drink of water when the animal is
warm. Distemper is especially
liable to attack the young horses
in the spring of the year, just
when their services are most
valuable. This disease is contagi-
ous and care should be exercised
against exposing the young horses
to the infection. The most
common way that young horses
get this disease is when they are
taken to town and allowed to
drink out of public watering
troughs and tied to hitching
posts where other horses have been
tied that had the disease.

AWARD CONTRACT FOR PLANS OF
COMMERCIAL CL LIB BUILDING

After several sessions the COM
mittee of the Commercial club
yesterday afternoon made the
formal award of the contract for
the plans for the new half mil
lion dollar club house and office
block on Eleventh and A STREETS
to Potter & Merrill, the local arch
fleets.
The block selected will be IL
stories, including the basement
and roof garden.
There will be ten stories for
offices and club rooms and the
building will be one of the most
attractive in the city. 1t has
many of the earmarks of Louis
XIV architecture, will contain 25 5
offices besides the space reserved
for the Weyerhaeuser Timber
company and the CLUB and 1t Is
expected to be paying PROPOSE
tion from the start.
The building, according to the
architects estimate will cost just
$357,560 The portion of The
Commercial club would be but
so expensive, because it Is not on
the corner. At this rate the club
has practically completed the bond
subscription that will be needed as
it has now over 100000 sub
scribed and the lots will cost but
$4,000.
The deeds for these lots will be
passed as soon as w. T. Sheard
gets home from his hunting trip
and gets them signed up.

The young man arrived here
yesterday afternoon and departed
last night for Denver, which is as
far as his ticket carries him.
He had just left a sick bed IN

that his mother was i'll. He was
without money, so he sold all
his teeth and gold crowned teeth
which he had pulled for the actual
gold in them.
With the funds thus raised
Sewers purchased a ticket as far

Nothing in the history of medi-

known as poslam, which, II Is safe
to say, has cured more GASES Of
eczema and skin diseases than any
remedy ever offered for these ills.
The success Of poslam is not at
all surprising when It is consid-
cred that even Q very small guam
tity applied to the skin stops itch
ing Immediately and cures chronic
worst cases of eczema, as well as
acne, herpes. letter, piles. salt
rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly
scalp and every form of itch, yield
to 1t readily. Blemishes such as
pimples, red noses, muddy and in-
famed skin disappear almost inn
mediately, when poslam is applied,
the complexion being cleared over
night.
