NOTHING IS SOLD BELOW COST

A few years ago when that great
fraternal order, the Woodmen of the
World was new and enjoying a wonder
full degree of popularity which it truly
deserved to do the strong claim of its
members and advocates was the cheap
ness at which it furnished insurance
and it was regarded as an insult if
anyone but dared to suggest that there
might come time when the organiza-
tion would find itself unable to main
tain these low rates.
The fraternal side of this splendid
order blinded many to that very i'm
portant fact, viz: that life insurance
has a certain fixed cost Taken the
country over it is worth certain price
to carry the insurance of man at a
certain age and the company which
undertakes to do it for less must oper-
ate at loss and sooner or later must
either go out of business or increase it's
rates.
This is straight business PROPOSE
tion and one which should be looked
upon as other business propositions and
yet when the writer few years ago
stated that the Woodmen rates were
below cost and must be raised if this
was to be good insurance he was frown-
ed upon and told that he was knocker
against the order.
And yet year or two after this
prediction Head Consul Falkenburg
stated in session of the National
Fraternal congress that the Woodmen
rates were too low and that some ac-
tion must be taken as relief meas
ure-
I'm another year, the Woodmen adopt
ed the equalization tax now in exist
ence, but this has proved insufficient
to provide for the rapidly increasing
age limit and it has for some time been
known to many that the present rev
enues are inadequate to meet the death
loss.
Head Consul Book has requeste ed In
surance Commissioner Rittenhouse to
investigate the matter and submit a re-
port which will be presented to the
head camp which is soon to meet in
Seattle.
Of course some sort of adjustment of
the matter will be made which will
protect all policy holders but it must
be done by some sort of equalization or
readjustment Of the rates as it is not
good Judgment. neither is it right to ex-
pect anything for less than cost.

MISS ARTA CROOK
RECEIVES HIGH HONOR

DR.. and Mrs. w. w. Crook are
has this week came to their daughter,
Miss Arta, by her admission without
examination, to Leland Stanford uni
versity of California.
The young lady is n graduate of the
Glenwood high school, having by close
application finished the four years
course here in three years.
The high standard of Leland Stan
ford university is well known but it
is not generally known that this in
stitution sets law limit on the num-
Der of lady students which it admits
These two features, combined with
the fact that Miss Crook was admit
ted only after careful inquiry made
of her high school principal and super
intendent makes the honor all the
more pleasing.
Miss Arta was recently awarded q
scholarship in the University of Den
yer but will decline this and enter
the California school.
BY this action the trustees of Stan
ford have placed the Glenwood higl
school on their accredited list and thi
it is understood is an honor now en-
.joyed by only three other schools il
Colorado.
Mrs. Crook and her daughters will
leave August for Palo Alto, Califor
mia, the seat of the institution ant
will remain until the close of the mex
college term.

IF SOME of the pessimlsts who can
see nothing good in this country could
only be transported to some of the
foreign lands what lesson it would
be to them. A little experience now
in the country from which they emf
grated but few years ago would be
valuable lesson to some of the for
eigners who can see nothing but evil
in America and her customs. The
same principle applied in local way
might not be lacking in good results.
Glenwood has such delightful eli
mate and such beautiful surroundings
that a residence here is grand eOmpar-
ed with what it might be. in many
other places. And yet We are so ac-
customed to fault-fnding and so prone
to think some one else 8 lot is better
and easier than ouE own that we lose
sight of our OWN blessed opportunities
and easily prove the truth of the
rather common saying that most peo-
pie do not know when they ate well

GRAND MASTER LAMONT
VISITS GLENWOOD l. o. o. F.

