Colorado.

The State is making such marvelo STRIDES
that are becoming the wonder Of thd world.
Agriculturally, Colorado is coming TO the
fore, and her products are becoming famous
tor their superior quality and magnificent
proportions. Delicious fruits and whole
some vegetables, grain and grasses arc also
superior to anything produced elsewhere in
the United States, while cur productions of
precious metals continue to represent one
third Of the annual production of the whole
United States. The baser metals are just
beginning to come in for their share of at
tention. We have exhaustless beds OF iron,
copper, lead and zinc that promise to be-
come of equal value ere long to ouI precious
metal output. While our coal fields are
scarcely equaled in extent and quality by
the entire United States. Besides oil fields
are also being developed that will sudply all
the United States west Of the Missouri river.
Natural gas wellst'e just awaiting enter
prise and capital to place them in the front
rank, and build up in Colorado the largest
iron manufactures in America. In addition
to all of the industrial resources enumerated,
Colorado is blessed with beautiful scenery,
unequalae except in Switzerland--a health
giving atmosphere nowhere else equaled in
the world; unsurpassed mineral springs, hot
and cold, with easy rail connection to the
remotest nook of this wonderful State.
Cheap fares and luxuriant ease is the motto
of our enterprisiug railway lines. The east
ern border of Colorado has just begun to
feel the effects of immigration, and towns of
500 and 1000 souls have sprung up in the
past few months; the tide of immigration is
steady and populous communities have been
formed and are still forming on the plains in
eastern Colorado, where less than one decade
ago it was not thought possible for thing
to grow except cactus; to-day innumerable
farms are being successfully cultivated, and
the time is approaching when Colorado will
not have to draw on Kansas and Nebraska
for her supplies OF the necessaries Of life.
1t has been truly said that Colorado is
more nearly independent of the entire world
than any State in the Union, because of her
varied resources. Colorado combines all
natural resources of America.

q Toothache may arise from sensitive den

of the teeth, chemical abrasion, and decay.
Decay Is most frequently the cause and the
one most effectually rGmedied. To prevent
decay the use Of toothbrush and tooth-pick
are earnestly recommended. Begin early in
The brush should be of moderate. stiffness
and should be used twice day at least,
upon arising in the morning and before
going bed at night Care should be taken
to clean the surface next to the. tongue and
between the teeth. The toothpick should
be used as often as food if eaten. Even
picking the teeth with pins is not as harm
full as eating lemon and failing to clean
the teeth aiterward. Eating sugar will not
make any more inroad on the teeth than the
same amount of apple. Here, as elsewhere,
the ounce of prevention is worth more than
tine pound of cure.

Disease IN MILK! -

The subject of purity and healthfulness
Of milk and its products has received much
attention from medical and sanitary author
tiles during the past year, and some re-
markable results of Investigations are now
being made public. A lecture on the etiology
of scarlet fever was recently delivered by
DR.. E. Klein, F. G. S., before the Royal in
stitution in London. The principal theme
of the paper was the relation of scarlet fever
to milk supply. The possibility of the dis
semination, and even origin, of the disease
from this source was considered at length.
Recorded cases are quoted to prove its pos
sibility. The lecturer treats it as certainty
that milk has caused the spread of scarlet
fever. Experiments by N. Galthier,a French
scientist, have been Published. These were
directed to tubercular sickness. Dairy pro-
duce from COWS affected with tubercular
disease was the subject OF the Investigations.
Professor Galthier found that such articles
of diet could communicate phthisis or con-
sumption to ponltry and swine, and could
become thus directly or indirectly serious
menace to man,
Within the last few years a number Of
outbreaks of disease have been traced with
great certainty to dairies as the center of
contagion, So well proved have these cases
seemed, that they have originated special
popular names for the sickness thus occa.
stoned. Thus milk typhoid, milk scarlatina,
and milk diphtheyia have come 10 be recog-
nized. In number of accurately recorded
cases, an outbreak of some specific disease
has been noted. The general history in al
was Identical. The spread was limited to {
certain number of families. The medica
officers found that all the families thus af
fected were supplied with milk from tn
same dealer. Then, on examining the stab!
or dairy whence the milk came, the sourc
of contagion was manifest. A case of seal
let fever would be found in the family Q
among the employees, or some of the res
dents possiblp had diphtheria. In numbs
of instances such conditions were estai
lished At the present time the Englis
health authorities consider these cases prove
They form the basis for somewhat di
quieting suspicion affecting our milk suppl
But their is more alarming aspect of IL
question. The result of some of the mo
recent observations is that COWS may theI
selyes become infected with sickness !
semb,ipg scarlet fever, and that such COZ
may, by their milk, cause the true scarl
fever to be developed in human beings.
This conclusion has been led to by exar
nation of data in recorded cases. In sol
, instances where the origin of the sickn'
was traced to milk, and where also scar
fever case had existed in some person CT

Care of the Teeth in Childhood i.

