THE OL AND TH The Colorado Statesman's Work S Liberal Policy. Ten T the Ne Yesterday. Today is all that is given to us. Tomorrow is a vague, never redeemed promise. Yesterday is the recollection of the doings of today. How many can stand in the present and contemplate the history of our todays, as seen in the unchangeable records of yesterday, and feel no remorse? We feel that we have done our duty as we have seen it. From the inception of this enterprise, more than fifteen years ago, the management has sought to make this a journal of opinion for the Negroes of the Rocky Mountain states. The years of our existence is unimpeachable evidence of how well we have succeeded. There have been many hours when the way was dark and gloomy, but we have had the utmost faith in our people. Our policy has been to honestly and consistently defend the rights and privileges of our people, without offense to the rights of others. In these years we have gathered about us an ever-increasing circulation. We have made many good, strong friends, whose wise counsel has been a source of great profit and pleasure to us. Such is the past of THE COLORADO STATESMAN, and we, and all, can point to it with feelings of honest pride, as a business owned and conducted by a Negro worthy their honest and liberal patronage. The Ever-Present. No more eventful year in the history of our people than 1908. It has seen a longer stride up the hill of difficulty made by our people, than in any previous year. It has seen the so often referred to "marvelous progress of the race" assume a more concrete form. It has seen the Negro, in whatever locality he might have been placed, looking out more soberly and seriously on the fields of life's achievements. Following its time-honored custom and policy, THE COLORADO STATESMAN has urged upon its many readers less of extravagant frivolity and more of frugality. Less time for the "ragtime" existence and more of the sober earnestness. Less of the assumption of rights and more of the dignified presentation of oneself before the bar of public opinion backed by sufficient real estate holdings to have your name on the tax-roll. We have not presumed to offer a solution to the vexatious race problems. That includes too much for our talent. But we have sought to inculcate habits of thrift and right living. We are confident that right living will go far toward ameliorating present conditions. During the year we have urged upon our people the great importance of owning homes and accumulating property. We have urged our young people to save their money, to open accounts with the various banks, thereby obtaining a standing in the city and state. We are proud of the progress of our people during the past year. Many new homes have been bought and beautified. Today Denver Negro homes equal older eastern cities. And again, we are pleased to note the many substantial Negroes who have come into Colorado and settled upon farms and are making commendable progress. Some time ago we urged upon our people the importance of a Young Men's Christian Association for the benefit of our young men. The suggestion has been taken up by the ministers and the churches of the city, and the outlook for a healthy organization of this kind among our people is bright. What of the New Year? THE COLORADO STATESMAN wishes all a Happy New Year. The New Year comes to us pregnant with possibilities. It is chuck full of splendid opportunities. In accordance with the policy of this paper, we shall continue it as the organ of the race. We want all our subscribers to feel that its columns are open to them. We believe a paper should keep constantly before its readers the very best of thought. There are many splendid opportunities for our young men and women. We want to know about them. We want you to feel g personal interest in your race and your paper. With more than 20,000 Negroes in Colorado, this paper should have 10,000 paid-up subscriptions. With this we would make many improvements and changes in our paper, and give remunerative employment to more of our people. We greatly desire to increase our circulation during the year. It can be accomplished by and with the aid of each subscriber. Is your neighbor or best friend a subscriber? Do they borrow your paper? If you talk to them, get them to subscribe and pay, and at the end of another year we can show greater improvements. Will each subscriber try this plan? THE LOW POLITICAL DIVES. The white people of this community complain of the great amount of crime committed by Negroes, but those who control the city government donate to low Negroes the privileges of running low dives where the Negro is graduated in crime; and when he goes forth with his acquired knowledge from the schools—the saloons for which the administration is responsible and commits rape, burglary, larceny, or murder then they howl about the Negroes being great criminals. We ask why don't the mayor order the dives run by Negroes and whites closed? Why are so many loafers and gamblers who are run out of the other cities allowed to hang on in Pueblo? Why are the most dissolate women allowed to come here and ply their criminal profession? We will tell you—because two or three low Negroes and white Democrats have sent out the word to the bad element of this state that this city is safe for them to come and operate their unlawful practices, because they say that this is a Democratic town and that the Negroes who play that they are Democrats have a guaranty that they and their unlawful business shall be protected and that all that is necessary for any criminal who comes is to report to the would be Negro Democratic bosses and they will be protected in all they do if they only—claim to be Democrats. Let the decent colored people begin to think on the disgrace reflected on them and the danger that may come to them by the existence of such low political saloons and assignation houses and get ready to vote with the decent people next spring—for it now seems quite certain that the present administration will not close those places but pretect them for political purposes. Colorado Times. COLOR LINE IN NEW YORK Y. M. C. A. Last week the optimism of one of the ambitious men in our office received a most violent jolt when he was refused the privilege of enrolling as a member of the Banking and Investment course at the West Side Young Men's Christian Association on 57th street. One of the officials told him that the institution would enroll no colored person in their educational classes. This man who was refused graduated from their real estate course last year, and he inquired if any colored member of their association had ever misconducted himself, or had acted so as to cast any reflection on the association. He replied that their was no fault to be found with any individual colored man, but that the committee took that stand because some of the teachers objected to teaching colored pupils. A short time ago he was very sorry to tell a refined, educated colored lady that her son could not take their automobile course because of the same reason. It does seem that the cue furnished by the Barea College decision is being acted upon immediately in the North. Well! When Christian (?) Associations take such a stand, then it is time for us to wake up and make the most of the opportunities which are now open to us, for we can't see what doors will be closed tomorrow.--The Metropolitan, New York. JOHNSON'S VICTORY AWAKES THE WORLD Many Biased and Unbiased Comments by People of Note Throughout the Civilized World. E. W. Dickerson of the Rocky Mountain News, and by the way, one of the best sporting editor of the country, is a man of true sporting type and holds on prejudice as to the color of the individual. In speaking of the Johnson-Burns fight he quotes Johnny Corbet as follows with a comment:— "The air down South seems to be surfeited with lamentation because Jack Johnson wrested the heavyweight crown from Tommy Burns. Governor John K. Vardaman of Mississippi believes that the African race, whom his people once enslaved, will become a gregarious assemblage of swellheadedness as a result of pugilistic honors falling on the head of a colored man." The governor need not worry. There was a time, and not so long ago, when the great Peter Jack son led the van of colored boxers and in the march behind him came Joe Walcott and George Dixon. And while they were being crowned with many successive victories the colored folk took the honors without any display of egotism or sign of an inflated top-piece. There is not, nor should there be, any objection on the part of Uncle Sam's people in the North to a man's competing in athletics, no matter what his creed or color. An individual has the liberty to draw the color line if he believes the company is too fast for him. We have athletic competitors from England, Ireland, Scotland, the German empire, Greece, Russia, France, Turkey, Denmark, Rome, Wales, West Indies, Nova Scotia, Switzerland and Austria. Why refuse to accord just credit to an American-born colored man who has shown supremacy over us in one department of sport? If there is an asperation to be cast as a result of the Australian match it should fall on the shoulders of the white man. It was his greed for gold that brought about the match which terminated in his being dehroned." MR. "JACK" JOHNSON. MASTER OF EPIGRAM Those near-scientists who have been claiming that the Negro's brain action will never be equal to that of the white man, hence referring the