DeatuessCauuOt he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
end this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition OF tie mucous surfaces.

OLD TOMBS or PATRIARCHS
Cave Of Machpelah, Bought by Ahra-
ham for Burying Place, Has
Stood Ravaaes of Time.

The tombs of the patriarchs in Jeru-
salem, the cave of Machpelah, which
Abraham bought for "a possession of
a burying place." is still in existence.
For forty centuries it withstood the
ravages of time and men, relates
writer.
1t is situated in the town of Hebron,
16 miles south-southwest of Jerusalem,
and sheltered from proclamation by a
Mahometan mosque that rises above it.
The tomb contains the whole patri-
archal family, with the exception of
Rachel. The cave is divided into an
upper and lower compartment. Only
the upper compartment is accessible to
the priest in charge of the mosque,
but he only enters it in times Of great
calamity, and for the sole purpose of
praying. AS to the lower cOmpart-
ment, where repose the illustrious ia
theirs of the Jewish nation, they re-
NAMED completely closed until the
year 1862, when. for the first time,
King Edward VII, then the prince
of Wales, together with Doctor STAN
ley, the dean of Westminster Abbey,
and two other friends, were granted
admission.
The six tombs are arranged symmet-
rically in rows of twos; a seventh, in
the wall, is believed to belong to JO-
seph. Abraham's tomb, which has the
form of coffin with a shelving ridge,
is about eight feet high, and is set in
the cemented stone and marble. 1t is
covered with three gold embroidered
green carpets, which are the gifts Of
the emperor of Constantinople, Ma
homet II, the conqueror of Egypt, Selim
IT, and the Sultan Abdul Medjid.

BoiIinu Canned Vegetable.

The intermittent method of sterili-
cation calls for boiling vegetables in
the water bath after they have been
for three days. This allows alternate
periods of rest, in which the dormant
resistance spores may lay off their
heavy protective wall and begin active
growths. In the growing state the
bacteria are easily destroyed by the
next period of boiling. For quart and
two-quart Jars daily boiling of one
and half to two hours is recon-
mended.

Life,s Treasure Stores.

Success and contentment begin with
the realization that life represents a
valuable treasure. We may liken life
to q field. At first the owner values
it for wild berries; then, ceasing to
be q wanderer, he becomes an agri-
culturist, and values it for it's rich har-
vest; grown wiser still, he discovers
coal; amazed at the treasure, he digs
and finds silver and gold; astounded,
he goes deeper, and 10! the seam is
full of diamonds. And every life holds
all the strata of underlying and I'M

When You Have a Cold

1t is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate the good qualities
of Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Frank Croker, Pana, H., writes. "Our
five year old son Paul caught severe
cold last winter that settled on his
lungs and he had terrible coughing
spells. We were greatly worried about
him as the medicine we gave him did
not help him in the least A neighbor
spoke so highly of Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy that | got bottle of it. The
first dose benefited him so much that I
continued giving it to him until he was
cured

Sorrow was felt in this city when it
was learned that Mrs. A. e. Kump had
passed away at the st. Joseph hospital
in Marshfield, Wis, Friday, Jan. 25th,
after short illness. Death resulted
from heart trouble. Charlotte Klement
was born at Sumner, Oct 10, 1862, and
at the time of her calling was 55 years
old. She was reared and educated in
the vicinity of her birth. October Is,
1882, she was married at Oregon, Wis,

Sumner sixteen years and then came
to Fort Atkinson. In 1907 they moved
to Marshfeld.
An electric fatiron left on all night
set fire to the large lecture room in the
basement of the Dwight Foster Public
Library Wednesday night and damaged
the building to the extent of 81 900.
The room is being used by the Red
Cross people, several of whom worked
until $50 that evening. The current
was turned on the fiatiron in the early
part of the evening and evidently was
not turned off when the room was lock-
ed. The iron stood on a solid oak
table which was completely consumed
along with several chairs. A hole was
burned in the linoleum concrete floor
over boxed pipe. A quantity of Red
Cross equipment was destroyed, and
the walls and electric light fixtures
were injured, the plaster ruined and
several windows damaged. The room
will have to be refinished and redecor-
ated and section of the floor made
new. What saved theN building were
the fireproof floor and wall.

About Consultation

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bananas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote movement of the bow
els. When the bowels are badly con-
stipated, however, the sure way is to
take one or two of Chamberlain Tab

A Hint to the Aged

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as soon
as they take cold and remain in bed for
one or two days, they would recover
much more quickly, especially if they
take Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
There would also be less danger of the
cold being followed by any of the more
serious diseases.

Wheat-corn bread is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat flour
alone. Thousands Of American fam
lilies today are using this mixed flour
bread, and in so doing are enabling
America to provide more wheat flour
for the allies. Here's tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and half
cups OF milk, water or mixture of
the two; one-half cake compressed
yeast, one and half teaspoons salt,
one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon
of fat If desired, one cup cornmeal
and two cups wheat flour.
Put one and half cups of water,
the cornmeal. salt, sugar and fat (if
used) into a double boiler and cook
twenty minutes. The water is suffi-
Client only, to soften the meal a little.
Allow the meal to cool to about the
temperature of the room and add the
flour. and yeast mixed with the rest
OF the water. Knead thoroughly,
make into loaf, place in pan of stand
ard SIZE allow to rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake 45 or so min
utes. It, is hardly practicable to use
a greater percentage Of cornmeal than
this even in emergencies, for bread so
made differs very little from baked
mush. Less cornmeal can be used
and in sucn n case the general meth
Cd given above may be followed.
1t is possible to make Il yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking the
cornmeal. In this case not more than
one cupful of meal should be used to
four cupfuls of flour In other re-
spects the bread is mixed and baked
as in the above recipe.

AMERICAN SAVINGS WILL
MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS

I'VE have already exported the
whole OF the surplus OF the 1917 wheat
harvest, over and aboye the normal de-
mands OF our own population. 1t is
necessary, therefore. for the food adj
ministration to restrict export of wheat
SO as to. retain in the United States
sufficient supplies to carry our own
people until the next harvest.
Therefore all exports OF wheat
from now forward are limited entirly
to volume OF saving made by the Amer
lean people in their consumption of
wheat and wheat products
I'VE continued wheat shipments for
December as far as our situation al

ton made we We're still unable to load

1t is probable that few artists ap-
pearing in public concert work have
done more to popularize the classics
and bring them within the understand
ing and appreciation of the average
person than have Estelle Gray and
Mischa Lhevinne of the Gray Lheyin-
ne Company which is to appear on
our Lyceum course next Tuesday
night. These young artists have won
an established place in the ranks of
the better class of concert musicians.
Estelle Gray, the violinist. believes
that the great masters of music wrote
for the masses and not the elias es.
She has studied their lives and at
tempted to analize the emotion
which inspired them to give to the
world their great creations.
Each number is introduced with
short preface by Estelle Gray. Shs
tells something of the life Of the com
poser. the chief characteristics of hi.
work and relates the circumstances
lander which that particular number
was written. She has a charming
personality and pleasing platform
appearance and her droll, naive man
nerisms add much to the enjoyment
of the evening.
The home folks all like the Gray
Lhevinnes after the little violinisr
has taken them into her confidence
and disarmed them with her friendly
little speeches. These artists do their
work with that enthusiasm which
characteriz ICES the true artist in love
with his work
This company is presented by the
Lyceum management as real artistic
offering. They play nothing but the
great classic compositions, but they
will be interpreted in such a manner
as to be understood and enjoyed by
all.
