CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
is often caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or hnp‘r{oet
hearing. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced, your hearing may be de
stroyed forever.

What A Woman
Can Do.
A contemporay tells us, in the|
Northeastern corner of Olio, t.hel
other duy, a woman smiled as pain
left her racked hody=—smiled and
died, and the mortal part of her was
laid away to be forgotten by man
kind. .
And the thoughts comeon life and
death, and the reasons for existen“e
and the measure of success, and
how best to live to make living
worth while,
Listen! For forty years a woman
was bedeidden. Forty years !How
old are yon? Perhaps you can esti
mate the Jength of the days and the
nights that this woinan was crippled.
Almost a lifetime. Death claimed
Al but the hands and heart and
hrain, and still left her great power.
There are wonderful folks in this
good world. They live and do, and
make joy for others, even when
robbed of health that is priceless.
Beethoven by many is believed to
haye been ths master of music. He
was totally” deaf.
Robt. Louis Stevenson wrote words
that charmsd humanity, with dis
ease sapping his strength, and his
song was as sweet and true as the
notes of a bird.
John Milton wrote ‘‘Paradise
f,ost’’ when the light had gone out
the windows of hissoul, and he sung
well and for the ages.
And this woman who suffered for
10 years, who lacked wealth, found
joy in helping others With nimble
fingers she knitted a thousand com- 1
forts. She even established Jibra
bries; she hecame the friend of =mall
children wholoved to linger at her
bedside. She had learning and she
helped those who were backward in
education. She was busy every
waking hour. The day a telephone
was placed at her bedside and she
was able to get in touch with the
world, she thanked God fervently
for this new evidence of His mercy.
She was always cheerfnl. She kept
her sorrows hidden. She fought
the blue days with. her sublime
faith in her Creator. She smiled.
She cheered. There was a world of
sunshine in her withered breast and
ghe gave it freely to all.
You eannot measure good by any
buman rule. It is limitless 't is
a 3 big as space.
And surely, on the great record,
opposite the name of this afflicted
woman, it m.ust be wriiten in letters
of gold: ‘"With love in her heart
for all mankind she served well.”-—!

GROWN FROM STOLEN SEEDS
- S
Rubber Trees Still Standing in Equa
torial Forest Have Had Remark
able Adventures.
When the value of rubber was first
being exploited, British interests made
an expedition to Brazil with the view
of securing specimens and acclimatiz.
Ing the rubber plants to the lands of
India. The Brazilians, appreciating
the value of their monopoly, refused
to allow the export of seeds or plants,
but by some underhand methods 70,00¢
seeds were secured and smuggled out
of the country.
Rubber seeds are perishable, and
lest they should spoil on the way te
Ceylon they were taken the shorter
distance—to London. !
On landing in London, the guardian
of the seeds drove in a hansom cab
to Kew gardens. It was the middle
of the night when he arrived there
but the seeds were planted at once
One In ten germinated, and a yeal
later 1,700 of the plants were sent
{n miniature hothouses to Ceylon.
A botanical garden was opened for
their reception at a little place called
Heneratgoda In the equatorial foresi
There the survivors stand today. You
look at these large old trees with 8
sort of wonder when you think of the
adventures they went through in the
early days, and that from their prog
eny the great rubber industry of the
East has sprang up.

An amusing anecdote in Lord Fred:

Highlanders, who shortly after arriv

The most optimistic mosguito had
never imagined such a succulent ban

resounded with the vigorous clapping

their little tormentors.
Hearing the loud clapping, the min.

The ealety section of the American Railway Association s announced ita ‘Cureful Croksing
Campnign’’ to be in progress from June,l to September 30, In the past, these four months have the
worat third of the year for motor vehicle grade-crossing accidents, In preparation for the campaign,
the country has been covered with posters and stickers beuring a picture of agrade-crossing. scene,
showing a locomotive in the act of striking an” automobile -occupled by men, women and children.
Above the picture are these words in large letters: ‘‘Cruse Crossings Cautiously.”
* » . . » ; . " !.*‘ y
The publie will understand the seriousness of _this\problem when itis explained that the number
of motor vehicles registered in the Unitéd States iucréased from 1,033,096 in 1912 to 10,449,785 in
1921. There is now one motor vehicle for every ten persons in the United States, :
5 Vb b : ,
Some believe that it is the duty of the rg’glroidu to protect motor vehicle ugers from their own
carelessness by separating the grades at erossing. Thére are 252,000~ railway grade crossings in the
United States. It has been estimated that it will cost $12,870,000,000 to eliminate them, or two
thirds of the total value of the railroads as established by the Interstate Commerce Commiseion for
yate making purposes. It will be seen, therefore, that grade-crossing elimination is out of the question,
at least for a long time to come, 1f the drivers-of motor vehiele can beeducated to *'Stop, Look and
Listen’’ at crossings, this will give the sume result as the expenditure of $12,600,000,000, 50 far as
safety is concerned B i e - N ¥ T R
The railroads have made splendid progress in relueing the numter ol accide.ats resulting
in injury to their passengers and emiployes. However, motor vehicle grade-crossing accidents have
been steadily increasing for years. These actidents are caused’almost entirely by the negliance of
motor vehicle drivers, and for that reason the efforts of the railrdads to rednce them have been unavaili ng.
T ol -

During 1920 there were 3,012 automobiles struck on grand crossings. In these accidents there
were 1,273 persons killed and 3,977 persons injured. If the drivers of the motor vehizle involved in
these accidents had ‘‘Stopped, L.ooked aud Listened’’ at the crossings, not one of the accidents would
have occurred. ‘ v ,
A motor vehiele in the hands of a careful driver in an agency for safely. It can be drivea up
close to the railway track and stopped in perfect safety—differing from horse-drawn vehicles in that
respect. : ; S :

The Central of Georgia Railway heartily approves the ‘‘Careful Crassing Campaign’’- of the
safety section of the American Railway Ascociation. .Wq appeal to our patrona and friends and our
employes to cu-operate in every way pascible to make the campaign successful.’ : |
We want the public to know us and what westand for. Our motto is “Service.” By co
