dollar we got hold of would go out OF
circulation We would smoke only
when some stranger dropped into
town and gave US cigar. We
wouldn't take our home paper nor

what we absolutely had to haye.
We would go about the streets with
long faces and roar because taxes
were SO high, and 1t costs SO much to

what we had to sell. and 1t was i'm
possible for us 70 get ahead. Just

CONDITIONS ARE AS GOOD
HERE AS ANYWHERE

A gentleman remarked to the Daily
Record reporter this afternoon that he
knew of five families that had moved
away from Canon City during the last
three months because business condi-
tions were not as good here as they
desired. They expected to benefit
themselves by the change but In every
instance they were disappointed, in
fact, found things far duller than they
were here, and have all come back.
Commercial men In all lines of bus
mess agree that trade is better In
Canon City than In almost any other
town in the state. Experience has
proven to good many people that
nothing is to be gained by going in
search Of more prosperous communi-
ties. Such places, like the wiil-o-the-
wisp. are pretty difficult to locate.

FIRE BRICK COMPANY
TEMPORARILY CLOSED DOWN

The Diamond Fire Frick company
has temporarily shut down owing to
the difficulty Of finding market for
it's product. A large number OF or
ders were booked by the company at
the beginning Of the winter. but many
of them were cancelled when the A.
nancial upheaval in the east took
place and others postponed the time
for delivery. Manager Jewett left
last week on a business trip to Salt
Lake City. San Francisco. Los An
geles and the Nevada mining camps,
and, IL he succeeds in bringing back
any business, the plant will soon start
up again. 1t seems certain that it
will not be idle very long.

ALL PARTIES LOOK ALIKE
To London Times, Which Comments
 on Triumph of Rooseyeltism.

London, March 30.-The Times this morning commenting editorially upon what it describes as the remarkable change which has occurred in the atti- tude of the political parties in the united States towards President Roosevelt and his policies, says that his award for holding to that policy against all opposition is one of the most remarkable personal victories ever won in public life. There Is no policy before the people of the United States. says the Times. except his policy. Party lines have been obliterated and the three candidates now before the coun- try are politically indistlnguishable. Their programs are all of one color and that color is new in American politics.
 That is a very curious and interest ing situation" continues the Times: "it revives ones faith in individual worth and ability, proving that under the most democratic forms man may still impose his personality upon the conduct of nations affairs

PLAIN TRUTH.
From Thirty Years Experience.

The plain truth from simple, homes, folks, is the very best testimony any, one can ask. Here's what a N IF man says about coffee:
 "As have had 30 years experience with coffee and it's effects. I may he permitted to say something pertinent to the subject
 My appetite began to fail. food dis turbed my stomach, bowels became badly constipated. was restless. sleen so greatly disturbed I dreaded to go to bed.
 My stomach got so bad could nor eat anything for supper but milk and a cracker. In the evening I would be so thirsty nothing would satisfy me but cup of strong. cold coffee.
 Coffee was my invariaIble drink for breakfast. with a doughnut or piece of toast l was all the time consulting the doctor, taking digestive prepara- tions to help the stomach. and cathar- tics to move the bowels, freauentlv having attacks of terrible pain in the bowels which would necessitate call- ing the doctor.
 After many years of this, I became convinced that something must be done.
 At last l got hold of Postum and began using it in place of coffee and have continued to use it daily for the past six years. The improvement was gradual but sure. For the system re- quires time to recover from the dam age done by coffee and feel the dull benefits of Postum
 Improvement has continued from the very first to the present. DIges- ton grew better. bove1s began regu- lar, and at bedtime now anueipate good nights sleep with pleasure.
 ''The change from coffee to Postum has made a wonderful change in my condition. It could not be expected that a man S1, with years and 10 months service in the army. could be made young again. But do hon. estly believe that I state the plain truth when I say that if I had not changed from coffee to Postum I should have been, by this time. a helpless invalid, if alive"