colored man to a secondary plane, will be inclined to reverse their opinion in the light of the astonishing quickness of repartee shown by Mr. "Jack" Johnson in his prize fight with Mr. "Tommy" Burns in Australia. It is said Mr. Burns relied on the claims of the scientists, and trusted more to his brain power than to his punch. He thought he could bewilder Mr. Johnson with a sparkling flow of wit, and then, while the Negro was yet dazzaled, slip in the deciding blow that would give him the victory. But to his surprise Mr. Burns found the Negro loaded with a stock of epigrams that made his own look as if they had been taken from the second-hand counter. Every time the men rushed to a clinch Mr. Burns would lead with a brilliantly sarcastic jide, aimed at the Negro race in general and back would come a choice as sortment of return jeers concerning the fighting ability of the whole pale-faced race. It is not surprising that Mr. Burns' knees wobbled soon after the first round. It was as if the late Sydney Smith, armed with all the epigrama in that classic book of his, were to clash with a colored waiter who had been loading up with Marcus Aurelina. The sensation of astonishment would be too much for Mr. Smith and he would go down and out—which is exactly the way Mr. Burns went in Australia. There is much talk among the guardians of the destinies of sporting pages, regarding the choice of a white man to whip Mr. Johnson. The individual who is choosen should be a man of brain, rather than muscle—an accomplished artist in those exchanges of repartee that usually comes with the wine and walnuts. Let no unthinking clod be sent against the new master of epigram.—Denver Republi can. NO.15 The jury was out just five minutes in the Madison County. Miss., Chancery Court in deciding against the brothers who are trying to break the will of John G. Wilson (white), a wealthy bachelor of Canton, Miss., who left his estate, valued at $25,000, to his mulatto housekeeper and their children. A court of law in Mississippi is indeed a rare thing. W. J. Blanton, a jeweler, is connected with one of finest and best jewelry firms (white) in the South. Messrs. D. Lowenheim & Co. 400 Union street, Nashville, Tenn, are the proprietors. Mr. Blanton has been with them a number of years and does business not only for them, but for himself also. He is regarded as being proficient in his vocation. An invidious comparison is sometimes made of the old and the young Negroes industrious habits, much to the disadvantage of the latter. Let us see. Between the years 1879 and 1890, the older Negroes were probably at their best. The whole of the Negroes' property in this state in 1879 was returned at $5,182,398. In 1890 it was returned at $12,325,003, a gain of $7,139,065, or 147 per cent increase in ten years. Between 1891 and 1908 the younger Negroes have been in evidence and property has increased from $14,196,735 in 1901 to $23,750,229 in 1906 an increase of 673 per cent, which would indicate that the young Negro is not so lazy and shiftless as some people say he is.—Kentucky Reporter. A New York dispatch of November 25th says Mrs. Lillie Devereaux Blake created something of a sensation yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the society for political study in the Hotel Astor in a disscussion on "Criminals" by saying after reference has been made by others to the record of Negroes in criminal annals: "I don't suppose that a woman in this room has seen a real Negro. I have because I am a Southern woman and as a child saw plenty of them on my father's estate. But white blood is now so mixed with black blood that the real Negro is being wiped out. In 100 years from now I don't suppose there will be one left, and everybody, broadly speaking, will have a strain of Negro blood in their veins. I cannot say that I will regret it." There were others who did not take that view and the stir was considerable. FROM TELEGRAPHIC RE- PORTS THAT COVER THE WEEK'S EVENTS, KEEPING THE READER POST- ED ON MOST IMPORTANT CURRENT TOPICS.

Rome.—One hundred thousand dead. Messina in Sicily, and Reggio and a score of other towns in southern Italy overwhelmed. The entire Calabrian region laid waste. That is the earthquake's record so far as at present known from the reports that are coming slowly into Rome on account of the almost complete destruction on lines of communication to the stricken places. rent in twain, were spun around like tops as they ran through the streets. Many fell crushed to death, and others, bewildered, took refuge for breath beside the tottering walls, where they soon met the fate of their companions." Already British and Russian squadrons have arrived at Messina. Sailors and marines have been disembarked, and they have performed courageous The death rate in Messina ranges from 12,000 to 50,000; that of Reggio, which, with its adjacent villages, numbered 45,000 persons, includes almost the entire population. At Palmi, 1,000 are reported dead; at Cassano, 1,000; at Cosenza, 500, and half the population of Bagnara—about 4,000. The Monteleon region has been devastated, and Riposa, Seminara, San Giovanni, Scilla, Lazzaro and Cannitello, and all other communes and villages on the straits, are in ruins. The King and Queen of Italy are now on their way to Messina, having sailed Tuesday night from Naples aboard the battleship Vittorio Emmanuel. The Pope has shown the greatest distress at the calamity, and he himself was the first to contribute a sum amounting to $200,000 to the relief of the afflicted. British, French and Russian warships are steaming toward the south, and already several of the ships of Great Britain and Russia have performed heroic service in the work of rescue. It is feared that many foreigners have been killed, as a number of the hotels at Messina, and doubtless at other places, were crowded with tourists. Little is known of the fate of the diplomatic representatives of the powers stationed at these posts, although the Italian government is using every effort to relieve the anxiety felt on this account. There is the gravest danger that a pestilence will follow the destruction of the towns where, on account of the vast havoc wrought, bodies will lie unburied for days and weeks. Those who escaped death, many of whom are badly injured, are making their way by the thousands to the nearest place to refuge. Their sufferings, even now, must be intense, as they are without food or clothing. Stunned at the magnitude of the calamity which has overtaken their fellow-countrymen, all Italy mourns for the stricken province of Calabria and the island of Sicily. Accustomed for centuries to earthquakes, Italy stands ever in dread, but none was prepared for the disaster which, in the fraction of a minute Monday devastated cities and towns and caused the death of thousands. Messina, whose tragic history has been marked by tidal waves and war, and which was the center of Monday's terrestrial maeistrom, was shaken to ruins. Fires burst forth to complete the city's destruction and to burn alive untold numbers, helplessly pinioned beneath fallen walls and broken timbers. The strait of Messina was shaken and twisted by the earth's trembling, for mariners report the channel altered beyond recognition. The ports and villages on both the continental and Sicilian sides were wrecked or inundated, and all lighthouses along the coast were swallowed up. Navigation, now, is dangerous, and in some places impossible. In the Calabrian district, which was only beginning to recover from the effects of the earthquake f 1905, Reggio was the center of the earth's upheaval. The seaport of Reggio is reported as no longer existing, and the city proper is in ruins. The loss of life on both sides of the strait and in eastern Sicily was enormous. One of the refugees from Reggio, who was the first to bring the news of the city's destruction, tried to make his way to Sicily in a sailboat, but was compelled to return, and finally found safety at a peninsular port. Describing his experiences, he said: "The sea was strangely, mysteriously agitated, and the heavens were ablaze. Nearing Sicily, the clearing smoke revealed the mystery; Messina was in flames, in the frenzy of despair I turned my boat back to Calabria." Starving, bleeding from injuries, and almost insane from their terrifying experiences, Messina's survivors are fleeing in all directions. The spectacle presented by the ruined seaport is described as terrifying. Falling buildings killed and mutilated many, while hundreds of the injured, imprisoned in the wreckage, were abandoned to their fate by the fleeing populace. One of those who escaped, said: "The earth seemed suddenly to drop and then turn violently on its axis. The whole population, who practically were precipitated from the houses Queen Shares Hardships. Rome—Queen Helena has refused to allow her husband, the King, to go alone to the scene of the disaster. She said she would not give up her privilege of sharing her husband's dangers, and consequently both King and Queen left Rome Tuesday afternoon for the south. The royal couple arrived early in the day from Naples. The Queen explained to a member of her entourage that she considered it her duty to do all in her power to comfort and help her afflicted subjects. rent in twain, were spun around like tops as they ran through the streets. Many fell crushed to death, and others, bewildered, took refuge for breath beside the tottering walls, where they soon met the fate of their companions." Already