Solely Question Of Law.

Denver.-State Auditor Roady Ken
chan was interested in the speech Of
President Taft last Wednesday, in
which he said governors should not
have their salaries discontinued while
they are out of the state.
Il agree with the President" said
kenehan. but the Colorado Law does
not agree with either of us. If the act
ing governor makes demand for the
governors salary. I am compelled to
pay ii.
The only interest [ have in the
matter is 20 see that not more than
$1,000 is paid out of the treasury for
governors salary. If the lieutenant
governor does not want the governors
salary during the governors absence.
| will not enter into any controversy
about it. | will pay the salary to Shat
roth. No substitute will be paid the
governors salary unless he does the
governors work"

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hands or brain Is never high
priced.
The best example Of this is found in
Quaker Scotch Oats. 1t stands at the
top among foods that supply nourish-
ment and vigor. without taxing the di.
gestion. and yet 1t is the least expen-
siye food one can eat
This great food value and low cost
make 1t an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers. factory or farm hands. fed
plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will
work better and with less fatigue than
II fed on almost any other kind of
food. All OF these facts were proved
and very interesting information
about human foods were gathered by
Professor Fisher OF Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack.
age Quaker Scotch Oats Is packed In
large size family packages either with
or without china dishes. 8

THE DIFFERENCE
Coffee Usually Means Sickness, But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in its place and in
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence of others who have made the
trial.
One who knows says: 81 drank cof-
fee for breakfast every morning until
had terrible attacks OF indigestion
producing days of discomfort and
nights of sleeplessness. / tried to give
up the use of coffee entirely, but found
1t hard to go from hot coffee to a
glass of water. Then I tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
it and have used it for several years.
improved Immediately after I left
off coffee and took on Postum and
am now entirely cured of my indiges-
ton and other troubles all of which
were due to coffee. l am now well
and contented and all because
changed from coffee to Postum.
Postum is much easier to make
right every time than coffee, for 1t is
SO even and always reliable. We
never use coffee now in our family
We use Postum, and are always WELL"

by trial.

Hated to Take the Money.

Frank |. Cobb, the chief editorial
writer oil the New York World. was
on n vacation In the Maine woods
cnce when Joseph Pulitzer. owner Of
the World, wanted to communicate
with him. Mr.. Pulitzer sent Cobb Il
cipher message.
Presently a country operator drove
In to the Cobb camp and handed Cobb
the message. which read something
like this:
"Simplicity-aggrandiZcment- - grif-

On the plea made by Il committee
of trustees from the industrial work
shop for the blind, State Auditor
Roady Kenehan agreed to advance ST.,
900 to purchase a carload of broom
corn for use in the broom manufacture
ing industry which serves as occupa-
ton for the inmates. An appropria-
ton of $4,000 was made for the car
rying of the institution through the
two years which must elapse before
another appropriation can be secured
and about 1000 of this has been used.
The plea was made that If the insti'
tuition had the broom corn it could
make enough brooms and brushes to
cover running expenses without ask
ing further help.

THE RoosEvELTIAN DOCTRINE

From "Onward, Onristian Soldieri"
The Anglo-Saxon Christians, with
Calling gun and sword,
In serried ranks are pushing on the
gospel of the Lord.
On Africs soil they press the foe
in wars terrific scenes,
And merrily the hunt goes on
throughout the Philippines.
What though the Beers are Christ
ians, the Filipinos, tool
1t is a Christian act to shoot a fell
low-creature through;
The bombs with dynamite surcharg-
ed their deadly missiles fling,
And gayly on their fatal work the
dum-dum bullets sing.
The dead and mangled bodies, the
wounded and the sick,
Are multiplied on every hand, on
every field are thick.
20 gracious Lord" the prayer goes
up, Ito us give victory swift!
The chaplains on opposing sides the
same petitions lift.
The Jesus that we reverence is not
LHe lOWly man
Who trod in poverty and rags where
Jordan's waters ran;
Our savior is an admiral upon the
quarterback,
Or else a general uniformed, an army
at Ais beck.
How natural that a change should
come in nineteen hundred
years,
And Bibles take place behind the
bullets and the beersl
We need new Messiah to lead the
latest way,
And gospel version we'll revised to
show us how to pray.
Then onward, Christian soldier!
through fields OF crimson
gore,
Behold the trade advantages beyond
the open door!
The profits on our ledgers outweigh
the heather loss;
Set thou the glorious stars and
stripes above the ancient
cross!

A Brief Summary Of Happenings in the

Washington.-A decided sensation
has been caused by the rumor, that

heavy weight champion may be per-
suaded to try conclusions with John
Johnson, the negro fighter who put
Burns down and out.
Chicago.-The reason for the
Government investigation of the
Packing industries, it is alleged, is
that evidence has been secured
showing that the large sums receiv-
ed from the railroads by the pack
| ing companies, are in reality given
| to- them as rebates. This would
bring about the same condition
which existed prior to the famous
rebate" Investigations.
Washington. American Ma
tional Red Cross Society has for
warded over 100000 for the relief
of the earthquake stricken districts
