THE GRANGE FAVORS
DISTRICT OPTION LAW

The members of the state Grange.
who held their winter session in
Denver recently, went on record as
favoring local option in the matter
of herd law for Colorado.
A -iegislative committee was ap-
pointed TO go before the general as
sembly and urge the passage OF a
bill for county or district law in
stead of general state law.
Many livestock men said in the cam
paign of last fall that they favored
such a plan and now it will be put
up to them.
In all fairness 10 the farmers of
Colorado members of the legislature
can not refuse to submit local op-
tion law 10 the people to be voted on
at the next state election.
The proposed herd law, which was
up at the last election. was opposed
by the cattle men because they said
it was gotten up by the Denver Post,
and they dubbed 1t the POST Herd
Law" in derision. Besides, they claim
ed that it was too sweeping in its
provisions.
The proposed Jaw is altogether diff
ferent and the farmers OF the state
are behind 1t.

Uric Acid!

Ever since the discovery Of Scheelc in
l775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet and ankles, gout, etc.
1t was DIR. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered n new agent
called Anuric, harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the croaky
Joints and ell the distressing symptoms
of rheumatism and other maladics dis
appear. You can easily prove this yo'ir-
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DIR. Pierce loc. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than lthia and eliminates uric acid as hot

WRECKING OF ADOBE

good cheer among his guests by treat

wild grapes, which had flavor and
body excelling catawba wine. Norton
Seeding grapes were also used by
him in the manufacture of wine.
Mr.. and Mrs. Helm raised strawber-
ries on their property here which
readily sold for a dollar quart. The
strawberry season was a favorite
time for the young folks of the county
to come to Canon City and enjoy the
entertainment provided at the hotel
by the Helms. The young men would
put spring seats on the lumber wag-
ons, the only kind of vehicles of trans
portation in the county at that time,
