LOCAL BASKET BALL
TEAM LOSES OUT IN
STATE TOURNAMENT

The Dickinson high school basket
ball team, champions of the South
western district Of North Dakota, was
put out of the running the first even
ing of the state tournament in Grand
Forks, being defeated by Michigan
City, % to 16.
Playing the best game of the
season the Michigan City athletes
seemed to have but little trouble
wading through the Dickinson defense
for repeated tallies. The Grand
Forks Herald stated that the Dick
inson boys fought gamely, but the
wonderful playing of Churchill, Michi-
gan's star, seemed to sweep every
opposition off it's feet. McCutchan
did the best work for Dickinson and
tailed the most points. He was an
aggressive player, and as a conse-
quence was kept closely guarded.
Richards also played a strong game
for the losers. -.
The summary of the game follows:
Michigan City =. Dickinson
Churchill IF McCutchan
Fowler If Richards
Kallestad AL. Brodie

Field goals: Churchill, z; Fowler,

HOW TO RELIEVE
HEAD NOISES
GOOD ADVICE FOR THOSE WHO
FEAR DEAFNESS

People who are growing hard OF
hearing and who experience a stuffy
feeling of pressure against their ear
drums, accompanied by buzzing,
rumbling sounds in their head like
water falling or steam escaping should
take prompt and effective measures to
stop this trouble. Head noises are al
complete or partial Deafness and
most deaf people suffer from them
constantly. Sometimes these head
noises become so diStracting and
nerVe-racking, with their never ceas-
ing hum" they drive the sufferer al
most frantic and complete nervous
breakdown may result.
Thanks to a remarkable prescrip-
ton, il is now possible to lessen the
severity of these head noises and
often completely overcome them and
with the disappearing of the head
noises the hearing also greatly i'm
proves and very frequently can be
restored to normal. 1t can be easily
prepared at home and we believe is
a most effective treatment for this
trouble. From your druggist secure

this home and add to it 4 pint of hot
water and ounces of granulated
sugar. Stir until dissolved. Take one
tablespoonful four times a day. Par
mint is used in this way not only to
reduce by tonic action the inhamma-
tion and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, but to correct
any excess of secretions in the middle
ear. and the results it gives are usu-
ally quick and effective.
