Frozen Twice. Apple, Made Good

In speaking of peculiarities of eli
mate this week Mr.. T. I. Duffield OF
Paonia said: Years ago when l first
came to Delta county. myself and
brother bought some land on which
was a bearing apple orchard. In the
spring the trees were full of bloom.
but on going out one morning We found
them so covered with snow that you
could not see bloom. / said to my
brother that we could throw up the
land deal. on which we had but made a
payment. However the snow melted
off and the fruit set on the trees as
though nothing had happened, All
went we'll until we went to pick the
fruit. when along came another cold
spell, and, going out to begin work
early in the morning we found the
apples shriveling from frost. | asked
the fruit association manager what to
do and was advised to let the apples
alone until the sun came out and
warmed them up. This we did and
were surprised to find them as firm and
nice as ever. l then made up my mind
that country where apples would
freeze in the bloom and when ripe and
still make good, was the greatest
country on earth.
Mr. Duffield is now in the fruit busi-
ness at Paonia and is also cand idate
for county commissioner on the Repub-
lican ticket.

Republican Rally.

Despite inclement weather a good
audience greeted the Republican speak
ers billed for the Opera House Monday
night.
Ex-Gov. Jesse Mcdonald was the
first speaker. His address was short
and to the point. He eulogized the
Supreme Justices, pointing to prosper
GUS and peaceful conditions which their
without fear or favor" decisions
helped to establish in Colorado. He
touched briefly his own past in Office
and promised, if elected governor, to
recommend direct primary Law, to
give everybody square deal and
administer the affairs of the state to
the best of his ability as he could see
the right.
Supreme Justice Goddard followed in
like short address, touching briefly
upon history of the state in the i'm
mediate past and the parts played by
the people, the legislatures and the
courts.
Judge King was the next speaker.
His address was likewise brief, directed
to his neighbors. who have known him
long and have later urged by united
voice his nomination to the Supreme
court bench. Judgd Kings speech was
entirely concilliatory, and in it he
mentioned a number of his Democratic
friends who had declared their inten-
tion of supporting him.
The principal speaker of the evening
was Hon. c. A. Ballreith of Pueblo,
who held the interest of the audience
for an hour as he brought home fact
after fact in his political argument.
Taking Mr.. Bryans biblical words:
by their fruits ye shall know them, -
as text, the speaker exposed one
false prophecy after another as history
has revealed them in the past twelve
years. proving that the Republican
party had been the protector and the
builder at all times, and that to its
statesmen was due the greatest epoch
of prosperity ever known.
Hon. 7. B. Mcdonald of Cripple
Creek was the last speaker and while
excusing himself because of the late
ness of the hour, captured his hearers
with q good story, boost for Colorado
and some splendid political points made
in eloquent argument
A feature of the entire meeting waa
Characteristic mildness of expression.
Very little was said to engcnder hard
feelings on the party Of any present OF
contrary belief. and nearly every speak
er had a fowcry tribute for Colorado
and Delta county.
The gentlemen Grartette, composed
nf Messrs. Merrill. Arthur, Kyffin anc
Anderson, rendered four political num-
bers that were enthusiastically cheered
Each of the speakers had the best oi
applause. There was not single
interruption.
Gov. Mcdonald. Judge Goddard anc

CHAMBERLAlN'S
COUGH REMEDY

This we'll known remedy has been
or the market for one-third of cen
fury. Starting from small beginning
it has grown in favor and popularity
until the demand for it often requires
shipments in carload lots. 1t is now
on sale at almost every drug store
and most country cross road stores IN
the United States. There is no ques-
ton as to its merits; in fact, the enor-
nous sale on it has been brought "a
bout to a large extent by the perso-
nal recommendation of people who
have been cured by it. When you
use a remedy fer cough or cold and
find it far superior to any other that
you have ever tried, it is natural that
you should tell your friends of your
good fortune. 1t has become the moth
ers' favorite for coughs, colds and
Group, as they found that it can al
ways be depended upon and that IT
contains no opium or other harmful
drugs. During these years in which
we have been making, selling and US
ing this preparation we have never
known of single case of cold re-
sulting in pneumonia when Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy was used, which
leads us to believe that it is certain
preventive of that disease. The fact
that it can be depended upon in every
case has crowned it with the success
it enjoys.

Severe Attack Of Grip
Cured By One Bottle Of Chan
berIain'S Couah Remedy.

"When l had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
W. Perry. Editor Of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, N. Y. This is the honest
truth. I at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking teaspoon
fnl Of this remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come on at night
would take dose and it seemed
that IN the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and l would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its ac-
comparing pains. To sly that the
remedy acted as most agreeable sur
prise is putting it very mildly. had
no idea that it would or could knock
out the grip, simply because had
never tried it for such purpose, bat
it did, and it seemed with the second
attack of coughing the remedy caused
it to not only be of less duration, but
the pains were far less severe, and I
had not used the contents of one bot
tie before Mr.. Grip had bid me adieu.'

DANGERS FROM GRIP

An attack of grip seldom results
fatally, but it is the indirect cause OF
many deaths. If it does not result in
pneumonia, which is frequently the
case, it leaves its victim with cough
which fingers on long after every
other symptom of the disease has van
ished. The system is thus left in a
weakened condition and is susceptible
to almost every other disease. The
grip can be greatly lessened in its
severity if Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy is used, ard any tendency toward
pneumonia is promptly checked There
is no medicine which has met with
greater success in the treatment OF
this disease. 1t cures the cough and
leaves the system in natural and
healthy condition

HOW TO CURE
THE GRIP

Rest, warmth and quiet are the three
sovereign remedies for this disease, and
the best preventives of its secondary
complications. Go to bed and remain
in bed until we'll on the way toward
recovery. Two or three days in bed
when you first contract the disease IS
better than two or three weeks later
on. Also take double dose of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy to begin with
and then the regular dose every hour.
If it should nauseate, discontinue it un-
til the nausea subsidies and then take
it in smaller doses or less frequently.
Before going to bed take two Of Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets
and battle the feet in water as warm
as can be comfortably borne. If the
attack is a severe one take sulphate
of quinine in doses of two grains each,
every four hours, for few days. 1t
will help up the vitality and enable the
system to withstand the attack.
