Women Made Eligible to Join the National
Guards in Colorado.
DENVER. Col, April 10.-The new
militia law, introduced by Rhode, and
passed by the house and senate, intro
duces one of the most startling revolu-
tions in modern warfare that has yet
been adopted by any civilized nation,
for under it's provisions the Colorado
national guard may in future be COM
posed of both men and women, Colo
RADIO, always foremost in adopting adj
vanced ideas, has capped the climax,
after permitting women to vote, abol-
fishing capital punishment and allowing
women to serve on juries, by passing a
law which will enable them in the flu
ture to participate in actual warfare,
side by side with man, her natural
protector. The bill has not yet been
signed by the governor, but there is
little doubt that it will be signed, and
the period of mans tyranny in Colo
RADIO will be at an end. Should women,
however, enlist under the new law a
change in the style of uniform that
have heretof ore been furnished the ma
tional guard in Colorado will be nee
essary, but this is problem which can
easily be solved.

lives, among them Mrs. Powers, who
was caught beneath the falling tim
berS of her house and crushed. The
rest of the family was rescued. among
them baby three weeks old, whom
the mother protected at the cost of her
own life. The second section of
the tornado was detected upon
the Flint valley, breaking across
south Georgia and passing through
Arlington, where but few weeks ago
nine children were killed in the ruins
of their schoolhouSe. Reaching Val
dosta, the storm became intensified in
fury and trees were blown down in
every part of the city. a church in
the southern part of the city was
wrenched from it's foundations and
twisted into fragments by the angry
winds. From many other towns in the
vicinity reports of equally alarming
nature are coming in.

The kAvA-KAyA SHRUB ana PROBABLY was
(Piper Aeahysticunl used for centuries
by the natives before its extraordinary
properties became known to civilization
through Christian missionaries. In
this respect it resembles the discovery
of quinine from the peruvian bark,
made known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries in South America,
and by them brought to civilized man.
It is wonderful discovery, with rec
ord of 1900 hospital cures in 80 days. 1t
acts directly upon the blood and kid
neys, and is true specific, just as qui
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony of many ministers of the

iatly accomplished in a most satisfactory
way. Her properties were few and SIM

in all her books. There was the heroine, a
young, pretty, unconventional, but Sweetly
innocent and poor Irish maid; there was
a group of brothers and sisters revolving
about her, a dreamy father. q. lover of high
degree whom a designing and unworthy
but fascinating widow sought to win away
from her; %neighbors and some wealthy rel
atives who came out strong in the end
were in the background. Out of these elc-
ments she constructed many sprightly ro-
mances that soothed and never tired, that
involved nO strain of mind or scarcely any
conscious thought on the readers part
and certainly never kept him awake when
the book was done. They simply enter
