Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

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
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
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 inflamed condi-
ton Of the mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Medicine acts through the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All

The Tools Ct Animals

Did YOU know that many animal
have tools and machinery for MAKING
things? All the silk that is usci +,
the world is made by worms. The sill,
worm has set of machinery for spin
ming silk. 1t winds up the fine silk
threads as it spins them. Men weave
these threads into many beautiful
kinds of goods.
The wasp Knows how TO make paper
He picks of the finest bits of wood with
his mouth, and then gathers them into
little bunch, He makes this into
soft pulp, and from the pulp he makes
the paper with which he builds his
nest. 1t is very much like the CON-
mon brown paper which we use. In
deed, the wasp was the earliest paper
maker in the world; and the first wasp
made Just as good paper as anv wasp
can make now. Hornets, which are
kind OF wasp. make for themselves
LARGE. fine houses of paper, in which
are doors and windows and MAN.
cozv rooms.
The elephant can draw up water with
his trunk; and so we might say that he
carries pump with him. 1t is with
a pump something like the elephants
trunk that many insects gather honey
from the flowers. The MOSQUITO has
such trunk, also. BY the side of his
trunk he carries a pair of lancets with
which he cuts hole into the skin of
his victim. When these have done
their work, he pumps the blood no
into his mouth
The cat uses her rough tongue both
as a brush and comb When she
makes her morning toilet, she gets off
the dirt and smooths her coat with il.
just as the stable boy cleans and
smooths the horses coat with a curry
comb. When she wishes to smooth
the hair Of her head, she must use
her forepaws for comb, because she
cannot reach her head with her tongue
There is a kind of fish which uses
its mouth as a gun for shooting flies
and other insects. 1t can shoot them
not only when they are still, but when
they are on the wing. 1t watches
them as they are flying over the water
and hits one Of them, whenever it can
do so, with fine stream Of water from
its little gun. The insect, stunned by
the blow, falls into the water, where it
it is quickly caught and eaten by the
fish.
There are many other animals which
have tools for doing certain kinds Of
work. Some use their tools in build
ing nests or houses; others in gather
ing their food and still others in de-
Tending themselves against their enc
mics. Nature has given to each sni-
NAL the tools which ii needs most.

they want to buy clothes. Others, be-
cause they buy hats. But some be-
cause they want to buy birds. And
there are others who love to come and
look at the birds. For we are an in

here in this store.
"We're in the basement and they
have SO many pretty things about.
plants and flowers and all sorts Of
gay sights. Among the gay sights we
birds take the lead"
The Finch Owl grinned.
"They notice me-" said bird known
as the Strawberry Finch.
"They notice all of u.s." said the
other Strawberry Finches.
ITO be sure, to be sure" said the
Strawberry Finch. "When l said that
they noticed me meant that they no.

You see, we're unusual looking. In
the first place, we're very small, very.

isn't that true, family?"
The Strawberry Finches agreed that
1t was quite true.
1.-THE top of my head is grayish and
speckled, and the same could be said
of my tail. But the rest of me is
bright strawberry color. My waist
coat is reddish, pinkish, rose. Just
like strawberry. Almost we look
like Strawberries, but not a soul has
ever tried to eat us as yet for straw,

full"
"And of which fact we are very
thankful, too." said the others.
"But they all do notice us because
we are so different from other BIRDS"
the Strawberry Finch went on. Were
certainly most unusual looking.
1--WE came from Australia. All of
us like to sit in row, very close to-
gether, as you see us now. We en-
Joy hopping on each others backs,
too, and you see that two of my cous-
ms are sitting on the backs of two
others at this very moment.
"We're all chirping and making. nice,
merry little sounds and feeling very
gay and cheerful. But we're very
much admired because we are so un-
usual and so interesting looking.
"Fancy boy or girl looking like
strawberry! I've never seen any
visitors who came to the store look
like that, and there have been plenty
of boy and girl visitors.
But really, Owl Finch, you were
to have told your story. This was
really to have been your story! Do
tell it now. Describe to those who
cannot see you what you look like
and what you are doing to amuse
yourself. This must still be your story
even If l have taken up so much
time"
"Glad of it," said the Owl Finch. II
enjoy being neighborly and sharing
my story with some one else.
"Well, 1 am speckled gray around
the beak, and below, too. Around my
beak are black rings which make ple
look like an owl. My tail is black
and my beak is blue-gray. l, tco,
come from Australia. And l, too, like
to sit with my family in row and
hop about. We have fun, as you do,
hopping over each other.
but what fun we did have the
other day when big man came to
the shop and he put his finger by
my cage and raised 1t up so we'd all
look up and put it down so we'd all
look down.
1--WE all did just the same. There
we all sat in row, looking up at
his finger, and then down at his
finger. 1t was great game. And
the man enjoyed it. too. He thought
1t was great fun.
"Ah, yes, it is nice here. There are
plenty of birds, parrots, canaries.
fnches of all sorts. We have a good
time and such delicacies to eat, and
the people who look after us really
know something about birds.
"We're small, too. very small. But
I think I've talked enough. I must
play games with my family now"
And all the birds began playing once
more instead Of listening to or telling
stories.

