Salt Lake in order to take the treatment? Can
you treat patients at their homes by mail? and
other questions OF similar import

therefore, for the benefit Of those who may be
hesitating about writing to them, that by their
question blanks and other systematic arrange
ments, sufficient knowledge Of each case can
be obtained to make treatment sn easy matter

homes as well as in Salt Lake. Medicines are
sent by express, regular correspondence il
required and maintained. and the physician and
plies are made by Drs. Mansfield & Bissett
notifications in treatment prescribed with the
proper medicines and in every detail each case
is worked out until cure is effected Enclose

"a very little study OF anatomy will show the
reader that the luncture OF the back passage OF
the nose and upper part of the throat is con-
neoted with the ear. by minute and delicate
passage known as the eustachian tube. Along

some cases, slight forms Of catarrh OF the

Partial or complete deafness may result from

CENTRAL.

Well, Central is beginning to liven
up some. The club of ten belonging
to the new organization has commenc-
ed looking for Jobs.
The applicants for the Post office
have not joined the new order and it
looks as if the present Post Master
will hold over at least till he strikes
something better.
The lumber business at Jameson
City is once more about ready to start
operations. They have the right men
at the business now.
Hub factory will soon start again.
This with the industries on the West
Fishingcreek will make Central better
than it has been for two years. The
club of ten finally after seventeen bal
lots decided to elect Lamon, Secre-
tary of the order.
Frank Myers is going to move his
stove from the Post Office so he can
get it in working order for next win
ter. 1t chokes up and seems incom-
petent to throw out any heat.
The club also expects to have the
Postal laws over hauled. We don't
mean to say anything against any one
for personal harm, for take it all
through, Central is represented by men
with good trades and talent generally.
Mrs. Perry has been visiting with
friends in Central during the past
week.
Wagons and rigs have taken the
place of runners mostly, and all seem
glad to see terra frma again.
We are waiting, says the club Of ten,
to have all corners get their usual
spring term of Barley corn training.
Therefore, says Martin, l will close
by stating the health Of the Central
people is good and all look for the
time to catch few, if they are chuck
full OF saw dust.

pleasure, building fires, cooking eggs,
and destroying such household goods
as they pleased. A neighbor saw
them coming out and wired Mr.. Kase,
who came home and had them

chronometer of the very best make,
for his jewelry store. This instrument
is of superior construction, with a
heavy compensation balance and beats

and are used in astronomical OBJ
servations in determining longitude,
other purposes requiring the closest
calculation. Mr.. Wells will use it as
a regulator, thereby attaining perfect
accuracy in setting watches.

with large portion of our people. A
closer acquaintance will bring about a
change OF opinion. 1t is not an unus-
ual thing for man to reverse his
opinion, when he becomes better ac.
qnainted with the subject. There was
a man in neighboring township, who
no doubt had changed his opinion
about his wife when he said that he
never would have married her, if he
had been better acquainted with her.
There may be more men similarly sit.
uated in their domestic relations, but
they are not all so honest as this old
gentlemen was. A man does not gen
orally like to own that he has been
worsted in deal of any kind.
| should have suggested different
and believe better plan for teachers
to increase their incomes in the short
term districts. 1t is this; let the teach

employment between terms, from
which he or she may readily realize as
much as many of the taxpayers do,
end it would give them a clear idea OF
how folks who have to work for their
living get along. They could then
point with pride to the fact, that they
had earned part of their bread by
the sweat of their brow.
The next step which the Superln-
tendent mentions, is raising the salar
les. Now this is very direct, straight.
forward way of doing the thing, and
one that almost any Of US might have
thought Of If we had been accustomed
to thinking. All you have to do is to
do is to reach little deeper into your
pocket and the thing is done. That is
if you have not already got to the bot.
tom. To press the matter and punch
a hole will do no good. But just why
this step is easier now than ever be

my own fault.

to see just how that was going to bene-
fit the teachers SO far as adequate sup
port was concerned, and am not ye,
certain that see the point. The only
logical conclusion that I have been
able to arrive at is that it will break
down competition and enable the
teachers to form a combine or trus,
and fix their own salaries. If human
nature has not changed, and l see nc
clear evidence that it has; if tina,
power is put in their hands they are
likely to turn it to their profit. l should
say therefore, that it is high time to
call halt. We have trusts enough
and more than enough, without foster

Monday, September first, as "Labor
Day" has proven a failure. If Satur-
day had been selected, it might have
been a success, but business men can
not afford to lose Monday in such a
business time of the year. Besides it
always interferes with the opening of
the Public Schools, since nearly all
schools begin the first week in Sep
tember, and schools beginning earlier
are retarded by such an early holiday.
