through my kidneys. At night, the
secretions were too frequent in pas

at w. w. Gibson's Drug Store and
they cured me. Doan's are the best

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There Is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constlt-
utional REMEDY. Catarrhal Deafness
is caused by an Unframed condition OF
the mucous lining of the Eustachlan
Tube. When this tube is infamed you.
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result. Unless the IN
famation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Medicine acts through the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

A year ago similar reports reach

manner. Pure Food Commissioner
White made an investigation and
discovered THAT the animals had eat
en- leaves from wild cherry trees that
poisoned them when they drank
water. They bloated and died

this year Somewhat of mystery

ever, Il is believed to be due TO some
poisonous weed. Because the sheep
died In large numbers no attempt
has been made to bury them with the
result the csrcasses are rotting In the
sun.

MUST KEEP THEIR DISTANCE
No Fishing VIII be Allowed at or
Near Dams OF Irrigation Head
gates.

In order TO protect property from
damage on the part of those who are
in sympathy with Germany and trait
ors to their own country, the Farm
ers' Protective Irrigation Association
which comp rises practically all of
the upper Snake river canal associ-
ations. can under the law keep peo-
pie away from fish ladders, canals
and dams IS well as headgates. This
is the advice that the attorney gen.
erals department gives John Empey,
president If the association in an
swer TO mis- query. Assistant Attor-
ney General Pope wrote the instruc-
tions
Some time ago President Empey
notified the attorney generals de-
partment that the association had
held meeting and fearing the can
ais and headgates OF the various ir-
rigation systems might be attacked
by those who sympathized with Ger
many had decided to place guards on
both and keep them away. The
question whether the association had
the right to keep fishermen holding
state license to fish away from the
canals came up. To get some light
on the issue the attorney generals
department was queried
In reply Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Pope says that the law provides
ii is misdemeanor to fish within
500 feet of fish ladder or dam in
any stream in the state and therefore
all parties may be barred by the as
sociation from both. With regard
TO keeping parties away from head
gates and canals. the attorney gen
eral said that the association could
use its own judgment and II II deem
ed the conditions justified the action
II would probably be within its rights
due to the present war emergency.
The association feared that an at
tack on the canals and headgates, II
successful would mean ruined crops
and. having we'll grounded suspic-
ions that such an attempt would be
made decided to take steps TO block
the proposed plan. The paries said
to be behind the plans are known to
the authorlties.-Capital News.

sheep men are looking forward to a
nice revende from this source to
compensate them for the s25 hay fed
last spring and the 500 sheep herd

es are not expected to continue very
long. as the heavy shipments from
the western ranges. which have hard
ly begun will weaken the market.
During he past week a buyer for
Hatch & Snyder. OF Denver. has been
operating in this section and bought
nearly 100000 lambs. for which he
paid uniform price OF s14 per 100
pounds, the deals aggregating close
around a nillion dollars. Harry
Fike sold him 1000 head. which he
bought from Joe Ybarguen at s10.25

Irrigation Law.

What Is the law about irrigation
water?" Well. now. that's quite a
question. The only absolute honest
man on the ditch no matter how long
and how big or little or old or new.
is the one at the very last end OF the
ditch. The law says you must do
this or that, but there Is another law
hid away that says you don't need to
do it IL you don't want to. When you
see one man win his case, don't start
something on the same basis. for
you might not win at all. The best
guess on any water case. In the last
guess made by the supreme court
Less than that is all up In the air.
and might be changed in any case. A
little more water and little less
law is what the most of you are look
ing for. Caldwell Tribune.

Predicts Poor Market for Potatoes.

t-IcnttS IoOf hdIhct LOT 1OtdtOtS.
Mr. Wan Wagner. our esteemed
townsman and expert potato grower,
contributes the following interest
ing article on the potato question TO
the Sunday Statesman. which
should be read by all potctc growers
in this section:
Editor Statesman: Your editor
ial, Should Force Harvesting" in
this mornings issue of the States
man, leads me to make a few state
ments that may explain, in part at
least. what We shall hear very often
in the future.
The tales OF crops rotting in the
ground. Cal loads OF food stuffs
dumped in The rivers and all this
KIND OF talk is altogether too COM
mon and not often denied. and sell
dom Investigated.
From now on l have no doubt
that there viii be great many po-
tatoes grown that will never be
harvested. and some will rot in the
ground, not only in Virginia, but
right here in Idaho.
For moGths We have been told
to speed up" and to grow some
! thing to keep the world from starv-
ing and TO win this war, and so on,
but how h,tle of valueable advice
has been given to those who are
making an effort to speed Up.
Last season, as is well known,
there was an exceedingly short crop
of potatoes. and while we had plenty
of substitutes for the same. people
insisted on "spuds," and the price
was run up to unheard-of prices.
Then came the advice about war
gardens" and everyone must have
potato patch, and the result was
that seed potatoes brought Il price
that makes it question whether
the grower will recover the money
paid out Tor seed and other eNpens-
es.
Many people in all p2rts of the
country iei. sure the market for
early potatoes would be very high,
and consequently ii was almost i'm
possible to ouy seed of the early va
rieties, but enough was secured,
however. t. mako an exceedingly
large acreage. and this crop is now
coming on the market.
inexperienced growers CT potatoes
do not know that in many parts of
the country producing early potatoes
that they are perishahle in very
short time and that the bulk of the
late crop is placed in storage for flu
ture use. No one at this season of
the year would think of buying a
supply of winter potc Toes. and con-
sequently at this time and for sever
al months to come there will likely
be great surplus OF potatoes with
consequent poor market.
The writer has grown potatoes In
Idaho for II number OF years and
with modern machinery and equip
melt and with present price of la
Dor, sacks ard other expenses It
will cost most growers at the very
least 70 cents per bushel to put the
potatoes in the bag this year.
Almost half OF this will be for
harvesting hauling and sacks. and
consequently If potatoes to-day
should go down as low as 35 cents
per bushel here in Idaho, the grower
would be money ahead to let his
crop remain IN the ground
Personally l am glad that | do
not have any potatoes that have to
be sold or consumed to keep from
rotting. My crop will not be ready
until October and can then he

Capt. c. V. Beggs. of Buhl. in COM
mand of Co. X. End Idaho, who has
been on duty at Tooule, Utah. where
the company was called to dispel a
striking element, has apparently
overstepped his authority and Is now
subject to sn investigation with the
prospects OF court martial. 1t
seems that one particular person
made himself prominent by insulting
the dag and the uniforms OF the SOL
diers, and this infuriated the Ire OF
Capt. Beggs that the man was taken
in charge of and placarded with signs
and marched through the streets of
the town. From the press dispatches
it was apparent that the Captain was
right In arresting the man, but over
stepped his authority in using any
personal violence toward him.

We have heard much the past
week about the activities of the /.
w. w. in Idaho, and especially in the
mining and timber districts In the
northern part of tho state. Jerome
has not escaped a visit from these
agita.ors, Is several were here last
week endeavoring TO pursuade the
laborers III this section to become
identified with them, but from all
We can learn they had little sue
cess, which Is evidence that the la
boring men throughout this district
are satisfied with conditions. And
well they might be. as 1t Ia almost
impossible to find men for the hay
fields. and when found, they are
demanding $500 par day and board
which is equal at least TO $3.50 per
day. But speaing of the activities
OF the l. w. w. In the north, should
they succeed in creating any trouble
among the miners It is likely that
the government will take hand In
the matter, as the mines are under
contract with the government TO
furnish them lead during the pres
ent month, and federal troops will
see to It that the mines are allowed
to operate.
