ID W. Ross, secretary of the Canon
City Merchants Association. Is in re-
ceipt of a letter from D. r. c. Amelss
of ST. Louis, under date of the 18th
inst. acknowledging the receipt of
copies Of the Canon City Record and
the booklet recently issued by the as
soclatton descriptive of the towns and
its environs. in the course of which

Yours is certainly a charming COM

home and otherwise. The climate in

Canon City must indeed be one of the
garden spots of the world"

'25. 900 population In 1912" said Mr..
McLain, "can be brought about If we
work for II, but 1t will not be attained
without effort.
"If the boosters of Canon City will
convince people In the east of our re-
sources, of our magnificent business
and climatic advantages and OF the
desirabllity of this locality as place
of residence, thousands of whom. like
the Mlssourians, are waiting to be
shown they will have to build a
stone wall around Fremont county to
keep them out. Canon City has the
climate, the scenery and the CONNER
cial advantages that must inevitably
make her great, but to be enterprising
we should accelerate destiny by boost
ing"
Mr.. McLain told an excellent story
in illustration of the boosters idea
which awakened general applause.
He said: "A little boy who owned
a lot of Bantam chickens was dissatis-

in the hen nests, and desiring to in
spire his flock with an ambition to do
better in this respect, procured an
ostrich egg, which he hung up in the
middle of the hen house and under
meath tackled a. big placard on which
was printed in childish letters the
following legend: Look at this and
do the best you can"
so it is asserted Mr.. McLain,
with the people of Canon City, who
by keeping in mind the motto, '25,o00
population in 1912 and doing the
best they can will achieve great re-
suits"
Other speakers were DR.. r. H. Cra-

Senator Forney spoke at consider

its resources and Its surroundings.

muddy condition of Main street and
the hoodoo and misfortune that is
popularly supposed to attend events

The gloomy weather of the previous

and the opinion was generally express
sed that those in charge of the parade
should postpone it until more aus

and announced that the arrangements

and to look after score of things

fornightly meeting last Monday
evening with Mayor Brown in the
chair. and councilmen responding to

Cell, Yeoman. De Weese, La Shier.
with Morris on the absent list.

that the city should have meat in

with all the right and privilege ap-
pertaining to that office. by the city
dads.

by the sugar company does not seem
to be materializing quite as rapidly
as the council desires. and a COM

J. j. Dunlap and W. H. La S;:ier.
were instructed to wait on the La
Junta Electric Light Company to as
certain what they would do in re-
gard to.furnishing the town with
light. The matter of lights for the
town is something that has been
holding fire for some time, and is
something that should be attended
to at once. as being in total dark
ness is not to the liking Of any cit
izen of this community. The cam
paign at the factory is drawing near,
and with it will propably be men
who would rather obtain their
money by means other than work,
as was demonstrated last year on
several occasions. Electric lights
/ would help to a great extent in elm
mating holdups, etc, and it be-
hooves the council to get busy and
put in lights of some description
without any more delay than is alb
solutely necessary.

Tells How To Prepare a Simple
Mixture To Overcome Dread
Disease.

To relieve the worst forms of
Rheumatism, take a tcaspoonsul
of the following mixture after each
meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can
be obtained from our home drug
gistS, and are easily mixed by
shaking them well in a bottle. Re-
lief is generally felt from the first
few doses.
This prescription, states a we'll
known authority in "A Cleveland
morning paper, forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood the poison
Gus waste matter and uric acid,
which causes Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the
most painful and torturous disease,
but dangerous to life, this simple
recipe will no doubt be greatly
valued by many sufferers here at
home, who should at once prepare
the miXtHre to get this relief.
1t is said that a person who
would take this prescription reeu-
larly, a dose or two daily, or even
a few times a week, would never
have serious Kidney or Urinary
disorders or Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it..
Good Rheumatism prescriptions
which really relieve are scarce. in
deed, and when you need it, you
want it badly. Our druggists
here say they will either supply
these ingredients, or make the
mixture ready to take, if any of
our readers SO prefer.

GROWING CHILDREN.
Advice to Mothers of Mt. Ster-
ling.

Perhaps the most important
principle involved in the care of a
child is the proper nourishment.
How many delicate children do
we meet on our streets with color
less cheeks and thin little legs and
arms. 1t is very plain to be seen
that rapid growth takes all their
strength and their little bodies are
not receiving sufficient nourish-
ment to make them well, strong
and robust.
We want to say to the parents
of all such children in Mt. Ster-
ling that our delicious cod liver
and iron preparation, Vinol, will
build up delicate children, fill out
hollow cheeks and make them
strong, robust and rosy. Vinol
makes new vitality, sound flesh
and muscle tissue and pure, rich
red blood, and children love it.
This is because Vinol is a delicious
tasting cod liver preparation with
out oil, made by a scientific, ex-
tractive and concentrating process
from fresh Gods liyers, thus COM
bining with peptonate of iron all
the medicinal, healing, body-build-
ing elements of cod liver oil, but
no oil.
AS a body builder and strength
creator for old people, delicate
children, weak, rundown persons,
after sickness, and for chronic
coughs, colds, bronchitis, and all
throat and lung troubles, Vinol is
unexcelled. Try Vinol on our
offer to return money if it fails to
give satisfaction.

Prohibition For WdShinqtOn.

There are increasing probabili-
ties that the question of prohibi-
ton in the District of Columbia
will have to be met by members of
the new Congress, as much as they
would like to dodge it. While
most of them are opposed, it is ia
ken as matter of course that
their constituencies will compel
them" to vote for the movement.
A bill would undoubtedly pass the
House, though the indications are
that it would not reach vote in
the Senate. Senator Gallinger,
tie chairman of the District Com
mittee and number of other
prominent members, including
most of the Democrats, are in
cling to the view that the matter,
if 1T cannot be STAYED off, should
be left to vote of the Districts
citizens and this may be the result
of the agitation. Out of total
vote of about sixty thousand in
Washington, the negroes would
cast about twenty thousand. An
election here would be worth run
ming one-third fare excursion rates
