That agents of several large vinegar
distilling companies in the east are
making a determined effort by propa-
ganda to keep the farmers throughout
this section from making and dispos-
ing of their own cider vinegar is the
charge made by officials of the De-
partment of Agriculture. These firms,
the charge asserts, are circulating re-
ports that it is contrary to law for the
farmer to make cider vinegar of his
own apples, thereby increasing the bus
mess Of the commercial firms. whose
price for their produce is much high
er put up in fancy containers. In
commenting on this phase of the
provisions of the prohibition enforce
ment act, one official stated that the
farmers may make cider vinegar and
may sell it to the wholesale and retail
trade without inspection or permit of
any kind. Persons are also allowed to
make cider for their own use, but
must not sell it if it becomes "hard."

Catarrh Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
Their is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tonal remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an inAamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed YOU have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever.
Many cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh. which is an inhamci condition
of the mucous surfaces. Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on
the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrh Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

The Making of Pearls.

Pearls are the product of decay. A
French naturalist says, in Cosmos,
that the free pearls found in the
common pearl-bearing mollusks are liz
lie tombs surrounding the bodies OF tho
marine worms known as distomes dur
ing a particular stage Of their life.
In the month Of August certain mol
lusks are found having numerous small
reddish-yellow points in the spot where
pearls usually form. Then begins the
Imprisonment Of the creature. In the
beginning the surface of the distome
is sprinkled with tiny grains Of car
Donate Of lime. These granulations
grow and interlace in different pat
terms, and end by forming a calcareous
deposit around the creatures body,
which can still be distinguished by its
yellow tint.
The calcareous deposit takes on pol
ish and luster; and at this moment the
nucleus OF the young pearl is seen
only as little black point, which soon
disappears. The pearl has now a
beautiful luster, and it keeps on grow
ing in contact with the membranous
pouch surrounding the calcareous cyst
The distome remains there until the
following summer. At the beginning
of the season the pearl loses its polish,
decays and falls to pieces. There may
remain only a gelatinous mass, and
these are known as gelatinous pearls.
The parasite then resume its active life,
reproduces its kind, and the young dis
tones become in their turn encysted,
forming new pearls.
There are pearls that escape their
physiological fate, and may grow to
larger size because their distomes are
dead, killed by another parasite, or be-
cause they are sterile.
So the most beautiful pearl is nothing
but the brilliant tomb Of worm.
