The readers of this paper Will be pleased
to learn that there is Mt least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all Its stages. and that is catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being II constitutional disease, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure Is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature In doing Its work. The
prOprietors have So much faith in Its curA.
tive powers that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that 1t fails to cure.

In the beautiful White river valley,
where Indian chief Colorow once
roamed the plains and plateau, hunt
ing the wild horse and the cow.
Where the once brave redskins ram
bled then was never seen a plow,
there they met their dusky sweet
hearts or the chiefs met In pOw-wow.
Where the mountain lion and bob
cat for existence left their lair to
prey upon the antelope, the sage hen
and the hare, where the sneaking
yellow coyote makes night hideous
with his howl, or creep around some
barnyard seeking victims 'mong Tie
fowl. Through this grand and noble
valley murmuring down it's slant
ing way, through high majestic
mountains runs river clar as spray,
and it borders in it's windings, reach
ing far to crone and dell, the little
town of Meeker that many love so
well. Now in this pretty valley,
where the redskins loved, to roam,
and rested meath the grottos of the
mighty Rocky's domes, is this little
town just MENTIONED where another
race of men who have crowded out
those redskins and settled in the
land. Did I say that they had set
tied In this good and fertile land, and
crowded out the legions of this Colo
row band; well they certainly did
settle and to their hearts content,
for now you often hear of them on
some great pow-wow bent. Just be-
fore the winter season u gathering of
white chiefs was held for consulta-
tion, and they formed their bylaws

CURED IN the mountains on upper
Beaver creek early this week, accord
ing to J. w. Hun, when riding the hills
in search Of cattle, who was an eye
witness Of the battle, says the Canon
City, Colorado correspondent OF the
Denver Republican.
He said the fight started on the
scraggy point of a mountain, where
the lioness jumped onto the deer
which turned and fought the lioness
with its antlers and hoofs. They
rolled down the hillside into a gulch
breaking down oak trees as thei
fought. The battle did not last a greai
while, as the lioness was much the
stronger. The deer was badly claweC
and chewed and soon fell from loss o.
blood.

Cancer Is far from i%ncurable, accord
ing to DR.. Nicholas Sem, in a lecture
on "The Problem Of Cancer" at the
University Of Chicago. DR.. Sem de-
clared that 80 per cent. Of the cases Of
cancer which are brought to the atten-
ton of physicians in the first stages
may be cured. In the course Of his lee
ture DR.. Sem advocated the establish
ment OF some sort of bureau to keep
the public informed as to the nature
and the cures Of cancer, as is done IN
some cities of Europe. Many OF the
victims OF cancer prevent cures by be.
coming Respondent and keeping away
from good physicians, he said.
IF the disease is detected In It's
early stages a cure may be affected,
said DR.. Sem, but II It is allowed to
go to an advanced stage nothing car
be done.'

She advanced $2,000. It wasn't long before Mr. M, requested another loan, again getting $2,000. Next Mrs Z., gave him $1,0Oo and then she gave him $3,O00 more in response to MT.
