Your mother has spoken so many times about her brother who painted those pictures in the parlor. It is his case, I suppose. Oh, ves, here are his initials, ‘R 3ut who is the artist this time, Fred?" Her tone was careless, that she waited eagerly, for the lad’s reply. F'red’s Very Plausible Explanation. But the hoy's perplexed, troubled face had cleared swiftly at her ques- | tion. Jividently he had found a way ! carried a ] out from his dilemma, whatever it | was. Why Did Mrs, Allis Ask “Who Is the Artist This Time, Fred?" 1 think Mrs, Allis, the boarder at the Casgrove farmhouse, and Fred, one of the twin sons of the house, were cqually confused and an- noyed at discovering each other.

There is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- flamed 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 s entirely \ closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearin, will be destroyed forever.
