Despite the bad weather a good crowd
of our citizens and out of town people
gathered at the NJ. K. church Memorial
Day. The exercises were as good as
ever An appropriate program was
given by the several schools in town,
together with vocal and instrumental
music by local talent, of which we have
an abundance. The address by Hon.
Mr.. Stafford was one of the best ever
given here and met the large expecta-
tions of all. No attempt was made to
decorate the graves, owing to the almost
constant falling rain. The church room
was tastefullv decorated with flags,
bunting and flowers, the work of the
home young ladies. 1t was a success
in every particular. Only two veterans
were present. In the evening the I'M

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi.

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 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 condi.

FIGHT AGAINST
 POL|OMyEL|T|S
Latest Report of Conditions Prevailing in Los Ange- les. Health Board is Working Vigorously and Effectively.

As Phoenix people are submitting to considerable inconvenience in the hope of preventing an epidemic of infantile paralysis here. and as infec- tion is more likely to come from Los Angeles than anywhere else. there is local interest in the progress of the fight against the epidemic there. Fol lowing is the latest report received in a newspaper clipping that arrived yesterday:
 StricteSt quarantine is to be main tained on all cases of poliOmyelitis and Dr L. NJ Powers was yesterday authorized by the council to employ as many quarantine guards as he con- sidered necessary to see that quar- antine is not broken. As there are lo1 cases in quarantine and a guard is necessary day and night it will probably be necessary to employ 900 guards foE- this work. He was also given authority to feed those kept in quarantine in such cases where they are unable to furnish their own food. He is to report his expenses each week to the finance committee. The money necessary for this work is in addition to $3.00O allowed by the coun- cil to be used in fighting the cpl demic.
 A committee of physicians are giv- ing a large part of their time free to assist Dr. Powers in checking the disease. The quarantine hospital in Chavez ravine is being prepared for some of the cases.
 But We do not expect to stop this epidemic this week or next. or the next" said Dr. Powers.
 Dr Powers was supported in his demand for 5000 by Mayor Alexander who sent message to the council asking that body to appropriate the sum required.
 The health department records show that since June 10 when the disease first became epidemic there have been 191 cases reported. There are now 101 under strict quarantine Deaths have numbered g..
 Rules adopted by the health com missioner and approved by the coun- cil are being rigidiy enforced by the police. Children under 15 years of age are forbidden in the picture shows and other places of amuse- ment.
 Reports to the effect that there are q large number of cases of in fantile paralysis at Catalina are de- nied by Dr. F.. o. Sawyer county health officer. He says he has no knowledge of eSfnsac single case of the disease on the island
