CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAM
 NOT BE CURED.

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure ca- tarrhal deafness, and that is by constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re- suit. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an infIamed condition of the mu-' cous surfaces.

YOUNG MATRON
DIES SUDDENLY

The recent news of the sudden death
in Portland, where she resided. of Mrs.
William Weber, came as great shock
to her local friends and relatives. Her
father in-law and mother-n-l law, Mr.
and Mrs. W. G. Weber, did not know
that Mrs. Weber had been i'll until
their son telephoned the news of her
death. They left Immediately for
Portland, remaining there for funeral
services.
Mrs. Weber, who has frequently Wis.
tied here, had been suffering for sew
eral years from infected tonsils. Her
death resulted from an operation for
removal of her tonsils. She never re.
gained consciousness after going on
the operating table.
In addition to her husband, who
spent several weeks here last fall in
the interest Of the Polk Directory Co.,
Mrs. Weber is survived by small son,
Harry, her mother, Mrs. Case, sister
and a brother. Mrs. Case has been
very i'll for several weeks. Fearing
that the news might be fatal to her,
she has not been told of the death OF
her daughter.

Hood River

There is little hamlet.
That's very dear to me
It's nestled near river,
Which swiftly flows into the sea.
Two lofty. snow-capped sentinels
Stand guard both day and night.
And rugged, timbered foothills
Cast shadows in the ev'ning light.
Here gently slope the side-lands,
Down where the waters play,
And rustling, silver naples,
Their cooling, shady mantles lay.
Among the rushes. or on slopes
OF velvet. em'rald green,
While dainty flowers, waving,
Lift up their heads in modest sheen.
Occasionally a ripple
In playful mood will land
And spray the casual trav'l Ter,
That on the waters edge would stand,
To watch the sailboats as they toss,
Like phantoms in the breeze,
Or view abreast the current,
The drifting wrecks of forest trees
Above the turbid water,
The hamlet's vigils keep,
And offer rest and succor,
To all that in her fold would creep.
And when at night the twinkling stars
Vie with the village lights.
The zephyrs, perfume laden,
Chant vespers from the mountain
heights.
When here on Times wings resting,
The days pass freely by,
| view the scenic grandeur,
With ev'rence for the Hand on High.
Forgotten are the cares of life,
| drift with Natures tide;
| feel balm enhancing
I'd fain forever here abide
