4 Uniuue Quarantine.

There is long drawn howl of agony
from dog owners and sportsmen in
Mifflin county incident to the issue of
a general quarantine against all dogs
by the State Live Stock Sanitary board.
1t means that all dogs must be placed
in close confinement for a period of
one hundred days, that any dog found
without muzzle and under a leash,
will be shot and the owner have alb
solutely no redress, in addition may
be fiued for violation of quarantine
laws. This is for the purpose of stamp
ing out the epidemic of rabies. On
the other hand it means no hunting in
Mifflin county and that the game will
have at least one more season of grace.
Rabbits and small game are reported
very plenty.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional re-
medies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restoI-
ed to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall s

WILL APPEAL
TO DR.. DIXON

The school board held special

taking action on the question OF fur.
nishing pure water to the schools It
was decided TO further test the bor-

The meeting was called to order by
President W. A. Sechler, who explain.
ed the object of the meeting, which
was to consider the question Of boring
wells at the five school buildings Of
the borough.
The question after being discussed
at the last meeting was referred to the
committee on building ami repairs,
VITO was to obtain rates from Jerc-
miah Hoover who is drilling wells in
the borough at present and also to
sound the public to determine its at
titudc toward the proposition of sink
ing wells at the school buildings.
Mr Fischer reported that he had
gone over the matter with Mr.. Hoover
very carefully and was surprised to
find that the cost would be consider.

found that the tax payers were pretty
evenly divided OH the subject
Mr.. Cole said he had interviewed a
number of representative citizens, and
failed to find one that would encour.
age the school board to 90 ahead and
sink wells. For his part he said. he
believed it is the duty of the borough
to furnish the schools pure water and
by monthly tests to furnish evidence
| that the water is absolutely pure.
I Mr.. Pursel took the view that the
| boiling of water for the schools is q
farce" and that by obviating this
expense the wells in a few years would
/ pay for themselves.
Mr.. OGth urged several reasons why
the school board should 20 slowly in
the matter of sinking wells.
DR. Shultz gave learned talk Oh
| the relative purity of water, showing
that it is practically impossible to OBJ.
tain water that is absolutely pure. He
cited the case of Camden, n j. which
| has got rid of typhoid fever by sink

are much deeper than the wells con.
I ra,,,r,latgI i,s nauv1Iln
Nj Orth cited an authority to show
that the wells in the borough shoult
be sunk to depth of at least $50 fee
in order TO insure purity of water
/ Again ne urged that it was a question
whether Dr. Dixon would approve OF
the wells
In view of the diversity of opinion
on motion of Mr. Fischer, it was ord
cred that samples of water-from thu
water works and from the faucets a
each OF the school buildings be sen
to the laboratories for analysis ant
that the opinion OF DR.. Dixon be ask

from wells such as the school boarC
