Snoring,

It's Cause and Cure.

Most of these cases start in child
hood Children take cold that settles
in head and throat (sore throat. The
irritation caused by repeated colds
results in granulations (proud flesh)
in the vault OF the pharynx, which
develops later into adenoid growths
and chronic catarrh. These growths
obstruct breathing and frequently
give nasal tone to the voice. Other
cases are due to polypus and enlarge
ments Of the lining of the nasal
cavities from chronic catarrh. These
growths and distinctions are quickly
removed without pain.
Anyone suffering from chronic
catarrh, difficult breathing, snoring
foul doors from mouth or nose. drop
ping of mucus in throat, hawking or
splitting, should investigate the methods
of Drs. Myerly and Kreul in the Hot
man Building. They remove growths
from nose and throat without a particle
OF pain and their method of treating
catarrh results in cures in one-fourth
the time required by other methods.

DOCS CAUSE OF
THIS DIVORCE.
CHICAGO WOMAN SAYS HER HUS-
BAND LOVED HIS PETS
MORE THAN HER.

Chicago, April 23.-Dogs-thats
all-has caused Mrs. May M. Sharp
to file bill for divorce in the superior
court against Harley G. Sharp.
Mr.. Sharp had no affinity. He did
not pay attention to other women. He
was not cruel to his wife. He had
no very bad habits. But he had
twenty dogs. Mrs. Sharp says he,
loved his dogs better than his wife.
When Mr.. Sharp bought an $1s
silver cup for one Of his canine pets,
Mrs. Sharp considered he had COM
mitted the objectionable sin. She
packed up and left him to his dogs.
Here Are Hubbys offenses.
Here are the counts scored by Mrs.
Sharp in her bill against her spouse
and the bow vows. She says Mr..
Sharp:
Spent all his money on his dogs and
left the grocery bill unpaid for ten
months
Used his wife's cooking utensils to
cook dog meat.
Filled the house with vile odors by
cooking concotions for his dogs.
Kept sick dogs in the house when
his wife was i'll, and when her
physician said their presence WAS
dangerous to her.
While his wife worked to help make
ends meet he bought an SIS silver
cup for one of his dogs.
Bathed his dogs in the family bath
tub.
Dried his dogs after their ablutions
on the family towels.
Wrapped them in Mrs. sharp's
counterpanes.
Let the dogs sleep on beds and
davenports.
Was frequently absent from home
on hunting trips with his dogs
Had trouble with landlords who
threatened to evict them on account
of dogs.
Dogs Made Life Unbeatable.
Life with so many dogs in tho
house was unbearable," said Mrs.
Sharp. Whenever 1 crossed the room
stumbled over a foxhound. If /
started upstairs tripped on a bull
dog. If I attempted to sit down, /
sat on French poodle. If l wanted
to take nap, had to throw half
dozen pugs and Blenheim spaniels off
the sofa.
when I cooked dinner. Scotch col.
lies and Irish settlers followed me
about the kitchen poking their noses
into the pots and dishes. At the
table had to toss food to the circle
Of canine beggers that sat around like
hungry coyotes about the camp fire
of plainsman. l used to like dogs,
but I am woman who knows when
she has enough
