INSURANCE LICENSES.
Colorado Commissioner Reaches Out
for Amounts Uncollected.

Denver, July 26.-The state insur-
ance commissioner reports that his
investigations indicate that the insur-
ance companies operating in Colorado
have managed to evade taxation to an
amount approximating $4,000. He is
reaching out to collect unpaid license
fees that have become due during the
past six years and expects to gather
in from $4,000 to $4,000 within the
next few weeks from this source.
The law provides that insurance
companies (not the solicitors) shall
take out a yearly license for each and
every solicitor and pay the sum of 81
therefor. But all this time the COM
panies have been sending in lists of
agents each year and at the same time
receiving business from agents for
whom they have paid no license, al
though possibly these agents may have
been licensed for other companies,
which by no means fulfills the require
ments of the law.
When he began to check up, the
present commissioner found that ten
agencies were owing the state (for the
six years past for which the statute of
limitations will permit him to collect)
as follows $40, s64, STA, S126, S240,
1928, $424, s49S, $500, sS0S. There are
over 200 insurance companies doing
business in the state so it can be seen
what the outlook is for replenishing
the treasury from this source.
When Commissioner Rittenhouse be-
gan this work the agents of some of the
companies refused to permit him to ex-
anime their books, but soon discovered
that the law authorizes him to do so
Although it has been seldom enforced,
the law empowers the auditor of state,
who is ex-officio superintendent of in
surance, to administer oaths. subpoena
witnesses and punish for contempt by
fine or Imprisonment any company or
agent refusing to permit an examina-
ton of its or his books.
But, while there has been some op-
position, many agents are said to be
anxious to see the law rigidly enforced,
as 1t promises to weed out a consid-
cradle number of worthless and ire
sponsible agents.
Altogether the insurance department
has already collected S169,000 in fees,
ETC., this year and expects to bring
the sum up to 100000 before the year
closes.

CONFIDENT OF PEACE.
JAPENEsE DIPLOMATS VIEWS
Japan Will Demand an Indemnity to
Cover Cost of the War-Wants
Negotiations to Be in Eng
lish Lanuuaue.

New York, July 26.-That Japan will
demand an indemnity of Russia In the
negotiations for peace and that the
war will be declared at an end at the
conclusion of the negotiations at
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, next
month, is the belief of Baron Komura,
head of the Japanese peace delegation,
who arrived here yesterday, as voiced
by Aimar Sa.o, who is the official
spokesman fo- the baron on this mis-
sion.
Mr.. Sato, in an interview last night,
said:
Il am confident that peace will be
successfully negotiated by the ap-
pointed delegations. The Japanese will
be guided by mooeration, and no ex-
cessive demands will be made, but the
sentiment in Japan and Russia is for
peace, and in the interests of humanity
and property there must be peace.
THE cost to Japan has been very
great. On both sides the loss in men
has been $4,000, Russia losing 100000
of these. The was is costing Japan ST.
100000 a day, and there is feeling
that there ought to be an indemnity.
1.-THE Japanese are not SO gentle as
to abide by any decision we may make,
but they pay great respect to the or
fees of President Roosevelt and his
acts have done great deal to empha-
size the need of peace"
Mr.. Sato further said that the jap
anese would p& fer to have the nego-
tiations in the English language, as
neither Baron Komura nor himself
speaks French. The matter, however,
would be settled after President Roose-
welt had met the two representatives.
AS to the attitude of the Japanese mem
bers toward the Russian delegates, Mr..
Sato said:
I'VE admire M. Witte and Baron
Rosen. The announcement of NJ.
Whites appointment to the peace party
was more welcome to us than that of
any other person could have been. We
recognize him as great statesman"
Japan's attitude toward China was
most friendly, said Mr.. Sato, and while
maintaining no moral Monroe doctrine
over the empire, she felt that 1t was
more or less Under Japan's protection.
This protection, by way of illustration,
Mr.. Sato said, was mot so strong over
China as that of the United States over
South America"
Mr.. Sato emphasized the announce
ment made frequently before, that Ja-
pan does not seek territorial aggran-
dizement, and on this point the speaker
said:
I'VE want in Manchuria equal op-
portunity, or what Mr.. Hay called the
open door,"

Famous Trainer of Monkeys.

Jacob Cook, for thirty years an at
tendant in Central Park, New York
City, whose death from heat prostra-
ton has just occurred, was one Of
the best known trainers Of monkeys in
the world.
He entered the park service as a Ia
borer but it was not long before he be-
came attached to the menagerie and
finally became identified exclusively
with the monkey house. He showed
the greatest affection for his pets
there and nursed many through long
illnesses.
The trainers greatest triumphs
were achieved in the education of
Mister Crowley" and "Kittie Crow
ley" chimpanzees which were world
renowned attractions and did innu-
merable tricks.
Cook vas noted among other things
for his peculiar idea of an enjoyable
vacation. 1t was to visit graveyards
and copy inscriptions from tomb
stones. Year after year, accompanied
by his wife, he made pilgrimages to
the cemeteries, not only of New York
and the suburbs, but far into New
England, and invariably returned with
an interesting collection of epitaphs.

