Making Preserves.
II is not generally known that boiling

Another way is to cut one side diagonally

United States by the hundreds from
Mexico. In British Columbia similar
conditions of affairs exist. The pro-
visions of the law relating to the ex-
clusion of the Japanese and substan-
tally the same as those relating to ad-
mission of Chinese laborers and
coolies, but as a matter of fact the law
is almost dead letter because the
means of its enforcement are lacking
AT the big ports the government can
keep n close watch. but on the DESC
late border lines of Mexico and British
Columbia the officials are practically
helpless. Today in Mexico there are
thousands of Japanese awaiting an op-
portunity to slip across the border.
Once here it is impossible to trace
them.
The Cinnamon. when they come to
this country, must identify themselves
by means of photographs and pass
ports. None of these restrictions are
pat on the Japanese coolies. Secretary
Strauss is trying to solve the problem
of how to keep the Japanese out and
may decide TO establish a patrol on the
Eexican border with mounted men.

which securities shall be deposited in

tion, in addition to the large tax now
imposed on life insurance premiums,
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
has made public the distribution of its
assets, at the end of the second year
of the new management. The Equit-
able now has s1O,95S, 900 invested in
Texas, which is twice as much as the
new law requires, but the manage
ment decided that to submit to the
additional taxation would be an injus-
tice to it's policyholders in other
states, which impose no such penalty
on the thrift of their citizens.
The Equitable's report shows that
more than 379o of its total reserves
are now invested in the southern and
western states, while only $3.50 of it's
total insurance is carried in these
states. Its investments are distributed

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Many Ladies' Have Poor Compilations
from Coffee.

Coffee caused dark colored blotches
drinking it for a long while and these
blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about as dark as coffee ITSELF
Il formerly had as fine a complex
ion as one could ask for.
when became convinced that cof-
fee was the cause of my trouble, 1
changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as I made it well, ac-
cording to directions. liked it very
much, and have since that time used
1t in place of coffee.
'I am thankful to say am not ner-
vous any more, as l was when 1 was
drinking coffee, and my complexion is
now as fair and good as it was years
ago. 1t is very plain that coffee caused
the trouble"
Most bad compilations are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
ard coffee is the greatest disturber of
digestion known. Almost any woman
can have fair complexion If she will
leave of coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in
proper quantity. Postum furnishes
certain elements from the natural
grains from the field that Nature uses
to rebuild the nervous system and
when that is IN good condition, one
can depend upon good complexion
as well as a good healthy body.

Worry Over Mary's Little Lamb.

Fort Collins, Whether to feed
lambs next seasop. or not is causing
nine out of ten dock owners in this
part of the state a great deal of worry
these days.
The flock masters on the Wyoming
ranges say that their crop amounts
to but so per cent. of lst year, and
similar hard luck tales comes from
New Mexico sources. This condition,
if true, means that the man who buys
lambs at $5.25 per 100 pounds will be
getting cheap stuff, and that is the
minimum just now. The hay crop IS
as good as it was last year at this
time, and the corn is reported to be
coming along nicely. The veteran
feeders are drawing the line at cents
for lambs, and say that If the flock
masters won't take that the hay will
be kept over for next season or sold
to the plungers the coming winter
This lamb-feeding business that has
made Fort Collins famous is engaged
in by some of the brightest minds in
the state, and its uncertainty makes
it most exciting one.
Just now the fiockmaster refuses to
contract his lambs for less than s525
to $3.50, because he says fully so per
cent. of his crop died during the cold
snap in May.
During the last week no less than a
dozen prominent feeders from this dis
trict left for the ranges on a still hunt
to find out for themselves the real
state of affairs. Up to date, but few
lambs have been contracted for the
Fort Collins district.

ROAD AGENTS PUT TO FLIGHT.
One Gruff-Voiced Cripple Sends Six
Bandits on Run.

Boulder, Colo-That the day of the
road agent" supposed to have passed
never to return in Colorado, has not
given entirely away to more modern
methods of plundering, became appar-
enc when six heavily-armed and
masked men held up the Boulder
Nederland stage in Boulder canon.
That they secured nothing was due to
the sudden appearance of r. e. Hug
CERT, the riding boss of the Colorado
Eastern Power Company, who, al
through crippled and small in stature,
is known as hard-handed boss in all
the section camps of the West.
Cit out of here!" exlaimed Huggert,
when he saw the passengers with their
hands up, and drawing a revolver he
charged the robbers. They turned and
fed up the rocky walls of the canon
That's h of a bunch of holsters
for a man to stick up his hands for"
remarked Huggert, eyeing several
brawny miners who had stuck"
theirs up promptly. Then he rode on
without waiting for thanks.
The holdup occurred at point in
the canon about eight miles from
Boulder, and considered as safe a
place as Sixteenth street in Denver at
noon.
The daily Nederland stage filed
with passengers on their way to
Boulder to spend their bank rolls on
the Fourth of July rounded bend in
the road at a gallop, with Driver ]. T.
Carmack on the box. Six men sprang
from the underbrush, and while four
of them caught the horses brides the

alight, did so with alacrity. Hands
up" commanded the leader, and just
then Huggert arrived, the robbers and
the victims having failed to hear the
sound of his horses hoofs in the con-
fusion.
Huggert, the rescuer, who declined
to be hero, is a cripple about five
feet eight inches tall. with a voice
calculated to inspire terror. Huggert
knows this, and uses it to good effect
in controlling the rough men whom he
handles. Huggert also carries a gun,

proper force. He was caught without

who had been awaiting just such a
change. Huggert managed to fight his
way to his tent and secured the
weapon, and then, facing the liquor
maddened crowd, said, briefly, but
forcibly, that he would shoot the first
man that disobeved orders. The
mutiny was quelled then and there
According to his friends, he does not
know what fear means. He is also a
man of few words and declined to say
anything in regard to the rescue to-
day.
The sheriff is inclined to believe
that the bandits are discharged section
hands, who had the fear of Huggert
drilled in them from past experience,
and that the sound of his voice was
more terrifying to them than any
amount of resistance by others would
have been
