closer figure on groceries, grain aud
provisions than they can get either in

Deafness Cannot Be CURED

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con.
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflsmed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it Is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and the tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases ont of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an intlamed condition of
tho mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by

Too Much Nose!

The people of Woodbine don't
seem to have any business of their
own to attend to, 80 they put in
their time at other peoples busi-
ness; when the saloon petition was
presented to the Board of Super
visors, some of the Valley people
presented protests, as they had a
perfect right to do, for the Saloons
were to be located in Mo. Valley,
and they we're interested. Wood
bine also sent a delegation of pro-
testors, headed by l.. w. White,
of the Chronicle, to the Board, to
make a fight on what S3 per cent,
OF the voters of Mo. Valley had
said they wanted. What business
was it of Woodbiners? The Sa-
looms were not to be established
there, and they could not effect
Woodbine in any way, and how
the people of that village could
conceive that they had the right
to tell 50 per cent. of the voters of
Mo. Valley th It they didn't know
what they wanted is more than we
eau understand!
We realize that the Woodbine
people are very moral and tenn
perate, 30 much so that it is said
that every citizen must show that
he has attended prayer meeting
six consecutive evenings before he
is admitted to the public park, or
to the public drinking fountain,
but that does not give them the
right to say to 83 per cent. of the
voters of Missouri Valley that they
don't know what they want.
When S3 per cent. of the voters
Of city say they want thing, If
the thing asked for is lawful, it is
evident that the wish is almost
unanimous for that thing, and 10
have few, select few of I'll. cit.
izens of another town say the
people are mistaken and don't
want what they ask for, is exhibi-
ting very large amount of gall.
We admire the Woodbine peo-
pie, and when they attend to thei,
own business they are real nice
people, but when they stick their
noses into Missouri Valleys bust.
