The only sure way-
to have money is to save it. The one sure way to
save it is by depositing it in a responsible hank.
You will then be exempt from the annoyance of
having it burn holes in your pockets, and aside from
the fact that your money will be safe from theft,
the habit of saving tends to the establishment of
thrift, economy, discipline and a general understand-
ing of business principles essential to your success.
To those wishing to establish relations with a
safe, strong bank, we heartily extend our services.

OF ClWiARRON FOLKS
DEATH ANGC-U TARING TOLL
Three Deaths Reported and Large
Number Sick
The epidemic of grip and colds is
still raging and has developed into
pneumonia in many places with some
fatalities. Dr. Steele has been rid-
ing day and night trying to relieve
the situation but has found it hu-
manly impossible to give all the at-
tention they require. He expressed
the opinion that the epideiA would
abate if a good snow would fall at
this time. He thinks the dry windy
weather has something to do with
the unusual spread of disease. The
.colds and grip axe a malignant form
of it and leave one feeling bad for
days after they should be over it.
The doctor cautions against any un-
necessary exposure as the pneumonia
generally follows an epidemic of the
grip, and pneumonia is very liable
to be fatal in this altitude.
Heisson Baby Cied Monday
Carman Creed Henson, live year
. old soh of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Henson
of west of thg city tiied Monday
night of membranous croup, after a
very short sickness. The baby had
not been well for some days and its +
condition was probably ful y realized
by its parents until it was in a very
..dangerous state. Every effort was
made to save the little fellow but
to no avail. This was the second
child Mr. and Mrs. Hanson have lost
since they have lived here and their , ^ <j>
grief is great. They have the deep j ^ ^
