by writing short stories
and magazine articles. He has paid
out between $4,000 and $4,000 on each

Some of the youngsters were Or

all were eager to learn and were handi-
capped by lack Of money.
The thirteen boys who are alive are
all actively engaged in the professions
in which MI. Mack has educated them.
Two are druggists, one being in st.
Paul and the other in Los Angeles.
Two are instructors in the University
of Minnesota, where they were grad

the other is an instructor in German.
This latter young man plans to be
physician and in 1914 married a girl
who wished to go to German to get
her masters degree, SO he and his
bride sailed for Germany to continue
their studies, only to be turned back by
the beginning of the war.
Mr.. Mack sent him through Normal
school, the University Of Minnesota
and Harvard, where he received his
masters degree
A young man who chose to be
broker received his education at the
University of Illinois. He started out

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much SUI
fering from catarrh and head noises
American people would do well to con-
sfder the method employed by the
English to combat this insidous dis
ease. Everyone knowe how damp the
English climate is and how dampness
affects those suffering from catarrh.
In England they treat catarrhal deaf
ness and head noises as . constitu-
tion disease and use an internal
remedy for it that is really very eff
cacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear
watch tick tell how they had their
hearing restored by this English treat
ment to such an extent that the tick
Of d watch was plainly audible seven
and eight inches away from either
car
Therefore. If you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh. catarrhal

formula and hand il to them and you
viii have been the means OF saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. The prescription can be
easily prepared at home Cor about 75c

any excess of secretions in the middle

Every person who has catarrh in

destructive disease. Summers Pharm-
