How TO Relieve Choking.

Raising the left arm as high as
you can will relieve choking much
more rapidly than by being thumped
in the back. Very frequently at
meal time, and when they are at
play, children get choked while eat
ing. and the customary manner Of
relieving them is to slap them sharp
~ in the back. The effect of this Is
to set the obstruction free. so that
i. can be swallowed. The same thing
can be brought about by raising the
left hand of the child as high as
possible and the relief comes much
more rapidly.

Sixty Millions For Improvement

Rumor states that Of the $50
million dollars in bonds sold by
the Denver q Rio Grande railroad
sixty million dollars would be ex-
pended in Colorado. The best part
of it is that large sum is to be
spent in the construction of line
from Aspen over the range to Tay-
lor park by the way of Ashcroft.
This will open up n new mining
territory, give an outlet to the big
iron mountain mine near Ashcroft,
known as iron mountain, aad will
mean a return of prosperity to this
section of the country.
The officials of the Rio Grarle
clearly outlined the purposes of
the bond issue and how the money
would be spent. 1t was made clear
that the extension from Aspen to
Taylor park to junction near AL
mont is to be made. The distance

is about sixty miles and there are

claims along the route and in the

would so greatly stimulate the min

state as this extension into a new
