Lots of Fesdess

Louis H. kephart came in with
his second installment of lambs
last Saturday, 5eoo head in all.
This is his second shipment from
points in New Mexico and
makes, SO far, 1000 head.
He has contracts already for
over 10000 head, all of which will
be delivered here within a few
weeks. Lamb feeding this year
is going to be very expensive
business to handle, but there is
every reason to believe that those
engaging therein will make lot
of money.

Wave Of Reform.

A general wave OF reform
against gambling seems to be
sweeping over the state. District
Attorney Selig Of Montrose has
closed gambling at Ouray and
says he intends to close every
gambling place in the seventh ju-
dicial district. Sheriff Whipple
of Golden raided a gambling
house near Denver few GAYS
ago and con6scated the gambling
devices and arrested the keeper.
Sheriff Binner of Leadville act
ing on information from private
citizens has frightened the lid in
Leadville and says every gam
bling house in Lake county must

pulp, when properly dried, brings
about $I4'per ton in eastern mar
k,.ts. 1t is also shipped to Ger
many where. it brings $40 per
ten. Nearly all the Michigan s,l.
gar factories are equipped with

they find a ready market for all

cost about $4,000.

Thomas A. Edison, the great Amer.
ican inventor. says "Fully eighty per
cent of the illness of mankind comes
from eating improper food or too
much food; people are inclined to
over-indulge themselves" This is
where indigestion finds rs beginning
in nearly every case. The stomach
can do just so much work and n,
more, and when you overload 1t. or
when you eat the wrong kind of food
the digestive organs cannot possibly
do the work demanded of them. 1t
is at such times that the stomach
needs help; it demands help, and
warns you by headaches, belching
sour stomach, nausea and indigestion
You should attend to this at once b,
taking something that will actual,
do the work for the stomach. Kodol
will do this. 1t is combination of
natural digestants and vegetable ac-
ids and contains the same juices
found in healthy stomach. 1t is
pleasant to take. 1t digests what you
eat. Sold by Ikelman Bros.

Hog Disease.

A new hog disease has devel-

heretofore mentioned in The
Chieftain. 1t is causing great
loss to the growers and seems to
battle the skill of all veterinarians.
Recently the state bureau of ami
NAL ,husbandrv sent man down
here, but he, too, gave it up. Now
the agricultural college at Fort
Collins has taken it up from a
scientific standpoint, as it has al
SO done with the beet situation
and there is reason to believe that
those experts viii locate the cause
of the disease, tho it may take
some time to do so.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordin-
ary colds and. recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception. and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to bc
contracted when the child has cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks in. cold than in any
other Of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a
cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable cures
effected by this preparation have
made it a staple article of trade over
a large part of the world. For sale
