Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever, nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
Iars for any case Of Deafness (caus-

Too much credit cannot be given
TO the new Jerome Highway road
boss, Mr.. Turner. and the local board
or managers, consisting of John
Hartshorn. DR.. Leon Phillips and
Albert Hawdinson.
For the first time in eight long
years have these gentlemen accom-
plished the construction of road
from the Newman and McGinnis
ranches to Jerome that Is as good
and now better than the similar
stretch of road from the Newman
ranch to Shoshone. And that is not
all, as these gentlemen, with the pro
per headwork have graded the west
part of Main street in a manner that
is most acceptable to those, who
through necessity or pleasure, see fiji
to use
We want to say that this much
needed improvement is greatly ap-
preciated by all, anI the old-time
saying of former city councils and
road commissioners that it cant be
done, must take off their hats in
approval of the work done. Let the
good work continue fellows. We
are for you.

Must Have Facts

During the past week we have re-
ceiyed several letters from different
parties over the tract unsigned, com
planning as regards the labor situa-
ton on the farms. Their complaint
is along the lines that at any time
during the day on a visit to the pool
halls of the town they find from a
half dozen to twenty-five able-b bodied
men spending their time ii the card
and pool tables, who, on being asked
to work, fatty refuse when at a time
like this every one should do his
best to assist in getting in the crop
and helping to take care of them.
There was recently posted in the
windows of the various stores notice
to the idle that If they did not care
to work they should move on and if
any of the ranchers who, on ap-
preaching these idle men in hopes of
getting help find that they will not
work ii is that farmers duty to re-
port the matter at once to the de-
Tense board, who will see that the
Stacker is properly dealt with, but
before you make a report to the
board be sure of the facts in the
case, as the board can not act on
hearsay
We admit there are a number of
idle men on our streets daily, a
number of whom are anxious to go
to work. A big percentage. however,
are of the Stacker and !. w. type.
and it is the duty of every one to
help rid the community Ct this lat
ter class.
