A disordered stomach may cause no
end of trouble. When the stomach
fails to perform its functions the bow
els become deranged, the liver and
kidneys congested, causing numerous
diseases. the most fatal of which are
painless and therefore the more to be
dreaded The important thing is to
restore the stomach and liver to a
healthy condition, and for this pur-
pose no better preparation can be

BELL AND BROWN
HAVE RESIGNED


Denver Post: Adjutant General
Sherman Bell and Colonel James
Brown of the National Guard. have
given to the governor their condition
al designations Both officers took this
action Thursday, the day the executive
left for the east. Neither of the Off
GERS will discuss the affair. Other of
ficers of the guard deny that they CON
template a similar course
Dissatisfaction with many acts of
the governor is said to be the direct
cause of the action. Criticism to
which both officers have been subject
ed as the result of the calling out of
troops for the strike at Colorado City
and for other official acts is said to
have had an influence in causing them
TO act
The designations as they went to the
governor were to lenome effective
May /. What the letter to the execu-
tive contained those who directed it to
him will not say They state that it
is better that lac shJ.ld first make an
announcement Colonel Brown has
resigned from the honorary staff of the
governor,
Both General Bell and Colonel
Brown spent yesterday at Colorado
Springs. They returned lasr night to
find that their designations had been
practically announced. After dinner
at the Brown Palace they made a for
NAL statement that fails to make clear
the situation. Each said he would
say nothing more than is contained in
this statement. Regarding the resig-
nations they say:
we are at a considerable loss to
understand upon what authority the
statement is based Ii is not said that
it is made upon any authority ema-
mating from the governor or his office.
Courtesy to the governor who is at
present absent from the state, re-
quires that we remain silent until his
return. We have nothing more TO say
upon that subject at present. Today,
while at the Springs, we perfected
some of the arrangements for the at
tendance Of the governors staff at the
dedicatory exercises of the ST. Louis
worlds fair, to be held the latter part
Of this month"
With the announcement of the ten
der of designations there was much
speculation as to what was at the bot
tom of the affair. Colonel Brown is
said to be displeased because he was
not made president OF the fire and po-
lice board. General Bell is his firm
friend Both are also said to feel
keenly the fact that the governor was
given all the credit for the adjustment
OF the Colorado City strike. That the
action was agreed upon during the
last few days is evident because the
adjutant general only yesterday receiv-
ed his new uniform.
The announcement Immediately
brought forth many reports OF the con
templated designations of other officers
of the guard. One of the highest Off
GERS of the guard said yesterday that
none of the others would resign.
There was some talk yesterday af-
ternoon and last night regarding the
non-payment of the troops for their
service at Colorado City during the
strike The adjutant general an
nounced that night last each man
would receive every dollar to which
he was entitled and none would be
compelled to stand a discount of his
pay warrant On this point the adju-
tant general made the following state
ment:

Twas the only Japanese student at a
big university on a big lake. Her
name was Helen Sturtevant and she
was an American student at the same

low like nearly all Of his race. Helen
was a great, splendid creature who
lowered more than a head above the
little Jap.

held her, It's curious. but it's as true
as the synoptlc gospel that little men,
that Is extremely little men, generally
manage to fall in love with big women.
Helen sturteyant liked the devotion
OF the Jap. She treated him with an
amused sort OF federation. Every
woman likes devotion, even though It
is shown by a little chap.
The co-eds gossiped much. and at
times rather noisily about the devo-

beaux among the American students
that It is just barely possible some

let 500 attach himself to their trains,
