DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of ttic car
There Is only one way lo cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflaiui d condition of the mucous lin
ing of tho Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have u
rumbling sound or Imperfect hearing,
and when It Is entirely closed. Deaf
ness Is tho rseult, and unless the In
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Love Affair.

l>nn Hewllng, graduate of Harvard,
famous athlete and popular society
man. startled Ills aristocratic Intimates
l>y refusing to follow the smoothly
beaten trail prepared by his progeni
tor and by starting In literally at the
bottom of the mill.
The mill, a plant manufacturing cot
ton thread, was situated In a little far
away New England town that no one
had ever heard of until Pan discov
ered it.
While his friends and family stood
around amazed or weeping Dan laugh
ingly gave his dress stilt a farewell
pat and Instructed his man to fold his
brand new overalls carefully. lie
wouldn't have them creased for any
thing. Fancy making one's tlrst ap
pearance in mussed up overalls! It
would blight his whole career.
ltut the following Monday morning,
when lie groped his way down to the
factory In the sunless dawn, the situa
tion seeuied less comic than he had
pictured It. Dan was no i|ulttcr, how
ever. Ilo proved that as the long,
arduous days went by.
The inysterj i>< his friends was on
seeing him over an occasional week
end that lie appeared not only plucky
and determined to make a success of
his work, but actually happy.
No amount of comradely Interest in
Ills fellow laborers, no more appre
ciation of simple country life, they ar
gued, could account for that.
And they were guite right.
The direct cause of Dan's enthusi
asm over Ills work was Mary Hrowu.
She worked in the room where he was
now overseer, but for several weeks
they had worked as second bauds side
/
"IT WAS ONI.Y A SECOND HAND ON*,"
LAtllHU" nt.SlK.
by side mid exchanged the scant cour
tesies of each working day as U
passed. <i radually Dan fell Into the
habit <>f walking home with Mary at
night, their boarding places being
near together.
Their conversation at tlrst centered
around their one mutual Interest? their
daily work. About herself Dan could
not make Mary talk. She seemed shy
and embarrassed, but she was evi
dently genuinely pleased with his rapid
promotion.
In the wholesome presence of this
pretty, bright, unsophlstocated girl
Pan came to feel himself letter under
stood. more stimulated and more con
tented than with any one he had ever
known. In fact, he woke suddenly to
the fact that he loved her.
With this realization cauie the seri
ous contemplation of his future. What
would his family say If he should tell
them that he contemplated marrying a
"si ml hand" In the mill?
Win was lie not free to act Inde
pendent of all the rest of the world?
Here was lie. young and strong and
bound to make his way. And here was
Mary, young and strong, too. and
beautiful and the one human being to
ward whom his soul yearned. Why
should any one else matter?
"Mary." he began earirstly as they
were tramping along a country road
one mild winter Sunday? every one
called her Mary "are you happy here
In this little town?"
She glanced up at hlin quickly, her
cheeks all glowing from the brisk pace
they had been going.
"Of course I am!" she laughed.
"What a silly question!"
"IIow can you be?" he urged so ve
hemently that It startled her.
"Why." she answered slowly, evi
dently thinking out her reply as she
spoke, "I'm interested in my work.
That's the main reason, I suppose."
"What are the others?" Dan de
manded.
"And 1 like the people I work with,"
she added frankly.
"All the people," he probed, "or
some one In particular?"
"I did not mention any names." she
evaded, laughing lightly.
"I noticed you didn't," Dan contin
ued. entirely unabashed. "Rut In my
opinion the main reason for being hap
py Is liking some one In particular."
"And are you happy?" Mary asked
naively.
"Very." Dan replied, so emphatically
that Mary Involuntarily glanced up at
hlin and then Immediately looked
away again, her heart thumping hard.
"And 1 am going to mention names,
Mary," he said, smiling at her ten
derly. "I nm going to do more than
that. I'm going to ask .vou to change
yours."
Mary gave a little start of surprise,
nud ber cheeks flushed still more
rosily.
"1 have already changed It," she
sitld in a voice so low that Dan Jost
caught the words. "Please let us for
get this this little episode, 'Mr. Hew
ling, l know I haven't played fair. I
ought to have told you before, but I
didn't know It would make any dif
ference."
'Any difference!" Pan echoed bit
terly. And for a long time they walked
on In silence.
"We are going to be good friends,
aren't we, Just the same?" Mary ven
tured at length, her lips trembling.
Dan steadied himself.
"Of course." he said. "It has been
all my fault. You have played per
fectly fair. There was no reason why
you should have mid mo anything."
The following Saturday Mewling
took the train for bis native city. He
felt that he needed a change of sur
rounding*. He had Just tossed his
suit case up Into the rack and was
about to settle down when he saw
Mary get Into the car. Rut she did
not see him.
So she was seeking a change too.
He had a dozen minds as to whether
he should Join her or not. but finally
decided not to.
lie changed his seat# however, so
that he could watch her more closely.
Although she had a magazine, be no
ticed that she did not read It, but con
tlmud to stare out of the window, al
most immovable.
He noticed, too. how exquisitely pret
ty she looked In spite of her plain,
unfashionable costume. Something of
the \ iking spirit took possession of
him for a moment and made lilui feel
like leaping on to the engine and car
rying her off at terrltlc speed Into
some big, undiscovered kingdom.
Suddenly? or so It seemed to Hew
Ilng the train came to a standstill
and people began to leave the car.
hen the crowd had passed bj him
he looked agaiu for Mary. She had
gone too. Jerking down his suit case
and snatching up his overcoat. Hew
ling made a mad dash off the train,
landing almost In the midst of a
Rroup of laughing girls on the plat
form.
"Well. Dan Hcwllng!" exclaimed one
of them, shaking hands with him cor
dially. "Where did you come from?
Is that your usual way of alighting
from trains? Oh. Klsle," she called
after one of the girls? they bad all
very tactfully withdrawn - "come back
here. You must let me Introduce Dan

