"HeIpfuI Hints" That Hinder.

Many of the helpful hints" followed
by our mothers are now proved utterly
useless, If not more harmful than
helpful. For instance. no one now
uses moist tea leaves to clean carpet
or rug. because of the inevitable stain
ing. And salt used on carpet col
lects dampness and rusts the tacks.
Newspapers, dampened and torn. an
swer the purpose much more satisfac-
torily. Rugs should be shaken from
the sides. for the strain of the weight
on the end is very apt to loosen the

Denver.-To reclaim S0.640 acres in

The ditch will be 1857 feet in length

The carrying capacity per second will
be l,0l1 cubic feet. The estimated

BIG NEWHOUSE
TUNNEL PLANS
MINE OWNERS SIGN AN AGREE.
MENT FOR ITS SPEEDY
EXTENSION.
UNDER GILPIN MINES
INTO OVER THREE HUNDRED
LoDEs ON QUARTZ AND
GUNNEIl HILLS.

Central City. Colo.-Gilpin county,
the oldest gold producing section of
Colorado, where hundreds OF Colorado
men laid the fundations for their for
tunes, will have revival that will
place It once more in the forefront Of
shipping camps.
This Is made certain by the agree
ment reached Wednesday between the
Newhouse tunnel management and the
owners Of 322 mining properties on
Quartz and Gnnnell hills. by which the
Newhouse tunnel. now 1870 feet long,
will be extended through these hills
and the richest district of Gilpin coun-
ty drained of water that for years
has made mining impossible.
The agreement was signed in Denver
in the Office OF George Collins, mana
ger of the Argo Mining, Drainage Tun-
mel and Transportation Company, own
ing the Newhouse tunnel, by c. c. Par
sons of st. Louis and Boston, presi-
dent of the company, and by represen-
tatives of more than 800 properties.
Work on the Newhouse ceased a
year ago last February, the owners of
the properties on Quartz and Gunnell
hill declining to enter into negotia-
tions with the Newhouse management
for the extension of the tunnel. The
real estate men and chamber of COM
merce have been working with the
owners Of these properties to secure
the extension of the Newhouse and
final results were reached Wednesday
when the agreement was signed.
The company is to drive $50 feet
per month and will receive twenty-five
cents royalty on every ton of milling
ore mined. and 81 on every ton of
smelling ore. A commission was ap-
pointed at the meeting today to arbi-
trate all disputes that may arise be-

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When a
Baby.

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains ug-caffeine-which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before CIV
ing the babies coffee to drink.
When l was child in my mothers
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
sips of coffee. AS my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals I never
knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water.
And SO contracted the coffee habit
early. l remember when quite young,
the continual use Of coffee SO affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley. then ground it in the
cohee-mill, as a substitute for coffee.
But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard Of.
continued to use coffee until was 81.
and when l got into Office work, be-
gan to have nervous spells. Especially
after breakfast l was SO nervous l
could scarcely attend to my CORE
spondence.
AT night, after having coffee for

rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try Post
'lm. My wife and l did not like it
at first, but later when boiled good
and strong it was fine. Now we
would not give up Postum for the
best coffee we ever tasted.

The contest was between the great
parties, and in the vote Taft received
a majority of all the ballots cast, and
more votes than Roosevelt received
in 1904, and more than was ever re-
ceived by any other presidential can
5didate.
Bryan received a greater number of
votes than Parker by 1,315,212, and
64,950 more than he Bryan) polled

ever, remains the fact that the popu-

therefore, lost in popularity.
This has to do only with the popu-
lar vote of the country.

showed an inclination to break away
from the old party, by registering an
increased Republican vote, while the
Republican states in a great many in

the past, with the fact remaining, how
ever, that they are still safely Re

Referee King promptly called y q

Attells face was badly disfigured,
while the Boston fighter presented
practically an unbroken front.
The lads fought at 116 pounds. At
The end of the third round Attell had
a very slight advantage, but in the
fourth Walsh closed Attelrs eye with
successive left jabs. Walsh had the
better of the fourth round. In the
fifth round Walsh scored repeatedly
with lefts to the face and started a
thin stream OF blood from Attell's
nose. He had the best Of this round.
In the sixth round, although Walsh
landed a couple of good body punches,
Attell more than evened it up and
brought blood from Walsh's mouth.
The seventh round was the best of
the fight. Walsh started it with a
left smash to the stomach and fol-
lowed quickly with a similar blow to
the jaw. Toward the close of the
round, however, Attell staggered his
man with a straight shoot to the jaw.
Attell had the advantage at the end

Both men fought nearly even in the
ninth round. Attell scored repeatedly,
but near the end Walsh evened up
matters by landing q succession Of
rights and lefts to the face and body.

GOVERNMENT AS AN EMPLOY
MENT AGENT.

Uncle Sam has undertaken to find
employment for the idle men of the
nation. In order to do this, it is nee
essary to get in touch with all en-
ployers, in different sections, and like
wise with all classes of workmen, to
the end that the man seeking en-
ployment and the man who requires
help, may be brought into closer re:
iationship.
At the present time, a nan in n
state may require a hundred men who
live in another, or e. widely sepa-
rated sections of the country. He is.
unable to obtain assistance and the
men are in ignorance Of his wants.
Hence the workmen suffers, and
so does the employer.
Not only that, but the community
in which the factory is located does
not obtain the benefit of its steady
operation, while the sections in which
the unemployed live VI burdened
with the care Of men out Of work.
Just now 10000 postal cards are
fitting through the mails, asking
questions about help, the kind re-
quired, the amount paid, term of SER
vice and the like.
1t is all very systematic, and orderly
and out of it great good will doubtless
come, since the government will af-
lord a lei of putting capital and
labor in touch.

Senator Knox is an attorney of
great ability. He has a wonderful

acter.

him an insight to the duties required

public, which he has so ably served.
That he will occupy the position
with credit to himself and honor to

III POPULAR VOTE.

Official figures, bearing on the re-
cent election, show some surprising
things.
In the first place Hisgen, who. was
backed by unlimited money and all the
influence of the Hearst papers, plus
extended notices in both the Republi-
and Democratic press, due to the
sensational campaign inaugurated, cut
a sorry spectacle. He polled less votes
than Debs.
Debs, by the way, was considered
a joke, and that the ground was well
taken, is shown by the result. Hisgen
was taken rather more seriously, and
that the people generally were de-
ceived by the volume of the noise
made, is shown by the returns at
hand.
The vote shows that the people will
have none Of Hearstism or Of Social
ism.
In another light, the vote for the
Prohibition candidate, Eugene Chain,
was q disappointment to his followers.
He made a clean campaign, and while
he polled about treble the number of
votes that Hisgen did, he did not reach
the total hoped. The result shows
that Prohibition is a local not a ma
ttional issue. Since the election, more
votes have been cast for Prohibition
in Ohio, in which entire counties have
gone dry, than was polled in the pres
idential campaign. The Prohibition
sentiment is dangerous to the saloon
keeper only when the people make a
home issue of it, and vote to wipe out
the liquor traffic and its evils at their
own doors.
The waning strength of the Popu-
lists demonstrates conclusively how a
party which promised much, may
sink into insigniicance. This organ
ization was born in 1892, and adj
vanced in favor, due to sentiment in
favor of free coinage of silver, 1t in

tered with the same certainty. The
party organized in response to a de-
mand Of a certain element of society.
It advocated some popular measures,
but 1t fell into the hands Of dictators,
who burdened IT with impractical
ideas. The candidates who were
elected through the efforts Of the or
ganization lacked the balance, in
many cases., that the American people
