1t has been demonstrated that with tbs
chronic cough or the chronic cold, which
does not give way to ordinary treatment
there Is more than the usual chance that
there are germs present. It Is not necss.

symptom which should not be unnouced.
A cough must be regarded as only one OF
the most prominent symptoms. but not nee
essarily present. Loss of appetite may indi-
cate the presence Of consumption in It's un-
suspected form. A feeling OF WEAKNESS aft
er the slightest exercise is present in ma
jority of cases Of latent consumption. Per.
sistent or even slight rise In temperature
without apparent cause is another symp-
tom, often attributed to something else.
But one way exists TO cope with laterS5
consumption. That is. II there Is the slight I
est ground to suspect the presence Of the
disease. to begin at once with the Hon pre-
scription. which cured Hammann. and
which works cure in every case where

STILL SENDING CHECKS
w. T. Botsford Wants South Bisbee
 Stockholders to Accept

For several months w T. Botsford. treasurer of the South Bisbee Copper Mining and Townsite Improvement company. has been sending cheeks to local owners of stock in the company. These checks are purported to be the first dividend declared on the sale of the property several months ago for S1 200 ,000.
 Thus far the local stockholders have refused to accept the dividend. and as fast as they have received the checks have turned them over to M. J. Brown, who when enough were col lected would return them. IT. this way several thousand dollars have been refused by shareholders in Cochise county.
 Just prior to the first of the year Treasurer Botsford stated in the let ters he sent with the checks that the | California bank was to be consolidated with the American National. which is new banking concern ia Los An. geles. He intimated that those who did not accent their checks and cash them might lose what was coming to them.
 Yesterday evening Mrs. C. R l Crouch D aced check in the hands oi VI. J. Brown. which will be returned to ] os Aleeles. It is drawn on the American National Mir Brown called attention to the fact that there was nc truth in Treasurer Botsford's intima fiol tha- the checks would not be paiC by he new bank.
