MEDICAL DIRECTORS Of
WOODMEN MAKE REPORT

The report OF the supreme medical
directors of the Modern Woodmen of
America, recently issued for presenta-
tion to the triennial convention Of the
head camp Of the order, which assem-
bled at Peoria, ILL.,, on Tuesday. 10 q
notable document in many respects.
The report covers period OF three
years, quite long one. A few fig-
ures CLEANED from its pages can hard
ly fail to be of interest to the readers
of The Daily Record, especially to the
members of the local organization.
The number Of deaths during the
years 1905, 1906 and 1907 was, of
course, greater than during the years
1903 and 1904, not only because the
deaths embraced three years instead
of two, as In the other terms consid-
cred, but also because the member
ship was larger, there having been
added to the society by adoption dur
ing the triennia1 period 355,601 new
members, and also because there were
in the society during 1905. 64,S21; in
1906. 1889; and in 1907. 102.718
members who we're past nifty years OF
age, and therefore at a period OF life
when the chances OF dying are much
greater than at the earlier ages. OF
the 1854 deaths which occurred dur
ing the years 1905. 1906. and 1907.
4,041 had a duration of membership
of five years or less. Still another
interesting feature of the report Of
the supreme medical directors is that
having reference to the great white
plague, tuberculosis. Much has been
written and much has been said As
to the number of deaths occurring
each year as a result OF this disease.
While it is true that tuberculosis
causes more deaths in the Modern
woodmen than any other disease or
agency. yet the report shows there
has been an appreciable less number
of short term deaths per year on the
average. OF the triennial over the bi-
ennial term. Still another feature OF
the report Is that showing that the
largest number OF deaths, aside from
consumption. resulted from accidents
from one cause or another.

FORMER RESIDENTS OF CANON
CITY INJURED IN DENVER

D. T. Allen and daughter, Miss Jane
S. Allen, who were reported in the
Associated Press dispatches from
Denver on Tuesday as having been in
jured by automobiles at fremont and
Fifteenth streets in that city, were
former residents here and are well
known to many Canon people. Mr..
Allen was for several years proprie-
tor of the Central hotel at 314 Main
street and came to this city from La
Sale, Ill. A remarkable thing in con-
nection with the injuries alluded to
is the fact that while both Mr.. Allen
and his daughter were hurt at the
same street crossing their wounds
were inflicted by different machines,
a half hour or more intervening be-
tween the two accidents. Mr.. Aliens
injuries are regarded as of a most
critical character. Miss Aliens con-
dition is not believed to be serious.

was the most beautiful highway in the
world. Certainly" said he. Il have
never seen anything half SO magnifl-

things who think the Royal Gorge
road is in some respects more attrac-
tice than the Skyline drive, which
is indeed high praise. We know OF
no place anywhere outside OF Canon
City where the business man can leave
his office and in fifteen minutes drive
into the heart Of the mountains, as he
can by going up the new scenic road
way into the Royal Gorge. Those Of
our people who have not made trip
over the new road should do so at
once and familiarize themselves with
Its peerless beauty.

ROSE PASTOR DIDN'T
WANT TO MEET STOKES

Rose Pastor-Stokes, whose marriage
is the romance OF the century. first
met her husband while on news
paper assignment. She was at that
time reluctant to interview the man.
She rang the bell of the settlement
house and asked for Mr.. Stokes.
What is your buslness?" demanded
the functionary at the door.
In a hopeless voice Miss Pastor told
her errand. The functionary permit
ted her to wait in the hall and mo-
ment later returned. Beside him
walked a tall, slender young man with
keen, pleasant features and kind eyes.
says the New Idea Woman's Magazine
for June.
Miss Pastor" he said, extending a
welcoming hand. He opened the door
of the reception room. drew back and
bowed as she entered. A faint wave
of rose swept into the thin cheeks that
had been sallow moment before.
What lovely facet" he said to
himself; then he began to answer
questions.
Why had he come to the East Side
he whose native habitat, and that of
his forebears for generations, had
been Fifth avenue? Why had he CIV
en- up cotilllons for district visiting?
Why clubs for classes in ethical cul-
ture? Why? Why? Why? The ques-
tions were put in so soft a voice, with
a cadence so fascinating. that Mr..
Stokes enjoyed answering them.
Thereafter It was surprising how Of
ten there was need OF Mr.. Stokes Wis
itlng the editor OF the East Side paper
to ask cooperation In his work.
1t came about quite naturally that
he fell into the habit OF calling at the
neat but poor little fiat In the Bronx
on Sunday afternoons. Sometimes he
invited Miss Pastor to stroll with him
in the sunset for a view OF the Pali-
sades. On one of these saunterings
he told her he loved her, and begged
her to become his wife.
All OF Mr.. Stokes family, having
met the soft hammered, gentle voiced
tgiri. forgot their preindices, eliminat-
cd all thoughts Of social caste. Thsy
were married in the fne old Stokes
mansion at Dsoro1aa, -Coan., and de-
parted for their sixl rsonGA4 nnp4iAl

hand and enough pots to cover an
acre of land and the demonstration
will be made as complete as possible.
1t is earnestly desired that as many
orchardists as possible be present to
see these tests made, so that they may
act intelligsntly on the suggestions
thatwill be made by the committee
later on.
The oil pot used at Grand Junction
will be demonstrated ON Q large scale
and the pot burning coal will also be
shown In operation. Z
This demonstration is Of such valus

deed, it is thought that the company
will be ready to take up the duties
which will devolve upon it before the
close OF next week. An engineering
corps to make the necessary surveys
will. 1t Is said, be put into the field
at once, and the belief is expressed
that ground will be broken prelimin-
ary to the building of the road within
a month or six weeks. THE thing for

METHODS OF INDUCING FRUIT
BEARING.

