DEAFNESS CONQUERED
BY NEW RADIO IDEA
Wonderful New Invention
Makes It Inexcusable for
Amy One to Remain
Hard-of-Hearing.
SENT ANYWHERE FOR
10 DAYS FREE TRIAL

EeU Y0rk.-A new radio discovery has
been announced here that should bring Joy
to all deaf persons and their families.
Radio scientists have wrought another
miracle. miracle for the deaf-bringing
good hearing at once to poor ears and end
ing the discomfort and embarrassment of
deafness.
In a statement to the press. the radio
engineers responsible for this idea, an
nounce that 1t is embodied in the famous
ACOCSTICON-for 20 years recognized as
the worlds best hearing aid.
In other words. the ACQUISITION is
now based on the same sound-reproduclng
and amplifying principles as the radio
itself-with the deaf person his own
receiving and sending station.
Like the radio, the ACQUISITION has
a transmitter and receiver. Sensitive to
pin drop. So powerful they pick up any
sound the human ear can hear and deliver
IL clearly, distinctly and resonantly to the
impaired auditory nerye.
The makers of the radio built ACOUS-
TIC0N frankly concede that no deaf per-
son can begin to appreciate the marvellous
efficiency Of this little device until he or
she has tried 1t. So they are offering to
send II for 10 days free trial to any deaf
person anywhere without a penny of charge.
They have removed all red tape, requiring
no deposit or payment Of any kind. Simply

it worth while to do it, That is what spiritual
inspiration is.
Ruskin says somewhere that it is great
mistake to suppose that you can be busy just
merely by doing something It must be some
thing worth while or it might better not have
been done at all. 1t is the purpose underlying
life that determines whether or not it is worth
the struggle and the contest. In the great
wrestling match Saturday, one of the contest
ants refused to go on until the trophy was put
where he would get it if he won it. 1t was the
outward badge of victory that he did not pro-
pose to be cheated of. The badge of victory was
worth more to him than the victory. 1t seems
to us that man who has worthy object to
accomplish, dedicates himself and all he is and
has to the accomplishment of that purpose, be-
cause of the purpose, and not because of what
it will gain him That he must gain, and should
gain, is inevitable, if his purpose is right We
have seen it SO often, all of us have, that when
the purpose is ignoble or futile, the gain is,
at the end as worthless as the endeavor.
No man has ever succeeded in business or
any other enterprise anywhere near as well
when his purpose was limited to the dollar at
the end of the day, as have those who set out
to accomplish high ideal and fulfill noble
purpose. There is no business of everyday life
that is not more successful in proportion as it
Is given the daily impetus OF purpose ana prln-
ciple. The first thing business man must
establish before he can hope to succeed, is that
for every one who deals with him there is
square deal. WE'LL that's a fundamental spiritual
inspiration. From that obviously necessary
foundation the more the spiritual principles of
business are developed and applied, the larger
is the material return.
And so, while spiritual inspiration is not
recognized collateral in the loan market, it is
the equipment of everyday life that pays its
own dividends richly and literally, and it is the
one fundamental of human endeavor, without
which all the material collaterals of the world
are of no avail in the final analysis of results.

Daily Health Hint
NEURALGIA? GET A DOCTOR.


Neuralgia of the face may be at
tributed to many different causes.
Some of these are abscessed teeth,
non-erupted teeth, eye strain, diseased
conditions of the nose of adjacent cav
tiles. 1t is aggravated by constipa-
tion and other causes which impair the
general health and increase nervous
irritability.
1t is accompanied by much pain;
tearing, boring pains on one side of
the face, nausea, twitching of the
muscles of the face, and shooting
pains, which radiate from different
points, as the front of the nose, the
eye, forehead, ear and from behind the
ear.
Hot poultices or hot cloths applied to
the face afford some relief. A more
definite relief, however, is obtained by
the injection of alcohol into the nerve
trunk or its vicinity. This calls for
the services of physician.
Frequently the disease returns, after
one thinks he has been permanently
cured. This is due to the fact that the
cause has not been removed
A thorough physical examination
is advised for persons suffering from
neuralgia.

