DEVICES OF THE BODY.
The Cough, Sneeze and Sigh Are
Measures of Self Protection.


One Of the most interesting facts
about the human body is its power
of self preservation-its power of
evading or overcoming the thou
sand and one conditions which, un-
less corrected, would be injurious
or destructive.
Among the most common of
these acts of self preservation are
the cough, the sneeze and the sigh.
Every one is familiar with these
acts, yet few people ever ask them
selves the cause, and fewer still
could explain them.
One of the simplest Of the body's
devices for self protection is the
cough. The cough is merely blast
of air propelled from the lungs in
such a manner as to forcibly dis
lodge some foreign substance which
has been drawn into the throat, the
windpipe or the tubes leading to
the lungs.
The membranes lining these
parts of the body are very sensitive,
and when a foreign matter comes IN
contact with them an alarm mes
sage is at once sent to the nervous
headquarters" and the result is
the sudden, spasmodic expulsion of
breath which is called a cough.
Very often the cough is produced

Of a t, 'cign body, the cough is
merely means of expelling the
matter.
So, yo1 see, cough is merely one
of natu 5 methods of self protec-
ton. 5ngh cures contain some
drug which, by paralyzing the
nerves, revents the cough and al
lows the mucus to accumulate.
Thus the cough medicine does
only ham. The cure for a cough
is to cough-to cough until the ex-
cessive .eposit is removed. Mean
time, Of course, measures should be
taken t. prevent added deposits.
A sD. Ze is exactly like a cough,
save tha. the obstruction occurs in
the nos ills owing to the deposit of
some irritant or foreign matter
and tha the blast of air is thrown
out through the nose instead of
through the throat and mouth.
Why we sigh? When grieved

The 320.acre homestead bill Is hog
tied In congress and will not get
through which is probably Just As well
after all. Representative Mondell,
who has charge OF the bill In the
house, has been canvassing the situa-
tion and believes that IL will be
impossible to secure any further
action from this congress. Members
OF the house generally are inclined to
view the measure with suspicion, for
the Impression was created during the
consideration OF the conference report
last season that the bill contained Il
Joker and that II could be so construed
as to permit the entry OF almost any
vacant public lands in tracts OF 800
acres and under terms much more
lenient than are allowed In the present
homestead law. The opposition to
the bill hinges on the so.called Smoot
amendment, which permits entrymen
under certain circumstances to acquire
title without residing upon the land.
This amendment was adopted TO meet
conditions In Utah, but for some un-
explained reason the Utah senator
would not consent to cOntine the
amendment to his state alone, but in
sisted that II should be general In its
effect and applicable to all arid aud
femi'arid states. Personally we were

The cash value per acre of potatoes
Is greater in Colorado than in any

We need thousands more OF potato

through advertising in the farm
papers of the chief potatu.growing
states-Maine, Pennsylvania. New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wis.

Each Colorado commercial club,
and al! other advertisers, should
carefully consider the line Of farming
for which their locality is especially
adapted. Then spend their money in
advertising in farm papers In that

DROWNED NEAR EADS

While on hunting trip, DIR. A. W.
Scarlett and Conductor K. J. McNecly
both of Pueblo, were drowned in the
reservoirs near Eads, on last Sunday
evening at about 6:30 o'clock.
The TWO men were on the ice II one
Of the reservoirs when McNccly broke
through. He called for help, and
other members of the party heard DR.
Scarlctt respond. Hold on, Mac, I'm
coming" Then the ice cracked and
the silence OF the grave followed.
A search lasting for several hours
failed to show even where the two
men had gone through the ice, as
there were several holes into any one
OF which they might have slipped.
Sheriff John Blair, OF Kiowa county.
who was with the party, drove to Eads
where he told the story and as many
men as could be mustered were start
ed out to the reservoirs to search for
the bodies OF the unfortunate hunters.
Up to Wednesday evening, no trace
OF the bodies had been found.

county, thence west IL miles, south
miles and west until IL intersects
the river at n point between Rocky
Ford and Manzanola.
There are 1900 voters and 5000
people within the boundaries Of the
new county as outlined in the petition,
but IL is thought this estimate is too
small, as many voters residing in the
southern part, rcast their votes in
towns south OF the river. The popula-
tion can safely be placed at 1000, and
is considered conservative.
There are twelve other counties in
the state, each with less area and
smaller population than the proposed
new county and twcnty-thrce cOun-
ties with a smaller valuation. Each
of these have proven to be self
sustaining.
The total bonded Indebtedness Of
OtcrO county Is Sl4 4,5O0, and the part
the new county would have To assume
is 50 .GlO.
Ihe revenue from the million ana
half dollars worth of taxable property
at the present levy Of l6 mills, will
amount to s24 200, which is ample to
defray the expenses Of the new county
and make many needed improvements.
With the new county organized, an
appropriation for good road through
its entire length can in all probability
be secured from the state.

Rocky Ford, realize the great benefit
this division will be to the towns along