1t isn't often that the Colorado fruit
grower is concerned about his fruit
trees not setting fruit, as the general
tendency of most varieties is to over
bear. There are some varieties, how
ever, that are slow in coming into
bearing, and individual trees or STAN
dard varieties sometimes fail to set
fruit.
Horticulturists have for many years
practiced various methods to induce
fruitfulness and with some degree Of
success. All these methods, as girdling
the trunk. root pruning, and summer
pruning of the branches temporarily
check the growth of the trees, and the
consequent slow growth induces the
formation of fruit buds. 1t is we'll
known that the buds which produce
fruit in any particular season were
formed the season before and their
formation is believed to begin early in
the growing season. This being true,
the time is now at hand for such work,
if put off much later in the season, it
will be too late, as the time for the
formation of fruit buds for next years
crop will soon be passed.
By root pruning is meant that a
small portion of the roots are cut off,
and the operation may be performed
with a spade or in any way which is
best suited to individual needs.
Summer pruning takes the place of
the annual winter pruning, and Is the
is done in June instead of winter or
early spring.
Girdling or ringing consits in re-
moving a ring or bark from the trunk
or larger limbs. This ring is Some
times two inches or more in width; alf
the bark within this space is removed.
thus exposing the wood. This method
of checking growth, though often en-
ployed. is rather drastic, and should
be used with caution. A more ra-
tional method Ia to girdle the branch
or trunk by cutting through to the
wood or making one continuous cut
and not removing any Of the bark.
! Some authorities state that the pro-
per time to check the growth of a
tree in order to induce the formation
OF fruit buds Is at the time when the
bark begins to set on the new growth.
AS this Is rather delicate feature
to determine the average person will
make no mistake II he does this work
any time In the fore. Hart of June.

QUEER TEACHING.
A Glimpse ct tao One Tine Methodo

A Glimpse ct tho One Tine Methods
 In Scotch Schools.
 To the work of supervisor of schools in Scotland Mir .Tohu Kerr devoted a number of years. ln his book, "other Memories, old and New" he has set down some amusing illustrations of the unlntelligent way In which the school work was sometimes conducted.
 The revised code of education which was introduced in 1862 made provision for nothing but reading, writing and arithmetic in their barest forms. There was no suggestion about grammar, ge- osraphy, history or intelligence in any study. Explanation of the reading les son was not demanded, and therefore 1t was neglected in some of the schools. The following Is an example:
 The lesson was one giving an ac- count of clever dog which had res cued child from drowning, It was said that the dog was caressed by the parents of the child. asked what was the meaning Of the word "caressed," and the answer came at once, Made of fond led"
 On referring 10 the list of words at the top of the page found the ex- planation given was. made of, fOn- dled."
 Wishing to find out if any child in the class had got a glimmerlng of the meaning, went from top to bottom and got from every child nothing but made of fond led" pronounced as four words, to which they attached no mean ing whatever,
 The teacher was surprised that was not satisfied with the intelligence of the teaching.

For a great many years doctors pro. nounced 1t local disease aud pre-. scribed local remedie., and by constant ly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

GUIDEP0STS IN FRANCE.
A Striking Feature of the Roads
 Throughout the Country.

Throughout the Country.
 A feature of the roads of France Is the ever present guIdepost. These guide posts consist of an Iron plaque about two feet long and a foot high securely mounted on sturdy posts or fastened 10 some substantial wall. They are painted in white and blue and show without any possibility of mistake not only the commune or township in which they stand, but the next impor- tant place In either direction as well as the distances between all the chief points upon that route. Thus you will fnd if you are travelling on road which leads to Paris that the name of the metropolis wlll appear on the sign board, although lt may be several hun dred kIlometers distant
 In addition to these guldeposts the Touring Club of France has put on the chief roads a series of signs and symbols to indicate to motorists and blcycllsts what sort of a road they are approaching. The sign "rslentIr," which translated Into good United States means to 'let up," has caused many a motorist who Is unfan.uhr with the road he Is travellng to slow down and to find shortly after the sign had been passed that It was well that be paid at- tentiOn to 1t because of steep grade or some abrupt turn. There Is no eI- cuse. in view of the symbols and sign boards. for any one motoring In France to get on the wrong road or to come unexpectedly Into trouble.-Frauk Pres brey in Outing Magazine.
