A Springtime Carol.

There is no need of waiting
Till the birds begin to sing
For reliable assurance
OF the coming of the spring;
You can tell 1t by the shivers
From your shoulders to your knees;
You can tell by the manner
In which people stop to sneeze:
You can tell 1t by cold wave
In an unexpected rush;
You can tell it by the roadway
Now transformed to mire and slush.
Though the blossoms are reluctant
And the birds refuse to sing,
There are many indications
OF the near approach Of spring.

THE VOICE OF THE MAJORITY is
THE LAW

The Pontiac Press-Gazette says OF
, the result of the local option contest
in Oakland county:
If the victory for local option, as
shown by the returns Of ten Michigan
counties, including Oakland, is the
beginning of an era OF state pro-
hibition in Michigan, there will be
few people who will not rejoice at
the start that has been made. If on
the other hand the decision entered
into with such enthusiasm results
in reversal two years hence, as has
so many times been demonstrated
under Michigan local option legisla-
ton, then nothing has been gained
The responsibility for making local
option a success rests with all the
people.
In the counties where failure has
resulted such failure has been due in
great measure to the elevation OF
the wrong men to Office. This short
coming cannot be overcome unless
every person makes of himself an ex-
ponent of enforcement, clean politics
and with individual responsibility
for active effort in behalf of regula-
ton and order.
This newspaper has Away stood
for enforcement of present liquor
laws. 1t will likewise lend its best
influence to aiding in every way the
of the law that shall fol-
low the regime of county prohibition.
The people of Oakland county, by
their votes, have taken upon them
selves an enormous responsibility
If they accept the same as individuals
by show of deeds and actions in
stead of words and resolutions, there
will be every opportunity for sus-
tanning the law.

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 constitu-

Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imoerfect hear
ing aud when II is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, aud unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten ore caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
