THE PIGEONS GOT AWAY.
County. Atty. Nelson Sent Carrier
Pigeons Out of City saturday.

The release of the two carrier
pigeons from the Rexall drug store
of Jno. G. Schimming was carried
out last Saturday morning at ten o.
clock and the pigeons sent on their
way back to st. Louis. Judge Spring
er was to release them, but he had
to leave on the a. m. train so the
next best man was secured in the
person of our popular county atty.
j. A. Nelson, and he made one of
his nat and effective talks to hee
crowd present, while Rev. Father
Hogan held his watch. to give the
signal to release the birds. Atty.
Nelson held the box containing the
pigeons, but they didn't seem to
want TO leave him when he opened
the door to give them libertv so
Mayor Bucknell reached in the box
and pushed the racers into the air.
They shot east on Water street to
Steyer's opera house, circled back as
far as Hanson & Janson's grocery
then north, and in a minute or so
found their bearings and shot of
south towards St. Louis. One of the
pigeons carried the following mes
sage from Mayor Bucknell:
ITO the Hon. Gov. Gardner, of
ssouri:-Greeting from the big
gest little city in the world. Health
wealth and prosperity to the Rexall
convention"
R. BUCKNELL. Mayor.
DEBORAH. Iowa.
All the Rexall drug stores doing
business within 500 miles of St.
Louis released pair of pigeons at
the same time. The first birds to
reach st. Louis lofts will receive a
prize. To date we havn't heard
whether the birds from DEBORAH won
or not, but I'VE will say they were
going some when they left here.

Sims OPPOSES
NAVY GAG RULE
Philadelphia Students Told
Free Talk Would Aid
National Defense.

Philadelphia, Feb. 21.-Criticism
of military and naval affairs, un-
hampered by gag rule, is an import
ant factor in advancing national de-
fense, Rear Admiral W. s. Sims
told an audience at the university
day exercises of the University or
Pennsylvania here today. He re-
ceived the honorary degree OF doc
tor of laws from the university to-
day.
The speaker drew lessons from
the experiences and writings of
Washington. and declared the teach
ings of the first President had been
disregarded continuously.
Patriotism is not in itself suffi-
cient to win long and bloody wars,
Sims said. Efficiency in national
defense. the admiral said. depends
on a clear public understanding of
the necessity for and the necessary
elements of preparedness, and frank
criticism is necessary for the ere
alton of an enlightened public opin-
ion.

CUT THIS OUT
Old English Recipe for Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness and Head
gs Noises

|
II you know Of some one who 10
! troubled with catarrhal deafness,
head noises or ordinary catarrh
cut out this formula and hand It
to them and you may have been
the means of saving some poor
sufferer perhaps from total deaf
| ness. In England scientists for a
long time past have recognized
that catarrh is a constitutional
disense and necessarily requires
constitutional treatment.
Sprays, inhalers an< nose DOUGH
es are liable to irritate the delicate
air passages and force the disease
into the middle ear which fire.
quently means total deafness, or
else the disease may be driven
down the air passages towards the
lungs which is equally dangerous.
The following formula which is
used extensively in the damp
English climate is a constitutional
trultment and should prove espe-
cially efficacious to sufferers here
who live under more favorable
climatic conditions.
Secure from your druggist one
ounce of Parmint (double
strength). Take this home and
add to it u pint of hot water and
a little granuated sugar; stir un-
til dissolved. Take one tablespoon
full four times a day This will Of
ten bring quick relief from dis
tressing head noises. Clogged nos
trils should open, breathing be-
come easy and hearing improve
as the inflammation in the eus-
tachian tubes is reduced. Parmint
used in this way acts directly up
on the blood and mucus surfaces
of the system and has tonic act
ion that helps to obtain the desir-
ed results. The preparation is easy
to make, costs little and is pleas
ant to take. Every person who has
catarrh or head noises or is hard
of hearing should give this treat
ment a trial. (adv) |
