You go into the country and look
around. Wherever you find good roads
you will find GOOD houses and barns
and happy, contented people, and
when the roads are poor the reverse
will be true"
These are the views of two mem
men of standing and men of charac-

edge of conditions and whose idea
are based upon practical businoa
judgment tinged with a bit of kind
sentiment for those whose lives az

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

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
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

ROCHE LEAVES
PARDON BOARD
Kearsarge Man Tenders His Res
ignation to Gov. Ferris

Because OF his inability to attend
meetings of the state pardon board
held at institutions other than Mar
quette. Dr.. Andrew {, Roche of Kear-
sarge has rendered his resignation as
a member Of that board. The resigna-
zion was submitted TO GOV. Ferris this
week, but it is understood by those in
close touch with the situation that il
will not be acted upon at once. Or.
Roche leaves the pardon board with
regret. but finds that because of the
pressure of private business, he is un-
able TO devote as much time and at
tention TO his duties as a member as
lac would like and feels it is his duty
to retire
The resignation of Dr Roche comes
almost as unexpectedly 9s his original
appointment. Few OF his friends here
knew that he was even considered for
this appointment before the announce
ment came from Lansing and no init
nation had been given locally that he
intended 10 retire rtom the board be-
fore word was received toby from
Lansing Ia that effect.
