WILL FORM CRICKET LEAGUE.
Secretary Reid Will Soon Issue Call to
Clubs of This District

Secretary William Reid, ST., Of the
copper country cricket league, an
nounced yesterday afternoon that he
will issue a call to the cricket teams
in the near future TO reorganize tho
copper country league. Cricket is one
of the popular sports of the English
men of this district and for many
years league matches have been held.
II is likely the league will be formed
as soon as the snow leaves the ground
and indications AT the present time are
that it will be strong one.
The Mohawk cricketers are at this
time the holders of two cups, which
they have won in past seasons.
Secretary Reid is unable to STATE
how many teams will join the league
this year.
Discussing the probable makeup Of
the league Secretary Reid stated q
was his belief the same teams that
made up the circuit a year ago would
again enter elevens. Last seasons
finish was somewhat disastrous owing
to the strike number of the best
PLAY ers in the league leaving for othar
mining camps on account of the local
labor disturbances Most Of these mon
have since returned and it is believed
that none of the teams will be weak
ened
Deleeates to the annual meeting are
expected from Mohawk Painesdale,
Quincy Mesnard. Tamarack, Kear-
sarge and Wolverine. These teams
constituted the league year ago, and
it is generally understood the arrans -
ment was the most satisfactory that
has obtained since the inception of the
organization several years ago. cut

"Some time ago / wrote you about
my little boy, Clarence, five years OF
age. He was troubled with his ears.
They were very sensitive to the touch,
and he was quite deaf at times lie
seemed to be worse after catching
cold. l had taken him TO doctors, but
they did not seem TO be able TO relieve
him. and l was very much afraid he
would lose his hearing entirely. He
was getting more deaf every day.
Il wrote to you for advice, and you
prescribed Peruna. 1 began giving il
to him. and can now say that he is
entirely cured. He is now well and
hearty and can hear perfectly"
Catarrh Causes Many Diseases.
Many diseases are caused by taking
cold. A cold is very likely to settle
in the nose, causing nasal catarrh.
1t may settle i'm the upper part of the
throat, called the nasal pharyngeal
space. In this space are two little
tubes called eustachian tubes, that
lead to the middle ear
II the catarrh settles i'm the pharyn-
geal space it may follow the mucous
membrane through the eustachian
tubes into the miGdle ear. If IL does
il will cause noises in the ear, and
later on be sure to cause deafness
Catarrh of the throat may follow
the eustachian tubes up into the mid
die ear without causing much concern
on the part of the patient. The par
