the diseased portion of tho ear. Thero la
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.

when It Is entirely closed, Deafness Is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can bo re
duced and this tubo restored to Its nor

bince so many questions concern
ing school lnw comes up, it 'Beeins
well to include the substance of my
answers in the school notes. This
will give others an opportunity to
gather information that they may
have been wanting for a long time,
and, too,- it will give me an oppor
tunity to clear away many erroneous
constructions that have been put on
some school laws, and to kill off at
least some of the school law that is
always being passed around that nev
er existed as written law. This un
written school law Is troublesome
stuff, causing many heated arguments
nnd misunderstanding and bringing
about trips to Dakota City to settle
something where there should have
been no question. In order to be of
further service, I shall be especially
glad to have in writing the questions
concerning school matters from any
one residing in Dakota County.
Here are some of the questions
that have cor.ie to me recently, which
are merely ..dlcated Many of the
people seem to believe contrary to
the facts that tho statutes of Ne
braska mako provisions for legal hol
idays for schools; that corporal pun
ishment is prohibited in tho Schools;
that tuition may be collected from
certain persons residing in the school
flist.rlnt: thnt a eountv sunorintend-
autoed ent may discharge a teacher; that a
county supefiitenuent may force a
district to maintain a school; that a
county superintendent may determine
the grade of school to be maintained
in a district; that tho industry of
the homo goes ahead of the educa
tion of the child; and that the first
bond that a school treasurer gives
holds good for each term for which
ho Is re-elected. Those pe pie who
think these things to be true are in
need of information.

- I wonder ivhnt mv rondors are do
I ft" It ward piot6ating the homestead
from lire. The season when we
agi'-i make use of stoves, furnaces,'
or broplaccs is almost hore.v Always'
Milh tho opening of thin season come1
repuit of destruction of farm resl-l
dences and other buildings by flic.
A little time spent in Inspecting the
stove?, furnace.", p'poa nnd chimneys '
m-iv -av heavy losses n little later. :
It ; estliintod that the annual fire
lots in the United States amounts to
nhfi.t n quarter (If n -million dollars.
While Uio country doer, not miller
lnii'iy very hmvy losses, as does the
city, the total, were we able to ar
rive nt it, won 1.1 bo appalling.
In addition to the precautions to
which I havO referred thero are '
ll 1 rs to be observed. One of these
ho- to do with tho use of the auto
mobile and with tho storage of gaso-'
Hno. Grcr.se and oil-soaked rags aro
ficr-uently, found where the trnctor.
is stored or the automobile housed.
A park in such combustible mater
ial may store a disastrous fire.
Whilo referring to tho automobile
ns an added source of danger as re-i
crards farm llros it is also true thnt
in connection with the telephone it
may prove a source of safety. After
a lire is discovered neighbors may be
notified by automobiles nnd In a few
mirtttes be on hand to assist in fight
ins the fire, providing ft re-lighting
apparatus is at hand. This leads me'
to ask: Have you a long ladder that
will reach to the roofllof house or
h"n? Many a building has burned
all becnus of the lack of such a lad
der. Now that so many farm resi
dences are provided with running
water it is important that in connec
t if n with such u plant one have a
hoe of suiricient length to u?e in
ca-c of fire. Then, whether one re
lics upon waterworks or buckets in
fighting flic, he should always have
handy and within easy reach one or
mere chemical lire ' extinguishers.
Even in the city, where water is to bo
had in abundance in fighting fires, I
chemicals are more and more coming,
into use. j
This little talk is not new. You
'nay say that you have heard it bo
fore. Perhaps you have. Have you
heeded it? Today building material,
and especially lumber unless wo buy
wooden ships nt $2,100 each Is far
too expensive to be permitted to go
up in fire. Then, there aro the con
tents of these buildings, and moro
important still, perhaps the loss of
life. Dante M. Pierce.

Think It Over!
Are you going to stay home all winter, or will
you seek the comforts and benefits which the de
lightful, semi-tropical climate of the South affords?
Geographically, the South is not as far away as it
seems, but climatically ( in winter ) it is about as far
away as it could be and in the right direction, too
--for balmy breezes, sunny skies, moonlit bays, trop
ical flowers and foliage are the order of the day in
winter time in the Southland.
And, those who pack their grips and bid farewell
to the North at this time, reap rich rewards and
return with a full realization of the real value of a
winter's vacation in that romantic, historic and
beautiful land south of the Mason & Dixon line.
Instead of saying to yourself--"I wish I were in
Dixie," why don't you go South this winter? The
cost is low perhaps not as much as you thought it
would be, when the price of things generally is con
sidered, and you deduct the cost of staying at home.
Tickets covering tours to Florida, the( South Atlan
tic and Gulf Coast states, Texas and Cuba are now
on sale. You can go one way and return another;
there is splendid train service via Denver, Kansas
City, St. Louis and Chicago; liberal stop-over priv
ileges, final return limit May 31, 1922. 4
When you're ready I'll gladly Kelp you plan,
your trip and malice your reservations.
