a full speed through the crowded
street.
Stops were made neither for cross

citizens have little right to part of
the street. Three coal wagons, on

Mrs. Chidester was finally overpow-

passengers on the car and taken to

the officers that she was not insane.
Mrs. Chidester got on the car at
Thirty-ninth and Halsted streets and
at once informed the motorrnan that
she was in a hurry to reach the Grand

At Forty-first street the car stopped
to allow teamster to make up his

COLORADO ASSESSORS.
Annual Meeting In Denver Asks for
State Commission.

Denver.-Fifty-thr of the fifty-nine
county assessors of the state met Tues.
day in the chamber of the House OF
Representative at the capitol. Their
assessment rolls show that there is
this year an increase in valuation of
property throughout the state of be.
tween $4,O00,0uO and $5,000,000 over
last year.
This was the annual meeting pro
vided for by statute. The purpose OF
the convention is to give the asses.
sors an opportunity to compare valua-
tions and to secure, as nearly as posi-.
BILE, uniform assessments. At the close
of the session the convention ad.
journed, subject to the call of the chair.
man, Assessor G. n. Crowder of Teller
county.
Most of the day was spent in the
reading by the assessors of their ABB
stracts. The report of the committee
of assessors submitted some time ago
was adopted as whole. The commit
tee is composed of Assessors G. N.
Crowder, C. p. Link and A. e. Howe.
1t is recommended in the report, as
adopted, that tax commission be cre-
ated, the commission to have full au-
thority to equalize the assessed values
of all property in the various counties
of the state.
The law requires that all property
shall be assessed at it's full cash value,
but it has been the custom of the State
Board of Equalization and county as.
SCISSORS to assess at from twenty to
fifty per cent. of the actual value of
property so assessed. 1t is recon-
mended that the revenue law be so
amended as to require all property
owners to list their property, whether
real or personal, at the actual value of
the same, also that they be required
to swear or affirm that they are giving
the actual market value of their prop
erty. They require all the county as
SCISSORS, as well as the State Board
of Equalization, to take one-third OF
that valuation as their basis for as.
sessment. In case any owner or agent
should wilfully or maliciously list
property less than its actual cash
value, then the State Board of Equali-
cation, or county assessor, shall be re-
quired to place its full cash value
upon the same as the assessment. talk

County Commissioners to make any

agent to have recourse to the courts

Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and

A Mass. physician has found cure

Nuts, as cure for constipation in
children. Having tried it in my own
family, 1 have advised it in fifteen
cases in which all suffered with con-
stipation more or less severe. The re-
suit has been absolute relief in all.
Il write this that other children
may be benefited"
How much better it is thus to bring
about healthy action in the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-.
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural con-
traction and relaxation of the bowel
muscles, that propel the food mass
along.

Children's teeth are benefited by
chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent

of exercise in chewing firm food, is

Teeth need exercise just the same

also gives material from which good