At this Klsle l anders looked up at
Dan appeallugly, and her friend
stared at the two In astonishment.
"You don't mean that you -oh. how
romantic! I'll never say another
word against that crazy socialistic
scheme of yours, Klsle. She's writing
a thesis, as I suppose you know. Dan.
on- what is It on. Klsle? I never
could remember."
"It doesn't matter." laughed Klsle.
"I've almost forgotten myself."
"Then you nren't going back to that
dlngv little town any more?"
Elsie's eyes met Dan's In a flash of
mutual comprehension.
"Oli, I can't promise that? because,
you see. the overseer thinks a lot of
me. and I think he's going to promote
me."
"You bet he is!" came f:om Dan so
explosively that the secret was out In
a minute.
"Oli. Klsle. you fraud!" exclaimed
her chum. "The idea of your having
such a perfectly original romance and

"It was only a second hand one."
laughed Klsle.
But only she and Dan understood,
squeezing hands on the sly as Klsle's
chum went in to break the news to
the others.
Jewish Longevity.
Superficial scrutiny of the vital sta
tistics yields the .lew a prominent po
sition In the sanitary world. If longev
ity serves as any Index of hygienic liv
ing. With the average length of life
for all Christian people placed at thir
ty-six years eleven months (1000) the
Jew may hope to reach forty-eight
years nine months.
Xeufvllle (1SSS), Inquiring Into the
comparative duration of life and causes
of deaths of Jews and Christians In
Frankfort, learned that one-fourth of
the Jewish population was living be
yond seventy-one years, while only
one-fourth of their neighbors was liv
ing beyond the ago of fifty-nine years
ten months. Abbott claims that "they
(I. e. lews* are much less frequently
the subjects of tubercular and acute
epidemic diseases than any other race
of mankind."
Why should this seeming vital su
l>erlorlty exist? According to Rich
ardson. "the causes are simply summed
up In the term 'soberness of life.' The
Jew drinks less than his 'even Chris
tian;' he takes, as a rule, letter food:
he marries earlier: he rears the chil
dren he has brought Into the world
with greater personal care; he tends
the aged more thoughtfully: he takes
better care of his poor and he takes
better care of himself." To this might
have been added that through re
ligious customs hygienic tendencies
became an Inheritance.? Dietetic and
