WOMAN WALKED FIFTEEN
MILES TO BUY THE BONDS
Mrs. Charles F. Sloppy, Who Spends
Time Trapping in the Allegheny
Mountains

Fl.
Clearfield, Pa, May S.-Mrs.
Charles F. Sloppy lives in the heart
OF the Alleghenies, and spends the
lonely days of winter reading the
newspapers and trapping the fur
bearing animals which may still be
found in the Businesses of the forest
She has been deeply interested in
the progress of the war, as are all
the mountain people of Central
Pennsylvania, and when the news
OF the third Liberty loan reached
her humble home, she decided to
lend to. the government such money
as she had accumulated from her
winters work.
so one morning she walked fifteen
miles into Clearfield, and entering a
bank asked for eleven $1OO Liberty
bonds. These, she, explained as the
receipt was being made out, each
represented 20 skunk skins. She
expressed her sincere regret that
she did not have the. "hide of the
kaiser to sell with those of the other
skunks.''
Mrs. Sloppy has sixty traps scat
tered through the mountains and she
is usually rewarded with pelts
enough to make her daily round OF
the traps well worth while. But her
captives are not always skunks
Occasionally she gets a mink for
which the traders cheerfully pay her
$13, and frequently a weasel which
is almost as valuable.
Mr.. Sloppy is a ginseng farmer
and he too, has been able to buy
Liberty bonds, to the value of $1,000
But he earned every cent of it from
his last seasons "diggings."

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 constitution
al remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inf1amed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result. Unless the infam-
nation can be reduced and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by ca
tarrh, which is an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh
Medicine acts through 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 Catarrh
Medicine. Circulars free. All drug
gists, 75c.