WHY DO AMERICANS SUCCEED,

Why do we lead all the nations ~
the earth in prosperity. happiness and
Individual contentment?
Why are we, cs people, regarded AZ
an invincible power of impregnable
strength?
And why do we compel the admirn.
ton of the whole world-at time.
grudgingly given. but given, anyhow
1t is because we are free and inde-
endent in the truest meaning of the
words.
We think for ourselves. act for our
selves. govern ourselves more than the
people of any other nation.
We are absolutely self-reliant, a ma
tional trait that renders US independ-
ent of all other nations. Independence
Is the keynote of our supremacy.
And this is the reason why up-to-l
date grocers and storekeepers appreoyrl
ate the fact that Americans of botS
sexes have strong wills of their own
and do not need interested advice.
Every up-to-date grocer knows per-
fectly well that for more than a quar-
ter of a century Lion Coffee has been
the leading package coffee and a well
come drink at the tables of millions OF
American homes.
He knows-and everybody else know,
that 1t has always kept its old
friends and rteadily made new ones.
Good. reliable. trustworthy grocers
willingly acknowledge this, and all in
dependent housekeePers will insist up-
on having Lion Coffee and no other. no
matter what kind of an argument gro-
GERS .f obstinate principles may ad-
vance.
Americans want the best, and they
get the best and purest in Lion Coffes.

Wyoming Treasurer EnjoIned.

Cheyenne, Wyo, July 27.-The State
Supreme Court has issued, on motion
of the town of Lander, permanent in
junction restraining w. G. Irvine, state
treasurer, from paying to the trustees
of the State University the annual agri-
cultural college allowance of $25,OO0.
The injunction was granted too late to
prevent the payment of the 1905 ap-
preparation, as the money already is
in the hands of the trustees, but the
town of Lander may take steps to pre-
vent the trustees from making use of
1t.
The injunction was granted on the
ground that the removal of the State
Agricultural College from Lander to
Laramie by the last Legislature was
unconstitutional, such action being pos
sible only by a two-thirds vote of the
qualified electors Of the state.

BARRIERS Sunday CLOSING.

A st. Louis criminal court Judge has
decided that "the closing of barber
shops on Sunday, the day of all days
on which the average man desires to
appear clean and well clad, would be
unreasonable, uncalled for, serving no
good purpose or end, and would be, as
a matter of fact, detrimental to the
general public morals" The Colorado
theory is that the barber has the same
right to his DAY of rest as any other
self respecting American citizen, and
having performed valuable moral as
well as physical service to the COM
munity on six days of the week, he
has, on the seventh, some rights that
the public ought to be compelled to
respect.-Pueblo ChieftaiI

CHANGED HUSBAND.
Wife Made Wise Change in Food

Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble
A woman says:
"My husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
Il thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
TO discontinue 1t. He did so, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee The
change did him good from the begin
ming, his digestion improved; he suf-
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added GrapeNuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
my friend, Mrs. -, of Vicks-
burg (my former home) had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home,
some months ago, l persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. She was In de-
spair, and consented. She stuck to 1t
until 1t restored her health so com.
pletely that she is now the most enthu-
siastic friend of Grape-Nuts that ever
knew. She eats it with cream or dry.

months old, and don't know what

petite was gone. was weak and nerv-
GUS and afforded but very little nour'
ishment for the child. The Grape-Nuts
food, of which soon grew very fond,
speedily set all this right again, and
the baby grew healthful, rosy and
beautiful as a mother could wish He
is two years old now and eats Grape
Nuts food himself. wish every tired
young mother knew of the good that
Grape-Nuts would do her,"

AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF AcETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.
Grow to Twice Actual Weight Of
Those Exposed to Sunlight Only
Latest Victory for This New and
Beautiful lIluminant.

The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas. acetylene,
are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants. and this may soon
become subject for serious consider
alton by all progressive cultivators Of
the SOIL
The results of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great Increase OF
growth attained by srppIementing
THE Light of Nature" with THE
Light of Acetylene" during the hours
In which the plants would Otherwise be
in darkness. For instance, a certain
number Of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during the night, grew
to twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight
only, all other conditions being equal,
and peas had blossomed and partially
matured pods with the help Of acety-
lene light, while without the added
light not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking its
place as an illuminant for towns from
central plant, for lighting houses,
churches. schools and isolated build
ings of all kinds. and it is being used
successfully for many other purposes.
A striking and important feature of
acetylene is the ease and small ex-
pense with which 1t can be made
available compared with the great ad-
vantages derived from its use. Tho
