Why is a boil sore?
Did you ever stop to think of the
real reason?
A boil is a battle ground between
two armies; one is the invading army
of bacteria which obtain foothold at
the root of one Of the tiny hair follicles
or in one Of the sweat glands or one
skin. From this foothold as vantage
point. the bacteria rapidly grow and
multiply millions Of times a minute.
An invading army must have food to
support it. The bacteria draw upon
the nourishment of the surrounding
flesh cells of the body to give them
food and drink. Meanwhile other
things occur. AS the bacteria grow
and develop they throw off certain
waste products as a result Of their
growth, which are known as toxine.
These toxines act as violent irritants
to the tissues in which they circulate.
If the tissues at the point of invasion
are f1abby and on-resistent the in
fective germs rapidly advance. gain
access to the blood stream. infect the
delicate Emphatic vessels and rapidly
circulate through the general blood
current of the individual, producing
generaliZed blood poison.
But they do this only If they have
things their own way. That is TO say,
If they meet with no opposition, or no
resisting force from within. If they
are opposed boil usually occurs.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Please tell me the cause of dread
full roaring in my head. Some days it
is worse than others. have had it
for years. Is it due to the fact that
the nerve in my left ear is degenerat-
ingo Some have told me that it is the
hardening of the bones in my ear.
Sometimes my blood pressure is higher
than it should be. Could that cause
it? Also, when l take a little cold in
my head the roaring grows worse, and
spit up hard humps that comes from
my head, but my sputum has no odor.
Can you suggest something that will
give me relief?
Answer-It may be that you have an
ankylosis in the joint of the three ear
ossicles. If this is the case it is quite
likely that you will continue to have a
throat sprays nor local applications to
the ear can do no good oftentimes if
the ankylosis of the ear joint has be-
come of n chronic nature. The best
lnlns you can 90 rs 10 keep your IN
ternal system purified by suitable adj
justment of the foods that you eat,
that the physical condition of your
body is properly supported but not
over-stimulated. DO a little expert
menting with the foods you eat, and
see which give YOU greater comfort.
For examples live for the next two
weeks upon strictly fruit diet. and
see if that gives you any more relief

BASKET BALL DOPE.

Last Thursday evening the Omak
and Oroville high school basket ball
team pranced around the floor of the
Omak gym. battlings for supremacy.
No mention had been made of the
prospective game in the Gazette, as
no information on the subject had
been given out for publication, and
hence the public were not aware that
such contest was on the carpet un-
til a report of the result filtered
through the community. The Omak-
Oroville game was a warm and exclt
ing affair, resulting in a victory for
teh Oroville boys by a score of 80
to 13. 1t was the first time this season
that the local outfit has hitched up
with seasoned and expert team of
basket ball performers, and the VIC
tory was the more creditable on that
account. The Omak team has played
the crack Okanogan aggregation to a
standstill, and made a good showing
against the almost invincible Concon-
ully team.
Last Friday evening the contest for
championship honors was fought out
between Conconully and Okanogan on
neutral territory. the game taking
place at Tonasket. The Oroville boys
as we'll as a large contingent of en-
thusiasts from Conconully, Okanogan,
Omak and Tonasket witnessed the
game. 1t was a superb exhibition of
activity and skill, full of thrills. Each
of the teams had won a game, and the
third trial was to decide the supem-
acy between the schools. Naturally

The following telegram was receiv-

This recognition of Okanogan coun-

pleasure by the people of the north
part of the county. The amount set
aside for road No. 10 should 60 long

of the people Of Oroville. Tonasket
and the valley is to see that the mon
ey Is placed where it will do the most
good. In the past much of the appro-
priations have been injudiciously ex-
pended. The cost of surveying has
eaten great hole in the sums allow
ed, and 1t has always looked as though
the same expenditures had to be made
every time even small amount was
spent on the state roads. II the money
now available can be properly dis

GOOD ADVICE.

To the Editor of the Gazette:
AS seed potatoes are going to be
very high priced this spring, and a
great many people who contemplate
planting large areas will be unable to
purchase seed, the next best thing to
grow will be onions, something which
can be raised here to perfection A
combination crop of potatoes and on
ions is one of the best from a ship
pers standpint, as potatoes and onions
are the only farm truck that can be
shipped in mixed car lots at car load
rates. Why this should be SO is hard
to explain. The rate from Oroville to
Seattle, or Spokane, on potatoes, or
onions, or both together, is 10 cents
per hundred pounds, whereas the rate
on other mixed cars, say potatoes and
carrots, or rutabagas or cabbage, is
40 cents a hundred, hence the advisa-
bility to plant potatoes and onions in
preference to other root crops, or
truck.

