Elaborate Preparations for Midsum
mer Outing at Sulphur Springs.

The date and place has been def.
nitely selected for the annual summer
meeting of the Colorado State Edito
rial Association. The date is July 22d
and 23d, and the place is Hot Sulphur
Springs. j. w. Kelley. president OF
the Denver Press Club, had commune
cation by wire with Mayor ID. z. How
ard of Hot Sulphur springs yesterday
and concluded the matter definitely.
Mr.. Kelley is chairman of the commit
tee of arrangements for the midsum-
mer meeting. Lutte Wilcox of Field
and Farm and ]. j. Barkhausen of the
Colorado Democrat are the other two
members of the committee.
1t was planned early this year to ac-
cent the invitation of General Traffic
Manager w. f. Jones of the Moffat
road to go into the new region along
the Moffat road for the midsummer
meeting. AT first it was believed the
meeting could be held as far West as
Steamboat Springs. but 1t was found
that tifty-mile stage drive was not
suited to the needs OF the meeting and
the place of meeting was changed to
Hot Sulphur Springs. The members
of the association will meet in Denver
Sunday, July 21st and will leave the
road for Hot Sulphur Springs. They
will reach that point at 2:30 in the af-
ternoon and will spend the remainder
of the day and until noon the follow
ing day there. Leaving Hot Sulphur
Springs at noon July 23d, they Will
reach Denver that evening at 6:3O.
The following telegram was received
by President Kelley of the Denver
Press Club
Hot Sulphur Springs guarantees
big trout dinner, horse racing. bucking
contests, games, sports, etc, for enter
tainment of the State Editorial Asso-
citation, and cordially invites all edi-
tors of the state to come. The more
the better. There will be free hot sui
phur baths to all delegates. We are
a hot town and will give you hot
time"
To this telegram the committee
made answer that the editors would
move en- masse on the metropolis Of
Middle park July 22d. Arrangements
will be made to care for 200 editors.
Hot Sulphur Springs is one of the
most enterprising towns in the state,
and is situated 40 miles from Denver
on the Moffat road. 1t has some OF the
most wonderful sulphur springs In the
WOTlu. hTeinLlllus anu lhe olhSi nc"
towns of the region known as Middle
park join in the celebration. A suit
able program will be prepared for the
midsummer meeting by the editors,
but his will not take more than few
hours each day. The rest of the time
will be given over to merrymaking. 1t
is believed the meeting Will be better
attended than any that has ever been
held in the state. Editors wives are
included in the invitations. Secretary
]. T. Lawless Of the State asocia-
ton will get out supplemental an
nouncement in few days. telling of
the change of program from the Routt
county trip, which filled the hearts of
the editors who regard stage rides
with such trepidation.

Couldn't Understand tho Taste Of
His Customers.

Two men were discussing the var
ious food products now being supplied
in such variety and abundance.
One, grocer, said, 81 frequently try
package or so of any certain article
before offering it to my trade, and in
that way sometimes form different
idea than my customers have.
For instance, thought would try
some Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such a call for it.
At breakfast l didn't like 1t and supper
proved the same, so l naturally con-
cluded that my taste was different
from that of the customers who bought
1t rig,.t along.
"a day or two after, waited on
lady who was buying a Csc package
and told her l couldn't understand how
one could fancy the taste of Postum.
81 know just what is the matter
she said, you put the coffee boiler on
the stove for just fifteen minutes, and
ten minutes of that time it simmered,
and perhaps five minutes it boiled;
now if you will have 1t left to boil full
fifteen minutes after it commences to
boil, you will find a delicious Java-like
beverage, rich in food value of gluten
and phosphates, SO choice that you
will never abandon it, particularly
when you see the great gain in health
Well. l took another trial and sure

good, and life seems worth living since
i have gotten rid of my old time stom-
ach and kidney troubles"
Postum is no sort of medicine. but
pure liquid food. and this, together
with a relief from coffee worked the

HOW EAGLES CATCH DUCKS.
Often Resort to Strategy to Capture
Their Favorite Food.


Their Favorite Food.
In the summer the principal food of
the white-tailed sea eagle is salmon,
varied by sea birds common along the
inlets of Greenland. In autumn, when
the salmon have ascended to the lakes
the birds resort to the sea. They ap-
pear to have special fondness for
elder duck, which are taken by STRAIT
egy.
Stationed near the water in a com.
manding position, with background
Of cliff the color of which assimilates
with that of the eagles plumage, he
sits motionless until a flock of duck
settles near him. After a time one or
two dive in search of food. but not un.
till all have gone under together does
the eagle make sign. He then
glides swiftly to the spot and circles
over it close to the water. With his
sharp eye he can detect the birds be-
fore they reach the surface.
At first he is not usually successful.
for as soon as they become aware of
the presence of the enemy they dive
again instantly, but in time they are
obliged to come up for air and then
one of them becomes an easy victim.
