Ceredo advance. [volume] (Ceredo, W. Va.) 1885-1939, 1906-01-03

We heard a prominent citizen of
Wayne county state recently that
he had seen water hauled from
Twelve Pole, when that stream was
completely covered with thick,
green scum, and emptied into the
court house we'll, for the people TO
use. Does any one wonder that the
people of Wayne were stricken with
fever year after year? Bring the
court house to Ceredo where we
have an unsurpassed water supply.
Something like q year ago the
county court was indicted by one
of Wayne couDty's best citizens,
for maintaining a public nui-
eance on the public grounds at
Wayne. The court had our sym
pathy in the matter because, un-
der existing conditions lack Of
water, etc., they we're powerless
to make better arrangements. We
do not know what became of the
indictment, bnt we suppose the
court, taking the same view that
we did, declined to push the pros
ecution.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by the constitutional rene
dies Deafness is caused by an inflam-
ed condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian tube. When this tube
is inf1amed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and wheE it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be talk
en- out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an nfiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.

GuIIs' EGGS Are Good.


The gulls, with their dreamy. far
March sky.
I'D like to have mess of bulls eggs
now" said the lighthouse keeper.
"Gulls' eggs? Why, they're no good
mo good? They're fine. They beat
a hens egg all to pieces" said the
lighthouse keeper "The best egg in
the world is plover's, and nine people
out of ten eat gull egg for plover egg,
and don't know the difference
"In England, from now on, from
March on to May, there are hundreds
of men who make living by gather
ing gulls' eggs and foisting them off
OH the public for plovers' eggs
"The fens and salt marshes of the
English coast are as valuable on ac-
count of the gulls' nests, as vineyards
or orchards. These fens rent at high
rate, and keepers protect the eggs
from thieves, the same as keepers on
noblemen's estates keep out poachers.
early in March the gulls pair. They
lay their eggs in salt marches, in hol-
low or a tuft of grass. The nests. in
the best marshes, touch. You can't
take a step without crushing eggs
under foot. These eggs, olive-colored,
splashed with green and gray, sell at
wholesale for Z cents apiece. They are
called plovers eggs.
Each nest has, as a rule, three eggs.
When the first set is taken from her
the female bird lays another set, and
if this one is taken too, she lays third
set Of three, which is always left to
