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
catarrhal deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedy. Catarrha,
deafness is caused by an inflamei
condition of the mucous lining OF
the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbl-
ing sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result. Unless the inflamma-
ton can be reduced and this tub,
restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused
by catarrh, which is an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
through the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.

lars for any case Of Catarrhal Deaf

Nuts and Digestion.

The reason nuts are thought indiges-
tible by some is because of the thin
skin surrounding each kernel, notes a
medical authority. This can easily be
blanched off by pouring boiling water
on the nut, and allowing it to stand
for a few moments. Almonds should
never be eaten with the red, tough
skin on the nut meat. When boiling
water is poured on the almond, this
skin becomes as tough as leather. The
best way to use nuts for children Is to
grind the nut meats or pound them,
for which purpose the nut-butter knife
in the meat grinder will be found the
right tool. A good nut cracker with
strong spring makes nut-cracking
easy, and is preferable to buying the
ready-picked meats on the market.

On The Milky Way!

There is a certain Paris man who
owns certain fashionable brand Of
COW, and this cow is a daisy in her
own individual way. The Paris man
is very fond Of the animal. and gets
her the very best in the way of
feed, even in these conservation
times. But here is where the tale
of woe comes in. He got in an ex-
ira lot of bran and other stuff from
one of the local millers not long
ago, and put it, as he thought. in the
right place. One night just after
slowing the feed away, he was de-
tanned much longer than usual at
his place of business, and when he
went in the stable to feed the COW
he made a big mistake and gave her
a box full of sawdust instead of the
usual bran mash. The cow, merely
supposing that the real thing had
come to pass in the conservation of
food, meekly ate her supper. The
Paris man did not discover his mis-
take until the next morning. When
he went to milk the COW, which he
reserved as his own particular form
of recreation, she let down half a
gallon of turpentine, quart OF
shoe pegs and a bundle of lath.

Paris Must Reach Out Some!

To us it looks as though the trade
of the country is scatter so that
the town which puts forth the most
effort in that direction will eventu-
ally succeed in landing far more than
it's legitimate share of business. At
present, while time hangs on the
hands of the average business man,
he takes time to look around, and
then spends his money where it will
go the farthest, so to us it seems that
the merchants who offer him good
values for his money, will eventu-
ally reap golden rewards in the way
of his future trade.
This fact we would like to impress
upon the minds of the people of
Paris, and we would also ask them
to aid us in establishing the fact
in this city can be found better bar
gains than in any other in this Sec
ton. If we once get this fact eS-
tablished, Paris will again be handl-
ing the trade that rightfully belongs
to it-Millersburg, North Middle
town and other sections of the couH
ty that are now throwing their dol
lars into the tills of the Lexington
merchants. Let's all join hands and
make this possible.

Got Their "LiveIy Time.n

A famous lion-tamer tells of a queer
Christmas present he once received. 1t
was a consignment from a friend
abroad of three Demonstrators and
FIVE alligators, with Jim's best wishes
for lively time" The iOn-tamer and
his wife got the lively time desired.
He says:
., II shall never forget how annoyed ]
was when, during the night, two of the
ailigators broke out of their boxes in
our bedroom and began exploring. /
could not find the matches, and l and
my wife remained on top Of the bed
canopy till morning. Luckily, my wife
never thought Of the thing that wor-
ried me. I was afraid the alligators
might call on the boa-constrictOrs to
wish them Merry Christmas, and Sc
wake them up too"

Here We Go Again!

Suppose every business man in
Paris took as much interest in the
upholding of the town and forward
ing all public enterprises as the
newspaper man. He works for the
railroads, manufacturers, schools
and churches, good streets, good
roads, food conservation, fuel conser-
walton, and everything else of a pub
lie nature, urges, pleads, scolds,
badgers and cavorts around gener-
ally. Imagine his feelings when
some string-halted kind of fello "
reproaches him because he doesn' t
boom things enough. If the city
does not boom and the prices of real
estate advance and the owners grow
rich from the results Of his labors,
he makes nothing by it. He is like
the poor boy at the circus-he can
stand and look at the pictures with
out the necessary quarter to gain ad-
mission.

