THE GERMAN STUDENTS
Drunkenness has of late been,
charged in England against the stu
dents of the University of Oxford.
Of this charge Percival Farrar, an Or
ford man, said in Detroit:'
"Now and then young men drink
too much at Oxford, but to accuse
them generally of drunkenness is
quite unpardonable and false.
"Such an. accusation is to my mind
absurd, like the accusation of idleness
made against ,the students t)f the great
German universities.

can bo put Into tbe ears, or taken out iu a mlnuto,
ust as comfortably as epoctacloe can bo put on

And thoy can be worn for weeks at a time, because
they are ventilated, and so soft in tho ear holes thoy

They alqo 'protect any raw inner parts of tho ear
from wind or cold, dust or suddon and pierelnsr

The principal of these llttlo telephones Is to make
It as practical for a deaf person to hoar weak sounds,
aa spectacles make It easy to read line print. Ana
the longer one wear thorn tho bettor his hearing1

the ear nerves. To rest a weak ear from straining is
like rettlnjra otralnod wrist from working:.
Wilson' sEar Drums rest the Ear Nerve bymakln
the sounds louder, soltls easy to understand with
out trying and straining. They muke deaf poople
cheerful and comfortable, bocnuse such pooplo can
talk with their friends without tho frionds having to
about back at thom. They can bear without strain
ing. It Is the straining that puts such a queer,
anxious look on tho foco of a deaf person.
WUson' s Ear Drums mako aU tho sound strike hard
on the center of the human ear drum Instead of,
spreading it weakly all ovor tho surface. It thus
makes the conter ot the human oar drum vibrate'
ton timos as much as If the same sound struck the
whole drum head.lt Is this vibration of the oar drum
that carries sound to the healing norves. When

.MOT OVERWORKED
A Manila newspaper prints this
more or less interesting item:
The night clerk at a local hotel
nad posted a muchacno at the door
of Mr. Bryan's room that tho latter
might not be without quick service
at any hour of tho night he might
require it. Twenty minutes later he
heard footsteps on ttie stairs over
head and there emerged Into the light
a bulky figure which proved to be that
of the great orator.
"I should like some water to be sent
to my room please," suggested Mr.
Bryan.
"Water! It was needless for you to
come down, Mr. Bryan; why did you
not send down the noy stationed at
your door for that purpose?"
"Oh! tho poor fellow was asleep and
I thought perhaps he had been work
ing hard all-day and I did not like to
wake hiin."
"Easy!" growled the clerk as he
made two steps at a jump for the
muchacho. "Hasn't had a thing to do
since the last boat came In five days
ago."
MAKING CITIZENS
That there is something wrong with
the naturalization laws of the country
is shown by an incident that occurred
at Des Moines last week. A large
number of Greeks were before Judge
McHenry to be naturalized. Their
instructor had coached ttie men to
answer "yes" to any and all questions
that should be propounded. After
asking numerous question to which
the men answered "Yes." the court
said: "Are there any anarchists
among you?" Immediately came the
reply, "Yes." Of course they were not
anarchists, but their answer shows
they had no real knowledge of what
American citizenship means. Cedar
Rapids Gazette.
KIND WORDS
Bryan's Commoner nas juBt entered
its sixth year. It was predicted, short
ly after The Commoner was launched,
that it would be shortlived. The wish
was" father to the thought,' and the
prediction merely came from the camp
of the opposition to democratic doct
rine and tradition. There is a dis
tinctive demand for The Commoner
and that excellent Journal will live
to round out many more years of po
litical and economic usefulness.

MACHIAVELLIANISM IN AMERICA
Miss Tarbell says "there has al
ways been a trace of Machiavellian
ism in American life."
But of what people cannot this be
said? The doctrine that every man
has his price is old as mankind. It
is one of those devil's dogmas which
obtain in all lands in all times, but
never., has it laid hold with great
power upon any of tho great nations.

CREAM SEPARATORS
IN NEBRASKA
There is not a state in the Union in which Cream Sepa
rators have contributed more largely to dairying and agri
cultural prosperity generally than in Nebraska.
Tho Nebraska Experiment Station has recently made a
very careful census of tho number of Cream Separators in
use in the State, which census shows 30,960 machines.
The State Experiment Station has been authority for tho
iinofllcial statement that from 80 per cent to 00 per cent of
these 30,960 separators were DE LAVAL,
s 10,000 machines will likely bo added to tho number in
1906, and it is safe to assume that 90 per cent of them will
be DE LAVAL.
Nebraska dairy farmers who have yet to buy separators
may well profit by the overwhelming preponderance of ex
ample set by their fellow farmers who have already had
separator experience.
The farmer who buys a DE LAVAL machine can surely
make no mistake. Tho one who buys anything else must
surely make some mistake according to the degrees of rela
tive inferiority of the make of machine he may select.
The strong clinching argument above all else is that
there can be no possiblo excuse for any buyer taking chances
with an inferior machine, since the DE LAVAL is not only
best but actually the cheapest in proportion to actual capac
ity, while if the buyer cannot take the benefit of cash dis
counts he can buy on such liberal terms that the machine
will actually pay for itself.
Send for new 1906 catalogue and any deslrod information
or particulars gladly supplied upon application.
