PROPER TREATMENT FOR
CA ia RRH

The first thing to be done in the
treatment Of Catarrh Is to begin the
use OF a medicine that will have a
direct effect on the source OF the dis
ease; in no other way can any cura-
tive progress be made. S. S. S. does
this more quickly and satisfactorily
than any other medicine, 1t is the
most penetrating OF all blood puri-
hers, thoroughly, yet gently, expell-
ing all catarrhal matter and impuri-
ties from the circulation, and by its
fine tonic properties Strengthening
and building up the system in such
healthy manner that it is enabled to
overcome the depressing effects of
Catarrh. Some local treatment is
often desired to open the air passages
OF the head and nose and relieve the
congestion and tickling of the
throat, and other unpleasant symp-
toms. There are many helpful meas
urcs which may be resorted to, and
there are others which may be harm
full, and to aid Catarrh sufferers we
have prepared a special treatise on
the disease which will be of great
value to any who suffer with this
trouble. This book together with
any medical advice free to all who
write and request it. Take S. S. S.
regularly and according to directions,
and it will certainly remove the cause
aud cure your Catarrh. S. S. S. is
sold at drug stores.

Smoked Near Powder,

The carelessness of smoking cigarettes
near an open keg of gunpowder may
cause the death of three Tulsa, Okla,
men who were at least crippled for life
in peculiar explosion on the county
road near Fishor.
The men, George Martin, Melvin Da-
Wis and Harold Clark, had just finished
their noon day lunch and were enjoy
ing smoke during the remainder of
the lunch hour, when a spark from a
cigarette fell into the can of powder.
The powder Immediately exploded, and
the conclusion set off twenty sticks OF
dynamite nearby.
The unfortunate trio attempted to
make their escape but were caught be.
fore they had hardly gained their feet
Every stitch of clothing was blown from
their bodies and left dangling in nearby
tree tops, while the bodies of the three
men were literally riddled with gravel,
fine stones and debris. The calves ol
their legs were blown away and Davis's
ear drums were bursted. The men are
now lowering between life and death in
Tulsa hospital.

Safety in Locating Wells.

No we'll should be located where pol.
luting matter has access to it. Such
matter usually comes from cesspools or
privies, slops thrown ON the surface,
backings from hen yards, pigeons, and
barnyards, from manured fields, ami.
mails falling into the water, and filth
thrown in through the open top or
washed in through the plank coverings
or leaky castings. The matter entering
through the top can be kept out by ce-
ment, iron, or other impervious curb
ings. The entrance of material at the
bottom Of shallow wells can be prevent
ed only by locating them beyond the
reach OF contamination. Where any of
the polIuting agents are present care
should he taken to see that the we'll is
located at least 100 feet away and on dis
tinctiy higher ground, so that both the
surface drainage and the underground
drainage-which generally moves in the
same direction-will be away from it.
On fiat sands the wells should be at least
$50 feet from any source of pollution.
The importance of choosing a location
safe from polluting influences is almost
universally un g restimated. Laying
aside considerations of comfort and
health, a safe we'll is nearly always, in
the long run, the cheapest. Safety
should invariably be made the first con-
sideration instead of the last. (From
Water Supply Paper 223, U. S. Geologi-
cal Survey.)

$3.50, while the best of the grassers is
quotable at $3.50. Most of the grass
steers here this week have been ''be-
tween feeders and beef" and have been
selling largely at S4.75 "a $3.50 Cows
and heifers have found a free outlet
right along and while the better grades
have suffered some from competition
with cheap beef steers, the Gamers and
cutters are selling as high as at any
time this season. There is a $500 "a
1926 range with bulksof the butcher
stock going around 1915 "a $3.50. Busi-
ness in stockers and feeders has been
the heaviest of the season, the eastern
demand being the best it has been so
far. Prices are generally all of 10 @ l5c
higher and, while the steers of good
flesh and quality are favored, the me-
dunn and common grades have sold
more readily than at any time recently
and good clearance has been made
Demand for feeders is very keen and
the tone to the market strong at the
close.
