Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as tliey cannot reach the
diseased portion of tha ear. There la only ona
way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitution
al remedies. Deafneas is caused by an Inflamed
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Toba. When thia tuba is inflamed jou bare a
rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafueas fa the result, and
unless tha inflammation can be taken out and
thla tub# restored to its normsl condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forerer: nine cssea oat of
t*n are caused by Catarrh, which la nothing bnt
an hflatrtd condition of the mucous aurfacea.
We will glre One Hundred Dollars for any cass
of Deafness (paused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu

They Need Red Blood
In proof of the assertion that this
inentn' condition Is principally a re
action of the physical, there have
been several cases in the Penn build
ing alone where the children have re»
turned from the Open-Alr Schools or
fron Mont Alto with rosy cheeks,
sparkling eyes and quick ready
brains. They had been «lven a sup
ply of good red blood and they showed
it.
A few years ago there lived in the
very heart of the city a little family
circle of six who were comparatively
happy, thrifty and content. Then death
claimed the bread winner. After his
taking, the widow struggled to keep
things going but nature had made her
unfitted for the role of caretaker.
She was one of those incapable wo
mert wlioee lives must be sheltered
and guarded by stronger hands. Uttle
by little she grew discouraged and
step by step she sank. Hera in the
end of the story as one of the teach
ers told it:
"I knew who they were because
they were from the country back
there near my home and I knew they
were good people." she said. "Some
times when I looked into those four
pinched, peaked, hungry little faces
1 Ju»t rould not stand It any longer
and 1 would gather them up and take
them home with me for a good warm
meal. Then my mother and I would
make up a bag of plain wholesome
things like potatoes, flour and cab
bane and give It to them. Their
mother was proud and it used to
make her very angry. Do you know,
she actually sent me rude, unkind
notes shout It but I did not mind be
cause I understood.
One Christmas For Them
"One Christmas I told the children
to come to my home. They did and
I shall never forget how they looked.
They were shivering and hungry and
positively in perfect rags. My brother,
a big, s}tern man, who is not easily
moved broke down and cried at the
sight of tnose forlorn little tots that
Christmas morning. I simply had lo
140 into another room. I could not
stand It. Finally things got so bad
that three of the children were taken
away .from the mother and-placed In
homes, one boy was left with h«r.
Just lately he came to school smelling
strongly of cigaret smoke. When
the principal reprimanded him he
caid:
" 'Honest I don't smoke! It's
Mother.' And It was. \
"She drinks, too, now, and there
is not much hope for her, I am
afraid."
Perhaps not for her, poor soul, but
what of those little lives Just start
ing?
season within a stone's throw
of one of our churches lived a man
whose children attended public school
and in the depth of winter he had In
his pocket exactly ten cents with
which to provide a meal for his wife,
himself and five little ones.
"Do you see that boy?" asked a
teacher Indlcutlng n lad of nine or
ten. "He comes to school every day
with his hands dreadfully dirty be*
cause he la compelled to ipen4 Ma
spare time along the tracks plcklna
coal to keep him warm at home. 1
know he is often hungry. And that
poor pinched little girl in the third
row is the child of a drunkard and
shows she is only half fed."
With such cases as these all aAaut
us seen, understood and met chiefly
by the klndheartedness of young
teachers are we indeed, as our critio
expressed it. "in any position to eur
gest to Philadelphia?" *
