To Relieve Catarrhal
Deafness And
Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal
deafness and head noises will be glao
to know that this distressing afrl1ction
can usually be successfully treated at
home by an internal medicine that In
many instances has effected complete
relief after other treatments have rail-
ed. Sufferers who could scarcely hear,
have had their hearing restored 70
such an extent that the tick of watch
was plainly audible seven Or eight
inches away from either ear. There
fore IL you know of someone who IS
troubled with head noises or catarrnai
deafness, cut out this formula ana
hand 1t to them and you may have
been the means OF saving some poor
sufferer perhaps from total DEAFNESS.
The prescription can be prepared at
home and Is made as follows:

cents worth. Take this home and
add to it u pint of hot water and OF.

Parmint is used in this way not
only to reduce by tonic action the

structed Nineteen Seventeen
Looks Bright for
CITY.

Nineteen seventeen promises to be
a prosperous year for KeOkuk. There
will be considerable building activity
here as soon as the weather permits
work to start and many important I'M
provements are scheduled for the
year.
Several important buildings are
now under course OF construction or
will go up this spring and these WI!
not only be welcome additions to the
CITY but will be evidence that Keokuk
is going ahead.
Work has already started on the
big new addition to the Standard -Four
tire factory. The foundation for this
new structure is already in and WORK
has new been started on the walls.
The addition will be used as an ofice
and warehouse and will allow the pres
ent building to be entirely turned over
to the manufacturing end.
The Standard Four Tire company
is one of the best additions to indus
trial Keokuk and is business that
will no doubt further expand in the
future
Contracts have been let for the ad-
dition to the Keokuk Electro Metals
company. The company will triple its
output when the new building is put
into use. The addition will be COM
pleted in May.
The Purity Oats company will put
up a two story addition to its plant
for office purposes this spring and the
keokuk Water Works company a
three story coagulant house adjoin-
Ing it's pumping station.
The Pechstein Iron works will build
modern steel and brick plant this
spring to meet the demands made by
Its expansion.
Justice and Hoar will open an up to
date department store at 602-4 Main
street in the old Peterson building. A
modern store front will be put in the
building and masons have we'll under
way an extension of the store to the
alley.
A number of residences are to be
built here during the early months
mostly on outlying territory which
has been opened up.
Street improvements will be ex-
tensive. Main street is to be paved
from Fourteenth street to Twentieth
street, and Franklin street from
Fourth to Thirteenth street with
brick and there will be considerable
cement paving in various parts OF the
city. South Eighth will be naved with
brick also from Nam to Johnson
street. There will probably be sever
nj miles of cement walk laid this year.
Considering all these things, the out
look for Keokuk in 1917 appears I'M
usually bright. New Industries will
probably be announced during the
year and there Is hope that the city
will secure the big armor plate plant.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 15.-The
Iowa senate today voted to continue
to outlaw cigarettes in Iowa. The
Rule bill which sought to repeal the
present anti-cigarette law and substi-
tute a license measure, was killed by
the adoption of a drastic substitute
offered by Senator Proudfoot and
later the substitute was killed also.
The status quo will continue unless
the senate reconsiders its action of
today.
The weakness Of the present law,
Senator Rule said in debate, is that
cigarettes continue to be sold in
Iowa under the interstate commerce
regulation allowing their sale in
original packages.
The Proudfoot substitute proposed
to add to the existing law provi-
sion allowing the injunction and
abatem ent law to be used as in
liquor cases. Rules friends, by
quick maneuver, killed the enacting
clause of the sub bill on vive voce