British and Russian squadrons have arrived at Messina, Sailors and marines have been disembarked, and they have performed courageous acts in rescuing the injured and removing the wounded. A large number of survivors have been transferred to the warships, which are transformed into great floating hospitals. Steamers with doctors, druggists, firemen and workmen have arrived at Messina from Catania and other places. Special dispatches received here from Calabria confirm the destruction of Reggio. They report that the situation there is as bad, if not worse, than at Messina. The streets in Rome are jammed with people, who snatch the special editions from the newsboys. The hands of all the nations have been extended to Italy in her affliction. From rulers have come messages of condolence and from the peoples spontaneous promise of that aid which brings the world closer together in time of great calamity. Great Britain, France and Russia sent their warships as soon as the flash of the telegraph could carry the orders to lend assistance to stricken cities. Relief funds have already been started, and a hundred ships and trains are on their way carrying supplies and reinforcements to the south. Rome, Milan, Florence, Naples and other cities are sending physicians, police and firemen. Today all the ambassadors and ministers expressed sympathy to M. Tittoni, minister of foreign affairs, whose emotion was profound. The bourses and theaters have been closed throughout Italy, and dispatches of sympathy continue to pour in from all quarters of the globe. At the time of the earthquake the torpedo boat Sappho was lying in the harbor at Messina, and one of the officers told of the occurrence as follows: "At half past five in the morning the sea suddenly became terribly agitated, seeming literally to pick up our boat and shake it. Other craft nearby were similarly treated, and the ships looked like bits of cork bobbing about in a tempest. Almost immediately a tidal wave of huge proportions swept across the strait, mounting the coasts and carrying everything before it. Scores of ships were damaged and the Hungarian mail boat Andrassy parted her anchors and went crashing into other vessels. Messina bay was wiped out, and the sea was soon covered with masses of wreckage, which was carried off in the arms of the receding waters." Eight sailors from the Sappho were landed and took up the work of rescue. Officers and men from Italian and British steamers also went ashore as soon as possible, the Britishers saving a family of five who were imprisoned in a burning house. Starts Earthquake Fund Denver.—Chevelier Adolfo Rossi, royal Italian consul general, has issued the following proclamation calling attention of the Italians in this consular district to the devastation in Italy, and the necessity of subscribing for the care of the sufferers: "Italians: "The damages from the tremendous earthquake of yesterday in the southern provinces of our fatherland are exceptionally appalling. Tens and tens of thousands, countrymen of ours, have lost their lives, while the survivors have lost all their property. "The terrible experience of the past has demonstrated that the relief is all the more efficient when immediately sent for the purchase of provisions and clothes, and for the building of barracks, so necessary and urgent during this inclement season." "I, myself, open the subscription among Italians of this consular district with my personal contribution, and I do not deem necessary to add recommendations to stimulate the generosity and good heart of my countrymen. Everyone will accomplish his duties within the limits of his possibilities, and the 25 cents of the poor laborer will be not less appreciated than the larger amounts of those who are wealthy." Colorado Italians in Suspense Trinidad, Colo.—When news of the earthquake in Italy became generally known in the various camps of this county, it caused the greatest excitement among the Italian residents, as many hundreds of the miners here come from southern Italy and the island of Sicily. The newspaper offices were swamped with inquiries concerning the disaster, as there is hardly an Italian in this county but has relatives or friends in the stricken district. Ruef Gets Fourteen Years. San Francisco.—Fourteen years in the penitentiary, the maximum sentence provided for bribery of a supervisor, was the penalty meted out Tuesday night to Abraham Ruef, who for four years directed the political destinies of San Francisco as adviser of the administration of Eugene E. Schmitz, former mayor of the city. Judgment was pronounced at the close of a day devoted to a legal battle wherein the defense sought to introduce many reasons for a new trial. TEACHERS OUT IN FULL FORCE COLORADO TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION ONCE MORE CONVENES IN DENVER. BREAKS ALL RECORDS PRESIDENT OF PLAYGROUND ASSOCIATION HAS PECULIAR VIEWS OF COUNTRY LIFE. Denver.—Monday saw the larges, advance registration by 200 names of any of the thirty-four annual sessions of the Colorado Teachers' Association for the first day. There were just 1,657 names on the books last night, and today will see heavy additions. There is no question that there will be 2,400 in all by the end of the week. Last year there were just 2,000. F. O. Chaves is the only representative from the normal district comprising Lincoln, Kit Carson and Cheyenne counties. President B. O. Aylesworth of the State Agricultural College at Fort Collins is president of the association and presided at last night's meeting at East Denver high school, while W. W. Remington of this city occupied the secretary's chair, to which he was elected a year ago. The people of Denver and the members of the Colorado Teachers' Association were regaled with a splendid address by Luther H. Gulick, president of the Playground Association of America, at the auditorium of the East Denver high school, the occasion being the opening of the thirty-fourth annual session of the association. Dr. Gulick's address was entitled, "Higher Levels of Efficiency," and in it he endeavored to relate some of the causes which, properly applied, unite to bring out the best that is in a man, woman or child. The lecture was unique in that in it the speaker attempted to break down the long-established tradition that life in the country is superior to life in the city from the standpoint of healthfulness. Dr. Gulick maintained and brought forth figures to prove that the child being brought up in modern fashion in the average city is many times better off than the average country lad or lassie, and beyond compare better equipped for his battle of life, morally, physically and mentally, than were his father and mother in either city or country. "They talk about fresh air in the country," said Dr. Gulick. "The worst I ever knew was in a country school house, or perhaps it was in a farm house in Cork, I am not sure which. "I remember the carelessness with which milk was secured on the farm where I spent a good part of boyhood. The care of city milk is incomparably better than that of the purely country product. "Why do so many farmers' wives go crazy? It is from the brutalizing effect of hard muscular work. Do you know the effect of from 12 to 16 hours hard work per day on the human system? City life means a relative degree of freedom from excessive muscular work. "In olden times when the children had to milk the cows, feed the horses, split the kindling before walking two miles to school, it was impossible for them to do their work well. Now there are hundreds of thousands of children in New York who do not have to walk over two blocks to school. "The modern boy is better balanced and is better physically than the old time boys who did a half day's chores before going to school. The manual training that he does nowadays is as good exercise as splitting the kindling was then, and better. A boy's hands will blister much quicker on a hoe handle than on a baseball bat. "The playgrounds movement of America means the recognition of the right of the individual to pursue an independent existence. Children must learn to obey. They must be disciplined." New Smelting Company Busy. Denver—it is reported that representatives of the new $50,000,000 incorporation known as the International Smelting and Refining Company, have been in Colorado several days spying out the land here and gathering data which may determine after they make their report, whether plants will be built in this state to compete against the Guggenheim establishments. Several men connected with the American Smelting and Refining Company have been approached and several well known mining men have been interviewed by strangers who claim to be from New York City. Franklin R. Carpenter, mining and metallurgical engineer, was one of the Denver men called upon, it is said, but he declined to enter into negotiations with the callers. The new corporation is backed by the Amalgamated Copper Company, of which John D. Ryan of New York is a prominent leader. Rev. James Maillay has resigned the pastorate of the First Christian church at Colorado Springs to go on the lecture stage. Doctor Maillay was struck by lightning and badly stunned on Cameron's Cone, near Manitou, about eighteen months ago, but speedily recovered the full use of his faculties. A military board will meet at Fort Logan Jan. 12th, at 9 a. m., for the mental and physical examination of candidates for admission to the United States military academy at West Point. N.

