Leafuess Cannot be Cured
by- local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
I mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube,
i When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely- closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, bearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of teu are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur-
I faces.

Tho little non of L.-iw Director Hogaett
evidently believes that there are occasions'’
when the good citizen is justified In tak
ing the law into his own hands.
Every night before retiring the little
chap carefully places a toy pistol beneath
his pillow.
Os course they have laughed at him,
telling him thaj: ho might wake up some
line morning and find that pistol, pillow
ami all had disappeared together.
For ho certainly has tho reputation of a
sound sleeper.
lint th,-other ■ . '4 his mother awoke
and remembered t’ . something had been
left unlocked in th. lower part of tho
house. So she quietly stole down the
stairs and attended to the errand. She
was on her way back and was slowly
ascending the stairs when a hoarse little
whisper assailed her ears:
“Who’s that?”
She looked up quickly, and there on tho
top step, outlined against tho gloom, stood
a tiny white figure. And the figure’s arm
was outstretched, and in the small hand
was a gleaming toy pistol.
Os course ho knew her as soon as she
spoke and was presently back in bed
again, with his precious shooting iron be
neath his head.
At tho table next morning he gravely
remarked:
“It was a mighty lucky thing for you,
mamma, that you spoke when you did.”

Dally Life of the Busy Actress.
Tho actress has little time for social life.
The more successful she is tho less leisure
she has and the greater inroads her work
makes upon her time and strength. It is
often a genuine regret to have to decline
much of tho delightful hospitality extend
ed to her, but this is a denial she must
urge upon herself, according to her own
good judgment, whether it must always
be work first and play afterward. She has
no right to come to her evening’s work
fagged and tired from a round of teas and
calls. She injures herself and her art, and .
she is not dealing fairly with her audience.
She is up late every night, and, although
I do not ix'lieve in wasting a whole morn
ing In bed, she cannot have more than
sufficient sleep if she breakfasts at 10, and
if sho is wise she will take a rest before
her early dinner. She must remember
that her health and strength mean every
thing to her. —Viola Allen in Ladies’
Home Journal.
Pitts’ Carminative is pleasant to the
taste, acts promptly, and never fails to
give satisfaction. It carries children over
the critical time of teething, and is the
friend oi anxious mothers and puny chil
dren. A few doses will demonstrate its
value. E. H. Dorsey, Athens, Ga., writes :
“I consider it the best medicine I have ev
er used in my family. It docs all you
claim for it, and even more.”
The Lawlessness at Griffin.
The business men of Griffin are
acting wisely in taking prompt and
energetic measures to -tamp out the
lawlessness which cropped out there a
few days ago- When the members of
the lawless gang art discovered it will
be found doubtless that they are mtn
and boy- who have nothing at stake in
the community, and who are compara
tively worthless as citizen-.
Such characters, by underlai n g, in
secret and under cover of darkness, to
I discipline law-abiding citizens or to
drive them from their h rms, i ar, do
the city a vast amount of harm. If
| they are m t pr rrq tly checked and
vigorously dealt with when discovered,
. they will become bolder, and attempt ;
Ito do openly, and on a larger scale
liw ns things similar to those they*
i now do eecretiy.

REGARDLESS OF AGE.
The kidneys are responsible for more
sickness, suffering, and deaths than any
oth : organs of the body.
A majority of the Ills afflicting people
today is traceable to kidney trouble. It
pervades all classes of society, in all cli
mates, regardless of age, sex or condition.
Tn '-’mptonas of kidney trouble are un
mistak T , c uch as rheumatism,neuralgia
sleep!*--, acta, pain or dull ache in the back
a desire to urinate often day or night, pro
fuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing pois
oned and germ-filled blood. Sometimes
the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wast
ing of the kidneys) are found in the urine,
which if neglected will result ig Bright’s
Disease, the most dangerous form of kid
ney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. It has a world
wide reputation for its wonderful cures of
the most distressing cases.
