A. e. Lerehs Of Springfield Gives q
Recipe for Getting Over the Blues

IF you ever get the blues" he said,
"it is well to know the simplest and
best way to get rid Of them. Cranki-
ness, nervousness and general upset
condition preceding the blues usually
are due to the relentless grip of con-
stipation on the nervous system. The
simplest way to meet this condition Is
to have a box of Rexa,l Orderiies in
your pocket and the best way Is to
take one when you feel the attack com.
ing on. 1t Is the finest laxative for
men, women and children know of,
and is regular antidote for the blues
the best ever"

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. t.
Secretary Bryan informed Germany
through Ambassador Bernstorff in
maintenance Of strict neutrality, the
United States was obliged TO refrain
from investigating the charges that
American manufacturers sold dun
DUN bullets to the allies.
In his note to Germany, Secretary
Bryan stated that President Wilson

take the statements and charges un-
der consideration, it could not inves-
tigate their truthfulness.

Makes Confession.


Pete Wakeline who, with Frank
Marrs, was taken into custody, fol-
lowing the fremont bar hold-up, has
made a statement in which he i'm
plicates himself and his partner,
Marrs. Action against both Wakeline
and Marrs will be started within the
next day or two. All efforts to To-
cate the stolen money have to date
been unfruitful, though the sheriff's
office is hopeful of finding it within
a short time. The contents of Wake
lines statement has not been disclos-
ed, but Sheriff Hoffman asserts that
it is quite sufficient upon which to
secure the conviction of both Wake
line and Marrs. Clarence Tyler, night
marshal, who was injured in a pistol
duel, was able to be out on the street
short time last evening and again
today. Though still weak as the re-
suit of his frightful experience, Mr..
Tyler seems to be convalescinp salts
factorily. 1t will be several DAYS be-
fore he viii be able to resume his du-
ties, says the Telluride Journal. Both
Wakeline and Marrs were former Du-
range residents.

How To Cure La Grippe Cough.

Coughs that hang on" demand
treatment. Stop and think! Reason
and common sense tell you that it is
folly to grin and bear it." Those
racking la grippe coughs that wrench
the body and cause soreness and
pains in the lungs yield more quickly
TO Foley's Honey and Tar than to
any other treatment. Forty years rec
ord of successes proves this. For
coughs, colds, Group and other dis
tressing ailments of throat, chest,
lungs, larynx and bronchial tubes, you
can find nothing that will compare
with this reliable remedy. S. G. Wall,

The Proposed New County of Nance,

The Proposed New County of Mancos.
The movement on foot to create the
new county of Mancos out of por-
ton of La Plata and Montezuma
counties is not meeting with favor.
1t would work considerable hardship
on both the old counties and probably
be of little if any benefit to the ter
ritory included in the new. If the
division is made as outlined in last
Mondays Herald, it would mean that
our county would lose Thompson's
Park, one of the wealthiest agricul-
tural sections in the southwest, and
considerable valuable mining area. We
have heard it rumored that our rep
resentatives are in favor of the pro.
posed change. If so it is up to our
board of trade and other organiza-
tions to get busy and let them know
that it does not meet the approval
of the people.

Fishing and Hunting Licenses
