from death. They were living in a
hotel, one of the adobe and plaster
houses of the Central American
countries, which came down about
their heads.
There were 100 separate shocks
felt in Cartago between April 18th
and May 4th," said Mrs. Calvert,
but it was the one that came the
night of May 4th, without a warning
of any kind, that did the damage.
There was tremor and a crash and
then everything fell-walls, beams,
ceiling. The doctor and I were in
our room, and the ceiling beams, the
plaster and the tile of the roof fell
all about us. That we were not
killed was a miracle, but the worst
we received was a shower of dust.
When we were able to dig our
selves out there lay the whole city
in ruins. l don't want to talk of the
horrors of the scene. There were the
shrieks of the wounded and dying,
and the suffering was terrible, al
though many of the persons had been
killed instantly. More than 1000
dead bodies were in the streets until
the rescue party arrived"

LIQUOR CAUSE OF INSANITY
THE NUMBER OF CASES DUE TO
DRINK STARTLINGLY LARGE.
The Statement Was Made to the Ma
tiOnal Conference of Charities
and Corrections.

CIOHA conference or Charities
and Corrections.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Excessive use of
alcohol was charged with one-third of
the insane dependents, between thirty
and forty per cent. of all epileptic
cases, and from forty to fifty per cent.
of all cases of imbecility in the Unit
ed States by Bailey B. Burritt, as
sistant secretary of the State Chari-
ties Aid Association of New York, in
an address before the National Con-
ference of Charities and Correction
here this morning. Mr. Burritt also
stated that sixty per cent of the total
number of arrests in the state of Mas
sachusetts for the year 1908 were
due to public intoxication.
The almost universal practice of
treating drunkenness solely as
penal problem with no medical as
pect, and of filming persons convicted
OF public intoxication a small amount
and sentencing them to Imprisonment
from three to ten days is of no use
whatever, either so far as the indi-
v1dual or as society is concerned
said Mr.. Burritt.
THE problem should be treated"
he concluded, 'as a medical problem
with penal aspects, rather than a
penal problem with no medical as
poets. He proposed a plan for deal
ing with the whole problem as fol-
lows:
l. "A more adequate system of
Identification of cases of alcoholism
in order to sift out the 'rounder.'
2. "A graded series of remedies.
including release of first offenders
without their appearance in court and
a greatly extended use of probation
and suspended sentence.
3. THE use of fines to be paid in
installments and the abolition of the
practice of fining a man after he has
spent his last cent on a spree and
then committing him to a penal insti-
tuition for the want of money to pay
his fine.
| 4. Provision for commitment of
chronic drunkards upon proper med
ical certification without the neces-
sity of being arrested for public in
toxication and hauled before a court.
This commitment should follow the
analogy of commitment of insane per-
sons.
5. 1.-THE development of farm and
hospital colonies to which habitual
alcoholics can be committed, and
where they can be given abundance
of healthful out of door work and
medical care"

In The WAKE OF TRAGEDY
GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF THE
EARTHQUAKE IN CARTAGO.
AS Bodies Were Dug From Ruins
Seamen Would Bury Them. There
Were 100 Separate Shocks.

As Bodies Were Dug From Ruins
Seamen Would Bury Them. There
Were 100 Separate Shocks.
A graphic description of the hor-
rors of the earthquake on May 4th
in Carriage, Costa RIGA, is given by
I passengers on a steamer which was
at Port Limon when the disaster oc-
CURED, and who organized a relief
expedition when news of the great
tragedy was received. The trip was
made to Carriage, so miles distant,
on a special train.
The scene presented was such as
one can never forget" says one of
the party. I'm the ride across the
country we saw men and women run
ming about wildly, shrieking in their
terror, for even then there were
rumblings. When we arrived at Car
tago we found a deserted city. Those
who had not been killed had left the
city and were seeking safety outside.
| Every church was down, and at the
entrance of what had been the mag
bnificent cathedral five women and
men were lying dead The spire
stuck in the ground.
AS the bodies were dug from the
ruins the seamen would bury them,
while DR.. Brewer, the ships sur
geon, and the nurses were doing
what they could for the living. No
one knows how many dead bodies
were taken out and sent away on
the train. 1t may have been a thou
sand, and it may have been twice
that many, for there was no way to
keep a record, SO urgent was the ne
cessity of removing.
Tents were made of carpets and
curtains for the living, and for two
days we worked among the wound
ed, giving food and medicine Near
/ ly 1000 persons were cared for, and
many of these will recover. Many
of them were suffering only from
shock and fright"
DR.. and Mrs. Philip P. Calvert of
Philadelphia, the former a profess
sor of biology in the University Of
Pennsylvania, who were in Carriage
at the time, had narrow escapes

COTTON SEED FLOUR.
More Like Meat Than Flour; Makes
Vegetarianism More Practical.


