WATER AND MILK
Investigation Shows That Over Rather
Than Under Fifty Cases Exist in
City, Generally of Mild Type-ln-
formation Secured From Drug Stores
Sentiment Demands Action.

Council Bluffs, Dec. S0.-In spite of
the fact that city officials and a num-
Der of physicians have persistently
denied the prevalence of typhoid in
Council Bluffs, careful investigation
made Wednesday morning shows tina,
there are an unusual number of such
cases. In recent interview Mayor
Maloney declared he had investigated
the matter, and was convinced that
there were not more than three or four
typhoid cases in the whole CITY. Sew
eral physicians also stated that the
number of cases of the disease was not
unusual or alarming.
The inquiry Wednesday morning
showed the existence of at least fifty
cases of typhoid in Council Bluffs This
information was secured from drug
stores furnishing medicine for the cases
reported by them. Their reports indi-
Gated that the number of typhoid cases
was probably considerably over this
estimate. Some druggists reported from
SA5Ae " d uOLeu cases eaCn. OtherS re-
ported fewer and several declared they
did not know of any.
The disease appears to have been so
far OF light type, and most of the
cases have not been critical. The pre-
valence of the disease to an unusual
extent is conclusively shown, however,
and strong sentiment is expressed
that the city board of health should
deal with the matter vigorously, to dis
cover the origin of the disease and
adopt such measures as may be posi-
BILE to eliminate the causes and stamp
out the disease.
The greater number of typhoid cases
are reported from the western and
southern parts of the city where we'll
water is used by many people, altho
number of cases are reported from
localities where city water is used al
most exclusively. No investigation has
been made to determine definitely
whether the disease is caused by water

Deafness Can Not Be Cured

by local applications. as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inf1amed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed. deafness is the re-
suit 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 inflamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.

Of an orchestra a lady presided over
the piano. She was neither young,
pretty nor talented. and not wishing
to pass unnoticed conceived the idea
of wearing hat that would attract
the attention Of the audience.
In this she was successful. The hat
looked like good-sized umbrella GOV.
cred with flowers, ribbons and birds.
AS the lady took her seat the surprise
1t caused hushed the audience into
silence; when, however. the pianist
struck the first notes and the flowers,
ribbons and birds began a mad dance,
the storm broke loose and the laughter
at last grew SO terrific that the curtain
was lowered to give the spectators an

play-and l saw them. Jack. with his
greasy cards, iii the forecastle, laying
his months wages, was a child to
them. And how they watched one an

No one among them played SO eager

as usual, SO that she managed to lose al
her money. She was ever bad player,
with all her passion for play. Her last

not to be baked, she rose and said,
laughing:

coat, with lace that cost three guineas

No gentleman will be so ungallant as
to refuse my petticoat as stake"
OF course, they all applauded; and
Lady Arabella, retiring behind

in her hand. And In Ave minutes she
had lost it to Giles Vernon!
There was much laughter. but Giles

and when we departed, in the gray
light Of dawn, he carried it on under
his arm.
As for me, I had lost all the money