INOCULATED newspaper says that Cuba has a race July as some of our Southern states, but millions population are Negroes and who are officially classed as 'white' had conditions described no race problem so before American influences overcame a virus worse than the former case will probably go hard with Cuba. A DAILY newspaper says that Cuba has a race problem on its hand quite as truly as some of our Southern states, because about one third of her two millions population are Negroes and "no small share of the residents who are officially classed as 'white' have African blood in their veins." From the conditions described no race problem seems to have been recognized there before American influences overcame Latin ideals and gave to the island a virus worse than the former scourge of yellow fever. The disease will probably go hard with Cuba. DISHONORING THE SOLDIERS NG to the Denver Republican, promise "up in arms" over the government of troops returning from service in the Pacific-fifth infantry, or a part of it, is to be said that a movement is on foot toington in an effort to have such action. Movement Association is reported to be a public organization in Denyer is to deny these prejudice breeders that the coerce their influence against the Colored present to the war department asking to be added. Some such fool action as this was last stationed at Fort Logan, but Prepartment paid no attention to it. I regiment made a record for good condition at Fort Logan before and since. The present action of South Denver from predicted, will be the result of not only prejudice of unreasonable real estate grounds for such action. Leaving our side of the case, which ignores the bracerificining duties performed by these because, we are astounded to learn that unity can give voice to a protest which permanently isolate Negro soldiers. Presumption of bad character on the absolutely ridiculous, and the good of it require that communities where forts are to establish any such false impressioe Fort Logan entirely. But the Colonials, and, if necessary, a counterpart in their behalf may be instituted to give political forces, particularly, a chance have in such a narrow matter. ACCORDING to the Denver Republican, prominent residents of South Denver are "up in arms" over the government order distributing the Colored troops returning from service in the Philippines, under which the Twenty-fifth infantry, or a part of it, is to be stationed at Fort Logan. It is said that a movement is on foot to take the matter up with Washington in an effort to have such action forestalled. The South Side Improvement Association is reported to be behind the movement, and every public organization in Denver is to be asked to join it. It is hoped by these prejudice breeders that the congressional representatives will use their influence against the Colored soldiers, and a petition will be sent to the war department asking that the proposed action be rescinded. Some such fool action as this was started when this regiment was last stationed at Fort Logan, but President McKinlev and the war department paid no attention to it. During its former stay here the regiment made a record for good conduct which white regiments stationed at Fort Logan before and since that time have never equalled. The present action of South Denverites, if it assumes the tangible form predicted, will be the result of nothing but the foolish and cowardly prejudice of unreasonable real estate promoters who have no good grounds for such action. Leaving out the sentimental and patriotic side of the case, which ignores the bravery, the loyalty and all the self-sacrificing duties performed by these Colored heroes in their country's cause, we are astounded to learn that the white people of this community can give voice to a protest which, if successful, would tend to permanently isolate Negro soldiers in out-of-the-way frontier forts. Presumption of bad character on the part of Colored soldiers is absolutely ridiculous, and the good of the army service would seem to require that communities where forts are located should not be permitted to establish any such false impression. It would be better to remove Fort Logan entirely. But the Colored soldiers will not lack for champions, and, if necessary, a counter movement and a counter petition in their behalf may be instituted to prove local sentiment, and to give political forces, particularly, a chance to show what interest they may have in such a narrow matter. SECRET SERVICE SAM IN DOYLE no longer holds first place. Hawkshaw has been outdone; a new coin great sleuth celebrities mount the name is Secret Service Sam. Stripped than our own Uncle Sam, gone into the negotiation of his excitement-loving and brave. The revelation by President Roosevelt used the United States Secret Servi lives and buds of the government, has SIR CONAN DOYLE no longer holds first place in the ranks of great detectives; Hawkshaw has been outdone; a new star is filling the firmament wherein great sleuth celebrities mount their ways to eminence, and his name is Secret Service Sam. Stripped of all disguises, he is none other than our own Uncle Sam, gone into the detective business at the instigation of his excitement-loving and blood-thrilling offspring, Theodore. The revelation by President Roosevelt of the extent to which he has used the United States Secret Service to investigate all branches, leaves and buds of the government, has brought congress to its feet and has compelled the nation to pause and take notice, while the open charge made by the President that congress had curtailed the appropriation to meet the expenses of this department in order to keep is own members from being investigated, has simply deepened the whole dire plot until everybody is wild with rage at the undiscovered villian. And congress has called the President's hand, and by proper resolution, asked him to show his cards by which he has traced unwary congressmen to their hairs and led discharged Negro soldiers to belated confessions. For this is the same detective agency which has clung so tenaciously upon the trail of the alleged Brownsville assassins and produced affidavits that one ex-soldier, at least, had whispered the guilt of himself and companions to a supposed confidant, but who was in fact, none other than Secret Service Sam. No matter that Sam in this instance was merely an illiterate Negro, who could not read or write his own name; that was only one of the effective disguise employed by Uncle Sam to stalk his game. The President, under the advice of his rebel secretary of war, has accepted the evidence of this otherwise despised, despicable and illiterate Negro as a vindication of the course of the administration in the Brownsville affair. But the crossing of trails has linked these would-be-forgotten soldiers with their unforgetable fellow culprits, the members of congress, and right there is where the climax is reached. Now congress proposes to investigate Secret Service Sam and all of his doings, whether as a spy on Rockefeller or as a "bunky" with a discharged Negro soldier, and if neither side flunks, there is going to be a closing scene whose lurid rays will light the looming recesses of darkest Africa.

About sixty were present and glided gracefully to the sweet strains of excellent music. R. D. Oliver arrived in the city Thursday of last week from Alamosa, Colo., to spend the holidays with his numerous friends. "Dick," as he is familiarly called, has expressed himself as having spent the time in a way that made pleasure a reality. Misses Darlena and Ethel Rease had a beautiful Christmas tree, which was very artistically decorated and loaded down with many beautiful presents. Quite a few of their little friends were present and helped make the occasion a very merry one. "Bill" Thompson of Sand Creek, Wyo., spent Christmas in the city. "Bill" owns four sections of land and fifteen hundred head of cattle, a hundred head of horses, and a bunch of fat hogs. He came down to buy cattle instead of Christmas presents. He's not married either. Here's a bargain. The old-fashioned Christmas where egg nog with its trimmings were in vogue was in reality in Denver Christmas morning at the residence of Mrs. and Mrs. Monroe Tompkins, 2942 Arapahoe street. This fact is testified to by at least fifty people who enjoyed the generous hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins from 6 to 8 a. m. A merry Christmas by a merry crowd was the sentiment of all present.

When the information reaches President Roosevelt of the "magnificent spectacle" of a negro boy standing shoulder to shoulder with a United States army officer, helping to defend a white lady from the rude jibes and insults of a gang of Colorado white toughs, the President might willingly change his mind on some phases of the race question. It was a great day for the Negroes of Colorado when young Williams evidenced so much manly courage and bravery. If we could get a few more stories of such a character to send broadcast over this land there would be fewer lynchings and greater respect for Negro manhood. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wicks of 2053 California street entertained at whilst last Tuesday night and a large number were present to contest for the several prizes. The house was very exquisitely decorated in Christmas colors—red and green—and large azalias and palms, while a beautiful Christmas tree presented a splendid and admirable scene in the reception hall. It was truly an evening of the "400" type. The charming ladies in their rich gowns and costly jewelry were a feature of much note and attraction, while the gentlemen were right up to the minute in style and fashion. The hostess was assisted by Mrs. J. H. Short and Mrs. Delia Williams. The sumptuous spread was of the best, to which all did ample justice. After the series of games the prizes were awarded as follows: Ladies, Mrs. F. D. Ratley, hand-made handkerchief; Mrs. Charles Foster, tern in jardineer; Mrs. Blanche Boon, work basket; Miss Estella, Greene, booby, butterfly cushion, Gentlemen, Clarence Holmes, sofa pillow; Spencer Burns, Candle stick; Dr. J. A. Harper, necktie; B. C. Curtis, booby, teddy bear. There has been many happy social events during the past week, but perhaps none have ben more enjoyable than that of the thirty-eighth birthday anniversary of Jas. F. Clark, who celebrated the occasion with a party at his residence, 2439 Welton street, Friday evening, December 25th. A jolly crowd was present and helped to do honor in the celebration. Among the features of the evening were cards, dancing and instrumental music and funny stories. Mr. Clark was an ideal host and had everything there to make one feel like "it." Those who assisted in serving were: Mrs. Price, Louie Hubbard, "the old man," Arthur Carper and W. R. Euper. Several solos were rendered by Mr. Jones, who, with Q. J. Gilmore, acted as toastmaster for the occasion. The house was very tastefully decorated in holiday attire. At the proper hour Mr. Clark invited his guests to the dining room, where several courses were served from the large extension table, beautifully decorated with battenberg centerpieces, damask linen, and this, together with the brilliant silverware, cut-glass and Haviland china, made it a scene of splendor under the glow of a soft light. Some fine selections were rendered on the mandolin by Mr. Clark. Mr. Carper also played a very difficult Chinese selection on the mandolin. Those who enjoyed the generous hospitality of the host says the event was like a base drum with the head knocked out—can't be beat. A MERRY TIME.

