goods they are receiving is inferior
to those sold by the local merchants,

house has $1O5.OO OF their hard.ea-n.

them to do is accept such goods as Is

standing that the members of the club
will get their groceries at wholesale

Film Play Tells of
Victory of Science
Ouer tuberculosis

Printers Home in Colorado Springs
is the theme of film which will be
shown at the Crystal theater tomor-
row at matinee ut 3 o'clock and at
night under the auspices of Grand
Junction Typographical Union No.
2g2. "A Durable Disease" is the Ii
tie of the picture. and it recites the
story of young linotype operator in
New York who is engaged to a girl
but just before the marriage he
learns that he has tuberculosis. He
realizes that he cannot marry her
until he Is cured and so he goes west
to the Union Printers Home in Col
orado Springs where he Is given
treatment. This institution. as is
well known. Is supported by the
Typographical Union, and there the
young man battles for his health. A
tender touch of human interest Is
woven in when one of the nurses falls
i'm love with her patient. and although
he realizes her infatuation he refuses
to allow himself to return her affec-
ton while his fiance still waits for
him in his old home. The nobility of
the nurse is exhibited when she
writes to the Girl Back East to come
and claim the man she loves.
Many scenes in Colorado Springs
and about the home are shown in the

pictures ever seen in this city.
