Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

Catarrhal Deafness requires constitu-

Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in

1t would seem tsat a building 5000
feet above the sea level should be
protected by lightning rods, but the
astronomical observatory at Mount
Etna has not, and does not, need such
protection. The observatory is near
the summit of the volcano, and the
stream Of vapor constantly rising from
the crater acts as a natural conduc-
tor, draining the electricity or. of the
clouds, SO that lightning Is seldom
seen there.

INCREASE IN RECEIPTS
Flatterins Showing Is Made BY The j
- G. Penney COMPANY

= c. Penney Company
The first of a series Of sectional con-
ventions of managers of the great
chain of J. c. Penney company stores
was held in ST. Louis on September 16
and II. Over hundred managers
were in attendance. Other convenr
tions will follow at st. Paul on Sep
tember % and "a, Portland on Sep
tember 80 and October /, and Salt
Lake City on October Z and 8.
Prevailing conditions as they are gen
orally understood to exist, are not
reflected in the financial report of the
nation wide institution, which shows
that for the first eight months of this
year the gross receipts were $4,7O0,
1876 in excess of the figures for the
corresponding period of last year.
President E. c. Sans attributes this
increase largely to the fact that the
public nowadays is shopping around
and buying merchandise of quality at
the lowest possible price. The pur-
chasing power of such a tremendous
organization as the j. c. Penney com
pany naturally makes possible the
buying of selected merchandise OF
high quality so as to retail 1t at low
prices.