Vegetarianism may be somewhat
less impractical now that -four made
from cottonseed meal seems to take
the place of meat, says Tip in the
New York Press. Texas Agricultural
and Mechanical College experiments
go to show that cottonseed -four has
sweetish taste, pleasant smell,
bright yellow color, and is good food
for Texans. DR.. Traps, Texan chem
list, took one part cottonseed flour
to three parts wheat -four, putting in
three tablespoons of cottonseed oil,
pint of buttermilk, level teaspoon
full of cooking soda, salt to taste, and
baked delicious biscuits of brown
color. Next cottonseed gingersnaps
were made. Texans said they were
good and could not be told from
wheat flour gingersnaps. Ginger
cake worked out the same way.
Steam bread was yellow color, sweet
ish taste and palatable, but was not
so light as wheaton bread.
Chemical analysis shows cotton
seed -four has over four times as
much protein as wheat -four, and
that in fat, nitrogen, water and ash
it is more like meat than like flour.
While eggs and cottonseed flour have
pretty much the same quantity of
fat the new -four has more than
twice as much portein (albume-
noids).

ANIMALS AND BED TIME.
Rats Bite Holes in the Rhinoceros,
But the Chewed Never Resents.

But the Chewed Never Resents.
The orang-outang goes to bed at
shutdown, draping it's head in blank
ct, and refusing to see visitors after
dusk. 1t is an early riser. With
the lions, tigers, and other members
of the cat tribe, the night finds them
at their liveliest, and they sleep most
between the midday meal and supper
time. The eagles go to sleep just
about the time their neighbors in
the owl cage are waking up, while
the bears, during the winter months,
apparently sleep all day and night,
too.
The residents of the monkey house
object seriously to being disturbed
after dark, and if one of the keepers
happens to take a light into their
quarters they scold him unmerciful-
ly. On the other hand, it would prob
ably take dynamite bomb to arouse
the rhinoceros, and it is not uncom-
mon to find rats biting holes in its
thick hide with impunity.

HEN LAYS EGGS AND ALSO FUEL TO COOK EN-

Preliminary tests of the black egg
shells to determine their value as
fuel have been made, and prove that
the hens are the goods. The egg
shells, thickly impregnated with coal
dust, burn long time and give out
an intense heat. This is said to be
due to the combination of coal and
lime which the shells contain.

ADVERTISING THE COUNTY

Denver county has set goou
example to the other counties OF the
state in the matter of appropriations.
The commissioners have set aside
fund OF $4,000 for next year that Is
to be spent exclusively in advertis-
ing the resources and advantages OF
that section TOR home makers.
Under the law passed by the gen.
eral assembly, any county in the
state may legally create an advertls-
ing fund. provided not more than
one twentieth OF a mill be assessed
for this purpose
Weld county has already fixed the
levy for next year, so that the au-
ditional twentieth OF mill could not
now be assessed. The matter OF an
advertising fund for the county was
broached to the commissioners by
the Greeley Commercial club. but
the reply was given that the levy had
already been fixed. The maximum
that could be appropriated by Weia
would be about s3,500. Such sum
would be effective if properly spent
and could be made to bring returns
of the most satisfactory sort.
1t would appear that something
should be done by the commissioners
in creating fund for advertising
purposes, since within the hrst
month of the year permanent organi-
zation will be effected by the sixteen
commercial clubs in the county. A
preliminary meeting has been held
at which it was decided to make the
organization one devoted to the best
interests OF Weld county.
This new organization, represent
ing, as it does. the entire county and
composed, as it is. of representative
men of the various sections, will
need money for its work, and since
its chief office is concerted pull for
greater Weld county, it is no more
than just that it should be given
financial assistance oy the county.
The right kind of publicity is be-
ing sought on every hand today.
Towns, counties, states, railroads,
great corporations of every sort have
trained men to present their briefs.
Competition is keen and the institu-
ton that does not tu,ertise itself Is
the one that will lose in the race for
a greater population and a greater
business. Advertising has reached
the dignity of an art. The county in
Colorado that is going to make the
best showing at the next census is
the one that presents its advantages
in most attractive form to the thous-
ands of homeseekers In the east who
are considering a change of resi-
dence. Weld county has the land,
the climate and the essentials fer
happy homes, but it must let the
world know what it has. or the west
ward trail will be diverted by the
publicity given other less favored
sections.

DECISION IN IMPORTANT
WATER CASE JANUARY

A decision will be handed down
on January in Denver on the suit
of the Farmers Independent Ditch
company of Weld county against the
Scherer Land and Investment COM
many of Denver. Tor water valued at
more than 100000 that has been
conveyed to the defendant company
from the Jay Thomas ditch.
The plaintiffs sought to have
abandoned the right OF the Thomas
ditch to lO4 cubic feet of water. al
leging that the 275 acres OF laui
under the Thomas ditch required
only seven feet OF water and that
the right was granted In error and
the supply was far in excess OF what
was being used for the purpose
designated.
1t is claimed that If the defendant
company is allowed title to the water
it will be carried down the Platte
river $50 miles to be placed on new
lands that are being reclaimed to
the great detriment of Weld county
lands that now get the benefit of the
excess.
The case occupied two weeks in
the district court at Denver and a
score of Weld county pioneers ap-
reared as witnesses. 1t is consid-
cred one OF the most important ever
brought over water. rights in this
county.
