There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Defaness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed yau have rumbling sound or imperfect hear Ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed torever; nine cases out or ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflammed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Han s Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars. free. F. J. CHENEY & CO Toledo, Ohio.

Ashman, of l)es Moines, Io wa, i an old time friend of Mr. and Mrs. John Lawrence, Sr., being ac quainted In Indiana forty years ago. The following verses, written by Mr. Ashman In memory of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence's son, William, are pub lished In The Herald by request: Twaa nearly thirty yeara ago Our hearts were filled with Joy, God gave Into our tender care A darling little boy. With loving care from day to day We watched our little darling grow; To see it in its childish play Would fill our hearts to overflow. And as he grew from babe to youth Our love the stronger grew; His life was full of love and truth, Fach duy was something new. From youth to manhood, year by yenr, How swift they seem to pass away; When first to us he did appear, It seems but yesterday. When daily by his father's side He tolled from morn till night. Then back to home and mother' arms. Whose heart was full of fond de light. Contented with his humble lot, He had no wish to roam; His name will never be forgot In once our happy home, sweet home. For God ha called omr on away, Each day veil see his vacant chair. To see our darling one some day Will bo our earnest, constant pray er. O Willie, how we will miss you Morning, noon and night; God answering prayer, we'll soon be with you, In that heavenly home so bright. FIVE ROOM HOUSE FOR RENT. Convenient location. Phone ' Red 665.
