crowd out to see and hear them. They will. no doubt give out something interesting. Several of the young folks of our town very narrowly escaped death Sunday evening while out auto riding. Little Howard Rayner coaxed his grahdpa Allen to let him take his machine and take* a bunch of youngsters for a ride. He loaded it down with six children, all near his age, four girls and two boys. The girls were Gladys and May Halleck, and Jessie Zellers and Jennings Winslow and himself. It Is said he had been letting the girls take turn about driving, and this time it was Gladys’ turn to drive. When they were nearing home she was sending the car down the pike like a house afire, when it began to wabble first one side of the road and then the other. When Howard tried to take the wheel and steady it she hung pn and gave it a quick turn causing' the car to roll over a couple of times. Elsie Zellers suffered the worst wounds. Her side and shoulder was pretty badly bruised and it is feared she might have some bones broken, but she refused to have a doctor examine her. The only thing that saved them from probable death was that the top was up and shielded them. The machine was, a pretty bad wreck and it will cost about SSO to repair it. A pretty dear lesson, eh?

Catarrh Deafness Cannot Be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach tire deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed 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. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. 'Hall’s Catarrh Cure acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of catarrh deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Circulars free. At all druggists, J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio.

IN MEMORIUM TO OUR SON

In sad but loving remembrance of our darling little baby, Lyle J. Dale, who died two years ago today, October 12, 1914: In the graveyard softly sleeping, Where the flpwers gently wave, Lies the one we loved so dearly, In his lonely little grave. Farewell, alas, our baby dear, Thy little form lies cold and still; Thy death has caused a vacant place This world can never fill. Oh, how we miss you, miss you, More than tongue can ever toil ; Every hour and day that passes, Brings us nearer you to dwell, Friends may think we’ll soon-forgot you, And our wounded hearts be healed, Put they little know the sorrow That within our hearts conceal —PAPA, MAMMA, BROTHERS and SISTERS. e
