THOUSAND DOLLAR
WAR-SAvINGS CLUB

A plan has been worked out by the
Denver War-Savings Committee to
form a One Thousand Dollar War
Savings Club. Solicitations are to be
made throughout the city of Denver
for the members of such q Club, the
agreement being, each with the other,
that they will purchase as rapidly as
convenient during the year 1918, the
maximum allowance of War-Savings
certificates under the law, viz: One
Thousand Dollars. A Government
worth fighting for is a Government
worth saving for.
$1,000 maturity value) Of War
Savings Certificates purchased during
January, 1918, will cost you $824O0.
On January l, 1928, you will receive
for these certificates from the Govern
ment $1,000. The difference between
cost and maturity value ($176) rep
resents 4 per cent interest on your
investment compounded quarterly for
the period Of five years. In other
words, you are discounting the prom
issory note Of the United States Gov
ernment on q per cent interest basis
compounded quarterly. These certi-
ficates are the only security known
today which you can purchase with
absolute insurance against a possible
decline in value, for each certificate
contains schedule showing month by
month during its life a guaranteed
price at which the Government will
redeem such certificates in case you
need the money.

PTTKIN TAKES ACTIVE STEPS
AGAINST SMALLPOX EPI

Pitkin people are right up against
an epidemic of small pox. The town
is pretty well exposed from q family
named Pruitt, that arrived the first Of
the month from Nevada. However,
town authorities at Pitkin promptly
took the matter in hand, and have es-
tablished q quarantine which should
protect the rest of the county.
1t seems Mr.. Pruitt, his wife, two
children, and brother-in-law, named
Wellman, came in along in early jan
uary, the men to work in the mines.
Along the first of the week, Pruitt be-
came unwell at the mine where he was
employed, and after sticking it out for
several days, came down town. There
he got worse, but still appeared on the
streets. Saturday, members of the
DIR. Hanson, from Gunnison. He
promptly pronounced it small pox. In
the meantime, Wellman had came to
Gunnison and gone thru to Denver,
and we understand from reports, has
been put in the pest house there upon
appearance of the disease. Also, one
of the Pruitt children was taken sick
at school in Pitkin, and is down.
OF course, this gives the disease
good start, but the town council at Pit
kin should be given appreciation for
the best action possible. No one
can leave the town or mines of Pitkin,
while the quarantine is on, and it may
last some time, if other cases develop.
General vaccination is the rule at Pit
kin now, and sore arms will be univer-
sal for few days.
Salida is having a serious time with
small pox which also got thoroly seed
ed in that city. The Salida Mail says
in its latest edition.
"Dr. F. A. jackson, city physician,
is preparing to issue an order to all
owners of dogs and cats to keep them
confined, lest they cause the spread Of
small pox.
DIR Parker, county physician, yes
terday ordered all the children in the
smelter school to be vaccinated.
George H. Day, board manager Of
the B. of r. T., was taken i'll of small
pox Sunday and he was quarantined
at his home. Mr.. Day was a passeng-
er in the Pullman car in which Mrs. e.
H. Lowry was travelling when she ar
rived in Salida with small pox.
John Cox, of the car department Of
the D. & r. G., also was pronounced
i'll with the disease. Mr.. Cox went IN
