A lawyer has noticed that gas injures the backs of his books which have “law calf” binding. The backs curl up like a thin board laid in the sun, when exposed to the gas for a time and the only way to get them back in shape is to lay a weight on them. A number of attorneys in the gas belt have asked the state printing board to bind the supreme and appellete court reports in buckram instead of leather. They say natural gas has almost completely ruined leather bindings on their books. Don’t Be Afraid.

The Dunkard brethren of Henry county, a religious sect that is very strong in that part of the state, has proposed to the commissioners of Delaware county to care for all orphans now cared for in the children’s home, at a cost to the county of thirty cents a day per child. The Dunkards propose to take the orphan children to the Dunkard’s home, four miles south of Middletown.

A successful method for keeping apples well into the winter, and even spring, is to wrap them in old newspapers so as exclude the air. The newspaper must be one on which the subscription is paid, otherwise dampness resulting from what is “dew” may cause the fruit to spoil, so says an exchange. A cold today means consumption tomorrow. Consumption is more often caused by a neglected cold than any other way. It is poor judgment to buy a “common” cough syrup when it is so easy to get Dr. Geo.

It is a wrong practice, however, and should be stopped by a sweeping rule to prevent collections of any sort. The state makes education compulsory, and the poor who wish to be law abiding, make unusual efforts to supply their children with clothes and books. The state should not allow the organization to be used for levying collections. Why suffer with your kidneys? The discovery of Dr. Geo.

Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tula* is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the in I flammat ion can be taken out and this I tutie restored to its normal condition, | hearing will lie destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of tho mucous siyfaces.
