Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured.

By local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased por
ton of the ear. There is onl Y one
way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an lntlamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian 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
inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Hall s
Oatarrh 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 Hall's Oatarrh Medicine. Cir
culars free. All druggists, 75c.

To the Members of Live Oak Branch
of the Red Cross:
Next Sunday, April 21st, will be the
regular meeting day of the Live Oak
Branch of the Drew County Ch:pter
of the Red Cross and all members Of
the Red Cross living within Life Oak
township are urged to attend the
meeting.
The Rev. j. L. Hoover of McGehee
has consented to attend the meeting
and viii address the people assembled
and it goes W:ta9st saying that all
who are present viii be treated to a
talk worth the time ard trouble.
We must build up the membership
of the Red Cross in this township and
it is impossible for the Executive
Committee to do the proper work
without the cooperation Of the men,
bership.
Our boys are dying On the battle
fields of the Great War; the suffering
being undergone by the flower of A
merica's manhood is beyond the COM
pas. of the imagination of any of us
who remain in this country We, to
whom it has been allotted to remain
in this country and do, not our bit,
but our best to help win the war, are
doing nothing, absolutely nothing,
when our small sacrifices are compar-
ed to the daily work Of the boys in the
trenches over there"
Many of you who read this article
have given your sons to the cause of
world freedom and today they are
fighting, suffering, dying that we may
be secure in the liberty founded with
the great American republic. They
are fighting for US, and it is nesces-
sary that we fight for them, They
bleed for us, let US not be en-
tireIy without appreciation. We must
work easier, their suffering less, pass
without doing all we can.
If you care one bit for the sacri-
fees the boys are making for you; il
you believe that we should do any
thing to assist in winning this war;
come to Mt. Tabor next Sunday after
noon at 800 o'clock and bring as many
with you as you possible can. We
must build up the membership in Live
Oak township and we must put more
people to work sewing for our boys.
Rev. Hoover's talk will be of the
greatest interest and the other work
of the meeting will be interesting. II
there are any of your acquaintance
who are not members of the Red
Cross, bring them and their member
ship to the meeting.
Hoping to see you all at Mt. Tabor
next Sunday, am,
Very truly yours,
C. A. MYERS,
Chairman of Executive Committee for
Live Oak Township.
