would not come, but that the United

MAKE THIS ACCORDING
TO THE DIRECTIONS

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article TAX
en- from New York daily paper, Civ
ing a simple prescription, which is
said to be positive remedy for back
ache or kidney or bladder derange-
ment, If taken before the stage Of
Bright's Disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, oneounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bed time.
A well known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre-
scription, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at a small cost from any good pre-
scription pharmacy or the mixture
would be put up IL asked to do so. He
further stated that while this pre-
scription is often prescribed in rheu-
matte afflictions with splendid results
he could see no reason why it would
not be a splendid remedy for kidney
and urinary troubles and backache as
it has a peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most
important organs and helping them
to sift and filter from the blood the
foul acids and waste matter which
cause sickness and suffering. Those

This Suggestion Fits
Canon City as Well
AS It Does Denver

There should be no hesitation about
providing a force of this kind, either
by the state or by the city.
Inquiry into the condition of the
dairy from which the infected milk
was delivered in this instance seems
to lead to the conclusion that the
infection began with the deposit of.
disease germs by flies; and this in
turn reminds one of the warfare on
those insects which sanitarians have
strongly urged. Whether it Is prac-
ticable to destroy the flies, it Is evil
dent that owners of dairies and mark
cts should be compelled to protect
milk and articles of food from these
pests. The utmost care might fail to
prevent the spread of disease, but
much would be accomplished II an or
der of that kind were strictly en-
forced. Housekeepers and managers
Of hotels and restaurants should in
like manner guard against the distrib-
ution of disease germs.
The obligation to enforce in the
strictest manner possible all needful
sanitary laws is one which the NUM-
cipal and other authorities should
never ignore, for it involves not only
protection to the lives Of people, but
also the prevention of great economic
loss which otherwise might be caused.
LOSS of time, cost OF medical attend
ance and impaired strength due to dis
ease amount to many thousands of
dollars, and this loss falls ultimately
upon the state.