Bond, Prop Denver, Colo Denver. Colo Denver, Colo BATTLING FOR PROHIBITION SALE OF LIQUOR UNLAWFUL IN OVER HALF OF THE SOUTH. WILL CONTINUE FIGHT GOOD RESULTS REPORTED, BUT OBSTACLES TO ENFORCEMENT ARE MANY. Washington.—A wave of prohibition has swept with such remarkable effect over the South that the New Year opens upon a vast stretch of territory absolutely bereft of liquor, while the area where anti-prohibitionists have triumphed, marks the battle ground for impending fights on the question More than half the South's territory is "dry" absolutely, and in the remaining area the sale of intoxicants is restricted. It is evident that the cities are the only remaining strongholds for the saloons, and it is unlikely that this condition will be modified except through a radical change in political thought, through failure to enforce the laws against the liquor traffic, failure to solve the problem growing out of deficits in county, municipal and state treasuries from a loss of the whisky tax, or inability to cope with the illicit sale of whisky, and perhaps other obstacles which follow in the wake of prohibition. Georgia for a year has been experimenting with a "near prohibition" law for forbidding the sale of liquors containing more than 4 per cent. alcohol. Statewide prohibition laws become effective on January 1st in North Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi. Prohibition advocates in Louisiana have suspended their fight to test the new Gay-Shattuck law for the regulation of the liquor traffic. Tennessee is the chief center of interest among the other states where state-wide prohibition fights are in progress. The Prohibitionists also assert that a statewide bill will pass the Legislature, which they expect to organize and control. Kentucky, the second largest distilling state in the Union, with 119 counties, has but four in which the sale of liquor is not prohibited. Virginia presents a string of victories for the anti-saloon element as prohibition now extends in eighty of the state's hundred counties. In Texas, where more than half the counties have accepted prohibition, the voters soon will be called upon to vote upon a constitutional amendment for prohibition. In Arkansas two-thirds of its area, or seventy-five counties, are "dry," and the question of statewide prohibition will be presented to the voters for decision. The results of prohibition generally are gleaned from reports indicating a great decrease in the record of arrests for drunkenness, an increase in the bank deposits of laborers, fewer cases of wife abandonment, and a decrease in criminality generally. The difficulty of enforcing the prohibition laws, however, is conceded to be one of the chief obstacles to its absolute success in many states. Taft Opposes Disfranchisement. Baltimore, Md.—Collector of Customs Stone, of this city recently wrote Mr. Taft on the subject of a proposed amendment to the constitution of Maryland which is to be submitted to the voters at the next election and which is popularly known as the disfranchising amendment. Mr. Stone has received permission to make public Mr. Taft's reply, which concludes: "The whole law ought to be condemned. It is not drawn in the spirit of justice and equality having regard for the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and I sincerely hope that no Republican and no Democrat who desires equality of treatment to the black and white races will vote for it." New York.—Notwithstanding the unanimous protest against the jail sentences imposed on Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, the Central Federated Union here received Monday from Mr. Gompers a letter in which he notified the unions that he had discontinued on the advice of counsel the "We Don't Patronize" list in the future issues of the Federationalist, the labor organ. Upon hearing this, the Central Federated Union also decided, upon the advice of the chairman, to suspend its unfair list for a while. Aden, Arabia.—The sixteen battleships comprising the American battleship fleet, under command of Rear Admiral Sperry, which is cruising around the world, passed this port Monday, bound for Suez. The fleet left Colombo, Ceylon, December 20th. Denver Italians in Mourning. Denver.—There is much anxiety in "Little Italy," that section of North Denver where live the Italians, for practically every resident in that congested district of the city has relatives in the devastated section of Italy and Sicily. Eighty-five per cent. of the Italians, or 12,000, our of the 16,000 Italians in Denver, and environs, are from Calabria and Sicily. Calabria forms the "toe of the boot" of Italy and is a province about the size of New York state and subject to earthquakes and volcanic disturbances since history began. Gen. W. J. Palmer of Colorado Springs is reported to be improving in health. There was 2,560 marriages in Denver during the past year and 588 divorces. "Merry Christmas" in Denver resulted in forty-six cases on the Police Court docket the next day. At the starch factory in Greeley, B. D. Fisher fell head first into a big vat of ice-cold potato juice and narrowly escaped drowning.

The football team of the Longmont high school defeated the Englewood high school team of Chicago at Denver on Christmas Day by a score of 13 to 0 A syndicate of eastern capitalists has taken $17,500,000 of the new issue of Denver & Rio Grande railway bonds. The proceeds were used to retire $15,000,000 short time notes. In his county poor report to the secretary of state Clerk Konkel of Baca county fills out the blank as follows: "We have no paupers. How many counties can say as much?" A. A. Peralta of the Greeley sugar factory, has just prepared and presented to the Commercial club of Greeley eighteen glass jars whose contents show the different processes in sugar making, from sliced beets to pure white sugar. Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver is the one person from Colorado whom President Roosevelt has invited to attend the conference concerning the care of the dependent children which he has called to meet at the White house on January 25th. Local telephone wires have reached Lay, in Routt county, and Lay can now communicate with Denver within an hour, having telephone connection with Yampa, where the Western Union Telegraph Company has its Routt county terminus. At the December meeting of the executive committee of the Modern Woodmen of America, it was decided to admit free of charge to the recently established sanitarium in Colorado Springs all members afflicted with tuberculosis whose cases are curable. The Rogers Canning Company of Rogers, Ark., has offered to establish a canning factory at Fort Morgan. If the farmers will plant 1,000 acres of vegetables suitable for canning, the city to donate a site of two or three acres and give a bonus of $5,000. Arrangements have been about completed by Secretary Watrous of the Boulder Commercial Association, with Springfield, Ill., parties to bring a colony from that section to settle on small farms and fruit tracts near Boulder and along the Interurban and Union Pacific lines. A grand celebration for the one hundredth anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln next February is being planned in Denver, to be held at the auditorium. All patriotic and military societies in the city will take part, led by the Grand Army of the Republic. The theater at Manhattan Beach in Denver was entirely destroyed by fire on the night of December 26th. It was the property of the Southern Investment Company, who, it is stated will build a new theater in its place. The old building cost $30,000 and was partially insured. The town of Kersey held its first municipal election December 22nd, with only one ticket in the field, named by the "Boosters" club. Fred James was elected mayor and Len Flint, W. F. Spaulding, W. R. Mortimer, J. H. Howe, B. P. Brooks and C. S. Gardner, trustees. Reparations have been completed for the biggest short course in domestic science at the Agricultural College, Fort Collins, ever held in the history of the institution. The course will begin Jan. 11th and run until Jan. 15th. Applications have come in from all over the state for enrollment. At a mass meeting at Pierce under the auspices of the Commercial Club the proposition of the officers of the Burlington Interurban Railway Company to build into Pierce on condition that $10,000 worth of stock be subscribed for and terminal sites provided was accepted. Arrangements are being made to use the new Nationa. amphitheatre at the Denver stock yards for the first time on January 9th, when Denver school children will give a song concert. More than 1,200 children are expected to take part in the exercises. The new amphitheatre is now practically complete, and is the largest of its kind in the country. It will seat 5,000. Examinations have been announced to be held for the positions of printer, pressman and press feeder in the government printing office by United States civil service commission. Persons desiring to take these examinations should apply to Verner W. Campbell, secretary, room 13-A, Federal building, Denver, for an application blank. The assessment of Morgan county shows that horses, mules, cattle and hogs have made a decided increase during the last year, but that sheep dropped far below the normal. That is because there are only a few feeders this year, owing to the high prices of hay and grain. There are 44,567 horses, 219 mules, 13,144 cattle, 38,034 sheep and 3,388 swine in the county. The beet sugar factory at Grand Junction closed at noon, December 28th, having handled 60,000 tons of beets.

