In 1872 there was great deal of
diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera in
fantum. 1t was at this time that Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was first brought into use. 1t
proved more successful than any other
remedy or treatment, and has for thir-
ty-five years maintained that record.
From small beginning its sale and
use has extended to every part of the
United States and to many foreign
countries. Nine druggists out of ten
recommend it when their opinion is
asked, although they have other medi-
cines that pay them a greater profit.
1t can always be depended upon, even
in the most severe and dangerous
cases. For sale by Hays & Field and

twentieth national nominating conven-
ton of the historic party, but the first
to meet in a city the site of which was
barren plateau when the Democratic
party nominated in 1856 its last sue
cessful candidates prior to the great
political changes brought about by the
civil war.
The first settlements upon the land
now comprising the thriving city of
Denver were made in 1851 Originally
the. place was called St Charles, but
a little later the name was changed in
honor of General James w. Denver,
territorial governor of Kansas. which
at that time included the Colorado
country. In 1859 the city received its
charter, and In 1868 the first railroad
connection with the rest of the world
was made. In forty years Denver has
grown from next to nothing to undis-
puted greatness. American energy, the
precious metals and the Colorado eli
mate have made Denver the metropolis
of the Rocky mountain region and one
of the most enviable cities In the
world 1t is practically Impossible to
discover anybody who once having
seen Denver will speak III Of the city.
To most persons Denver and delight

Denver and determination also might
be said to spell the same thing. for the

100000 to help defray convention ex-
penses, and the money was in sight be-

RED IN NEARLY ALL FLAGS.
One in the Eastern Hemisphere With

There is only one flag in the Eastern
hemisphere that does not contain red.
That is the flag of Greece.
Other standards in the Western
hemisphere not containing the color
are those Of the Argentine Republic.

Red appears in the pennant of the lear

The war color is also in the United
States mail flag, the pennant for YES

yacht ensign, the ensign Of the revenue
marine, the presidents and the secre-
tarv Of wars standards.
The flags which are entirely of red,
except the devices in some, are those
of Egypt. Morocco, Austria Hungary
and Japan That of Turkey is nearly
all red
The flags of forty-two other coun-
tries also contain most conspicuously
the color which is supposed to repre-
sent war.
AS to devices. the star is represented
on twenty flags; the cross. including
the double cross. on twelve: the anchor
