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 consti-
1utlonal remedy. Catarrhal deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet 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 for
ever. Meny cases of deafness are
caused by catarrh, which is an infiam-
ed condition 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
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All

Bethlehem's Bid on Shells
for the United States Nayy

To the American People:
The Secretary of the Navy has awarded
contracts amounting to over So, 900, 900
to a British bidder for IA and l6-inch
projectiles for the Navy because of very
much lower prices offered by the English
bidders
Weknow nothing of the basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub
he is entitled to know the facts upon
which we ourselves bid for this work.
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 200 14-inch shells at a
price of s1,515,0OO. Up to now
not a single shell has been ac-
cepted by the Government. all
though we have expended, in
wages, materials, ETC., ON these
orders 1922 1871, and we have NOT
received a SINGLE DOLLAR ON
Theses
the contract might make US liable for
penalties amounting to S6z8.oI6
In the light Of our experience, and hax-
ing no other basis, we bid for Io-inch
shells approximately the same rate ner
pound that which the NAVY Denart-
ment actually awarded a l4-inch she'll
contract one year ago.

During this period TaIHan came sew
eral times to visit PaulyItch. He
seemed anxious to purchase Ajax and
at last he told the man frankly that he
was prompted not only by desire
upon his part to return The beast to The
liberty of his native jungle, hut also
becNnse his wife feared that in some
way her son might learn The where

tachment for the beast become imbued
with the rowing instinct which, ass Tar
IAN explained to paulvitch, had 50 in
iluenced his own life.
The Russian could scarce repress n
smile as he listened to Lord Grey
stokes words for scarce Il half hour
had passed since the future Lord Grey
stoke had been sitting upon The diyor-
dered bed, iabbering away to Ajax
with all the iiuency of a born ape.
1t was during this interview that a
plan occurred to PaulVitch. and as Il
result of.it he agreed to accept Il fahu-
lous sum for the ape aud upon receipt
of the money to deliver the beast to Il
vessel that was sailing south from
Dover for Africa two days later.
Everything played into Pauvitch's
hands. AS chance would have ii. Tar

TIE ADMIRABLE HOSTESS,

Tact and talent are rocJired to BE-
a good entertainer The qualities cs-
sential TO make an admirable hostess
are various, and it would be difficult
go say which is the most essential
one.
One indispensable quality Of a good
entertainer is to appear, and il pos
sible, really to feel interested in the
things that her visitors discuss. This
quality is also requisite Of The fas-
cinatine and popular woman.
However entertaining you may be,
you should not lose sight OF the fact
that others may also want to air their
talents in the conversational line. and
you should give them a chance.
There is nothing more eXasperating,
besides being downright bad form, as
to listen in an distracted, slightly i'm.
patient manner, and begin at once
your story before the words are fairly
out Of your visitors mouth. Listen
attentvely, interestedly, and do not
show that you are waiting for one to
finish. Another phase of imDolitenes8
is to anticipate the point of an anec-
dote or to announce that you have
heard it before in a different way"
Such breaches are really unkindness,
and would never be committed if YOU
cultivated the faculty of putting your
self in the others place You like at.
tention, you like time to tell your
story, and draw your point; you
like appreciation Of your stories.
Why not accord to others these privil.
eyes?
While assuming an interest in
others, do not also assume that others
are Interested in all that appeals to
you. If everybody followed this sug.
gestlon, the problem would BE- solved
in trice. 1t requires much tact and
discrimination in selecting topcs for
all degrees and SHADES of thought Do
not talk above the heads of people
Just to air your own ideas or display
your language. Many people do this
TO make an impression, but the i'm.
preston they do make Is usually inst
the opposite of the one they expected

man, his eyes going wide with aston
ishment, stopped as though turned to

"Akut!" he cried
The boy looked. bewildered. from the
ape to his father, and from his father
to the ape. The trainers Jaw dropped
as he listened to what followed, for
from the lips Of the Englshman flowed
the gutturals of an ape that were an.

that now clung to him.
And from the wings n hdeously bent

tableau in the box, his pockmarked
features working spasmodically IN
varying expressions that might have
marked every sensation in the gamut
from pleasure to terror.

Through his mind was running rapid,
train Of recollcctions that carried him
far into the depths Of the primeval AZ
rican forest where this huge, mnnllkc
beast had fought shoulder to shoulder
with him in years before. He saw the
black Mugamb welding the deadly
knob stick and beside them, with barred
fangs and bristllng whskers, Sheeta
the Terrible and, pressing close behind
savage as the savage panther, the hid
eouS apes of Akut.
The man sighed. Strong within him
surged the jungle lust that he had
thought dead. All, If he could go back
even for brief month of it; to feel
ngain The brush of leafy branches
against his naked hide; to smell the
musty rot of dead egetation--frank.
Incense and myrrh to the .iungle-born--
