Wounds, Bruises and Burns,

BY applying an antiseptic dressing
to. wounds. bruises, burns and like
injuries before inflammation sets in,
they may be healed without matura-
ton and in about one-third the time
required by the old treatment. This
is. the greatest discovery and triumph
OF modern surgery. Chamberain's
Pain Balm acts on this same princi-
pie. 1t is an anti-scptc and when
applied to such injuries, causes them
to heal very quickly. 1t also allays
the pain and soreness and prevents
any danger of blood poisoning. Keep

and it will save you time and money,

Ordway's Proposed New Water Sys-
tenn Abandoned.

The following from the Ordway
New Era indicates two reasons for
the failure of that towns proposed
new water system: Inadequate sup
ply of water and failure to sell the
bonds, either of which are vital:
The town board at its meeting last
Friday evening surrendered the Mock
and Thompson springs to their own
ers, thus ending the new water supply
discussion. so far as the town con-
cerned. Failure to sell the bonds is
the cause"
"A party of our citizens went out
to the Mock and Thompson springs
last Sunday to satisfy themselves as to
their virtue as a water supply. There
are conflicting reports as to this mat
ter, but most of them report that the
springs are shy in the supply of wa
ter"
Query: Does this indicate that the
Fowler water which Rocky Ford pro-
posed to buy will also not stand the
test of critical examination as to its
quantity?

ii. G. Garwood was candidate Tor
county clerk two years ago. and made
race at that time which stands as =
record in the matter OF majorities. as
witness these figures:

Roosevelt's majority in Rocky
Garwood ran ahead of Roosevelt in
seven precincts aud tied him in an
other. In precinct No. 4 he beat Ted
dy by thirty-two votes. and in No.
by twenty-seven votes. His majority
in the entire county OF Cos votes Is
the largest ever given candidate on
the local ticket in the county.
