Hens vs.. PuIIets.-One Of the i'm
portant problems that the poultry
man has to deal with is how to yet
the largest number Of eggs from his
flock. How can he do this? BY Sc
lecting pullets to comprise about two
thirds of his entire flock rather than
by having a majority Of hens. Sta
tistics show that pullets lay about 30
eggs more per year than hens. This
is true for both the heavy and the
light breeds. The net profit therefore
is in favor of the pullets. They lay
more eggs in the fall and winter when
the prices are high, and so tend fur
ther to increase the profit. During
the pullet year an estimated profit
above feed Of $3.50 per bird is netted,
while for the hen year a profit or
s2.52 per bird is netted.
Why then keep a large mock OF
birds which will decrease the profits
rather thnn increase them? Keen
mors p..1ets and fewer hens in the
flock. 1t rays and means better re-
suits all round. =

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 cartarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constitu-
ional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an iuflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes
When this tube inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation
can be reduced and this tube to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Many cases of deafness are
causedby catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces OF the
system.

The daily Alaskan., 1921-10-13

The canny manager of a Times Square drug store has hit upon a plan to get business in this hot weather trade which ordinarily was lost. ac- cording 10 the New York Sun. By the simple plan of installing a battery of electric fans near every telephone booth he claims he has been able to keen the stores business up to the level of the cooler months. As he puts it:
 "When l saw people leave the booths after n hot session of telcphoninG and rush to the street for air, l found ] lost business. It was case of complying with the cardinal principles of buSt- ness: Never let them get away with out buying something.
