Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only way to cure catarrhal deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly 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 inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts thru the blood of the mucous
surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

BIRD AND BIRDMAN

Straight as an arrow the little bird flew,
Over the measureless depths of blue,
Swift it flew, with an instinct true,
Till it safely reached the shore;
And, nearly spent with its journeying,
In at the easement huttering,
The messenger pigeon on weary wing
A plea for succor bore
Help for the birdman out at sea
Whose mighty wings dropped helpfessly; !;
On wild, rough sea near perishing he,
AT mercy of wind and wave.
All, not in vain was the message sent.
Swift in response the rescurers went
Unfiinching they went, but with one intent,
And they saved the birdman brave!
Q birdman brave, o birding wee,
That cleave the skies on swift wing free,
Conquerors both akin are ye-
Brave to do and to dare!
0 that my spirit had your glad wings,
Blithely surmounting all earth-bound
things
Steadfast in skyey journeyings,
Ye monarchs bold of the air!

SEPT.

In mid-July when people fry
They want beach by breezes swept.
But things at home begin to boom
With the return of dear old Sept.
The rooms were good, we had nice food,
And our hotel was nicely kept,
But we would state that home looks great
With the return of dear old Sept.
Along the track we hustle back,
That pesky train, it fairly crept,
For folks who roam are keen for home
With the return of dear old Sept.

TO LIFT OR TO LEAN?

There are two kinds of people on earth
today,
Just two kinds of people, no more, say.
Not the saint and the sinner, for it's we'll
understood
The good are half bad and the bad are
half good;
Not the rich and the poor, for to count
mans wealth
You must first know the state of his con-
science and health;
Not the humble and proud, for in life's
little span
Who puts on vain airs is not counted a
man;
Not the happy and sad, for the Swiftly
ing years
Bring each man his laughter, each man his
tears
No; the two kinds of people on earth 1
mean
Are the people who lift and the people
who lean.
Where'er you go, you will find, too,
ween,
There is only one litter to twenty who
In what class are you? Are you easing
the load
Of over-taxed lifters who toll down the
road?
Or arc you leaner, who lets others bear
Your portion of labor and worry and care?

Rug making is as old as Greece itself,
but it was never made commercial
item, and it was rare indeed that a
weaver could be persuaded to part with
his rug. Greek rugs are of two kinds,
the heavy ones used in winter and the
light ones used at all times. In the be-
ginning the designs were of the simplest,
but later the Greeks borrowed floral
designs from the Persians, which loan was
amply repaid with the development of
Grecian art. Venetian rugs are also
very rare.-Ex.

OLD LONDON BELLMEN

Other bells than those attached to
churches used to disturb the slumbers of
Londoners. Prior to the institution of
watchmen every parish had its bellman,
who used to stalk the streets all night
AT irregular intervals he would ring his
bell loudly and cry out, "Take care of
your fire and candle, be charitable to the
poor and pray for the dead" If he met
any malefactor, he rang increasingly until
the neighborhcod was reused to his as
sistance.-Ex.

MAKING THE MOST OF NIAGARA
CONTINUED from page y

of it that will rise from Fosters Flats
will be pierced by large temporary open
ings of culverts, and channels will be dug
to them on the upstream side to serve as
sluiceways for the entire volume of the
Niagara when it becomes necessary to
divert the river in order to bare the nor
NAL bed for building purposes along the
line of the contemplated barrier. With
this done, it will then be relatively easy
engineering task to dam the usual or ma
tural water course to facilitate excavating
the rock and erecting that portion of the
dam that will terminate on the American
shore. When the dam is finished, then the
sluiceways will be sealed and the waters
impounded until they accumulate and
carry the surface level back from the crest
of the dam to the very foot of the Falls.
AS most everyone knows, great quantities
of ice are carried over the Falls and down
the river during the winter and the break
up of that rigorous season, and the impact
and the pressure of these foes must be
withstood by any rigid obstruction rising
in their path. Therefore, it is essential
that these stresses be minimized and that
the currents be free to carry the ice on
ward with minimum of opposition while
the bulk of the water is held in check. To
this end, the dam will be fashioned with
long slopes on the up and the downstream
sides.
The dam will serve the double purpose
of impounding the waters of the Niagara
for distance of nearly five miles and of
housing the great turbo-generators that will
transform the force of those waters into
100000 horsepower of electrical energy.
According to the estimates, this undertake
ing would involve total outlay of ap-
proximately $1OO,000,OOO; and from start
to finish would take something like three
years. On the basis of coal consumption
previously cited for the development of
horsepower year, j. e., tons, this scheme
would be tantamount to saving 100000
tons of that fuel annually. AT $40 ton
this would represent an economy OF. $780,
100000 every twelve-months. But quite
apart from these considerations, there
would be that inestimable gain in the mat
ter of electrical energy that could be
utilized for innumerable industrial pur-
poses. Not only that motive impulse at a
moderate cost would be available for
domestic services of many sorts.
We have led the world in the varied
character and the magnitude of our elec-
trochemical industries, and we can main-s
tain our position in this respect only by
continuing to provide great blocks of low
priced current to meet the increasing de-
mands for the commodities now manu-
factured at or near Niagara Falls. Finally,
let it be recalled that the two projects
might prove exceedingly valuable sources
of energy for that great superpower zone
which is to embrace far-hung section of
the states of our northeastern seaboard.
Isn't it worth our while to have at our
disposal 3,500,00O horsepower without
burning a single pound of coal. Can we
be Indifferent to undertakings that will
enable us to increase vastly our produc-
tiveness while cutting the fuel bill by hum
dreds of millions of dollars yearly?

(From Fridays Daily

The stranger who met with a
fatal accident between Marmaduke
and Halliday on October 18th, when
south bound Cotton Belt freight
train struck him, develops to have
been John r. Gunter, registered
pharmacist, of Eupola, Mississippi
son of j. l.. Gunter, farmer and tax
collector, Of that city. The body OF
the stranger was exhumed in Pot
ter's field this morning and defin-
itely identified by the father as
being that of his 35 year old son
who left the Mississippi home on
June list, this year. Marks upon
the legs of the body and general
appearances of the corpse fully con-
WINGED the father that the remains
were those of his son. The corpse
was in such condition that it was
reburied in the grave from which
it had been removed for examination
1t will be remembered that Con-
ductor Spence, of the Cotton Belt
freight that struck the man, report
ed that he observed the man near
the rails of the track in o crouch
ing position but on account Of the
high speed at which his train was
running he was unable to bring
the engine to a stop in time to
save the unfortunate fellow from
heing struck. The train crew pick
ed the man up and rushed him to
the Paragould sanitarium where he
fingered two days. Ills SKULL was
fractured and his body was other
wsie horribly bruised.
Local officers made an exhaustive
effort to locate the relatives OK the
dead man, without success. The
body was kept at Trice's undertake
ing establishment several days, then
inferred in Potter's field.
The father of the dead man ar
rived last night to institute an in
vestigation in response to a descrip-
ton of the dead man he had re-
ceived from Paragould officials. His
first intimation or suspicion that the
man killed was his son was fron
an item that appeared in the Com
mercial Appeal several days follow
ling the accident and death. Writ