"The sparrows ate up the worms, all right, but now we have the sparrows on our hands. Which would you rather have, Max, the sparrows or the worms?" "I don't know; I ain't never had sparrows."—The Bohemian. Many a vain woman has tried in vain to get a husband. Monagamy Among Animals. "For ages the beasts have been groping for an ideal form of marriage," says Ernest Thompson Seton in the January Century in his story of "Domino Reynard of Goldur Town," the history of a noble silver fox with a definite purpose. "All the schemes of human reverts they have tried, and all found wanting but one. The only plan that has satisfied the highest requirements is pure monagamy. This is the wed-law of all the highest kinds. The love-time fever passes, but another bond remains. The love-fire of the foxes had paled a little with the waning of the hunger-moon, but a more abiding sense had supervened, even as the sunset red on the hills may seem more generous fire than the soft red of the granite; but one is there in splendid moment, the other forever and evermore. Love and friendship men call them; and though the flickering red light blazed so bright at times, it was the pale rock red that gave its color to their lives. Domino and Snowyruff were not only mates, but were friends for life; for such is the way of the noblest beasts, such is the way of foxes." GOOD BLOOD PAYS. The Lesson That the Western Stock Show Association is Trying to There is an old saying in England among stockmen that "the bull is half the herd." This is as true as any old saw ever uttered, but the stockmen of this country are still learning this fact by experience. The main object of the National Western Stock Show is to educate the stockmen of the West to the fact that there is good profit in good blood and in order that they may profit by the lesson in a practical way the association has enlisted the assistance of the Pure Blood Record Association to provide a few really choice animals in the various breeds that can be sold to western breeders at a low price. The public sales to be held at the stock show in Denver during the week of January 18th, are selected from the best herds in America and are sold not for the purpose of making a big profit, but to introduce the breeds into the West. The buyers make their own prices. The animals are selected by a committee and are not only typical of the breed they represent, but are choice individuals. The American Shorthorn Breeders' Association will offer in this sale about fifty-five head of choice young bulls, from such herds, as those of F. W. Harding of Wisconsin, N. P. Clarke, T. J. Wornall & Sons, C. E. Leonard & Son, D. R. Hanna, Carpenter & Ross of Ohio, A. C. Shellenberger, W. A. Forsythe, H. M. Hill, Henry Stunkel, Chas. Wells & Son, B. N. Newby, Fremont Watts. These names are well known to Shorthorn breeders through the whole country and they represent the best of the Shorthorn herds of America. The Hereford Association is arranging a sale of choice things fully equal to the Shorthorn offerings. The very best breeders and herds of the country will be represented. The same may be said of the Galloway breed and of the Aberdeen Angus. This feature of the big stock show is the business end and the annual dispersal of these well bred cattle through the West means millions to the live stock industry of this section in the future. The new building for the stock show is completed. It represents an investment of $200,000 and will comfortably seat over 6,000 people. The big arena will be constantly occupied with stock during the week of January 18th-23rd and the indications are that the show will be the greatest ever held West of Chicago. Special Holiday Rates. The Colorado & Southern will make a special rate of one fare for the round trip to all points in the state.

MILK FOR BABES--BUTTERMILK FOR ADULTS All authorities on diet say that milk is a perfect food. This is true in a sense; and in another it is altogether untrue and misleading. The natural food of the infant is mother's milk. But the appalling mortality of infants is due chiefly to the use of cow's milk, carrying the seeds of disease from the cow, the air and water, and planting them in a soil made favorable by improper feeding, lack of fresh air, bathing and exercise. Not even cereal starch kills more infants between the ages of one and six than does milk in the first two years. Cow's milk differs materially from the infant's natural food, containing twice as much proteid and only about half as much sugar, but the danger lies more in the contamination of the milk sold in the cities. Fortunately good work is being done in many places to remedy this evil. Milk is called the perfect food because it contains all the elements necessary for the growth of the infant, and in the proper proportion. But the physical constitution and development of the infant differ much from those of the adult, and the food should differ accordingly. The growth of the infant in the first six years is rapid, and a large proportion of lime is necessary to build the bony framework. Milk is in this respect an appropriate food for the infant and inappropriate for the adult. The lime of milk being little needed for maintaining the bony framework of the adult, is largely deposited in the arteries, contributing to the distinctive disease of old age—hardening of the arteries. The prime cause of hardening of the arteries, which is also a cause of "heart failure" and of certain forms of insanity, is auto-intoxication, or self-poisoning, resulting from the absorption of waste matter from the lower part of the alimentary canal, of which I shall have more to say in dealing with "Bread," in a subsequent article. Deficiency of iron in the blood of the adult is serious; the percentage of iron in cow's milk is small, corresponding to the nervous inactivity of the infant. In this particular milk is very unsatisfactory adult diet, though it sustains Life indefinitely. But the unsuitability of milk to the adult is more evident on comparing the infant with the adult anatomy and physiology: In the infant, for instance, the upper part of the alimentary canal is almost a straight tube, allowing the milk to pass quickly to the intestine, which is adapted to its digestion. The adult stomach is a deeply curved pouch, which in certain abnormal conditions retains the food for several hours longer than the proper time for digestion. The fermentation of milk alone is not always serious, but the fermentation of meat, cereals and fruits in the stomach, through the agency of milk, leads to serious results. The proportion of iron in the blood is very small, but very important. When it is found to be deficient, it is very difficult to supply it. Probably its best source is the brown part of wheat which is excluded from our fine patent white flours, of which we shall speak later. Grapes, the brown part of wheat, cabbage (raw) and lettuce readily supply iron. It has been found that persons living exclusively on milk lack "sand," a quality which the infant never needs to display, since it is absolutely dependent. In flesh-eating animals the stomach and liver are much larger in proportion than in the vegetable-eaters. An apparent exception is found in the ruminating animals, like the cow, which gathers a large quantity of food and stoves it in the first of a series of stomachs for future chewing. The development of the food tube indicates the food adapted to the animal. Although the infant digestive organs are better adapted to milk than the adult's, they are not perfectly adapted to cow's milk. To feed a dog or a child of two years on "what we eat ourselves" indicates a sympathetic but thoughtless disposition. Sterilized or boiled milk is open to the same objection as roasted peanuts. Its vitality, its real life-giving qualities are largely destroyed. It is most unfortunate that our people are ignorant of the value of goat's milk, especially for infant feeding. The goat is the healthiest of all animals and the slowest to degenerate when domesticated. Rarely, if ever, is the goat known to contract tuberculosis or any other disease. The milk is superior in every way to cow's, and the poorest can own a "poor man's cow," which can be fed on the potato peelings, cabbage leaves or anything else that is clean. Hardly any other food is compatible with milk, except uncooked, whipped eggs, rice or toasted bread. Flesh meat, being a stomach food, is particularly inharmonious with milk. The Jewish instructions on diet prohibit eating meat and milk together, though this may