To End Catarrhal
Deafness and
Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deaf
ness and head noises will be glad to know
that this distressing afflictiCA usual
ly be successfully treated at home by an
internal medicine that in many instances
has effected complete relief after other
treatments have failed Sufferers who
could scarcely hear watch tick tell how
they have had their hearing restored to
such an extent that the tick of a watch
was plainly audible eight inches
away from either ear. Therefore, if you
know of someone who is troubled with
head noises catarrhal deafness, cut out
this formula and hand it to them and you
will have been the means of saving some
poor sufferer from perhaps total deaf
ness The prescription can be prepared at
home and is made as follows:
Secure from your druggist 1 o. Par
mint Double Strength), about 70 cents
worth Take this home and add to it u
pint of hot water and OF. of granulated
sugar: stir until dissolved Take one
tablespoonful four times a day.
Parmint is used in this way not only
to reduce by tonic action the inflammation
and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and
thus to equalize the air pressure on the
drum. but to correct any excess of secre-
lions in the middle ear, and the results it
gives are nearly always quick and eff
fective.
Every person who has catarrh IN any
form should give this recipe a trial and free
themselves from this destructive disease.

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. As soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.
1t is good insurance against such
risk to send 10 cents for a sample
package of vAnuric " ii the latest dis
covery of DIR. Pierce. Also send a
sample of your water. This will be
examined without charge by expert
chemists at DIR. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. When you suffer from
backache, frequent or scanty urine,
rheumatic pains here or there, or that
constant tired, WORKOUT feeling, it's
time to write DIR. Pierce, describe your
symptoms and get his medical opinion

to be 81 times more active than ithia,

WHEAT GOOD IN JEFFERSON.
No Damage From Insects-Crop VIII
Make 25 Bushels an Acre.

Make bushels an acre.
Leavenworth, Kan, June 9-In the
western part of jefferson county there
IS fine prospect for a wheat crop.
From Valley Falls southwark along
the course of the Delaware river
through the section of country around
Meriden, Ozawkie, Thompsonville and
Williamstown farmers estimate that
the wheat from present indications
will make an average yield of rs bush
els to the acre.
Frank Keim, a business man of
Ozawk1e. who is engaged in wheat
raising, thinks wheat throughout that
section will easily make an average of
IS bushels to the acre
None of the wheat growers through
that part of jefferson county express
any fear from insects. Those who
nave been talked to said they thought
the wet, cold spring has kept the Hes
sian fl1es, chinch-bugs and other pests
IN check considerably. This years
crop is too far along wheat growers
think to be injured to any considera BILE
extent by insects.

Leoti Kan, June 9.-Several thou

wasting on the ground in western
Kansas for lack of live stock to con-
sumo it, There has been a shortage
of good beef cattle on the farms since
the country began to settle up, owing
to the fact that too many farmers
preferred to do straight grain farming
Some of the farmers who do not
like to milk cows are investing their
money in stocker cattle and will mar

men when patients complain of backache
or suffer with irregular urination, dis
passage. The general symptoms are rheu-

dizzy spells, irritability, dependency,
weakness and general misery. Worry

symptom of kidney disease. Thousands
have testified to immediate relief from
these symptoms after using DR.. Pierce's

what are known as drainage districts.
The districts are formed usually by
the majority, sometimes two-1hrds. of
the persons VINO own the lands to be
drained and who SIGNIFY their desire,
according 10 certain legal methods,
that such lands be drained. If a pc
tition be approved, then all action

legal procedure and under the care
and supervision of state authorities
Every possible precaution is eXer-

proposition, free from speculation and
exploitation for personal gain.
Taxes are levied upon the land 10

issued, for the continuing costs and
for the completion of the work. Taxes
