Sykeston, n. d., Jan. G.-Joe Paa
discovered blaze Oozing from hole
on the north wall of the News Office.
The alarm was Immediately given and
the fire eXtinguished before much
damage was done. The total loss will
not exceed SIS. From all appearances
the Office had been SET anre 1T looked
as though the hole had been bored
through from the outside and oil
poured in and then set fire. The edl-
tor later received an unsigned letter
through the mail warning him to re-
main silent and not investigate the
origin Of the fire or they would get
him next" A further investigation is
being made to find the guilty party
or parties. The fire that destroyed
the Atkinson building and damaged
the News office last September started
in mysterious way and it looks now
as though Sykeston is infested by
fir bug and an effort should be made
to apprehend the guilty one and let

WATER in EAR DANGEROUS.
Causes Ailments, According to Spe
eialists-Warnina to Swimmers.

s"ssS ~ -
Sioux City. July 2s.-People who are
fond Of swimming should wear rubber
ear stops and learn to breathe correct
iy while in the water, If they would
avoid ear trouble. according to the eye,
ear, nose and throat doctors of the
city. Every year during spell Of hot
weather numerous cases Of ear trouble
arise among swimmers, they say. Z
Entrance Of water into the ear is
frequent cause Of trouble. Dirt and
sand are carried in with the water and
produce pain. The water loosens the
wax of the ear and causes 1t to hit the
ear drum, giving roaring sound.
Instead Of taking proper methods to
get the water and wax out, people try
to relieve the condition by a toothpick
OF = hairpin. Many complications arise
from this treatment the doctors say.
y Recently one doctor was approached
by . man who complained Of being
deaf in his right ear. The doctor
looked into it and saw it was full OF
sand. It required nearly half an hour
Ito remove tho soil deposit. Upon being
ouestioned tho patient Informed the
DOCTOR that he had been diving at
lake and had struck bottom on the
side of his head. He had brushed the
sand away from the outer part OF the
ear. but did not realize that the inter-
'ior cavity was filled.
Improper breathing often allows
sand and dirt to get into the eustach1an
Tubes and It then gets into the ear.
irhe fact that the. sand has entered the
tar from Internal passages prevents
*. sw,mnner. from knowing what Is
wrong with his ear.
