Medical Paper Tells How Dost Spreads Disease Washington, March 14. War against dust is urged in an article in the April issue of the Medical Council which puts forward the in teresting theory that new diseases attacking man in Pandemics like grip are due to the so-called cosmic dust. This cosmic dust is supposed to come from the stars but the sugges tion is made that it ia nothing but common terestrial dust carried high by the heat of the tropics or by vol conoes and whirlwinds. Thousands of tons of such dust fall yearly on the earth and it is highly charged with living organisms. "We are coming more and more to realize," says the article, "the role of dust in the etiology and transmission of disease; but we have studied the problem in it's local phases, not in its cosmographical relations. This latter study im presses us as important and we ad vance the theory that oaganism charged dust carried thousands of miles from the original terrestrial source may readily cause epidemics of disease."

Follow ing twelve months' of construction work on the final stretch in double tracking the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad between Pleasant Hill, N. C, and Petersburg, Va., there was opened yesterdaj twenty-nine miles track, twelve of which lies between Pleasant Hill and Emporia and sev enteen between Stony Creek and Petersburg. The total of twenty nine miles completes the double- tracking of the Atlantic Coast Line oetween ruenmona and beima, a Tk 1 1 1 di&tance of 162 miles. - i The new trackage will not at pres ent be thrown into general use cn account of the track settling and the freight trains of the company will be run over this new trackage for several months before the double track is given final service for all trains. With the closing of this last gap between Petersburg tand the North Carolina line, the Coast Line has worked a vast improvement in its mam line, and after a few months there will be in use south from Rich mond to Selma, a distance of 162 miles as complete and modern road bed as that of any road in this sec tion.

Mrs. Win. Bowman, R. F. D. 1, Coon Rapids, Iowa, writes: "Some time ago I wrote you about my little boy, Clarence, five years of age. He was troubled with his ears. They were very sensitive to the touch, and he was quite deaf at times. He seemed to be worse after catching cold. I had taken him to doctors, but they did not seem to be able to relieve him, and I was very much afraid he would lose his hearing entire'. He was getting more deaf every day. "I wrote to you for advice, and you prescribed Peruna. I began giving it to him, and can now say that he i3 entirely cured. Ho is now well and hearty and can hear perfectly." Catarrh Causes Many Diseases. Many diseases are caused by talcing cold. A cold is very likely to settle in the nose, causing nasal catarrh. It may settle in the upper part of the throat, called the nasal pharyngeal space. In this space are two little tubes called eustachian tubes, that lead to the middle car. If the catarrh settles In the pharyn geal space it may follow the mucous membrane through the eustachian tubes into the middle ear. If it does it will cause noises in the ear, and later on be'sure to cause deafness. Catarrh of the throat may follow the eustachian tubes up into the mid dle ear without causing much concern on the part of the patient. The. par HARDY HARDWARE CO.

THE T Catsral Saafness tial loss of hearSft la opt to be over looked. A ncrcen may lose half his hearing befoio he knows it. For instanc, suppose a man can hear his watcii four feet from the ear. If he loses his hearing to the extent that he can only hear the tick of his watch ttio foct from the ear he may not suspect it at all. His hearing Is good enough for ordinary purpose. He goes on without the slightest sus picion that he i3 losing his hearinr He may have ringing In the ear, or cracking and snapping sounds In the ear, or a feeling of pressure In the ear, but he Is not aware that he 1 losing his hearing. Testing the Hearing. It is a good I'ning to test your hear ing with a watch. First hold the watch against your ear, then move it .-radually away from the ear and see how far away from the watch you can actually hoar it tick. Try It on the other side end see If both ears are alike. If you find that you are unable to hear the watch on both sides alike and at a distance of four feet from the ear, you may know that leafness has already bgun. You should begin taking Peruna at once. Gargle the throat with cold, strong '.ait water, as directed in the "Ills of Life." sent free by Peruna Co.. Co lumbus, Ohio. Perplet in this treat ment until a cure is effected. The Best Wpy to Gargle. Sometimes catarrh of the nasal pharyngeal Kpace will cause an ac cumulation of secretions in the throat, that completely fill the space. Unless these sc-crelionn are promptly re moved by frequent gargling polypi may be formed. Once formed th polypi or adenoids, as they are some-tim-s called, will require a long tlnv with the gargling to remove. Gar gling according to the proper method will sometimes remove polypi or ade noids, and no surgical operation i required. In order to un3erst?nd exactly what is meant by proper gargling send for a free copy of the "Ills "f Life." During the whole course of gargling Peruna must be taken according to directions on the bottle. People who object to liquid medi cines c-n ijo-.v obtain Peruna Tablets. Your Own Paint!
