slauahter Of the Innoeen...


A study Of statistics reveals the ter
rible fact that nearly one-half of all
the human beings born into the world
die before the age OF five years. In
the city OF Stetten. Germany. nearly
one-half-473 out Of every thousand
die during the first year of their lives.
In Ireland, Scotland. Norway and Swe-
den. where children are given better
care, have more outdoor life, and
more intelligent attention is given to
feeding. the number of deaths is only
one-fftieth as many as in the city
OF Stetten. being ten per cent.
Physicians are coming to recognize
that the use of cows milk, which is
infected with the germs of tubercu-
losis, is one of the most active Of
all the causes OF death among young
children. This should be remem-
bered in the artificial feeding of in
fants. The milk should either be
boiled or well scalded before being
fed to the infant. This rule should
be universally observed for adults as
well as for children. and. II applied.
will save thousands OF lives annually.

Mr.. Newman certainly had a very

continually and was filed with kissing
and roaring sounds. My heart fluttered
and had regular running-away spells.
My stomach was so sore that I could
hardly bear touch OH that part of my
body. I had great deal of pain in the
region of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged My kidneys
ached SO at times that could hardly
stand"
Didn't you give up and go to bed?"
he was asked.
"No, I simply wouldn't. My head
and my back ached dreadfully, but 1
'obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to
almost nothing"
"What did you do to get relief"
"First tried doctor, but he did me
no good. Then took all kinds of ad-
vertised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until I began to use DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. AS soon as got them
knew that had at last hit the right
remedy for my case. The very first box
did more for me than anything else I
had ever taken. They gave me relief
right away and in three months they
positively cured me. I think I was
scarcely ever in better health in my life
than am at present"
Mr.. William A. Newman is a we'll

SURE WATER SUPPLY
DENVER WILL NEVER GO DRY
cheesman Lake Equal to New York's
Big croton Reservor-.Highest
Masonry Dam in the World.

"oSShy SoUt tuc VOTtQs
The water in Cheesman lake, the
reservoir recently completed by the
Denver Union Water company, has
reached the highest point since the
construction of the monster dam,
which is the highest masonry dam in
the world.
"The water in the lake is over 1870
feet deep to-day" said Walter S. Chees-
man of the water company yesterday
THE reservoir now contains about 20,-
000,000,000 gallons of water. its great
est capacity being S0000,000 900 gal
Ions. This is the highest point yet
reached. If the water reached twenty
two feet higher it would flow over the
spillway. Six months ago the lake con-
tanned less than 160,000,0G0 gallons.
The total depth of the reservoir is 212
feet
THE capacity of Cheesman lake is
about the same as the big Croton res
ervoir in New York. which is supposed
to contain about $4,000 100000 gallons
of water However. the Croton reser-
voir is not so deep and covers so much
larger area that the danger of loss by
seepage and evaporation is increased
to such an extent that it really will
lake.
"Denver's water supply is now fully
assured. Besides this big storage at
Cheesman lake, we have also about
six or eight billion gallons of water in
Marston lake, which is more than half
full. Exclusive of these reservoirs, our
water rights would more than supply
the city of Denver. We have esti-
mated that the people of Denver will
consume about 100000, 900 gallons Of
water the coming year. so it can read
lily be seen that we are on the safe
side.
However, We do not count all the
waste of water because several spells
of drought might seriously draw upon
the reserve supply. In building Chees-
man dam, however, We have looked far
into the future and endeavored to in
sure an amply supply of water for the
city of Denver for all time. Our loca-
tion is magnificent, there being a wa
tershed of 1,796 square miles of tim
ber contributory to Cheesman lake.
Denver is much better off than
either Chicago and New York which
always have been handicapped by a
lack of water | believe that the big
Croton project in New York will. in
twenty years, cost fully one hundred
or even two hundred million dollars to
insure an adequate water supply for
New York. The expense will be al
most a continuous one for that length
of time. for in spite of all the work
done. they will have to tap the Hud-
son river and filter its water to in
crease the supply
Our supply has been assured at
much less expense and we feel that
with what has been accomplished,
Denver is safe as regards its water
supply for all time. Denver Republi-

poubIe-Trsekins the s nta Fe.


