CatsrrhaI Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.

"Female" Destroyers the peadIler.

Strangely enough. although the
American destroyers carried greater
fuel supplies than the British, they
were rather more dainty and graceful
in their lines-a fact that inspired a
famous retort which rapidly passed
through the ranks of both navies.
"You know" remarked British of
ficer to an American. 81 like the Brit
ish destroyers better than the Ameri-
can. They look SO much sturdier.
Yours seem to me rather feminine in
appearance"

so, but You must remember what Kip

To make the children's party Mt

not at all difficult. All they need Is
room to play in, games and pastimes

one to supervise them and Christmas
goodies to eat. This last item In the
program Of the Christmas party means
a great deal to them. but they are cas-
lily pleased.
The old fashioned games. "blind
mans buzz" drop the handkerchief"
hide and seek" have unfailing charms
for the youngsters, but they will not
play at one game long. A FISHING

manage. A lot OF toys and trinkets

hung across the corner to hide them.
Fishing poles with lines having

and each child casts his line oven the
top of the curtain. Someone In charge
of this part Of the entertainment
fastens a little parcel to the bent pin
for each child and someone else sees
to it that each little guest gets one
chance at the pond.
