The Enterprise is informed tha. some
Of our citizens who have filed on home
steads were registered on Tuesday with
a view to voting at the April election.
This is dangerous proceedings. When
a homesteader yotesinthe election district
outside where his homestead is located he
abandons his homestead rights. Desir.
able homesteads are not plentiful now.
and the April election may make an
opening for several citizens to secure
good claims. Keep your eye on the
homesteaders and If they vote make ap-
peation at once to the land office to file
on their abandoned claims.

We hear it said by those who handle
truth with great reoklessness that prohi.
b:ion in Rocky Ford has been failure
for the past two years. The splendid en-
toroment of the liquor ordinances has
won the praise Of leyel-headed business
men who two years ago voted for
license. Had there been less rigid en-
forcemeut there would have been less
eRing from the fellows who say failure
but are working hard to get whiskey
with yet less difficulty.

THE GUARDIAN OF OUR BODY,

The foremost biologist of our dsy.
M Metschnikoh, has shown the world
OF science that there are leucocytes in our
blood that act as scavengers or policemen.
These policemen which are called phags,
flffS look out ioi the noNious or poisonous
elements in our blood. Various offending
elements arc picked out of the blood and
tissues by these policemen and DESTROYED
Therefore ouf lives are protected by
these blood cell-policemeu, the bhaPoepkci
and we enjoy immunity from disease so
long as our blood contains plenty of phago-
cytes and red blood corpuselcs
A new broom sweeps clean and in
order 10 put Our own house in order we
must get rid of all the poisons in the blood
with new broom such as an Alternative
extract made from roots and herbs--with
out the use OF alcohol, as DR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, specific for
making rich red blood-for eradicatiny the
poisons from the blood In some way the
policemen in the blood are increased in
number ana strength-so that we are put
IN the best possible shape TO resist disease
Ito cure neuralgia, colds, catarrh, and in
cipient consumption
The more study and time is given to the
subject the more we find that the blood IL
the center of life saws DIR. r. V. Pierce
the noted specialist of Buffalo, "the health
and comfort OF the average person depends
entirely on this blood supply--for the heart
must have pure blood or il will not pump
and keep the body supplied regularly like
the beautiful automatic engine IL is The
nerves must be fed on pure blood--or we
suffer the pain OF neuralgia, which is the
cry of the starved nerves for food Head

A SANE SUGGESTION.

The suggestion that a public exam
iuer be provided by the next legisla
ture for state banks, loan and trust
companies ard also for all public Of
fees is directly along Rooseveltian
lines. The object is to make state
banks and trust companies safe. to
guard the public against wildcat f.
nanciering and also improve systema
tlze and supervise the public service
in every city and county. Is there
anything radical, impractical or fool
sh about this suggestion? It sounds
sensible to tine average man and the
Republican party will make no mis-
take In taking up this issue.

PANTRY AND FINE

The Wage Garner thinks the Colo

mistake by cutting out pantry and
fine art exhibits The Herald takes
issue with the Wage Garner on this
proposition. To the ordinary observer
1t looks like the same few women get
the prizes over and over. Too much
of the material which takes up space
In the nall of fine arts is uninteresting
to anybody, and too few people arc
interested In the best of It. Cray
quilts had their day forty years ago
and sofa pillows nave been worked 10
the limit Painting and decorating IS
always was and always will be fine
art, but in town of this size, where
there are only two or three artists
the competition is confined to a circle
TOO limited to interest the public and
at the same time art is not noticeably
encouraged.
Many of the bedspreads. pillow
shams centerpieces and thousand and

piciously like the same old articles
that have been on exhibition every
year since the fair started. The mon