the two antagonists played their best.
Okanogan finally went down to defeat
by score of 80 to 16 in favor of Con-
conully. That victory leaves Concon-
lully high champions of the county, or
leaves the question of supremacy be-
tween Conconully and Oroville. After
the game arrangements were made for
a game between the two teams, and
by mutual consent the game will take
place next Friday evening at Okla
hogan.
1t Is permissible under the circum-
stances to ring in the stereotyped an
|nouncement that this game promises
to be battle royal, as both teams
are very evenly matched, and cham
pionship honors are always an incen-
tive for the contetsents to do their
level best. Each Of the teams have lost
a single game during the season. Con-
conully has always been a dangerous
rival in school athletes, and this year
can boast Of one of the best basket
ball teams that has ever represented
the school, and that is saying a great
deal. When you come to size up the
record Oroville Is not so slow this
year In the basket ball arena, and If
the game takes place as scheduled 1t
Will be we'll worth travelling a long
distance to see 1t.

NOTICE TO DOG OWNERS.

Marshal Wilson takes this means of
notifying owners of dogs that the an
lmals must be securely muzzled, or
kept tied up at home. The leather hal
ter muzzle does not fill the require
ments of the law. The dog must be
muzzled so it will be impossible for
1t to bite. The marshal has no desire
to kill any ones dog, but the law will
be strictly complied with after Mon
day; and this notice is given in order
that no one need complain of ignor-
ance Of the requirements. The mar
shall does not enter upon this campaign
of slaughter Of his own initiative, but
as deputy sheriff he has been ordered
to strictly follow the mandate Of the
law. so those who may lose dogs
through their own negligence should
have no feeling against the officer for
performing his duty.

SNOW BLOCKADE.

For the first time since the begin
ming Of winter-and winter began as
far back as last November-traffic on
the Oroville-Wenatchee branch was
interrupted Saturday. The arrival and
departure of trains has hardly been
delayed an hour by the exigencies of
the season, and the blockade coming
the last end Of February was very
much Of surprise. Saturday evening
the train from Wenatchee, due here
at lO:15, butted into a cut filled with
drifted snow some two miles below
Okanogan, and there It hung up all
night and until relief engine could
be sent In from Wenatchee. There
were nine passengers on board. Max
ing virtue of necessity they treated
the experience as a joke, and wiled
away the tedious hours as pleasantly
as possible. The belated train arrived
at Oroville at 1880 Sunday afternoon,

in state banks? Two bills are now be
fore the state legislature providing
this. Friends of these bills believs
that a bill of some form will pass
both houses and be signed by the
governor and that this bill will guar.
antee deposits in all state banks. The
general plan Is to tax each bank ac-
cording to each banks DEPOSITS and
this fund shall create a fund with the
state treasurer for the purpose OF
making good any loss Of any bank to
| It's depositors.
The governor signed the bone dry
bill and 1t will become law on June
|6, unless referended. This bill went
through both houses with scarcely a
dissenting vote and yet 1t Is safe to
say that 1t pleases neither the vets
nor the drys. From conversations and
talks in the state house and In the
corridors, it is believed that II the
members of the legislature could have
voted their convictions the bill would
have fallen short of passage by many
votes. 1t went through with big ma
believed In 1t and tho vets rejoice in
1t because they think 1t will make a
joke of the prohibitionists In that 1t
cannot be enforced. The conservative
members are afraid of this feature
and would have preferred to have
left the prohibition law as 1t is. These
men believe the law so drastic and
the penalties so stringent that con-
victions under it cannot be had.
The bill revising the automobile
law has been recommended by the
committee Of both houses and it no
doubt will pass. While Secretary
Howell had nothing to do with the
general framing of this bill he did
succeed in getting two features into
1t and are bound to please the rural
mail carriers and county auditors.
This feature allows the light delivery
trucks of less than one ton to get
through ON a license of $500. Hereto
fore, rural mail carriers having to
take out truck licenses the same as
others and in many cases they have
had to give up their autos on account
of excessive cost. The auditor Is al
lowed to charge fee of 25 cents for
each original application. This goes
to the auditors office.
Whether the name Of Mount Rainier
will be changed or not depends upon
the National Geographic society. A
joint memorial was passed today by
the senate authorizing this society to
hear evidence from all parties and to
then change the name II the evidence
Is strong enough.
Two road appropriation bills were
passed BY the senate. Both for the
purpose of completing contracts al

One appropriates the
permanent highway fund amounting
to $3,942,018. The other bill appropri-
ates the unexpended balance left from
