long, with pair of stiff, overlapping
wings, each about an inch wide. When

must go to and fro self-controlled,
bereft of all the CAPABILITIES that the

there is no excuse. And of all the

its pleasant flavor, but assigns to it a

paragus, however. furnishes one Of.

in it's composition than does milk, is.
nevertheless a solid substance Thus
the head of the asparagus contains
slightly more than SO per cent of

than contained in the lettuce, but 5
per cent more than4is present in milk

particularly rich in heterogeneous sub
stances, which amount to 80 percent
of the dreid vegetable.
Among these may be reckoned a pu-
rim body, to which has been ascribed
the harmlul influence OF asparagus on
some persons with a equity tendency.
When asparagus is consumed in large.
quantities the output of uric acid is.
very distinctly increased. The same
effect is obtained after drinking CO

tons. On the contrary, it is very
digestible and is easily tolerated. even

THEY LEFT SUDDENLY.

Very few people know that the
firm of Metz Brothers. the horsemen,
whose coming to this city was prom
inently announced, have left the city
quite suddenly with their herd of fine
stations.
1t is reported that Messrs, Metz ami
their horses went to Oklahoma.
The Metz Bros. declared when they
first came to the city some weeks ago
that they expected to remain all win
ter and would make Grand Junction
an important distributing aoint for
fine horses. Evidently they changed
their minds quite suddenly and were
only here for short time endeavor-
ing to dispose of their horses at high
prices.
AS far as is known only two stall
lions were sold in this city, each, It
was claimed, bringing about $4,000
to Metz Brothers.
Whether the firm of Metz Bros is
a permanent firm in the live stock cir
cles of the country as they claimed
they were is not known.

person. that he was quitting cong

II have just learned to know you
thoroughly and appreciate your sp-
lendid qualities" said the president
In earnest tones, land cannot but
feel that Colorado sustains a great
loss in your retirement. You should
not have quit u.s.
Speaker Cannon made similar re-
marks to a small gathering of Colo
RADIO people, and from members of
both parties came cordial expressions
of friendship and admiration for the
popularity of the congressman from
the second district. Hogg is undoubt-
