says: whenever the name of 81 Plum

QUIETLY LAST SUNDAY AFTER

The Water Tow er, which has been
a menace TO life and property for
some time past, collapsed Sunday

tower fell In north-easterly direction
away from adjoining buildings. A
lot of household Aods were stored in
the barn. Beyond some flooded gar.
dens No farther damage was done.
Men Immediately set TO work to
clear away the debris in order TO shut
off the broken main and, when this
was accomplished, the pumps gave
direct pressure. A steam pump has
since been borrowed of the East ]or-
dan Lumber Co., and, with steam

The tower was about 100 IT, high
and was constructed when the pres
cot system was installed at a cost Of
about $4,000. OF late it had been
growing weak around the bottom of
the tank and the Council had already
commenced making plans for rebuild
ing the entire water-works system.

Attention! Listen!

There are many reasons why the property owners should keep the edges of their sidewalks free from weeds and grass. There is one, however, that is now pressing with special force. The public school will shortly open and the children will go dropping along the sidewalks three and four abreast early in the morning when the dew is still heavy on the grass and weeds which in many cases cover half the sidewalk IL is impossible for two children To walk abreast on such a sidewalk without getting their shoes and clothing saturated with dew. They must sit all day in the school room with damp feet and clothing, and then their parents wonder how they managed to catch cold. It is im- portant that this should be attended 10 at once, and the sidewalks cleaned up for the winter. The welfare of your own and your neighbor's child ren is at stake, and demands your prompt action and earnest co-opera- tion in this matter

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 infa1ned con.
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is infam
ed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an inhamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh
