Lose no chance of giving pleas- c

you think others should live, and j
you’ll be pretty nearly perfect.
The pawnbrokers are complain
ing because the country is becom

For fear you have overlooked it,
it might be said that there are 21,
988,000 milch cows in the United
States according to statistics just
compiled by the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
Two men said to have been im
plicated in the murder of eighteen
Americans in Mexico the other day
have been executed by order of
Carranza and their bodies exposed
to public view in order that proof
of their death cannot be doubted.
This is two deaths to make up for
scores of Americans who have
been killed by bandits and revolu
tionists during the past several
months. Let the crusade against
the murderers proceed. And
Americans will breathe more safe
ly when they are shown the proof
of the death of Villa, the most con-1
summate villain of them all. i

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local application*, as thiy cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
Is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caustd by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
■ the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
I inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
! imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
i closed. Deafness »s the result. Unless the
I 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
j faces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts thru the
! blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys
: tem.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
I any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
' be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Circulars
free. All Druggists, 75c.

Grapefruit is so called because it
is grown in clusters not unlike a
mammoth bunch of grapes.
Whooping Cough
“The disease I most dread is Whoop
ing Cough, for children are often perma
nently injured by the awful straining of
♦he cough. You should never neglect
it, and treatment should be started at the hrst symptom. You
cannot mistake the symptoms: protracted coughing, worse at
night; peculiar whoop; labored expectoration of mucus; ap
parent suffocation after coughing.
‘Graacy” Chamberlain
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
is a positive remedy for this disease—repeat the dose frequently,
for if given freely it liquifies the tough mucus, makes it easy to
expectorate and counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia.
There is no danger whatever from Whooping Cough when
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is freely given."

its a real bargain because it is sold at a popular
price: because it gives you the kind of sewing
you delight in? because it will turn out the work
quickly and thoroughly and give you a life time
of satisfactory service; because its improvements
will enable you to do things which can’t be done
on any other machine; because it will please you
with its fine finish and beauty of its furniture.
In short you will find the White reliable and
desirable from everv oninf of view.
Be sure to see the White dealer -who will be glad to show you how good a
machine the White is. If there is no White dealer handy, write us direct for cat
alogs. We do not sell to catalog houses. Vibrator and Rotary Shuttle Machines.

It is certainly true that no one
knows the resources of his own mind
and body until some great sense of
duty comes to him, rousing him to
play his part well in the work of life.
There are unused capacities in brain
and nervous system, in mind and tnor
al nature that are capable of develop
ment and effective use. Who knows
the potentiality of life force in him
self until he gives it opportunity for
full expression?—Exchange.
