Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into
the middle ear which frequently
means total deafness, or else the
disease may be driven down the air
passages towards the lungs which is
equally as dangerous. The follow

prove especially effiacious to suffer

this home and add to it IA pint of
hot water and 4 ounces of granu-

Take one tablespoonful four times

KENDALL NOT TO
OPPOSE KENYON
Sixth District Congressman Has Writ
ten Senator That He VIII
Not Run Against
Him.

DIES MONIES, Sept 25.-N. E. Ken
dali has written letter to Senator
Kenyon notifying him that he will
not be an opposing candidate for the
senate.
There had been gossip that the
former sixth district congressman
might make the race.
There's nothing to it," says Mr..
Kendall, in words to that effect.
OF course, if Kenyon does not run
Kendall may do so. His letter doesn't
burn the bridges by any means, so
far as other circumstances govern
political cases. But his letter does
make it clear that if Kenyon wants
the nomination Kendall will not be
a candidate.
Of course, Kendall has not been
responsible for the gossip connecting
his name with the job. His good
friends are always eager to promote
his interests. They think he ought
to be in the senate. They have been
discussing the subject. This has EN-.
barrassed the orator from Abba.
One political situation that has
more than congressional district in

sional contest coming on next year
First district politicians several
weeks ago let the state understand
that in all probability Clifford Thorne
would be a candidate for congress
again, and this has excited statewide
interest.
Only a few of the congressional
districts Of Iowa have commanded
outside attention, in recent years.
The contest in the first with Thorne
in the race next year may take at.
tention from the larger fields even
The opposition to Thorne in the
first is getting very active in the
search for a candidate. Friends of
Kennedy, Judge Mols-
berry, Representative kopp and 9th
ers have been diligent and there is
talk Of a conference of those who
want the honor of opposing Thorne
to try to agree on a single candidate.
