Wheat is lower; weaker cables have

Pipe Smokers.

Men of strong fiber smoke pipes.
This assertion is based on critical OBJ
servation, and the longer live the
stronger is my conviction of its truth.
After watching gang of Italians
eating their midday meal, picked out
nearly every one who would smoke a
pipe, my selection being put to the
proof as soon as bread and pork were
gotten out of the way. Do not under
stand me to say that all men of strong
fiber smoke pipes. By no means. Some
of the strongest mental as well as
physical material do not smoke at all,
and | think there are few sterling fell
lows who inhale cigarettes. But take
men as they go, here, there and every
where, in all the walks of life, the pipe
smokers are generally Harveyized

Notwithstanding denials it is fact
that typhoid fever is epidemic in Boul-
der and also that it is result in many
instances of unsanitary conditions. Boul.
der can boast of splendid sewer system
for town Of its size, and it is possible
TO remedy these conditions. 1t is stated
that the health officer is at present con.
fined at home by illness, but this does
not preclude the possibility of appoint
ing substitute to perform his duties at
this most important time. There are at
present between thirty.6ve and forty
cases of fever in Boulder. This is the
situation confronting US and it means
that stricter observance of sanitary
laws must be enforced.
