One Element in Saving
the Boy.
Some people are never industrious
in life because they started in too
late to learn how to work. The for-
mative period of their lives was near-
lv past before they came into pos-
session of the idea that they would
have to do something.
With many persons all work seems
drudgery, and they get no satisfac-
tion out of it. The statement that
idleness is a curse is so trite and com-
mon that it ought hardly to be ex-
pressed, yet so many lives are ruined
and unfruitful of good results because
those persons in very early life had
no work of any kind to do.
School work is all right, but it only
goes half way and hardly that; the
child even a few years old should
have some daily task to perform and
with the years the burden of It
should be increased. Pay the child
for his service and charge him some-
thing for the things you do for him.
Let him get a saving account, but
have him to understand that he will
have some expenses too. Let them
learn how much work they would
have to do to really earn a nickel, and
then, may be, they would not want
to spend them so fast.
There is a wonderful amount of
value to the character of the young
if they have to do work that hurts
them to do it at first. And further-
more, while they are at good honest
toil they are not tempted to do ques-
tionable things. Study, work, play
should be a trinity in the makeup of
the life of childhood and youth.
REVEREND HOWE
WAS NOT MEANT.
In the last week’s issue of The Com-
mercial under the caption, ‘‘Be
Loyal to your own Town,’’ the Edi-
tor made use of an expression that a
visiting clergyman to Johnstown and
a former pastor in that place, had
made in an address there. The ex-
pression was such an extrayagant
complimentary one to that clty and
proportionately uncomplimentary of
all other places that one coming from
there to this place, if he had made
use of the statement quoted, would
need some vindication.
The Editor took the expression
from a Johnstown paper and com-
mented upon it, he not knowing what
the name of the minister is, but
some readers of The Commercial
knowing that Rey. Howe, the much
appreciated and talented pastor of
the Church of the Brethren, of this
place, said that he is the minister to
whom the item referred, inasmuch
as he had just recently been to the
Flood City, and was lately a pastor
there.
Briefly and succinctly stated, Rev.
Howe used no such remarks in
his visit there, and for that reason he
is not the minister in question and
furthermore, Rev Howe while pleased
with Johustown was very glad to
come here to live and he believes in
Meyersdale, and he has never found
any fault with any place where his
lot has been cast.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional reme-
dies. Deafness is caused by an infiam-
ed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear-
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases oub of ten are caused by Ca-
tarrh, which is nothing bat 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
Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

to the story of a Mexican seryant,
who made his escape, was tortured

Two carloads of wild {urkeys are
to be placed in the State forest re-
serves east of DuBois this fall. Sev-
eral hundred birds are to be liberated

care and protection the birds will
increase fast and provide plenty of
good sport in the course of a few
years.
Ralph Fickes, aged <1, of Weyandt,
Bedford county, was the first victim
of a hunting accident in that county
this season, he having been shot and
fatally wounded on Bald ridge, about
two miles west of Pavia, at noon on

He died several hours later at Queen,

plate offerings fail to come up to that
