Five or six years ago the Denver
Young Mems Christian Association
were burdened continually with young
men coming from all parts of the
country to regain their health. At that
time the Association had no means at
hand whereby they might be of as
sistance either temporarily or per
manently and it made the hearts of
the officers sore because they had to
turn the men away.
Now conditions are changed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Enstach-
ian Tube When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca

HIGH AVERAGE FOR KING
80 Mark Of 1872 For Three Games
and TWO Games Of the Match
Were over the
200 Mark.

In the best girls basket ball game
game Of the season, the Keokuk high
school basket ball team triumphed in
grand style over the Mt. Sterling ag-
eregation last evening at st. Peters
hall. The game was fast in every de-
partment and the score of 10 to 16
speaks we'll for the forward ability
and the skill of both teams. Shoot
ing baskets from every angle of the
field Miss Langley and Miss Hummer
managed to keep the high school in
the lead and close victory by three
points. Every player on the Keokuk
team contributed CALAMITY to the
victory and all did their share in as
sisting to close the home season
with flying colors.
Many say the game was without
doubt the best ever played in Keokuk
between two teams composed of girl
ness usually shown by team com
posed Of young ladies and the good
work last evening was characteristic
Of fast players.
At forward positions were Miss
Langley. and Miss, Hummer. and their
work was the best of tie season. Miss
Hating and Miss King were strong
scenters and Miss Meinhardt, Miss
Russell and Miss Crees were tower
OF strength in the defense.
The visitors were not without speed
and many of their plays were ex-
ceptionally good. They set fast
pace for the local aggregation, but the
Keokuk girls were well equal to the
task and outplayed them at their own
game.
The wonderful Improvement shown
sby the local team last evening was a
revelation to the people present who
have Witnessed previous games in the
city The young ladies are much
more adapt than several months ago
and are improving steadily. Congrat-
lulations We're extended on all sides
after the game as the victory was a
well deserved and a we'll earned one.
Miss Hummer made, five goals from
field and Miss Langley four and one
from the faul line.

| til meteorology can be made, what is
it not now, an exact science.
In the case Of the storm that visited
Washington on the 18th of March last,
! the fact is that the disturbance began
here on the morning of the Bird, and
was accurately forecast the day before.
The Bureau anticipated that the storm
center would pass over the Middle At
lantic States during the night of the
3rd. and that northwest winds and
falling temperatures would leave a
clear day for the 4th. The center past
precisely as forecast, the wind shifted
and the temperature fell, but instead
of the northwest wind clearing the sky
as it does. in nearly all cases, precipi-
tation in the form of snow occurred and
continued for twelve hours after the
storm center had past eastward. No
forecaster could foresee this. Were
we to forecast fall of snow following
the passage of storm centers that
move from the northwest, we would
have hundreds Of failures charged
against us instead of an occasiona
one, for it is rare that snow falls in
the Middle Atlantic States except with
the approach of storm from the
southwest. which causes northeast
winds and 1t is extremely rare that

with rain ends with snow Of any con-
siderable amount. On the contrary,

though subject to error in the proper
ton of about one to ten, are of such
value to the industries of the nation
