Neither Boulder or Denver showed up
m the best Of form ut the beginning of
the season. but later games have witness
ed marked advances by both.
Boulder's defensive in later games has
been dec tdedly on the mend and it is in
this particular that the game will be de-.
-ided. On almost every style of offens
i've play. the Boulder boys are gamers.
Che Nebraska team was astonlshed at the
line bucks and end runs of the Colorado
ans. In he matter of fumbles, the BouI-
der contingent can only trust to luck.
The Boulder team will tumble just so
often and one can only hope that by
good luck the ball can be regained.
The line up will not be greatly differ
ent from that IN the Nebraska game, but
will be strengthened by the addition of
Folsom at left end. Rothwell will play
at right end and if he can repeat his
playing of last Thursday Boulder can
look for strong defense in that quarter
Wolcott at center. the two Garwoods at
guard, Hogarty and Schaeffer at tackles
will render the line as strong as need be
desired. Merten will take full back,
Chase quarter back. and John Rogers
and McMurray, left and right halves re-
spectively. This is the team on which
Boulder banks its hopes and events will
prove that the confidence is not mis-.
placed.

There were five of these rum-filled
candies in the box. The others were
chocolates made of harmless concoc-
lions. The rum-filled candies were ia
ken out of the box and shown TO the
sympathizers and members of the w.
G. T. u. The recipient of the candy
felt 1t her duty TO investigate the mat
ts; and see whether the demand for
such candies was widespread.
. She first went to Haas candy store.
Have you any filled chocolates" she
asked the shop girl.
FILLED with what?" inquired the
girl
Il don't know" responded the lady;
"but it's some sort of liquid
"Oh, you mean the candies filled with
rum" and the girl proceeded TO mea-
sure out the required amount.
Most people like chocolates. don't
they?" said the w. c. 7. q. member,
artlessly.
yes. especially these filled with cor
dial" answered the girl.
Csruenhagen's was the next store Wis
tied. Chocolates filed with rum were
purchased, the shop girl making no Sc
cret of the nature of the ingredient.
What do you call these candies ?"
asked the w. c. T. u. member.
Chocolates filled with cordials,"
answered the girl.
Are they good?" inquired the lady.
Everybody likes them. They are
very popular. We sell a great many"
responded the girl.
A number of the smaller shops down
town were visited and in all of them
the rum-fiiled or Cordial chocolates
were obtainable.

ever realized how widespread was their
sale.
They unanimously agreed that ii was
a most dangerous habit. Ways and
means of preventing the sale of such
candies were discussed. The ladies de-
termined that something must be done
at once Is the CONNECTIONS filled with
rum are temptations that assail those
who otherwise might never meet the
tempter. A definite way of fighting the
rum filled chocolates was put over till
the next meeting and the following
resolution was adopted by unanimous
vote:
Moved that we greatly deplore
the increased popularity of the use
of alcoholic liquors in confectionery
believing that thereby a pernicious
taste is engendered and a danger
Gus habit encouraged. We most
heartily approve OF any action pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale

Whether the candy dealers will take
the same point of view that the w. G.
T. u. does is question.
The chemist who analysed the choco-
lates says that the percentage of rum
in each candy is small.
But the W. c. T. u. care not about
the amount. They say there is enough
to create a longing in the eater If she
has a latent tendency toward alcohol,
and certainly enough to awaken a de-
sire for more If the taste of the candies
is found particularly agreeable.
So the Union Is determined that at
least every one shall know the exact
nature of the ingredients of the So
called chocolate cordials." II women

ooh, she won't know what they are,
responded the other girl. and forthwith
she ordered a pound of cordial choco-
lates."
What is the cordial made Off" asked
the w. c. 7. L. member.
Il don't know" replied the. girl
hastily. but they are rather nice" and
blushing at her fib the two girls left
the store.
The girl who bought the rum filled
candy was rather surprised to receive
a visit from the w. c. I. y. member
that same afternoon.
Il came all the way out here, she
said, Ito tell you that those cordial
chocolates are filed with rum"
"Oh, l don't think So" said the girl,
weakly.
II am positive. The manufacturers
say so and l have had them analysed
by a chemist. Won't you throw them
away?"
We've eaten them all UP. Anyway
there isn't enough rum in them TO
hurt" answered the girl defiantiy.
Then the w. c.. T. u. member told
her something that she had never
known. 1t was of a man who had
taken mot enough to hurt" and finally
had died a drunkard's horrible death

so much? Have l inherited the taste
from papa? Now that l realize the
danger l can fight against 1t. and the
girl crushed the empty box resolutely
and tearfully thanked her friend.
Then the w. c. T. u. member went
over to Oakland. She toured the candy
stores there and in most OF them found
cordial chocolates"
She bought a box of assorted choco-
lates and took them out to a friend.