SPIRITUAL INSPIRATIONS.

1t seems to us That the central thought of
the sermon at ST. Mary's Lutheran Church yes
terday morning, was particularly applicable to
the community just at this time. The pastor,
Rev. Ingvard M. Anderson was receiving into
the fellowship of the church a score of newly
confirmed members, and to them he addressed
himself upon the Importance of reliance upon
spiritual growth; not only for it's Importance in
the religious life, but quite as Importantly as
the most substantial force of inspiration in all
the material accomplishments of life that are
worth while
And there could be no more practical adap-
tion of the distinctly spiritual day through
which the whole community had just passed.
Saturday was day of conservation to high
ideals and noble purpose on the part of all of
US, spurred on by the supreme sacrifice of
those memories we met to honor, to f1rmer de-
termination that the ideals for which they died
should be upheld and carried forward. Into
that spirit came with fitting harmony Pastor
Anderson's plea for more reliance on spiritual
inspirations for material accomplishments.
And it is only as we get our vision focused
beyond the mere material, that material ac-
complishment gets its true perspective. The
man who eats merely to eat soon becomes a
glutton. The man who eats that his loins may
be girded with renewed strength, finds use for
that strength which benefits not only him
but all with whom he comes in contact It is
the spirit that is behind what we do that makes

ment that might we'll be emblazoned

ROWeU Says
Bv CHESTER H. ROWELL

The airplane is too valuable an
implement of war to be hoodooed by
over-praise.
1t is not an army or a navy, nor a
substitute for them. 1t is an arm of
them.
1t is a weapon; she'll that can aim
and propel itself hundred miles, and
return for another charge. 1t is a
fighting top a mile high, scout on
the wings of the wind.
Finally, it is the supreme weapon
against other aircraft. These are sure
ly enough to justify increased air serv-
ice, without pretending that it can
supplant the other services.
Even with unlimited aircraft, Of
ideal eff1ciency-consider the things
they could not do!
They might conquer enemy territory,
but they could not occupy it, They
might, in clear weather, repel an at
lacking fleet at our shores, but they
could not go out to sea to meet it..
Neither could they protect commerce
at sea.
Enough carriers might distribute
them over the sea, but these carriers
themselves could not go to sea without
the, protection of battleships. Enough
planes might sink battleship, if they
could hit it.
Make as strong a case for airplanes
as you like; the stronger the better.
You have not thereby made case
against armies and navies; against
forts, guns and tanks, artillery, horse
and motor cavalry, and infantry;
against battleships, cruisers, destroy
ers and submarines.
Neither have you made case for
an air service for the army that is not
of the army or for the navy that is
not of the navy

Tourists Ready to Omen Purses.


American tourists will spend this
year over two million dollars just for
passports, and over eight millions more
for foreign visas on those passports.
Seventy millions is a low estimate
of the summers bill for steamboat
fares. Perhaps ten times that will be
the total cost of American tourist
ing" abroad.
The economic listing of all this
money export ranks it as an "invis-
ible import" of goods. 1t is as if
Eurone had sold us that amount in
excess Of what it bought of US.
In fact, except that much of it is
for services, and that delivery is made
abroad, this is exactly what does hap
pen. We simply buy of Europe, in
this way, to balance against what we
sell.
That is why, in figuring interna-
tional balances, the export of money
is reckoned as an invisible import"
and its import as an export"

Air Age Is Really Here Now.
The air age is here. When adven-

ends of the earth from the air, and the
soberest business men in America put
up ten millions of their own money
for night air service between New
York and Chicago, the day has arriv-

year we shall see, and next year we
will regard as commonplace.

nine-tenths of the airplanes, as it al-

world There will be air liners for the
regular routes, air taxis for wherever
you want to go, and private planes by
the millions.
Never fear. If American peace must
be defended in the air, we will have
the planes to do it. Meantime, the
weapons which we hope never to need
for war will be of daily use in peace.