Something to Be Thankful For.

Helen, age seven, sat in the rear seat
of fathers automobile while he went
shopping in n department store. Fn-
ther had not noticed that he had
parked his machine where there was
supposed to be mo parking" 1t all
happened before the change in admin

So, when he returned to his auto

scratching sticker off the wind
shield.
"Dady, that old naughty policemans
stuck that paper there" she confided.
Daddy was glad that he arrived be-

Ice bulletin of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture from the pow
erful government plant at Arlington,
Va, just across the river from WASH
ington, the items Of that report are in
the hands of the farmers in the farth-
est corner of the country. This
news Is received from Arlington in reg
ular commercial telegraph code at six
local broadcasting stations covering
the entire United States. These sta
tions are at Cincinnati, st. Louis,
Omaha, North Platte, Neb.; Rock
Springs, Wyo., and Elko, New. At
each of these plants the report Is de-
coded and read ut stipulated hour
over the radio phone to the listening
farmers.
The United States forest service has
found radio to be Indispensable In for
est patrol. 1t has taken over many
of the unused sets Of apparatus in
tended for war use by the army and
has equipped its rangers with them.
The aero division of the forest serv-
ice has been equipped with miniature
transmitting sets and is in constant
communication with the rangers in
every part of the forest. An aviator
can report the exact location of fire.
Do you want to send radio mes
sage to some one in u far-distant city?
This can be done at absolutely no ex-
pense to you, through the courtesy of
the American Radio Relay league.
Definite radio relay routes across the
country are maintained by members
of this League. Percy Hudson Maxim,
world-famous inventor Of explosives
and the Maxim silencer, is president of
the relay leagues. Managers are ap-
pointed in each state to take care OF
routing for messages in that territory.
The bite of the radio bug, known as
radioitis, is spreading over the coun-
try in wireless epidemic. One of
the peculiar effects of this ailment Is
its effect upon the written English of
the victim. This Is typical radio
bugs letter:
."Dear Ham: Ur sigs hrd hr tonite

CUL Best 73's. RADY o. KNUTT."
Nobody but fellow sufferer could
read that. In business English it
means: "Your signals heard here to-
night very loud No fading. but inter-
ference very bad. Best regards"
With the radio. nothing is impossi-
BILE. This is the assurance given to
the world by scientists who are con-

teries of wireless waves. And as to

In the meantime, Radio Central, the

In the middle ages the coming of
mail Is cause enough for Il Chinese
holiday. Now, drifted snow adds to
Mikes isolation. But Mike Is not
cut off from the world. Not any
more. Without budglng from the side
of the stove in his little prairie dug
out Mike can hear voices, songs and
laughter, city orchestras, organ con-
certs, and on Sundays church services.
Mike has a radio set.
Rev. Il. S. DUNN of Pueblo, Colo, has
purchased Il receiving set for his church.
1t is equipped with a powerful amplifier
and loud speaking device, capable of
filling large auditorium with voices
and music hundreds of miles away.
An aerial for wireless sending and
receiving has been erected at the
Washington Park Community church.
Denver. 1t is one of the best in the
city. 1t is 65 feet high.
The Radio Trade association of Oak

dius of 1000 miles.
Many dances have been given at

A popular newspaper poet recites
his own verses to the delight OF WIDE

So. you see, there is apparently no
limit to the variety of what you pull
out of the air when you listen in.
In the illustrations given herewith
Rev. James Lewis. Denver minister,
is shown reading his sermon into mi
crophone. He will be heard within a
radius of 125 miles. Many little
towns without ministers are getting
the benefit of his sermons. Then they
change the adjustment and pick up
jnzz music from Los Angeles, or a
sacred concert In Stockton, Cal.
Another photograph shows Surgeon
General Hugh S. Cumming of the
United States public health service
inaugurating the first wireless tele-
phone health bulletin service In the
world. Bulletins on health topics
are sent out twice week and may be
caught within a radius of 1,aOO miles
from Washington. When weather Is
particularly good. they may be caught
in California and Europe.
A third picture shows an English In
yentor with what is said to be the
smallest wireless station in the world.
1t can be carried in pocket and has
radius of 100 miles.
So 1t is nowadays that the long,
dreary evenings of winter never are
depressing in the home where wire
less is bringing in concerts. news,
stories and market reports. Some OF
the more enterprising enthusiasts
have transmitted this good cheer with
the aid of the regular telephone to
the homes of their friends who have
