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 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 infamed you have a
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

forever. Many cases Of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an infiamed

Manager Allotted Him.

Owing to the limitations Of his
purse the manager Of a theatrical
show on the road travelled with a

One afternoon he called one of his
players to him and remarked:
"Look here, Wellington, you'll have
to play three parts tomorrow night in
The Silent Foe'-Henderson, Uncle
Bill, and the Spider
Cant do it," retorted Wellington,
briefly, but firmly.
Cant do it? Won't do it, you
mean" snorted the manager. "Why
won't you do it?"
Because 1t can't be done. No hui
man being could play these three parts
at the same time. In the third act Hen

Herrera joined the column at Palta'
protesting loyalty. Arriving at Tax
calantongo, Herrera offered hospital
ity to Carranza, placing sentinels who
knew the terrain. At 4 o'clock in the
morning his men, abusing the conf
dence imposed in them, surrounded the
shelter where Carranza was sleeping
firing their. rifles furiously into the
hut. Everyone offered resistance, al
though with the natural demorali7a

General Francisco Murguia fought
valiently, repulsing the traitors who
surprised the defenders when they
were leaving their shelters to attack
the enemy.

The defense was so general that the
attackers were forced to take sixty
prisoners, among them Mario Meadez

HEBRIDES THE TIN lSLANDSr
Mystery Of Lands Described by the
Ancient Phoenicians Seems to Have
Been Cleared Up.

Where were the tin islands? Every
boy and girl has been taught that the
Phoenicians visited Britain before the
time of Julius Caesar to get tin for use
In the manufacture of bronze. They
have been told that when the ancient
writer's speak Of the tin islands, or
Cassiterides. they mean the Settles. al
though little or no tin is found in those
islands.
The fact is that no one could say
defnitely where the tin islands were.
some historians thought they were the
rt+Ie islands at the northwest corner
OF Spain, while others have believed
that they had no real existence. and
that in speaking Of them the authors
merely meant to indicate that tin came
from overseas.
Now. however. an important discov-
erv has been made that seems to clear
no the mystery. Tin has been found
in considerable quantities In the Heb

Disease is one of the handicaps to

Therefore it is important 10 watch

than cure. and all those who wish 10

birds such good care and keep their

GAVE HIM UP IN DISGUST
Supreme Test and Then DelV-
cred Stern Verdict.

The total lack of comprehension be-
tween the American negro and his
Algerian brother will go down in his
tory as one of the outstanding features
of the war.
There was for instance, the case of
the dusky stevedOre at Brest and one
of the colored French troops on duty
there. Long and laboriOusly the Yank
tried 70 establish some means of lin
guistic communication. but there was
no response.
Then a brilliant thought struck the
boy from Georgia. He produced a
pair of ivory cubes and rolled them
enticingly under the Algerian's nose.
Intelligence still registered zero.