1t would be a colossal undertaking to
double track the Santa Fe all the way
from Chicago to California and the
Gulf of Mexico.
To seriously suggest 1t now would
provoke a smile from men who know
the cost of such project.
Yet it may happen some day, if bust
ness continues to increase as rapidly
as in the last decade.
This plan of two tracks from the
Great Lakes to Pacific Ocean does not
necessarily imply that the tracks will
be laid side by side. In many cases
cut-offs will be used, thus saving in
mileage as well as train operation.
Using the term in its restricted
eense, by the end of 1905 the Santa Fe
will have more than 800 miles of dou-
BILE track in operation. Second tracks
are now being built as follows: To fin
ish the gap between Chicago and Joli-
ct; between several points in Missouri,
aggregating 40 miles; to complete the
Emporia cutoff; east, west and south
OF Newton, in Kansas. and on both
sides Of Ration Mountain, in Colorado
and New Mexico.

Where Toys are Made.

The United States spent last year
$4,O00.000 on toys-mostly dolls from
Sonneberg. Germany. alone. Little
Sonneberg sent out $13.000.000 worth
of toys last year. Great Britain used
to buy most of them. but John Bull
has been very hard up this past year.
and the United States has taken most
of EnglaISd's share. The men who
make these toys earn by ten hours
labor a day between 81 and 60 cents.
The thousands of boys and girls EN-.
ployed earn an average OF 80 cents a
day.

{ HOTBEDS OF CONSUMPTION
Penal Institutions in Many States Proved Be
Breeding Places of tuberculosis

1t is the duty of the state to protect
its citizens-even those condemned to
pass term of years in Jail. The dan
ger to the inmates Of prisons, from
pulmonary disease, has only lately
been realized. A short time since
man who had served a sentence in
the Ohio penitentiary, declared that
to send him back meant death by
tuberculosis. Inquiry was made The
head physician announced that the
building was a hotbed of consump-
tion. A prominent official stated that
ten years sentence was equivalent
to condemning a man to death-by
pulmonary tuberculosis.
Dr. S. A. Knopf, the greatest Ameri-
can authority on tuberculosis, was in
vited to visit the penitentiary. With
out hesitation he pronounced it the
most unsanitary penal institution he
Fad ever seen.
The output of many prisons is
enough to convince of the truth Of the
above statements. The sallow COM
chests of the ex-convicts, all are the
stump Vi HiuIueTOuS prison hygiene.
All the rules for combating the great
white plague are reversed. For sum
light they are given darkness; for
fresh air, damp, musty atmosphere
for out-of-door life weary indoor
grind, large part spent within the
narrow confines OF single cell.
Is it not enough to take from a fel-
low being his liberty and appropriate
the labor of his hands, without fore
ing him to live under such conditions? :?
Dare the state continue to condemn
any of its citizens to such death?
Shall the sentence in n public prison
cease at it's legal expiration, or shall
the poor victim continue to suffer
from it's dire effects until he fills a
consumptive's grave?
In this day of Anti-Tuberculosis
agitation, it would seem that public
institutions, whether asylums. schools.
prisons or assembly halls should be
the first to be brought under proper
sanitary conditions. 1t is useless,
hopeless to educate the masses in re-
gard to the cure and prevention of
tuberculosis and then maintain at
public expense hotbeds for the de-
yelopment of consumptives to be fin
ally turned loose in the community.

For a Cold.

The daily cold bath is one OF the
n ost effective safeguards against
taking cold. OF equal Importance is
abundance of fresh air in the sleep
ing apartment. Upon the first symp-
toms of "a cold" deep breathing ex-
ercises in the open air or in a well
ventilated room should be taken at
frequent intervals. In nearly all
cases where this simple treatment is
taken. there will be no further de-
yelopment of the cold, and the symp-
toms will disappear. A doctor con-
rected with a large institution for
children recently tried this method

Isaac D. Miller Tries Experiment
Which Results In Dumb Brute''
Death, and Causes His Arrest OF
Charge OF Cruelty

Isaac d. Miller pulled out the tongue
Of a horse yesterday morning and was
arrested on a charge of cruelty to
animals.
The horse was the property of
Charles Chrisman, an expressman, who
had often complained of the balky dis
position of his horse. Miller told
Chrisman that he could easily be bro
ken of the habit and offered to do the
job if the owner was willing. Miller
tied rope about the animals tongue,
and when it baked pulled the rope.
The horse pulled back, and Miller
pulled forward, and !, suddenly the
tongue loosened from its sockets and
fell out.
Miller was arrested by an officer OF
the humane society and booked on a
charge of cruelty to animals.
At the police station Miller told the
officers that he had been told that the
rope experiment was good to cure
horses of baking, but that he did not
mean to pull so hard. He said that
he was only putting a little pressure
on the rope when the horse suddenly
pulled backward with such force as to
pull out it's tongue
The animal was Immediately killed.
Miller pleaded guilty. He will be SEN
fenced by Judge Chambers this morn
ing.
