Mr.. Howell. In the House, presented
the following resolution, the occasion
for which is President Taft's recent
message to Congress advising n ma
tional tax on inheritances'
Whereas. the several states are
now taxing inhcritances with marked
success and need all the revenue that
can properly be drawn from this
source: and
Whereas. the federal government
readily raises additional revenue when
required from other sources: there
fore. be II
Resolved, by the General Assembly
OF the State OF Colorado:
"First-That the taxation Of inheri.
tances should be reserved to the sew
eral states rs a source of revenue for
their exclusive use and benefit.
'Second-That the General Assem-
bly, of the state of Colorado hereby re-
spectfully request and urge the sena-
tors and rcprt sentativcs of the state

Congress, declaring it to be the policy
OF the federal government to refrain

Cost of Senatorial Contest.

The Beshoar-Barela senatorial con-
test will cost Colorado $4,950.5O. The

aday and Stephen. The bills pre-
sented TO the finance committee for
attorneys and Witnesses fees, railroad
fare. stenographers' charges and other
incidentals aggregated $12,972.50. The
subcommittee pared sS,O22 off Of
these charges.
The bills for attorneys fees agere-
gated more than $4,000, including an
expense account submitted by A. p.

attorneys bills were cut to $4,000. di-
vided equally between the two sides.

Only at the last. as she stood in the

Thus she passed out of our lives,
and we settled down again, a little
graver, perhaps, and little less apt
to treat every subject as a joke. Eliz-

sumed by poor Mrs. Graham. One

no surprise, but quietly did all in her

garding him. she covered his past with
mantle of silence, in effect some
what resembling the soft powdering OF

Would Solve Salary Problem.

committee OF the House in asking At.
torney General Barnet; a question.
This is whether the present Lesisla-
ture may not provide for paying the
salaries of state house officers during
the first four months OF the next
biennial period. Each Legislature
that meets finds that salaries stopped
the previous November 30th. that be.
ing the end OF the fiscal year. making

tence into his prayer. and forthwith
proceeded to translate 1t. Another min.
lister in his early days experienced con-
siderable difficulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies a quar-.
ter OF an hour. but long before this Pc

do not wish to speak about the
week which followed. Even now 1 do
not like to think about 1t, although
its long days are indelibly photo
graphed upon my mind, ! can see Mrs.
Graham walking around with her
stony calmness, directing everything,
and receiving all efforts at sympathy
with the same impenetrable air of re-
serve and the same proud dignity
which forbade pity and discouraged in
timacy.
We did what we could. which was
ristressingly little, and we also suf-
fered not a few pangs of remorse at
having presumed to judge her. For
we realized this woman had suffered
much and in silence; that she had
loved deeply and been sorely
wounded: and had endured the unen-
durable with loyalty and patience
worthy the admiration We felt and
would have liked to express had she
permitted us to do so.
We realized also that we had known
her only when exhausted nature had
rebelled at the strain imposed upon
it. when her vitality had little by lit
tie been sapped away and the long
continued tension of her nerves was
about to snap at this last turning Of
the screw. We remembered the many
hours she had spent alone In the bleak
little house. and thought of the things
we might have done with the keen re-
gret that comes when the opportunity
is gone and 1t is too late.
So we were obliged to stand sorrow
fully aloof and watch her prepare for
her last journey with Harry Graham.
We could only hope that after a while
the bitterness of grief might pass

Advice Of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nec-

posed to require meat two or three
times day. Science has found out
differently.
1t is now q common thing for fam,
fly physician to order less meat, as In
the following letter from q N. Y. man
Il had suffered for years with dy4
pepsia and nervousness. My physiciaA
advised me to eat less meat and,
greasy foods generally. I tried several
things to take the place Of my usual
breakfast Of chops. fried potatoes. etc,
but got no relief until tried Grape
Nuts food.
After using Grape-Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two years,
I am now a well man. Grape-Nuts
benefited my health far more than the
$500.e0 worth of medicine had taken
before.
MY wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years. and we
are a very happy family. largely due to
Grape-Nuts.
I'VE have been SO much benefited
