About five years ago my right ear began to aing, and thia kept ou getting worse, until I lost my hearing in thi« ear entirety. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three month«, without any success, consulted« num­ ber of physicians, among others, the mo-t eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me. and even that only temporarily, that the head uoiaes would then cer.se, but the hearing in the affected car would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat­ ment. After I had used It only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day. after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored.

Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis­ courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid­ neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be bom t* afflicted with weak kid­ neys. If the child urip- --------- --- ates too often. If the urine scalds the fl*sh or if. when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis­ erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root Is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty­ cant and one dollar sizes.

EAST - - • and SOUTH The recent robbery of the Chicago postoflice and the possibility that the robbers will dispose of 174,000 worth of stolen stamps has called attention afresh to the need of some kind of sub­ sidiary currency which can be sent through the malls. It was never in­ tended that stamps be used as money, yet the enormous growth of the mall order business has really brought that result about. The mall order con­ cerns accumulate large quantities of stamps, and to convert them Into mon­ ey often have to sei* at a discount Thus a “stamp trade" has sprung up which enables burglars to dispose of stolen stamps with little danger of de­ tection. The next congress will doubt­ less be called upon to consider plans for relieving this situation. <)»<»• treatment doe» not interfere with your ueual occupation. Oregon. ■omet In Rod Men’« Butldtnf.

What's he take me for?” “What else did he say?’ Inquired the Interviewer. “Ob, the log cabin to Wlilte House kind of thing. He’s hot on heroes. If you ask me, I think heroes are a good deal too much cracked up. If I got the chance to be a hero tomorrow, I wouldn’t I know chaps that would— but not me.” “Why not?” “Well, take Instances. Know any Roman history? No? Lucky beggar! Wish I didn't have to know any my­ self. In Roman history there was a hero called Curtius—Jumped down a hole and did for himself. There was another called Declus that went and 4jot himself killed by the enemy. That would be all right if you could come to life again, but you can’t And when you’re dead it doesn't seem to me to matter much whether people are cheer­ ing you and praising you and crack­ ing you up or whether they’re not Besides, you can't go on with any­ thing else. When you’re dead, you stop sp. When I do anything good, I want something good for it and no rotten ^heroism. And I believe., every man of”sense thiqka.the,same. Som? time ago I swallowed a three^Wny"bit because a boy said I daren't. You see, I was a good deal more of a kid than I am now. It was rather silly of me^ an^ It was silly of the'other boy, too,’ be­ cause it was his threepence. And It wasn’t properly his threepence, because It had been given him for the offertory. The offertory had to do without It However, as I was saying. I swallowed It That got me a bit looked up to by other chaps. If you aren’t afraid of swallowing a threepenny bit, then fel­ lows are careful how they get trying larks with you. One of the big chaps came up to me and asked If I did it and whep I said ’Yes’ he said. ‘Silly young devil!’ He’s spoken to me again since then, and he’s a chap who practi­ cally never speaks to kids.” The Interviewer suggested that he­ roes did not always die In the act “No; I suppose they don’t I believe it would be lietter if they did. They can’t keep It up to that level. They can’t do the heroic every day. They've got to get into rows and go short of money, Just like anybody else, then they're disappointed. You don’t hear much about that In the books or from the Rev. James Dll water, bnt you can see for yourself that’s how It would be. Heroism's like a lot of other things. If you’ve not got it. you don't want it. If you’ve ever li.nl It, yon can't do without It. It’s so with smoking. There was a time when I'd never tried it and didn’t care to try it.” The Interviewer felt It his duty to ex­ press a pious nope that that time still existed. “Look here! I've had half an hour of Mr. Dilwater. Don’t you begin too. It's Just occasionally when I feel the need of It. I don’t brag about it as some boys do. boys that have never smoked the whole of a cigarette all at one time. But we weren’t talking abou that.” —sxttfr “No. with regard to heroism”— “Yes. there's another tiling. If boys get to be awfully good at anything and are tremendously praised for it, they generally get so cocky there’s no do; Ing anything with them. It must be tby same yfciUi heroes, n^ough the books take jolly~good careTo keep that dark. Nice sort of man Horatius mujt have been after he’d kept the bridge in the brave days of old! Of course he put on some. He couldn't help it' Nobody could. If the truth were known, I be­ lieve there’s lots of people owe their ruin to an act of heroism. You’d nev­ er guess that from the way Mr. Dil­ water talks, but 1 keep my eye» open and think out things for myself.” “Surely,” said the Interviewer, “this Is principally hypothesis. As a matter of fact”— •'What’s hypothesis? And there’s another thing. I shouldn’t like my pure minded and noble example to be rammed down the thriftts of 11 lot of other boys that had never done any­ thing to me. When a thing gets rub­ bed Into you too much, you bate It. That’s how it is with me and heroism. What with the books my aunts give me on my birthday and at Chrlstmaa and what with Mr. Dilwater*s Interesting Illustrations of what a little boy can do I’ve bad too much heroism. You won’t catch me standing on any burn­ ing deck when all but me had fled. Don’t expect It. I've got too much re­ gard for other boys. They don't want to have me slung Into poetry for them to lie made to learn by heart. No fear! They don't want to have me preached at them either.

The hea­ then purchaser prefers red. It is luck­ ier.

Neatly Never -thought of such a sign for a medicine did you ? Well, it’s a good sign for Scott’s Emulsion. The body Has to be repaired like other things and Scott’s Emulsion is the medicine that does it. » These poor bodies wear out from worry’, from over-work, from disease. They get thin and weak Some of the new ones are not well made—and all of the old ones are racked from long usage. Scott’s Emulsion fixes all kinds. It does the work both inside and out. It makes soft bones hard, thin blood red, weak lungs strong, hollow places full. Only the best ma­ terials are used in the patching and the patches don’t show through the new glow of health. No one has to wait his turn.
