BRANCH cRAYFlsAEs

To the Public:
The Democrat takes pleasure In
saying to its readers in this public
manner that it has reached the CON-
clusion that, during the late munich
pal campaign, many serious reflec-
tions upon the integrity and char
acter of S. Fl. Clammer unfortu-
nately found their way into the
columns of this paper.
In the heat of the contest we be-
lieve that rumors and improvident
charges were given wide publicity,
but, since the election, Investigation
has satisfied US that Mr.. Clammer
was unjustly accused. We desire to
disclaim any purpose or intention to
iDjure, harass or defame Mr.. Clam
mer, and have reached the copclu.
sion, upon mature reflection and In
vesuigation, that this paper did not
deal justly with Mr.. Clammer in the
campaign just referred to, and we
desire our readers to consider as un-
said all that we printed and pub
lished of him, whether 'editorially
or otherwise, and trust that Mr..
Clammer will accept this public
statement as our apology in good
faith for having injured him in apy
way.
We believe that Mr.. Clammer,
during his last administration, made
most efficient mayor, and hat he
will give the people Of Fort Collins
another administration equally as
good. Will our exchanges p1ease
copy.

WILL HE DIGEST lT7

The Union Pacific railroad COM
pany has sold 800, 900 acres Of land
in Weld county during the last six
wears, and now has only fifteen acres
of land listed for taxation. Five or
six years ago railroad land could be
bought here for anywhere from sl.25
to 81 an acre and the wise ones who
bought plentifully at that time have
made fine thing of 1T financially.
The same land cannot be bought now
for less than IS or Sc an acre In Its
raw state and much of it has been
reclaimed by bringing water to it.
Even the land that has practically
no hope Of irrigation water has been
run up in price when as matter Of
fact it is worth no more actual
value today than it was six years
ago. Shrewd advertising and the
working of the drv farming excite.
ment to the limit brought about the
result. From this time on we will
hear much less about dry farming,
by tie alleged experts that were
giving interviews and speaking at dry
farming conventions, and much more
from those who bought the land.
Well, the cat has sure swallowed
the canary and it now remains to be
seen il the land buyer will be able
to digest his holdings with the same
degree of satisfaction as did the
proyerbial feline.

ESTIMATING POPULATION.

The population of Weld county is
just 30, 800, according to figures COM
piled by L. II. Harrison, county sup
erintendent of schools. Mr.. Harri-
son bases his estimate on the school
census, figuring three and one.half
inhabitants to every person Of
school age in the county. This
figure, according to Mr.. Harrison, is
an accurate and safe basis for esti.
mating population and we agree with
him. In fact..the only possible dan.
ger there might be in the use of this
figure would be In case the half num-
bers should not come out in evens.

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.

DR.. Thomas Bassett Reyes, in
Medical Brief, holds that con-
sumption is primarily a disease of,
malnutrition and that the cure
for it is to induce the patient to
eat plenty of fats. Outdoor exer-
else is chiefly valuable in giving
the patient appetite. "People, "
he says, "who have consumption
do not eat fats, oils and cream in
sufficient quantities. The first
requisite in an attempt to cure tu-
berculosis has been for many
years, and particularly of late
years, to feed the patient on vari-
GUS oils, and the most successful
sanitariums have adopted pro-
cess of food forcing, using the fats
of meats, butter and cream as the
principal foods to be relied upon
to effect a cure, each article of
diet being selected for it's fat-pro-
ducing and strengthening prop
critics"
DR.. Reyes says it is impossible
to get the average patient to eat
enough fats, and a person who
eats plenty of fats never has con-
sumption. Further, he says:
"A person who has consumption
is the one who leaves the fat from
his meat, eats very little butter,
very little of cream and milk. He
does not and has not lived upon a
proper nourishlng diet. When a
patient is far advanced in the dis
ease he is unable on account of
this loss of appetite and nausea to
eat sufficient food to maintain nu-
triton, and, therefore, gradually
! declines as the disease advances.

THREE-YEAR-OLD BOY READS THE
NEWSPAPEBS.

St. Francisville, Ill, Feb. 25 -
Charles Buchanan, who Is three
years old is prodigy. He is a
son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. D. Buch-
anan, of this place. His mother
was school teacher in Vincennes
before her marriage.
When only ten months old he
listened inGeutly to conversations
between adults. A month later,
When he heard persons talking he
interrupted them with such inter
rogations as "Why?" "Who?"
,'What?" and "When?" Soon
afterward he knew the alphabet
perfectly.
At the age of eighteen months
he had read and memorized the
Third and Second Readers used in
the Illinois schools. He now reads
the newspapers, and with the aid
of dictionary is able to under
stand all the words he sees.
He weighs thirty-two pounds,
reads everything with avidity,
and the daily newspapers to his
mother regularly at breakfast.

AS TO EQUALITY.

It is taught that all men are
equal before the law, but the
astute observer understands that
while the poor ordinarily receive
Justice, the rich, ill one way or
another, are too often able to buy
mercy. The religious journals,
which wisely preach contentment,
are apt to take the accepted view
of theoretical equality, but tho
New York Christian Advocate
speaks very plainly on this SUBJ
ject, as follows:
sit is said that in cur country
the poor and the rich are the same
before the law. So they are in
theory. Perhaps it may be said
that so they are, without adding
Gin theory" But consider what
money will do. Money will hire
experts of the most expensive
type. Money can employ the most
detectives; money will
make it possible to scour the whole
country for evidence, true or false,
for the defendant, or for the
plaintiff, when the plaintiff is a
scoundrel and trying to ruin some
one or unjustly to secure a d.
vorce. Money can employ not
only one lawyer, but half a score,
and bring the hypnotizer Of juries
across a continent. Money can
cause articles by the thousand to
be published through the whole
country and work up a tremen-
ious sentiment.

A Philadelphia paper says the
Pennsylvania Railroad is going to
abandon the use of steel crossties.
Steel ties had been laid at Mineral
Point, where the terrible accident
occurred last week. "It is known. -
says the paper, "that the reason
the steel ties were placed on the
curve where the wreck occurred
was because the test there would
be severe one, and now that the
steel ties failed to stand the test
they are to be, for a time at least,
abandoned" That is cheerful in
formation for passengers that
railroads place untried materials
at curves where the strain on them
will be severe and then run their
passenger trains around the curves
at high speed. If the new mate
rial stands the strain, we'll and
good; but if it doesn't and a train
is wrecked, then the material is
abandoned, fer a time at least .

says: Senator Bacon says the
ratification of the Santo Domingo
treaty means annexation, which
would eventually be extended to

DIR POTATO CROP.

The potato crop of the United
States is worth little to the rise
of $150,OO0,000, and is growing
year by year. A writer on the sub
ject says that the progress of food
production in modern times is
shown in no way more clearly than
in the use which European and
American people have made Of
the potato. The three great classes
of food for western people are &C.
reals, root crops and meats. The
potato belongs to the second of
these. Only in recent centuries
has it become incorporated into
the farming systems of Europe.
The people who develop this
crop most fully are the Germans.
According to recent figures it is
shown that Germany has a larger
percentage of land under potato
cultivation than any other nation
in Europe. There are 64.3 acres
to every 10000 inhabitants.
against AS in Austria and 1914
in France. There has been a great
tendency to increase this crop as
its uses have enlarged. The chief
use for manufacturing is distill-
ing. There are $4,000 distilleries
i'll operation in the German en-
pire, 1000 of which represent the
chief activity of the farms on
which they are located and 1000
distilleries play q secondary role.
