A girl when in her teens is passing
through a critical period of her life.
The transition from childhood to
maturity is not always easy; conse-
quently, in many cases health breaks
down entirely and the girl goes into a
decline and dies young. If she es-
capes this fate, she may fall into a
state of permanent ill-health. 1t is of
the utmost Importance, in order to in.
sure normal and healthy development,
that proper precautions be taken, and
nothing has proved more helpful than
the faithful use of Lydia Il. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, the great
woman's me61cine and tonic.

an OPPORTUNITY FOR
FREMONT COUNTY

The farmers of Fremont county
have an opportunity to secure some
real biooded stock from Wisconsin.
the greatest dairy state in the union
Mr.. H. C. Nevius OF .he Colorado
state dairy commissioners office is
going to Wisconsin in the course of
the next week or ten days to- purchase
some stock for the farmers of Garfield
county and has offered to select and
ship stock to the farmers of this
county if they desire it. he will ac-
cept no pay or commission for his
services.
Last spring the farmers or Las Ami
mas county received two car loads of
Wisconsin stock and last year the
farmers of Garfield and Montezuma
counties obtained several car loads
of this same good Wisconsin blood
and found the investment an excellent
one.
Orders have already been placed
with Mr.. Jeffries. the county agricul-
tura agent. for half car load, but it
will be necessary to make an entire
car load before asking Mr.. Nevius to
make re purchase.
This is a great opportunity for the
farmers. Are they ready to take ad-
vantage of it? They can have the
services of man employed by the
state to choose their dairy stock for
them without expense. He makes but
one trip to Wisconsin year now
is the time to give him an order.
High grade heifers from three
months to two years of age can be
delivered in Canon City for approx
mately from s75 to s110 head. Other
stock in proportion.
Farmers desiring to take advan-
tage of this proposition must do so
at once or it will be too late. The
offer will be called off on Saturday OF
this week. If you are Interested in
the matter phone or see Mr.. Jeffries,
county agricultural agent, without de
lay.
