MISS MIDDAUGH's CONCERT.

Miss Middaugh, who will give
a concert for the benefit of
the Presbyterian church, Tues
day evening, November 21, has
received many favorable press no
tices. The following is from The
Denver News:
denver society last evening
enjoyed one of the most delight
full treats of the entire year when
it .flocked to the Central Christ
ian church to attend the concert
given by the beautiful young con
tralto, Florence Siever Middaugh.
Miss Middaugh is Colorado
girl. She is a tall brunette and
possesses what has been pronoune
ed by critics one of the greatest
contralto voices in the world. Ma /.
ters of the art who have heard
the young woman predict a great
future for her. Her voice is not
able for its range and quality of
tone. Her low notes can be com
pared to the deep thrilling notes
of an organ, while the higher
ones are clear. In the love songs
it was sweet and tender, but in
the heavier selections the quality
and strength of tone was demon
strated.
A brilliant audience enjoyed

Word was received in Alamosa
this week that Stafford Y. Amber
had died at Atlantic City, New
Jersey, on September >, of pneu-
monia. He was probably the most

Luis Valley and did a tremendous
business in this section a decade
ago. Of late years he has devoted
his talents to Oklahoma projects
and is reported to have been
flourishing at the time of his

in the valley who will learn of
his death with regret.

takes great pride in the prompt
ness with which his company has

fore his last illness giving his

Life Insurance Popular.
From Moody's Magazine

The number of persons in this country
who make use of life insurance as a
means Of saving exceeds THE total number
who avail themselves of all the other rec
ognized modes Of thrift
II we add together the 100000 of
savings bank depositors, the 100000 of
persons who own their own homes. the .,
100000 building and loan societies and
stockholders. and the !. 10000 of corpora
ton stockholders We shall have, not reck-
oning Implications, not more than twenty
millions Of investors.
While the number of persons who hold
policies. ordinary and industrial in life
insurance companies exceeds 2SWO, OOC
this does not include the number of certii-
cate holders in fraternal and assessment
associations, old line or legal reserve life
insurance being the only kind Of insur-
ance that Is worth the serious attention
of business men.
The total life insurance carried in the
United States today Is about $3.50 a head
OF the population, a sum considerably
greater than that Of any other country In
the world. The companies reporting to
the New York insurance department had
December 81. Io-J, s14.6sO 26S, 215 insur-
ance in force. They had a total premium
income of S53S. 06O.996. and assets amount
ing TO S., 665, 63O, 635. which represents ap-
proximately as large a sum of money as
the total savings in all the banks of the
country.

Growing Red Corpuscles.
From the Columbus Dispa tch.


Human blood on Pixies Peak is said tn
have 40 per cent more of red corpus lies
than human blood at the sea level. That
is an important statement. If true, fer
the red corpuscles are supposed 10 he
the greatest foes of disease germs in the
human system. An abundance of red
corpuscles means health; a shortage OF
them means sickness.
But the facts on which the statement
is based are not given. and we are left
to wonder what they are how they were
obtained and what they really mean Is
it Colorado air that makes red cor
puscles? Or is il simply elevation above
the sea? Would the same results be
found at similar elevations in other parts
of the country? How long does it take
for the Colorado air, or the elevation, or
whatever it is to put a. per cent more
red corDuscles into the blood? And i'm
the variation abnormal" And if so, what
is the explanation of 1t?
We all want a good supply of red cor
puscles and il may be hoped that the
blunt announcement that they grow in
the air of Pixies Peak is going To be
amplified SO that may all know
where to go TO get them and how long
we shall have to stay to provide our
selves amply with a fighting force.
