Deafness 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 Ly constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an imflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound, ot Imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the In
flamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi
tion. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; uiue cases out of ten are
caused by Catmrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness tcaus
ed by Catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for

JUVENILE STATE
Under the management and direc-
Instltutlon That Will Operate
Under a Georgia Charter.
Under the managqement and direc
tion of the Juvenile Protective Asso
ciation, which holds a charter from
Georgia, the “Juvenile State,’’ which
is to have a peculiarly interesting
charitable mission, will be ready ofr
business on October Ist.
This institution is located on a
farm of 426 acres in Jackson coun
ty, given for the purpose by Dr. L.
G. Hardman. Contracts have just
been let for making certain additions
to a large residence which now
stands on this tract, and which when ’
completed will house the first “citi
zens’’ of the Juvenile State. Its
“governor’’ will be John B. Gentle,
whose own career has given him a
peculiar interest in and sympathy
i with boys, Besides, there will be a
: superintendent, a matron and teach-
I ers.
The purpose of this Institution is
: to provide a home for wayward and
; delinquent children under such con
i ditions and disciples as will train
| them properly and bring out the best
there is in them. The constitution
lof the Juvenile State gives the fol
lowing as its purposes:
j “To teach delinquent and misdi
: rected children the principle of true
self-government; to Insure to them i
justice, preserve peace and foster in
idustry; to promote their various in
terests and permanent happiness; to
j transmit through them to posterity
I true liberty instead of heritage of
: crime, the following constitution of
the uvenile State is ordained and
established with steadfast reliance
upon the manifold blessings of Al-
. mighty God.”
The Juvenile State will be mod
N. Y. At present the associa
tion contemplates only a beginning
j which' will expand and grow as con-
I dltionm and the demands upon it
■ permits and authorize it.
WHY?
From a small beginning the sale
and. use of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy has extended to all parts of
the United States and to many for
eign countries. Why? Because it
has proved especially valuable for
coughs and. colds. For sale by Sum

PAY DAY SECRETS.
I he Whole Office Force In Fear After
the Ghost Walks.
About 150 per cent of that por
tion of mankind is haunted by the
> fear that the life ambition of every
I other person is to get a look at the
i figure behind the dollar mark on
I the obverse side of its pay envel
ope.
j This fear is the F. Gotch of Pan
' icville. The office boy who labors
faithfully —to sidestep labor —and
the general superintendent of the
, whole works waltz down to pick up
; the fruits of their toil with this
horrible fear frisking around them.
Most paymasters are honorable
! men. Not only do they keep mum,
but they slide the pay envelope out
! with its face to flip marble slab.
This, however, is generally per
formed as though the paymaster
had to take it all out of his own
pocket and with an air which says:
“How can you compromise your
conscience by taking so much ?”
Methods of disposing of the pay
envelope vary. Here are ec-me em
ployed by the office boys of a large
Kansas City concern:
The Henry method, invention
of Henry, the $3.58 a week office
boy: Tear the pay envelope into
ribbons about four-sixteenths of an
inch wide, insert in mouth, chew
with teeth until former envelope
becomes a pulpy mass, then roll
into paper wad and insert in right
shoe, inter in some deserted spot,
not necessarily a cemetery. Note.—
If you suspect any one of watching
it is better to swallow the strip
with the telltale numerals on it.
Method employed by Cherry
smith, assistant shipping clerk,
($8.98): Tear or clip envelope until
it resembles the confetti of com
merce. Put into pocket and hold
until you go home in afternoon.
Then take in hand and carelessly
drop 3 (two) bits from the car win
dow at alternate street corners.
What is considered the one abso
• lutely sure method, discovered by
George Peas, an obscure salesman
($10): Take envelope in right hand.
Strike match —any brand will do—
n trousers or sole of shoe. Ignite
v. ’ope and cremate.
enve. ne of the traditions of this
It is o. 'v that every employee,
same corona,. -d manager down,
from the genet, velope system,
be paid by the eu at 10:30
The manager gets hi. ng. It
o’clock on Saturday raorm. 'ope
comes in a tailor made enve.
that looks like a paper mail sack.
It is a popular Saturday recreation
for employees to happen along to
see the manager as he opens it.
Manager, after tilling bis pockets
with currency, puts the envelope
in his inside vest pocket. But he
must dispose of it. Let us watch
him.
At quitting time he descends to
where his motorear and imported
chauffeur await him.
“Go home by wav of the Cliff
drive, Armand.”
As' they reach the quieter por
! tions of the city the manager points
i out to the chauffeur what seems to
j be an airship over in themeighbor
; hood of Saturn. As the unsuspect
ing driver looks the manager slips
the pay envelope from, his pocket.
When 'they reach the drive the
manager says:
“Let ’er out a notch land watch
your turns!”
! Then, eying the indifferent chauf
' feur closely, he tears little pieces
from that envelope and pushes
them mercilessly over the cliff. He
j is usually nervous for a day or two
i after dissecting the envelope, for
i there is a chance of being followed
by some one ■who may gather the
pinhead’lbits together, piece out the
envelope and —nab the secret!
Kansas (City Times.
A Royal Fowl.
In England under an old law still
in force the swan is a royal fowl,
as -.whales, and sturgeons are royal
fish. All -swans the property where
of is not otherwise definable when
within theyßritish. dominions belong
to the crown by virtue of this pre
rogative. When swans are lawfully
taken into the possesion of a pri
vate person such person may be said
to have a property in them, but if
they; be at liberty they belong to,
the -crown. Formerly it was neces
sary’for parsons who wished to keep
these “royal fowls” to obtain a
swan mark, which was granted by
the crown and which could not-be
legally impressed without grant or
prescription.
The Wit of Evarts.
Once when twitted on his> small
size by a statesman of the strenu
ous type the late William M.,Evarts
retorted, “That remark proves
what 1 have always asserted—that
in your eyes measures were more
important than men.”
To another critic, who found
fault with his habit of stringing
out a whole paragraph without a
break by the use of parenthetical
clauses, he said cheerfully, “I have
noticed that criminals object to
long sentences.”
Why Druggists Recommend Chamber
lain’s Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhoea Remedy.
Mr. Frank C. Harahan, a prominent
druggist of Portsmouth, Ya., says:
“For the past six years I have sold
and recommended Chamberlain’s Col-
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It
**-• -at remedy and one of the best
is a g>x ! cines on the market. I
patent meu. rs for same pur .

cure and my customers are so v.
to appreciate my recouHnending it tv
them, that 1 give it the preference.’’
