How To Prevent Group.

It may be surprise to you to learn
that in many cases Group can be prevented.
Mrs H. M. Johns, Elida, Ohio. relates her ex-
perience as follows: "My little boy is subject
to Group. During the past winter 1 kept a
bottle of Chamberlain Cough Remedy in the
house, and when he began having that croupy
cough would give him one or two doses of it
and it would break the attack. l like it better
for children than any other cough medicine be-
cause children take it willingly, and it is safe
and reliable.'' Obtainable everywhere.

Loans on Cotton
at 6 per cent

Last year the First National
Bank loaned money to EVERY
farmer who offered warehouse
receipts for cotton as security,
and by means Of these loans
hundreds of bales of cotton were
stored and sold later at higher
prices which put thousands of
dollars in the pockets of our
farmer customers.
We do not advise the farmers
to store their cotton this year nor
do we advise them to sell at the
present prices. This is a matter
which should be decided by each
individual farmer according to
his needs and circumstances.
We are prepared however to
make loans, secured by ware
house receipts for cotton, to
those farmers who may wish to
hold their cotton at Six Per Cent
Interest.

cooking is responsible for the limit
clause OF fats. As they usually CONF

average stomach and people learn to
avoid valuable food. Fried foods
should never be eaten. To be easily
digested fats should be neither
cooked nor baked with any other
food, including sugar. starches and

added to other foods as seasoning
after the cooking is completed. As

Roast pork is decidedly hard to di-

AND ARRANGE SCHEDULE
State Fair Association Wants Pueblo
Retained on Southern Colorado
Racing Circuit

Business of the utmost impor-
tance to the fair associations and
kindred interests in Southern
Colorado and New Mexico will be
transacted at the annual meeting
of the Santa Fe Racing circuit
which will be held in Rocky Ford
today.
1t is anticipated that there will
be considerable of a shakeup in
the official board. as President
Brown-who has held that posi-
tion ever since the formation of
racing circuit-firmly declines re-
election, and war has been declar-
ed against Secretary Beaman.
The Pueblo man, it appears, WIS
instrumental in the recent forma-
ton Of a new race circuit in North
ern Colorado and Wyoming. In
the new association j. l.. Beaman
was elected secretary and the
State Fair at Pueblo was given
place upon the northern-circuit.
AS Mr.. Beaman was secretary of
the Santa Fe circuit when he ac-
cepted the new secretarpship he
was in a position where he could
double cross" either if he saw
fit.
AT a meeting in Pueblo on Sat-
urday the state Fair board was
shown by Secretary Pollock Of the
Arkansas Valley Fair association
and other representatives of
Southern Colorado fair associa-
tions how conflicting dates had
already been allotted by the
northern circuit and further
trouble would come if the same
secretary were retained for both
circuits.
The State Fair officials saw the
JUST ce of the claims and will
doubtless come to the meeting to-
day with Mr.. Beaman's resigna-
ton and an earnest request that
his traitorous acts be not held
against Pueblo, the most northern
point of the Santa Fe circuit.
