sands Of people who suffer from slight
infiamations of the air passages that
subside in a few days.
End. Cases that can be cured In
few weeks or months by careful treat
ment.-They include the cases of foul
breath, running of nose, dropping of
mucous in throat, hawkins and spit
ting, catarrhal deafness, ringing noises
in ears, snoring. talking through the
nose, stopping up of nose on one or
both sides, especially when patient
lies down.
3rd. The IncurabIe Cases. - This
class of cases can be benefited by
good treatment, the progress Of the
disease checked, but never cured. 1t
includes those cases In which exten-
sive alterations of the soft parts have
taken place, with atrophy Of the
glands and absorption of the bony
structures of the nose. In this stage
the nose often sinks In at the base,
the breath becomes so offensive that
the presence of the patient can hardly
be endured in a closed room. The gen.
eral health becomes broken down and
the sufferer often succumbs to some
other disease as result Of the lowsy-
ed vitality Of The blood.
Much can be done to alleviate the
suffering and the disease may be
checked in this stage, but cure is
impossible on account of the tissue
changes that have taken place.
DRS. MYERLY G. KREUL have had
wide experience in the treatment OF
all catarrhal diseases and their meth

right here in Ottumwa
They have always been fair and
honest in their dealings. They have
been here six years and have record
of more cures than any other special
lists in this part of the state.

having got there first could be forestaed in no
other way than by the intrusion upon his line of

FROM A NEW
MEXICO READER.

Solona, New Mex, Dec. 21, 1908. 9.-Editor Springdale News: AS 1 have been asked by several of my friends about this country, will now give you few lines. l came to Solona last February and located four miles south of town. Solona IS situated on the ElPaso and Southwestern K. K. in Moro County, the northwestern part of New Mexico. It Is now two years old. We have seven gener- al stores, three hotels, three sa- looms and several other business buildings of importance.
 People come here from all parts of the country for their health, and most all get cured, We are 5000 feet high so 1t can't help but be healthy. The land IS smooth and very fertile, the soil runs from three to ten feet deep. Old timers say this has been the dryest year in fifteen, although as dry as 1t was, there was plenty of feed raised for home use. As for timber we have none on the prairie, but have plenty in the canyons for fence posts and fuel. Water Is very good and very shallow, ranging from twenty to eighty feet, and mineral prospects fair. There is plenty of game here, but the game law is very strict, but of course some people take advantage by getting out early in the morning. l saw bunch of fifty or more antelope cross my place yesterday, but as there Is $500 fine on each one you kill, 1 left them alone.
 The land is beng taken up very fast here. Most everything within fifteen miles of railroad is now taken. We have had almost two feet of snow up till this time and can see the snow on the Rockies every day in the year.
 Now if you Arkansas people want farm In New Mexico you will have to hurry. We cant raise fruit like you can there, but we can raise bigger corn and more wheat. Hoping to hear from my friends soon, will close by wishing you happy Christ mas.

HONOLULU.

Dec. Monday evening near ? o'clock the death angel visited our community and took from our midst Mother Hamby. She had been battling agalnst the ills of life for many years but God call ed her up higher where there IS no more sorrow, sickness or pain, where disappointments and tears of grief are not known, but eter- nal bliss and happiness. Mother Hamby was born July :, 1927. Pneumonia was too severe for one of her age, and the lamp of life went out at the close of the fifth day. She leaves four sons and five daughters to mourn her departure. All were present ex- cept two sons and one daughter who live in other states.
 She's gone to join that throng,
 There in that glory land,
 Where glittering crowns adorn
 And golden harps ill hand
 We sadly miss her here,
 But over on that shore
 Again we all can meet.
 And meet to part no more
 This home is now bereft
 Of father and mother;
 All alone they are left.