The formation of the teeth begins at al
Early stage of fetal life, and continues ofte
until the body is fully matured. First is
the development of the decidous, or tempo
rary teeth. The first teeth are fdapted to
che size Of the jaws. As the ,eIgel to anS
fran ess ssFasrq sis Il r 4 s2gst GsH ss
stronger ones, which are intended to lastst
through life. 1t is mistake TO suppose
that the temporary teeth are only of tempo
rary Importance. The teeth are too often
neglected during the first ten or twelve years
of chiId's life. The irregularity of the
teeth SO common in adults is generally
caused by the extraction Of the child's tenn
porary teeth before the permanent ones take
their places. The jaws, consequently, con-
crow led condition.
The teeth are the hardest portions Of the
human body, and yet they soon became use
less through decay. 1t can be safely esti-
mated that in a city of $4,000 people there
are not 100 of the native inhabitants be-
tween the ages OF 4 aud ID whose teeth have
wholly escaped decay, if the decay were to
continue unchecked, most of the inhabitants
would be toothless by the timo they were
so.
If the future men and women are to have
good teeth the care of them must begin in
childhood. 1t is mistake to have the tenn
porary teeth extracted when they decay and
cause pain. 1t is best to preserve the first
| teeth until the permanent ones are ready to
| be erupted. To do this il is necessary to
have filled the temporary teeth that show
signs of decay AS children do not under
stand the Importance Of retaining their teet th,
| it becomes the duty of parents to examine
their chidren's teeth frequently and see
| that the laws essential to health and comfort
are obeyed. The nerve Of temporary teeth
is near the surface, easily exposed and easily
destroyed. When this is done, and the on.
trance to the nerve channel closed-with food
or otherwise-the inevitable gum-boil makes
its appearance. The boil is not disc. Sc Of
the gum; It's cause is in the centre Of the
tooth.
The predisposing cause of decay is no
fully known. The structure and density o
the child's first teeth is dependent largel,
upon the health of its mother. Some food
rich in phosphate, when partaken by th
mother, are supposed to be conducive tt
the child that is to be born. 1t is espeoiall,
important that children at an early ag
should be taught to clean their teeth-taugh

elapfed before the breaking out OF the
epidemic to allow it to be attributed to
direct conveyance by the milk. Another
class of cases is cited in which human
origin, proximate or ultimate, could in no
| way be traced. In one such instance an
| outbreak of scarlet fever was associated
| with a certain dairy. No human being could
in any way be fixed upon as the originator.
Even the sanitary conditions were examined
with negative results. The disease was
finally attributed 60 certain COWS. Exami-
nation of them showed the presence of
disease, whose symptoms included sores
upon the body, ulcerations and viseeral
complaint resembling that occurring in scar
let fever made it almost certainty that
they were the origin of the trouble.
The examination by bacterial analysis was
entered into and confirmed these suspicious.
The same micrococcus was found in the
blood of scarlet fever patients and in the
affected COWS. The action Of the human
microbe on animals was identical with that
of the vaccine one. This Investigation, a
full outline of which it is needless to give,
clinched the proof. Succeeding occurrences
investigated in the same general way gave
identical results.
1t may be considered as clearly proved
that milk can be serious source Of danger
to health or life. The remedy is a simple
one. By heat the micrococci are destroyed.
If the milk is heated to 2s5 deg. F., it will
be rendered safe. Any infectious microbes
present will be killed. But while this dis
poses of the milk it does not touch the dis
posal of milk products. Butter, cream and
cheese are all uncooked. Butter represents
raw fat, OF uncooked oleaginous matter. 1t
cannot be heated to high degree without
degree without injury. One of the methods
of freeing it from casein was to melt it,
but the process was found to cause deteriora-

ttAnd i, III The ELfted mp From the Earth
wtn Draw All Men unto Me."

John IL, so.
Nineteen hundred years have passed
Lacking only forty eight
Since the Saviour pure and holy
Yielded to q feon's fate;
DIED death of woe and shame
Nailed upon the accursed tree
That the ones who nailed him there
Future happiness might see.
Suffered to be spat upon
Buflted and put to shame,
That they and theirs tho stepped in sin
Might claim Salvation through his name.
Yielded life to him as dear
AS any human life could be,
Drained to the dregs the bitter cup
OF sorrow, woe and misery.
Oh well tho sun might hide its face
And cast upon the scene shade;
For he who hangs upon the cross
To its creation lent his aid
Near Nineteen Centuries have passed,
And the Cross accursed then,
Now is held in reverence deep
By all good and holy men.
BY the Cross they lsneel to pray
When afflicted deep and core,
And in memory Of his pain
Unto him their anguish pour.
When the hand of death hath torn
Some dear loved one from the fold
Go they to the Gross of Christ
Where his suffeIings were untold.
And they pour to him their heart
Plead that by his WOO and grief,
BY his anguish on the Cross,
They may find through him relief.
When the smiles offortune lure,
Then too often men are prone,
To forget the Cross of Christ
And attempt the path alone.
Trusting in their feeble strength,
Wandering on from day TO day,
Biindly cropping in the dark,
Until they have lost the way;
Lifting then their eyes above
For guide post to the fold,
Ruggid, rough, with arms outstretched,
They the Gross of Christ behold.
Knpeling humbly cry with tears,
Thou, oh Christ who here hath died,
Thou henceforth forevermore
Through life's maze shalt be my guide.
May we like the ivy cling to the foreyermore,
Till we through its sacrifice,
Reach the Everlasting Shore.
Then the cross will sink to Wow,
Never more again to riseI
When upon the Cruciied
We have cast our beaming eyes

In my judgment the temperance
movement is one of the greatest i'm
portance. 1t seems as if other re-
forms, sorely needed, could not be
made until the success of our temper
ance reform had laid a foundation for
them. Allow me to add that at this
stage of our movement, when fifty
years Of agitation have thoroughly ed
ucated the nation on this subject, it
seems to me we are wasting our labor
unless we supplement moral suasion
by demanding of our several States
such legislation as will make our
streets safe for reformed men to walk
