NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN.

d. E. Gibson said that if betting was
appropriate in conjunction with a Red
Cross campaign. he was viking to bet
that for the size of the town and the
average wealth of the citizens, Canon
City donated more money to the Red
Cross in proportion than any town in
the whole United States.
All Mitchell needed just $3.50 to
make up total OF $500 for his team
on Monday. He went up to see DR..
Pickard at the last moment and Sc

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

only one way TO cure catarrhal deafness.

infamed you have rumbiing sound or i'm
