''Take care of yourself" j" say our friends. 'I'n try to, we answer. We do take little care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers and mackintoshes, an army of people were bowled out by pneumonia and other lung and chest diseases last winter. They caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon them, were torn by coughs, choked by inflammations and compositions, wasted by fever, tired out by pain and then gave up the fight. The hour you realize that you have a cold on the chest, place Benson's Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres- sion is felt. If you think two are needed mako it two. No harm if you were cov- cred with them. They act quickly and prevent the engorgment of blood in the organs. In this way-with ordinary eau ton as to exposure-you will break up the cold and avoid a serious sickness. No other applications, or any other form of treatment, will accomplish this as certainly and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis tinct and positive action and are curative to the highest degree. Use them with the same confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma- tism, the grip (back and chest) and all sim liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer CTS from cold weather complaints, should keep these plasters always within reach

Six of them stood their horses in the road in lonely spot and banged away what Pat called the s'influence." I joshed them all awhile and shook hands all around and said "Boys I am sorry l can't be with yeu always" and rode my wheel right through the bunch. I was out of sight before they had time to miss me with their added brains.

They don't seem to think human life worth half as much as a hOrse The other day passed along a road near place visit called Bridger and right by the side of the road was the blood and brains of a man killed the night before. Children passing to and from school stopped in curiosity to view the gruesome sight, and that is what one hears of only too often, Some of these little burgS back in the hills have delightful people living in them and most of the fights and scrapes take place in saloons or gam bling places. Such conditions | ex- pect must prevail for few years and then there will be no more wild west Settlers are coming into the valleys rapidly and new and better blood is raising the moral standard.
