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 a constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is in1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect nearing, and
when it 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.

Put Character Into Your Work.

Those who reach the highest and
best in any sphere of life must seek
it. Whatever the work they have to
perform, they must put earnestness
and energy into it. Character counts,
and the individual who achieves the
highest must put personality in his ee-
forts.

is very convenient because it folds
compactly and can easily be carried In
the pocket. This rule has a greater
capacity than the one first mentioned,
but when folded. occupies less space
lengthwise than the other.
Work that does not require great
accuracy in its performance may be
marked out with a pencil, the point Of
which should be kept sharp. Where
great accuracy is required. as in laying
out Joints, a sharp knife is essential.
Two forms are illustrated. The Sloyd
knife is very convenient as a part OF
the regular bench equipment. but IT
cannot be carried around in the peck
ct. IF it is desired to have a knife
that will answer all purposes. a good
jack-knife is recommended. BUT
KEEP IT SHARP!
The try-square is essential for test
ing pieces OF stock for squareness. that
is to see If adjacent sides are at right
angles to each other. 1t is also used
TO lay out lines that are drawn across
the grain of the wood. and for testing

The bevel Is similar to the try

square is used for laying out and test
ing right-angies.
The marking gauge is used for laying
out lines along the grain OF a piece
OF wood. The head moves along the
beam and can be fastened in any de-
sired position. AS received from the
factory. the spur is set accurately

To lay out arcs and circles the com.