Glenwood Lodge No. 6s, 1. o. o. F.,
was on Monday evening treated to an
official visit from the grand master of
the state, DR.. NJ. A. Lamont of Denver.
After being formally received by the
lodge, DIR. Lamont exemplified the un-
written work of the order in splendid
fashion and then made a most pleasing
address to the lodge. Among other
things the grand master said:
"Odd Fellowship has passed the ex-
perimental stage. 1t is now and long
has been a grand institution-a grand
reality. One of it's chief emblems or
principles is truth. Truth ennobles the
life of any man. Show me man who
has a record for truth and l will show
you Il man who is loved by his friends
and respected by his enemies, if he has
any.
"You may have been told and l
have heard it said that the fraternal
| features of this organization were its
chief attractions. We have heard many
beautiful and pathetic stories about the
fraternal side of Odd Fellowship, but
want to remind you that there is also a
business side which you cannot afford
to overlook. Some of you may not
place much stress npon the business
side of the order hut just neglect OF
forget to pay your dues for six month'
and you will soon find that there is also
a business side to Odd Fellowship
Then the grand master recited many
| of the benefits and beauties of the
great order of which he is the head il
Colorado. He reports the order in
good healthy condition in the state anc
says it is growing and keeping pace
with the onward march of our grea
state.
During his incumhency in office DIR
Lamont has visited about rs lodges, ha
instituted four new ones, restored tn
charter to one and resuscitated one

bership this year

THE VOLUNTARY announcement
that the Burlington road will inaugu-
rate a two-cent rate whether the other
roads do so or not is good news to those
who travel Of course railroad com
panies are just like other business or

BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Gives Advice and Tells of Simple
Home Mixture.

At this time of year, says a we'll
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions. but the worst
forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth anyone's time now to get
from some good prescription pharmacy
the following ingredients: Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix
by shaking well in a bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after your meals
and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood. and expel this in the
urine, at the same time restoring the
full blood count"-that is, 95 per cent
red blood corpuscles-which is abso-
lutely Indispensable to perfect health.

GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago a farmer put his ini-
tials on dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it to mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of'the homes of the COM
munity. He sent it entirely out of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his nelghbors.
Patronize your local merchant who
helps- you to pay your taxes. support
your schools and churches, and lends
a helping hand in times of sickness
and trouble.

AGE TOLD BY THE PULSE.
From Birth to Death the Beats Have
Steady Decrease.

How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has wide range.
even in perfectly healthy persons.
The female pulse always beats fast
er than the male, and from birth to
death the pulse beats steadily de-
crease. 1t has been said by great
authorities that the age and sex OF
person could be ascertained by the
rate of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have a pulse beat of 160 times
a minute in case Of girl and $50 in
the case of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats will have fall
en- respectively to 110 and 100 Maid
ems and youths pulses average 95
and 80 Mature men and women av-
erage so and rs. Elderly men and
women have an average of 60 and so.
An old woman's pulse rarely, If ever,
sinks below so. but among men a
pulse beat below so is quite common
There are, however, great variations
consistent with health. Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only A

The Evolution OF
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly thraugh almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
nonite origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value In the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe In
DR.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.

APPENDICITIS.
Not at All Necessary to Operate in
Many Cases.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare
some people before they are hit.
Appendicitis is often caused by too
much starch in the bowels. Starch is
hard to digest and clogs up the diges-
tive machinery-also tends to form
cakes in the cecum. (That's the blind
pouch at entrance to the appendix.)
A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but
lived on milk for awhile-then Grape
Nuts and got well without an opera
tion.
She says: Five years ago while at
school, suffered terribly with consti-
patton and Indigestion" (Too much
starch, white bread. potatoes, etc.,
which she did not digest)
"Soon after left school had an at
tack of appendicitis and for thirteen
weeks lived on milk and water. When
/ recovered enough to eat solid food
there was nothing that would agree
with me, until friend recommended
Grape-Nuts.
when I began to eat Grape-Nuts
weighed SO lbs, but soon grew to lis
lbs. The distress after eating left me
entirely and now / am like a new per-
son."
"a little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot
water or milk would have been much
better for this case than milk alone.
for the starchy part of the wheat and
barley is changed into a form of di-
gestable sugar in making Grape-Nuts.)