be for an ethical reason. The writer has recently made several days' tests of an exclusive milk diet on himself and others, carefully recording results. A change from the ordinary mixed diet to any monodiet is beneficial, and milk is not an exception. But the benefits derived from the milk diet which have recently been much advertised should be credited to the monodiet, avoiding the injurious effects of mixing several incompatible foods at the same meal. Equally satisfactory results can be shown from many other monodiets—even the peanut, which is the most concentrated of all foods, containing an excess of albumen. Great gains have been recorded from exclusive diets of beans, oatmeal, wheat, etc., as well as milk, pursued for 60 days or more. Prof. Metchnikoff, head of the Pasteur institute, who has made most praiseworthy investigations into the causes of our early decay, has concluded that the failure of the average man to live his natural term of life, 100 years, is due to the development of pathogenic germs in the lower part of the food tube from improperly digested, superfluous food, and recommends the use of buttermilk as an antidote. The chief causes of the offending conditions in the colon, the large intestine, leading to a constant poisoning of the stream of life, are: Too much food, eaten hurriedly; too much starch and not enough fruit, and bad combinations of foods, good in themselves. Buttermilk is not a natural corrective of these abnormal conditions, although it no doubt serves as an antidote, nor is the "internal bath," good in a way, the true remedy; the cause should be removed. It has been said that "wine is the milk of age," and of unfermented wine this is true. The grape contains much sugar, acid and iron, which are deficient in milk. The most noted case of prolonged life in history, that of Cornaro, the Venetian nobleman in the sixteenth century, was due to a uniform diet, consisting chiefly of unfermented wine with an egg daily. The egg supplied the fat, sulphur and albumen deficient in the "light wine," or grape juice. Broken down at 40 by indulgence in eating and drinking, Cornaro lived to be more than 100 by simple living. You can make the best buttermilk any day in your own kitchen. And there is nothing better for digestive disorders, and especially for intestinal troubles, or as a substitute in infant feeding, in certain cases. You can get at the drug store tablets containing the lactic acid bacterium culture that will convert sweet milk into full cream buttermilk by simply dropping a tablet into a quart bottle of milk and maintaining the proper temperature, according to the instructions. Not only because this full cream buttermilk contains the fat in emulsified form is it better than the buttermilk you buy of the buttermilk man, but because the lactic acid bacterium prevents the development of injurious Bacteria in the milk. This is important in the case of infants. Cholera infantum, some forms of diarrhoea and perhaps typhoid can be avoided in this way. Here is the most important practical application of the germ theory yet made, a boon for infant humanity, a recovery in some degree of the loss due to departing from nature in infant feeding as a result of departing from nature in other ways. It has long been known that buttermilk is a valuable food medicine even when soured by lightning. We can not always command the thunder, but science has discovered how to make buttermilk without a churn and without lightning, and without separating the butter. Butterless buttermilk is good, full-cream buttermilk is better in most cases. Cow's milk is digested by the infant with difficulty, often resulting in complete breakdown of the digestive and nervous system; but the adult digestive system is not so well adapted to the digestion of milk and hence flatulence and absolute revulsion often result from its continued use. But buttermilk causes no such difficulties, because it is in a sense largely predigested, the coarser curds of the casein in cow's milk being finely broken up. This removes the greatest objection to cow's milk as a diet for infants and as an ideal monodiet for adults in severe stomach and bowel troubles. A certain amount of fat is necessary to the best conditions for normal nutrition, and fat is about $2\frac{1}{2}$ times more valuable as a heat and energy producer than other forms of carbon; and of the fats, butter is the most easily assimilated, except peanut and olive oil. But emulsified as the fat is in milk, it is much more easily assimilated than as butter. For this reason, and for others, the new way of making buttermilk gives a much more nutritious product and more digestible, especially for the infant. Cow's milk cannot be made identical with the infant's natural food, but it can be approximated to it. The chief difficulty to be overcome is to adapt the large curds that tend to remain in the stomach longer than they should, as the development of the calf's stomach requires that its food shall have a much heavier curd than that required by the infant in which intestinal digestion is more important. The use of buttermilk tablets obviates this difficulty, besides overcoming other objections to the use of cow's milk. But the objection naturally arises that soured milk is not natural. The reply is that cow's milk is not natural. Certainly tests of buttermilk have proved it very satisfactory. Thursday, January 21st, 10 a. m. Forty Registered Berkshires.

His Mistake When He Boasted of Modest Act of Charity. Taylor got on the subject of modesty one night at the Press club. "Practically all acts of charity," said he, "are performed out of vanity. Modest charity is very rare, yet it is the only sort that counts, you know, with th-er-Recording Angel, eh? I remember once, motoring in the east, I came to a small town that had suffered from a flood. In the empty post office there was a contribution box for the flood sufferers. "Not a soul was present. Nobody saw me or knew me. I pushed a $20 bill into the box and slipped away unseen. And that act, I claim, that modest act of charity, was worth more than these acts involving many thousands, which are made on public subscription lists, to the loud fanfare of trumpets." Taylor paused and relighted his cigar. His companion said: "Quite right. Yours was genuine modest charity, Taylor. No wonder you brag about it."—Detroit News-Tribune. INTOLERABLE ITCHING. Fearful Eczema All Over Baby's Face —Professional Treatment Failed. A Perfect Cure by Cuticura. "When my little girl was six months old I noticed small red spots on her right cheek. They grew so large that I sent for the doctor but, instead of helping the eruption, his ointment seemed to make it worse. Then I went to a second doctor who said it was eczema. He also gave me an ointment which did not help either. The disease spread all over the face and the eyes began to swell. The itching grew intolerable and it was a terrible sight to see. I consulted doctors for months, but they were unable to cure the baby. I paid out from $20 to $30 without relief. One evening I began to use the Cuticura Remedies. The next morning the baby's face was all white instead of red. I continued until the eczema entirely disappeared. Mrs. P. E. Gumbin, Sheldon, Ia., July 13, '08."

Sam Jones greatly disliked being interrupted when speaking, and the rash auditor who attempted it generally met with a pretty sharp retort. He was preaching on prosperity, when a little man in the front row shouted: "Prosperity hain't hit me very hard yet. Tell us about suthin' we know about." The speaker paused and glaring down at the diminutive interrupter squeaked him with the following: "So prosperity hain't hit you yet, eh? Well, you can't expect it to till you grow some. It is pretty hard work to hit nothing!" Off for the Woodshed. "Great Scott!" snorted the irritated old gentleman, as he dropped his paper, "what is all that noise in the library?"

Small Wonder That the Little Mother Was Really Alarmed. Little Mary was really very ill. Mother said she was sure it was an attack of appendicitis, but Grandma was equally sure the little one was threatened with convulsions. The argument waxed warm in Mary's presence, and appropriate remedies were used, and the next day she was better. Coming into her mother's room during her play she said: "Mamma, two of my dolllies are very sick this morning." "Indeed, dear, I am very sorry. What is the matter with them?" "Well I don't really know, mamma, but I think Gwendolyn has 'a pint o'spiders' and Marguerite is going to have 'envulsions.'"

