M. 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 culars free. All Druggis'*. 76c. i'. J CHBNI.I' . Cu.

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 AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