been some weather around this part
of the country this winter. Tween
ty-six inches of snow on the level,
and sixteen degrees below zero,
might be encountered with toler-
able degree of comfort if they had
come one at time But when both
pile on together, it is a good deal
like having to take on two husky
chaps at one time in an effort to
lick them. One is handicapped. For
what one chap won't think of doing
to a fellow, the other will, and the
combat is more than likely to wax
interesting. Same way about the
snow and zero weather. The railroad
men said that they could very hand
lily have licked one at time, but
when the combination struck them
they had to quit. Result, in Paris,
a shortage of coal, which had al
ready been at a perilous level of sup
ply, and arrangement, almost to the
point of paralysis, of freight-moving
and passenger traffic.
But the leaden, laden days of Win
ter have about passed, and in their
stead will soon come the fragrant
breath of Spring, and later the full
blown beauty of Summer, and after
that the Autumn, with its gifts of
fruits and grains and then-well,
let's pass UP next Winter for the
time being and all join the 'Is-
Everybody-Happy" Club.

The Editors Say-So.

1t isn't every editor that can
have a say-so. For they do say that
the average editor is but the spokes-
man for him. or them, who hold
stock in the paper he is supposed to
edit. The sad and those in despair
ebout the trend of modern times
would have us believe that the great
gnodern dailies do not by any means
fashion public opinion, finding it
more profitable to reflect the same.
This being true, say the sad and
those in despair, the editor is but
the hireling hired by the hirers to
write about what is most pleasing to
the greatest number of possible
readers, and, OF course, advertisers.
But we are an hireling, too, and our
hirers, having troubles Of their own,
leave US to our own sweet will in
the matter of Musings" In the
dearth of material about which to
write, sometimes, we really wish we
did have some kind of a machine that
would grind out news as a Victrola
grinds out canned music.

about the weather, and everybody in

Get The Hook!

The man who can see no good in
his fellow-man ought to fall off of
this earth and go to his proper place.
There is no guess as to where he
ought to be and as to where he will
go when he leaves here. The milk
of human kindness has soured in
him; his better nature has become
perverted; his eyes inverted, and his
whole moral being turned awry.
He has lost confidence, in men; has
no real respect for women; looks on
the government as being tyrannical,
and death as merely an escape from
thralldom. He is too cowardly tN
destroy himself; too abject to be
honorable; too small intellectually
to bother about the weightier prob
lens of life; too contemplate to be
noticed, and too apt to live out all
his days. Such men may be termed

MEN WITH NERVES OF IRON
Remarkable Feats That Are Said I.
Have Been Performed by Eng
lish Steeplejacks.

The business Of being a steeplejack
has very strangely run through" SET
eral families of England. At Noting
ham there was family named Woot-
ton, members of which had for centu-
ries the reputation of being daring
steeple climbers, not for adventure but
in the way of business.
One Of these Woottons, In the time
Of George III, was famous for repair
ing steeples and spires without using
scaffOlding he did his work by the
help Of ladders, hooks and ropes. When
he repaired st. Peters spire, Noting
ham, in 1889, having finished his work,
he beat drum at it's top, thousands
Of people looking on.
Another of the WOOttons undertook
the perilous task of ascending the spire
of st. Mary's, Manchester, which was
very lofty. By tremendous wind the
ball and cross had been bent down, and
looked dangerous. This steeple climb
er raised ladders one after the other,
assisted by blocks and ropes, and
secured each in succession to the stone
work with clamps. When he got near
the top of the spire the work became
more difficult, and the spectators anx-
iOusly watched him as he fixed the last
ladder. Having accomplished this feat,
WOOttOn stepped from the ladder on to
the crown or pinnacle Of the steeple,
and stood quite upright, with his hands
free. Then he raised cheer, which
was responded to by the crowds below.
More extraordinary still, one of these
| steeple-climbers is said to have per-
formed the feat of standing upon his
| head on steeple top. "'.

common weakness. Few escape 1t al

And this kind of ridicule, in fact all

to be associated with vanity. In ridi-
culing there is invariably the desire to
show how clever one Is oneself.
