Mr.. George D. Holden judged the
show and gave general satisfaction.
They are going ahead with another
exhibition next year and the farmers
who were slow to believe that there
was any difference in poultry are now
making inquiries as to where they
can get the best of the several breeds
that were exhibited there. tits these
local shows that make the chicken
business; the more of them the more

Startling But True.

dred people lost their lives, yet more
than five times this number or over
5000 people died from pneumonia in
Chicago during the same yesr,. with
scarcely a passing notice. Every one
of these cases of pneumonia resulted
from cold and could have been pre-
vented by the timely use OF Chamber

who had every reason to fear pneumo-
