Rect Sugar in Colorado.

The beet sugar factories already in
operation in Colorado will produce in
the next three or four months enough
sugar to satisfy all demands of every
man, woman and child in Coo. ado and
thousands in adjoining sections. ANd
there will not be the slightest danger
of any tricks of refinerS of the east in
adulterating the saccharine product.
On the contrary, not only will sugar
that is sugar be shipped to all, but the
price will be steadier than has ever
been known, for the Peep will not be
at the mercy of a rapacious trust. The
independent sugar producers of Colo
RADIO will pay out to farmers for
sugar beets this year nearly $4,000
and will also disburse over 100000 to
employees and others. Wi h the FIR eight
rates and other necessary disburse-
ments, it is reasonable to believe that
the new industry will add $4,000,000
to the fund of prosperity of the, state.
And the best part of it all is that near
ly all of this money will be put into
circulation in Colorado. 1t will form
an endless chain of good times. the
heneficent results of which will be felt
in tevery walk of life in the entire
commc nwealth. Next year it is ex-
tremely likely that the sugar beet
average will be more than double, and

creased ccording1y.-Denver RepubIi-

as neurasthenia, and can be easily
cured by dieting or such simple meas
ures as dashing cold water on the
angry child or placing him before a
mirror to let him see how ugly he
looks. All this should be done calm
ly. without blows or threats. 1t will
be found that this mode of treatment
is very eficacious, but if it does not
have the desired effect co something
extremely unusual in very excited
manner. 1t may distract the child
with happy results. On the other
hand, a regular courte of treatment is
prescribed for the wickedly angry
child Let him drink nothing but wa
ter and milk. permit no meat foods, al
low him fresh vegetables. eggs and
fish. The hours of rising and retir-
ing should be fixed; he should be as
much as possible in the open air, and
be bathed and we'll rubbed daily. In
fact, regularity in all things should
be rigidly adhered to. Neurasthenics
should have as much nourishing food

HELPING EACH OTHER.
How Dan Rice Rooted Church at
Vincennes, Ind.

The circus has not always been con-
sidcred q desirable adjunct to the
church and it must have been des-
perate situation which tempted group
of Indiana women to seek aid IN Such
a quarter. The character of the show
man, however, seems to have Justlned
the attempt. 1t happened at a time
when the famous Dan" Rice was try
ing to steer his circus through imam
cial breakers. He had got as far as
Vincennes and there, one day. In
melancholy mood he was standing IN
front OF the tent figuring on the pros
pect of getting out of town at all, and
sloomily listening to disparaging COM
ments on his band by the townsfolk,
when he was approached by party or
ladies. one of whom said Colonel
Rice. we have always heard OF you as
a very charitable gentleman. Unfor-
tunately our church has been damaged
and needs a new roof. We thought
YOU might be willing to subscribe to-
ward it." The humor of the situation
appealed to the old Snowman. Here
| he was without dollar he could call
| his own, and to contribute to charity
| He pulled nickel out of his pocket
| and said with the utmost gravity
Ladies, this may appear to you g

husband her intention to give the girl
a chance Mr. Morton never denied
his wife anything; moreover, he, too.
had taken a fancy to the girl and the
chance was given with no niggard

1t would be hard to tell whether
Mr.. or Mrs Morton was most pleased

SAVED BY POVERTY.
wv little Things May Change the

How Little Things May ChahSo inc
Course of Life.
How little things may change the
whole course of a life is cited in the
story told of the late Signor Crlsp1,
who was twice prime minister or
Italy, and was one of the most dlstln-
guished statesmen of his day. In 1888,
while he was refugee in Paris, he re-
ceiyed two tickets for a performance OF
Italian opera, at which the emperor
and empress were to be present. just
as they were beginning preparations
for the evenings entertainment his
wife said: Francesca, how about the
candle?" They had exhausted their
supply of candles and We're so poor
that they could not buy another. SO,
instead of going to the opera they went
to bed. AS it happened, this was the
very night that Orsini made his at
tempt on the life of Louis Napoleon,
which was followed by the wholesale
arrest of all the Italians in the nelgh-
borhood Crispi was one OF the most
devoted adherents of the revolutionlsts
Mazzini. and his own arrest would
have been sure to result if he had not
been at home when the attempt at as
sassination was made. The incident OF
! the candle, therefore, must have had
| direct bearing on the life OF Crlspl
and in all probability averted mis-
| fortune which would have ended M:
| career even before it was begun
