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 catarrhal deafness,
and that 1b by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a t umbling sound or im
perfect hearing, 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 condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the bleed on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal D.afnesa that cannot
be cured by Hail s Cai.arr'n Medicine. Cir

Marcel Gets His
Bam Mended
Red Cross Helps This 15 Year
Old French Boy—and His
Family.
«
Marcel is a man. He is just fifteen
years old, but yet he is a man. 1 say
he Is a man because in the last four
years’ time has burned Into his child
heart marks that should wait for stern
er maturity. He is a man because he
has the responsibility of a woman. He
has no father. The Germans saw to
that. Marcel has had to sFaha by and
see his small brothers and baby sister
ask in vain for food while he fought
off the pressing call from his growing
boy’s stomach. He has had to see
tears from his mother's eyes drop on
the plowed ground as she worked the
soil his father would have tilled had
he not gone away out of the peaceful
ness of the Marne valley into the iron
hail of the Alsne and on Into the here
after.
The boy, who was now a man, work
ed hard, yes, too hard. With his hair
less hands and his boy's strength he
fought almost alone the unequal fight
against want with what little help bls
frail mother could give.
Mother Can Keep Children.
One of the 70 or 80 local societies
in France, handicapped by lack of
funds because deluged by calls for
help, tried to relelve the family by tak
ing away the children. But to the tor
ture twisted brain of the woman this
seemed like losing all she had.
And then when everything seemed
lost and despair came they heard the
news: “No, It could not be true.
They help them with food and
clothing? They would till the soil?
Mend the barns and stay near by to
see that things went well?" Yes. and
the children could stay, said the Red
Cross, as they bad said to hundreds
of others.
That was two years ago. Today this
family Is self supporting and has some
to spare for the more needy ones, who
still are being helped. Little Jean Is
taller. He looks well fed—and he is
well fed. The baby is so roily poly
that the dimples have come again.
They are In good spirits—on their feet
once more.
And MarceL He has finished the
course that the Red Cross gave him
in an agricultural school. It Is he who
has been running the farm so well. He
did It all. At least they let him think
so, for heaven knows he has seen the
bottom of the bitter cup. And I know
that the Red Crosa will want me to
say he did It, for that is the way they
work—quietly, earnestly, efficiently,
without stint, without waste, without
boast

Word From Headquarters.
“When, where and how will the wai
end?” “I don’t know,” replied the land
lord of the Petunia tavern. “However
the young ladies and gents of the
senior class of the village academy,
several of whom are over sixteen years
of age and have been outside of the
county a time or two, are going to set
tle the entire question in a debate to
night. I understand, too, that while
they are at it they will fix things so
there will never be any more wars. So
I shall be able to inform you in full
tomorrow morning.”

Japanese Proverbs.
Proverbs have great influence with
the Japanese in their daily lives, ac
cording to a writer in the Christian
Register. Among their countless ad
these, with their English equlv
alents, are quoted. “Some insecte
feed upon smartweed'’ (There is nc
accounting for tastes). “If in a hurry,
go round” (The more haste, the less
speed). “Live under your own hat”
(Let well enough alone). “The mouth
is the front gate to misfortune" (Tin
tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity).