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25 --- FASHION PLAN WARDROBE TO FIT THE SEASON. Sewing Room Responsible for Duty of Keeping the Body Warm So That Bedroom May Be Properly Ventilated. This is what may be termed the age of defensive therapeutics. The up-to-date physicians, as well as students of hygiene and sanitation, are concentrating their efforts on the prevention, not the cure, of illness. We are so accustomed to connecting the word fashion with mere raiment that it comes with something of a shock to learn that there are also fashions in health and sanitation A woman in a long dress is sewing a garment on a table. Washable Design for Winter Night Robe. There was a time when the semi-invalid was distinctly in fashion, a most interesting figure upon whom were showered social attentions, flowers, gifts, etc. To-day the semi-invalid, the possessor of indefinable, but chronic aches and pains, is completely out of the running. She cuts so sorry a figure that she insists upon getting well. Many of us can look back to the day when illness in the fam./ meant the UTILITY BOX FOR BATHROOM. New Fad That Provides a Receptacle of Real Value. Welcome addition to bathroom fittings is the utility box of white enamel about the size of a shirt-waist receptacle. It is intended to hold towels and half the surface at the top of the box is divided into compartments much like the tray of an ordinary trunk, except that it is stationary, These spaces are for holding clean wash rags and different kinds of soap. In addition to its legitimate use it is a convenient seat to use when putting on or taking off shoes and stockings. The price is eight dollars. Stockings in bright tartan effects, such as the Stewart, seem to be loud, but really they are charming when worn with shoes that harmonize or contrast. A less striking but equally effective combination is the plaid of the black watch in hose, worn with dark-green suede shoes closing with smoke-pearl buttons. The vamps of the shoes are in narrow raised stripes, like corduroy, the uppers of plain smooth suede. Plaids in wood brown and cream are lovely when the shoes are of tan suede. With Party Attire. All the little novelties which go to finish the dainty toilet of a little maid are interesting to loving mothers and friends. The very newest idea is to embroider a hair ribbon. The ordinary five-inch ribbon is used in taffeta or satin, as the case may be, and a design is made at the mitered end, while the buttonhole stitch keeps the edge fromraveling. The idea is pretty, particularly when a sash is also made to match the hair ribbon. Of course, one would not embroider an ordinary hair ribbon intended for school wear, but for party attire it is just a little touch, for little maidens may not wear the ornaments and trimmings appropriate for older sisters. The embroidery is done in filo and Persian floss—the former used to carry out the design, the latter to work the buttonhole stitch. Silk Skirt: Cloth Coat. Among the best of the new costumes is seen the combination of Ottoman silk and liberty broadcloth. The skirt is of silk, long, flowing and untrimmed. The coat is also long, is of the cloth, and usually has revers of silk. turning on of extra heat and the shutting out of all air, dubbed dangerous drafts. To-day pure air in unlimited quantities and exercises of all sorts are prescribed. Hence in planning the family wardrobe, whether for the sick or the well, the new methods of preventing or attacking disease must be considered. How to keep the body warm and the bodroom filled with pure air is one household problem which can be solved largely in the sewing room. It is generally agreed that with warm sleeping attire and warm feet, all under ample covering, the cold room will work good instead of harm to the sleeper. This means a winter farewell to muslin, nainsook and dimity nightgowns, with low necks and elbow sleeves. A famous specialist in bronchial and lung troubles says that the low-necked short-sleeved nightdress worn in cold weather is a common cause of colds which if not fatal are deep-seated and difficult to cure. The proper nightdress for cold weather is the simplest model made in wash flannel, a pretty model for which is shown. Barring a few tucks on the shoulder for the full figure, this gown is plain back and front, a factor in laundering all flannels. It also fits snugly around the throat and has long sleeves fitted into a narrow cuff. In the model, silk-and-wool cloth was used with german val lace for trimming, but equally satisfactory results can be secured by employing a good grade of wash flannel at about 12 cents a yard, with trimming of torchon lace. Do not use hamburg embroidery on wash flannel. It does not wash as well as the heavy torchon laces. If you do your own laundry work, and are sure that your night dresses will not be frozen in the process of drying, use fine striped designs in blue and white, and pink and white. But if your clothing is at the more or less tender mercy of an outside laundress, pin your faith on gray and white, which will not fade under freezing. There are also some pretty designs in tan color and white. Another fashion in hygienic living is exercise outdoors, no matter what the weather, and this means warmer outdoor raiment than the smart tailored suit and in fabrics which will withstand rain and snow. For this use, a skirt clearing the ground by at least four inches and a stout storm coat are essential. Cravennetted or rain-proof cloths can be bought from two dollars a yard upward, in 52-inch width, and a variety of subdued colorings, like oxford gray and tan. PROLONG LIFE OF UMBRELLA. Shelter Case Better Than a Stand in the Hall. Umbrellas, when not in use, are often more hardly treated than when they are actually open and out of doors, whether in rain or in sunshine. Left in a hall-stand, which, must of necessity be dusty, and very frequently torn by the ferrule of sticks or other umbrellas, they sometimes have ```markdown ``` a very hard time of it, and quickly grow shabby and soiled. In our sketch, we give a suggestion for a useful wall-pocket, to serve as a sunshade holder, and to be fastened into the back of a wardrobe or cupboard. This pocket is so flat that it will not interfere at all with the various garments hanging in the same place, as these will be suspended, of course, from pegs which are put in much higher up. It should be made in brown holland, with stitched tapes between each division, and it might easily be fastened to the back of the cupboard with large drawing-pins or brass-headed nails. Each pocket is bound at the tcp with ribbon. Silk Umbrella Covers This usually discarded article has many uses for the thrifty housewife. Cut the full length next to the seam. Dampen and press. Then roll up ready to be used to line a standing collar, replace a worn collar band, convert by folding and stitching into a tape to hang up coats and dresses, facing for sleeves, instead of a thickness of dress material, or binding for sleeves, as it is much softer than binding ribbon.

Remember in preparing this dish that it is only one course of your luncheon menu, so when you have drawn and wiped your chicken dry, cut it into small sections, discarding the back and neck for future use in making stock. Cut the breast into at least three pieces, and do not use the giblets at all. Melt two tablespoons of clear bacon drippings and lay the chicken in this, turning it often so that it mellows in the bacon grease, but does not fry brown. Cover, set on the back of the stove, and let it steam half an hour. It should not be permitted to burn down. Roll each piece separately in fine breadcrumbs already seasoned with salt and pepper. Pour off any liquid or broth that may be left in the skillet to use in the gravy, and add fresh bacon grease or a little butter or both. Brown the chicken in this grease, remove, drain and arrange on a hot platter. To the drippings left in the pan add one tablespoonful of flour, rub smooth and then add whatever liquor you may have poured from the chicken and half a cup of rich, sweet milk or thin cream. When this comes to a boil add one cup of canned asparagus tips which have been drained, a pinch of ground mace, a few drops of lemon juice and the yolk of one egg. Just as it comes to a boil, and before the yolk of the egg curdles, pour over the chicken and serve piping hot. MAKES A RICH DESSERT. Recipe for Cream Nut Pie That Will Serve Eight Persons. One baked pastry shell, one pint milk, three whole eggs and two whites, one tablespoonful cornstarch, one cupful sugar, one teaspoonful almond extract, one pint of whipping cream, and one cupful English walnuts, ground fine. Way of Preparing.—Beat the whole eggs and the whites until thick, then add the sugar and cornstarch sifted together. Then add the milk. Place this mixture in a double broiler and cook, stirring all the time. When thick remove from the fire and allow it to cool. When cold add the flavoring and nuts and fold in one half of the cream whipped until stiff. Then place this in the shell. Flavor and sweeten remaining half of the cream and whip very stiff. Place this on top of the cream nut mixtures, sprinkle with chopped nuts and serve. This is very rich and will serve eight persons. Surprise Potatoes. Boil until mealy white potatoes, then mash and beat until free from lumps; season with salt and white pepper and add a little butter. Make them into balls about the size of a large egg; with a teaspoon make a cavity in each ball into which drop three creamed oysters, cover the cavity and, after making the ball as round as possible, roll it first in a well-beaten egg, then into cracker crumbs, drop into boiling fat, which should be deep enough to cover the balls without letting them touch the bottom of the kettle. Fry to a delicate brown, garnish each ball with a sprig of holly and serve hot with oyster sauce. The same can be stuffed with chicken or turkey. Keep Broiler Clean. Almost every one who broils steak in a gas oven has experienced no small amount of trouble in keeping the broiler clean and shiny. An easy way out of this is to place the steak on the broiler and instead of leaving the pan underneath dry, place about two inches of cold water in the pan. The fat drops into the water and is purified, and may then be skimmed off and used. In this way the pan is never allowed to dry and burn, and the oven is kept free from grease. Sour Cream Soup. A fine winter soup, containing enough nourishment to constitute a full meal is made by the following Dutch recipe: Four medium sized potatoes, one-half pint of sour cream, one egg and one lump of butter the size of an egg. Pare and slice the potatoes and boll in three pints of water. When done add butter and salt to taste, and then the egg and cream, well beaten together. Do not boll after cream is added or it will curdle. Pour over squares of stale bread and serve hot. Salmon Patties. These make a good dish for luncheon or dinner, whether served hot or cold. Mince freshly boiled or canned salmon fine and season well with salt, pepper, cayenne, and a grating of nutmeg. Rub in a small quantity of butter and bind with the beaten yolk of an egg. Line tart tins with puff paste, fill with the salmon mixture, cover each with a cover of paste, trim around the edges, moisten, and press together. Bake in a hot oven. Mock Whitebait This is a London dish recently introduced here. To prepare it parbull an egg plant in salted water, then cut in little strips the size and shape of the whitebait. Shake in a plate of flour until dusted all over, then put in a frying basket and fry in deep fat to a crisp, golden brown. Drain, dust with cayenne, and serve with lemon and slices of buttered brown bread. Mocha Filling. For a nice thick frosting, cream 1½ cups powdered sugar with small tablespoon of butter. Add five teaspoons cocoa and about three tablespoons cold coffee or enough to make it spread nicely on cake. Flavor with vanilla. It doesn't harden.