BANKING I'M SWITZERLAND.

Some of the methods are sufficiently
antiquated, according to our standards.
For instance, 1t requires fifteen minutes
in which to make a deposit at bank.
Every banking house has numerous
chairs outside the railing. and the visitor
is expected to sit quietly and cultivate a
spirit of patience while the machinery is
getting under way. A customer who
wishes to make a deposit goes to a
window and hands in his money, together
with a memorandum Of the amount. The
employee behind the railing counts the
money and prepares a receipt for II, add
ing his signature by way of preliminary.
Then a small boy takes this receipt up
stairs and submits 1t to an official, who
studies and then ponders for while
as to whether IL will be safe to take the
money If he decides that the bank can
undertake the risk he passes the receipt
to another man. who prepares a dupli-
cate slip and makes several entries and
finally signs his name. Then, as soon as

do you know what that is?" asked
the w. c. T. u. member.
mo. l have always intended to ask
what they favor these candies with be-
cause the children are so fond of them. -
II you knew that it was rum would
you allow the children to eat them?"
Certainly not. But is it really rum?
1 never imagined such a thing. To think
that 1 have been buying them un-
knowingly and perhaps giving the chill
dren an appetite for rum. You ought
to let every mother know what the
contents of these candies are that

told"

can. That is If you wish to be
up to date, for the Non-Treating Club
is one of the greatest movements ever
started in this or any other country,
at least it's promoters say it is.
The Nom Treating Club started In
Chicago only a few weeks ago. 1t now
has thousands of members all over the
country and has just struck San Fran
cisco. The first box of 500 buttons was
received here only few days ago and
already the supply is exhausted An
order for several thousand has been
sent to Chicago and it is very apparent
that they won't last long after they
get here.
Everybody who has joined the Nom
Treating Club thinks it the greatest
scheme that ever was, and many who
haven't joined are singing it's praises
and calling aloud for a button and a
membership card.
In fact the only men who have been
heard to utter a word against the Nom
Treating Club are the saloon-keeperS.
They say it is bad because it strikes
at sociability. Members OF the Nom
Treating Club have another expiana-
ton.
With a membership of only a few
thousand in San Francisco the Nom
Treating Club could strike heavier
blow at the evils of the liquor business
than all the temperance talk that has
been launched here in years or any pro-
hibition law that has been enacted.
The founder of the Non Treating Club
is E. T. Monet Of Chicago. He says
that the club was formed to correct the
evils of the treating habit in saloons.

Club. ing Club was s+ort
ed by myself and few friends agreeing
not TO treat one another. In a very few
days we all saw the benefit of the plan
and explained it to others, who at once
became eager to join. At present il is
possible for me tC leave my office, get
my own drink and come back without
offending my friends and foolishiy
drinking more than is good for me. It's
great scheme. The railroad men have
taken it up and are spreading the good
work.
At present it is a little hard to pick
out the Treating Club buttons
from among the vast number being
worn for favorite candidates. But the
buttons are there. The five hundred
have been well distributed. When they
are cast among a lot of friends they do
the most good, for each understands
the feelings of the others
The most noticeable movement of
this kind has been among the pupils of
Professor Van der Naillen's school If
engineering. Most of them are men
somewhat along in years, but as usual
they fell into the college habit of treat
ciability.
But now all is changed. The entire

Non-Treating Club. No pupil viii ac-
eept or tender a drink when one or
more OF them are together. If one
wants drink he buys it and the others
are not offended at not being asked.
The result is that they have All that
they want to drink, but no more. and
consequently have more money than

Union.
She Immediately put on her bonnet
and armed with the innocent looking
candy sailed forth to hoTrify the
friends with the alluring sweets. She
took the box with her TO the last meet
ing OF the ". c. T. L, and a resolution
was passed condemning the character
OF the candy.
The committee did not condemn the
donor of the candy. In fact, she was
as Mortified as the other ladies when
she learned that her gift, meant as
token of affection, contained poison. >"
Poison" is the term the ladies Of the

ingredient Of the candy.

The lady who bought the candy asked
for assorted chocolates. She was not
aware of the fact that there are chOc0-
lates filed with rum. Hence she did
not request the shop girl 10 leave out
the cordial chocolates.
