WHAT COLORADO LAWMAKERS
ARE DOING AT DENVER,
Three New BANKING Bills,

Three new banking bills were intro
duced on Thursday nights session in
both Houses. The guaranty law drafted
by Attorney l.. Ward Bannister along
the lines of the Massachusetts law to
meet the wishes of the bankers, was
introduced In the Senate Jointly by
Burris, Cary and Casaday, and in the
House by Howell. The three senators
also introduced bills amending the
present banking laws to increase the
power of the bank commissioner, to
provide for cash reserves in the state
banks and to bar any officer or direc-
tor Of bank, or a corporation in which
he is interested, from borrowing from
the bank without the consent OF ma
jority of the directors and prohibiting
private bankers from borrowing at all;
also a bill to provide for the appoint
ment of a commission to codify and
suggest changes and improvements in
the banking laws and report to the next
Legislature. The same measures were
introduced in the House by Messrs.
Strickland and Walker.

CHILD HAD SIXTY BoILs,
And Suffered Annually with a Red
SeaId.Like Humor on Her Head.
Troubles Cured by cuticura.

when my little Vivian was about
six months old her head broke out in
boils. She had about sixty in all and
l used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her entirely.
Some time later humor broke out be-
hind her ears and spread up on to
her head until It was nearly half GOV.
cred. The humor looked like a scaId,
very red with a sticky, clear fluid COM
ing from 1t. This occurred every
spring. I always used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment which never failed to
heal 1t up. The last time it broke
out it BECAME SO bad that was dis
couraged. But continued the use OF
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resol-
vent until she was well and has never
been troubled in the last two years.

Proposed New Counties.

Holt county is proposed by bill In
the House by Lem Cannon of FL Paso.
II is to be carved from Elber; and Ell
Paso counties. taking half of the for
mer and n section in the northeast
part of the latter. Within the boundar.
les will be Ramah and Calhan. now In
El Paso. and several good lively burgs
of Elbert. There also appeared Mon.
day q bill that was turned down two
years ago to make North Park into q
county. This is now a part Of Larimer
county, the residents of which have
long declared their willingness for the
divorce. II 1t can be arranged on con.
ditions satisfactory to all. Heretofore
strong objections have been found to
every manner of making the division.

To Test Forestry Rights.

The bill prepared by Attorney john
T. Barnett authorizing him to test the
legality of the forestry service rules.
and the so-called encroachment Of the
federal government upon states rights
in this respect. is sweeping in its char
acter. Not only does it permit an in
vestigation and test of the forestry
service rules and laws. but also of the
federal agricultural and interior de-
partments.
o.. Perhaps the most drastic feature Of
1t is that it authorizes the attorney
general to commence and prosecute
government officials under the civil
and criminal statutes, wherever it is
foui.d that they have encroached upon
state rights or usurped them. 1t also
authorizes him to intervene on behalf
of. the state of Colorado In any casa
brought by an individual or association
against the government, or in any case
brought by the government against in
,dividuals or associations. For the pur-
pose of prosecution 100000 is appro-
priated by the bill to allow him to carry
on the work. The attorney general
did not believe that he possessed the
power to prosecute under the present
statutes, SO In order to carry out the
recommendations in Governor Shat
roth's inaugural address, he drew the
special bill.

Not Afraid Of n Ghost,

In a village in England. a month or

was a person who dared. however. and
that was the landlords daughter. a girl
OF IA. Some OF the men followed her
at a distance. and she went into the
yard and up to the ghost Tapping its
arms about, and discovered-wha.!
That It was no more nor less than. a
mans white shirt tapping on the

about the way all ghosts turn out.
