Counting it only in dollars and
cents. how much did that last cold
cost you? A man may not always stop
work when he has a cold, but per-
haps it would be better if he did. 1t
takes about ten days to get complete
ly rid of a cold under the usual treat
ment. That time can be much short
ened by taking Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and proper care of yourself,
in fact. a bottle of this remedy in the

The demand for encores was insis-
tent after each selection, both the

ers were generous in their response.
One of the finest numbers on the
program was the group Of two folk
songs. arranged by Richards, the first
sang without piano accompaniment,
the heart strings of the great auii-
ence forming a sufficient accompani-
ment to the harmonious and haunting
ly-beautiful melody. The second was

in Welsh, seemed perfectly intelligi-

with much applause. The solos by
S. Jenkins, John Williams and NJ. j.

of musical excellence and delighted
the hearers.
Each responded graciously to en-
cores, which were enjoyed greatly.
The solo, "Niryana." by Mr.. jenkins
was especially artistic. and his beau

delight.
The quartet. Holy Night" was
most beautiful and well received.
Prof. Evans piano solo was well
chosen and artistically rendered, and
added much to the program.
The delightful concert closed with
the singing Of the national anthem by
the choir and audience. and the people
of Canon City will hail with pleasure

Gamers Submit To
Rigid Test To
Have Pure Goods

The National Gamers Association
is comprised OF practically all the big
canning factories of the nation. None
of the goods of these factories go out
to the consuming public with the ap-
proval of the N. C. A. unless the label
or can bears the official seal of the
association.
This seal indicates that the product
has passed the severe test for santa
tion and purity required by the N. C.
A. The test is twice as drastic as
that imposed by the government.
Every plant coming under the super
vision OF the National Gamers Asso-
citation is inspected every day by an
Official inspector of the association
who is employed and paid by the as
sociation, and is answerable only to
them. and not to the member whose
goods it is his duty to inspect.
He investigates as to sanitation of
the factory, the method of handling
both goods and cans. and the product
itself must undergo detailed and mi
mute examination. If the product
passes a certain percentage the goods
are permitted to go out under the Of
ficial seal OF the association, which
appears in red on the can, and thus
the consumer can be assured that he
is getting goods of the highest purity
manufactured under the most health
full conditions.
The Colorado Packing Corporation.
with plants at Canon City. Delta and
Loveland, came through this packing
year with a score of 100 per cent per.
feet, which entities them TO place the
n. a. c. inspection seal upon every
can of their product.
The N. A. c. Inspector was on the
job every day of the canning season.
and reported to his headquarters each
day. The government inspector was
here but twice during the year. Re
