LOOK OUT
For CoIds-La Grippe!

Protect yourself, and don't trust to
Providence. Considering the harm
done, neglect" before and after taking
a cold is a physical crime. You may
prevent cold, or, if too late, you can
insure yourself against the latter ef-
ects," for there is the greatest danger,
by using DR.. Harter's Iron Tonic. Few
die from Colds, or La Grippe, or Ca
tarrh. They die of the after effects
These diseases all weaken, and to a
weakened body come focking host OF
diseases that fasten on weak lungs,
heart, stomach, kidneys, and other
weak parts that we seldom think OF.
The easiest and best thing to do is to
fortify the system so that you will not
catch cold, but if too late to do that,
then you must see that no lasting in
Jury is done. Medical authorities all
agree that iron is the fighting element OF
the blood enabling the system not only
to ward off disease, but to fight it after

The Main Point.

Senator Bucklin answers his critics,
Mr. Twitchell and Prof Rossignol, in the
Sunday issue OF the Denver dailies. His
answer is unanswerable. He shows that
the main point of the Australasian Tax
Amendment, its local option or home
rule feature, Messrs. Twitchell and Ros-
signol do not notice at ALL Can the peo-
pie be trusted to frame their own laws?
Or is the American idea OF self-govern-
ment an utter and complete failure?
This is the question. Senator Bucklin
says:
"There is one thing about the Austria
lasian Tax Amendment that is so promi-
nent that no fair consideration Of the
matter can ignore it, and that is the fact
that it does not establish any changes of
any kind whatever, but merely places
power in the hands of the people to
make changes in the future should they
so desire. This is in reality the whole
question. Not whether the Australasian
Tax is just or unjust, whether it is wise
or unwise, but whether the people should
have control of, the subject whether
they are capable of local self-govern-
ment. Even il all the arguments Of Mr..
Twitchell and Prof. Rossignol are cor
rect in every particular, yet they have
not touched the real question at issue,
which is whether the people can be safe
ly trusted with power. II they can be,
than thero 10 M GOOD ransnn for onnoain q
the amendment. Underneath all oppo-
sition to this amendment will be found a
complete distrust of the American idea
OF self-government. Disguise it as they
will, our opponents oppose this measure
because they fear the people. They
think or profess to think that il the peo-
pie are given power they will drive capi-
tai out of the state; that they will place
the just burdens OF the many on the few;
that they will entirely exempt the cattle
and other companies on the public do
main; that they will place all taxes on
farmers in agricultural counties, where
farmers are in the majority; that, in
short, il the people of any county are
given power over local taxation, they
will do everything that is bad and moth
ing that is good. This is their funda.
mental reason for opposing the amend
ment-not that the amendment is bad
but that the people are bad. Our op-
ponents do not discuss this feature OF
the question, and dare not discuss it."

IL she could have made it more convincing
she would have done 20. She has shown
every young girl the way TO health and if
they do not accept il they refuse health

TIN the times Of our grandmothers a
girl who vas strong and healthy and
~ had a good appetite was considered
coarse and unattractive. She did not take
exercise in the open air as her grand
daughters do, but tortured herself in tight
Corsets and tight shoes and spent her time
in the house with her music or crocheting.
But the tiInes have changed and the strong,
healthy, rosy-cheeked girl is the twentieth
century beauty. Her beauty is in health
which gives her a clear complexion, a
buoyant manner and a happy and lovable
disposition. Although girls are more ac-
tive and robust than they were a century
ago, yet there are hundreds of thousands of
them today suffering female weakness be-
cause of carelessness or ignorance of the
ordinary laws of health. They stay up late
at night and lose hours of needed rest.
Going to parties and returning home in the
chilly night air, insuficiently clothed, is
the cause of many cases of female ills
which finally result in other serious troubles.

PREPARING FOR CONVENTIONS
County Committed of Republican and
Peoples Parties 10 Meet
Next Week.

Chairman Goss said yesterday that the
republican county central committee prob
ably would be called to meet Saturday,
May "a.
That date" said the chairman, will al
low us the twenty days necessary in which
to give notice of the primaries for June 13
end the county convention for June Il. So
far as / know the only business Of the
county convention will be the selection OF
gates to the state and judicial conven-
is. l have heard nothing from the con-
gressional committee and do not know when
1t expects to call the congressional conven-
ton"
Chairman Morrow Of the peoples party
count committee is around trying to find
out where he lie at" with reference to the
calling Of the county convention. The state
convention meets in June, and at a recent
meeting Of the Peter Cooper club a special
committee consisting of H.. F. Mcintosh, f.
E. Thomas and George Magney was APP
pointed to confer with the county central
committee in regard to the selection Of del
egates to the state convention. So far this
committee has made no advances toward
the county central committee, and the
chairman is becoming anxious and y~ester-
day morning he started out to get advice.
He was not present at the meeting Of the
club, so did not know what that society
desired.
He conferred with the secretary Of the
central committee and could get no infor-
nation from him, as he had not attended
the meeting. When George Magney was
seen he confessed that he was not at the
meeting at which he was appointed TO con-
fer with the committee and had no idea Of
what the club desired to have done.
III 49,
within the coming week." said Mr.. Morrow,
"and l would like to know what they ex>
pect me to do, II they have some new idea
upon the subject which has not been pre-
scented. I don't want to call the convention
without the opinion of the club, but that
committee will have to get around pretty
soon IL 1t has any advice to give"
