Globe Belt: Deputy Sheriff J. W.

Globe Belt: Deputy Sheriff J. w. vorls of Gila county has returned from Tonto where he went to collect taxes on 2,7OO ewes belonging to J. D. Hunck, of Apache county. Mir. Hunck, was in Phoenix, consequently Mir. Voris did not see him. but was assured that Hunck Was satisfied with the asses sment and would pay the taxes. MT. Voris learned that there were 35,OOO head of sheep coming from Salt River valley toward Toronto. The Globe Belt says that MT. Voris will return to Tonto next week to levy upon all the sheep entering Gila county from Maricopa, on which the owners fall to show that taxes have already been paid. Mir. Voris will be absent month or six weeks and will assess all property in the northern part of the county. He says that cattle are in very poor condition especially Tn the mountain districts, where some losses seem inevitable. On Rye, Tonto and Salt River while stock of all kinds are thin, they will probably pull through until the summer rains set in.

Drying preparations simply devel-

Drying preparations simply devel- op dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions, which adhere to the membrane and decom- pose, causing a far more serious trouble than the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all dry ing inhalants, fumes, smokes and snufIs and use that which cleanses, soothes and heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and will cure catarrh or cold in the head easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the soc. size.

 The Balm cures without pain, does not irritate or cause sneezing. It spreads itself over an irritated and angry surface, reliev- ing immediately the painful inflammation.
