Governor ve.oes "Pork Barrel" Bills

Denver.-Governor John F. Shafroth
worlds record when he placed his
veto on sixty-nine bills. in one after
noon. One bill was vetoed earlier in
the day bringing his grand total for
the day up to seventy. The sixty
nine bills vetoed at one sitting were
the road and bridge bills commonly
known as the pork barrel bills.
They provided for the expenditure of
and bridges in all parts Of the state.
The sixty-nine bills vetoed by Gov
ernor Shafroth all provide for the con-
struction of roads and bridges on. of
the internal improvement fund. There
are a few bills providing for the ex-
penditure Of money TO be taken from
the general revenue of the state upon
internal improvements. No action has
been taken upon these measures as
yet.
The governor gave as his reason for
vetoing the so-called pork barrel"
bills the fact that the Democratic
platform pledged the expenditure Of
the internal improvement fund by the
state highway commission. This
pledge would not apply to the road and
bridge bills to be paid out of the gen.
eral revenues of the state.
The state highway commission will
now have the right to spend the en-
tire amount.

OrIQIn Of Goal,

Coal is of vegetable origin. When vegetable matter accumulates under water 1t undergoes slow process of decomposition. giving off Its nitrogen. hydrogen, oxygen and bome carbon, the result of which If carried far enough is the formation of mass ot carbon. Peat. found often in swampy tracts. is the first stage in the coal forming process. and the further stages are formed by the burial of these vegetable deposits under great loads of sediment where they beccnre subject to pressure and sometimes {" heat.

SAGE FOR DARKENING THE
 HAIR.

There is nothing new about the idea of using sage for restoring the color of the hair. Our great-grandmothers kept their locks soft, dark and glossy by using sage tea" Whenever their hair fell out or took on a dull, faded or streaked appearance, they made brew of sage leaves and ap- piled it to their hair with wonderful ly beneficial effect.
 Nowadays we don't have to resort to the old-time, tiresome method of gathering the herbs and making the brew. This is done by skillful chem ists better than we could do it our selves, and all We have to do is to call for the ready-made product. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, con- taining sage in the proper strength, with the addition of sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.
 The manufacturers of this remedy authorize druggists to sell it under guarantee that the money will be re- funded if it fails to do exactly as represented.
 This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle and Is recommended and sold by

TO FARMERS
 AND POULTRY RATSERS.

There IS no need of leaving the duck out of your plans. These Ln- dlan Runners are wonderful layers and some say they even beat the hest of hens.
 When eggs are not fertile they are worse than no eggs if sold for hatch- Ing purposes. for they damage both the one who buys and the one who sells them.
 l would put in few guineas also. NO farm is complete without their cheerful note. They board them- selves and lay any number of eggs in springtime.
 There Is no difference between true science and common sense. The same good judgment applies in both. Science only goes farther and takes in more.
 Hens will live and lay in any lati- tude or climate. They thrive in the far North and the extreme South It takes no particular kind of soil to raise hens.
 Have only one breed of chickens and mate only the best specimens, for breeding purposes. Sell the culls or use their eggs only for table and general market.
 I" have your eggs hatch rieht vol, muse not have too many hens for the number of your roosters. More males are required as the number of eggs increase.
 Keeping down expenses helms tc in- crease profits. but sometimes pro it's come only through expenditures Yet the expenditures must always ba wisely directed.
 Does poultry pay? If it does ~ot what multitude of foolish no-,'a 'usre must be in the world! In e,,,~v country on the globe there are pae- pie keeping poultry.
 Go out from the city and where is onere a farm without some sort of poultry7 Many of the city pleop1s
