Telephone Courtesy

The people who get the greatest
amount of good out of their telephone
are those who talk over it as though face
to face.
Courtesy smooths out difficulties and
promotes the promptest possible connec-
TONS
The operators of the BELL System
are trained to be patient and polite under
all circumstances but they will do better
work if they meet with patience and
politeness on the part Of the telephone
users
The fact that you cannot see the
operator or the other party should not
cause you to overlook this. The best
results come through the practice Of
mutual courtesy.

Catarrhal deafness cannot be cured
BY local applications, az they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is oaly one way to cnre catarrh-
al deafness, and that Is by constitn-
tional remedy, Catarrhal deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition Of
the mucous lining of tho Eusthchian
Tube, When this tube IL iniiamed you
have rumhIing sound or imperfect
hearing, and when II Is entirely closed
deafness Is the result. Unless the in
Illumination can be reduced and this
tube restored to Its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases Of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which Is an inhamed condI-
tion Of the mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood
on the mucous surfaces Of the system
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Catarrhal Deafness

Congressman Miller was detained al
the Capitol by the debate and impend-
ing vote on the Draft Bill Saturday

notice will be given.
On Monday evening the patrons Of

county had two thriving and profitable
industries that have, also, disappear.

of -four and the manufacture al cigars
One Of these articles II luxury. Of
course, but the other is necessity.
and today, more than ever, has -four
become necessity TO as and % our
country and to the allies OF the Il. =.
in the great war in which we too are
now engaged We may not take up
the cigar Industry until the war is
over so let as leave that subject for
tho present
WHAT wish 70 urge is the making
of -four There are perhaps two or
three mills in tho county capable Of
grinding four. Why can't the num-
her be increased until nearly every
corn mill Is turned into the -four bust.
ness also . Flour is far more nutrl-
tious for the human than Is corn, and
corn meal just now Is nearly as expen.
sive as -four. Let the farmers and
millers Of the county get together and
devise means OF keeping the bulk OF
our wheat for home use; les ii be
ground and bagged and sold right
here, and the rest Of the country and
our armies will have so much more TO
feed on during the critical times ahead
of MS, This win be patriotic and ex-
actly according to the Presidents re-
quest. The less -four we have To buy
outside the county the more money we
can save for other needs, and the bet

Yours truly,
