Many Coal Entries Void.

Denver.-Under decision of the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals, just rendered at st. Louis. suits
may be brought by the government
to regain thousands of acres of coal
lands in Colorado and other states filed
upon fraudulently. The decision was
given in the case of the government
against the Diamond Coal and Coke
Company of Wyoming, which was an
appeal from a decision of Federal
Judge Lewis. The ruling of the Court
of Appeals, which reverses the deci-
sion of Judge Lewis, is that lands may
be proved to be coal lands by expert
geological testimony, and that out
groupings of coal are not necessary to
prove the character of the lands. The
ruling heretofore has been that lands
were not considered TO be coal lands
unless veins appeared through the sur
face.

washington.-A delegation of Utah
and Idaho wool men, accompanied by
Senator Smoot, called upon President
Taft and discussed briefly prospective
Legislation affecting the wool tariff
They told the President they favored
the bill Senator Smoot has framed,
which proposes making washed in
stead of raw wool the basis of tariff
charges, and that they would like to
see the traiff on wool importations
cover the difference between the cost
of production in this and foreign
countries. Possibly some of its men,
bers will return here after Congress
convenes, to aid western members in
their efforts to protect the interests

VIII Reclaim $1,000 Acres.

Denver.-The State Land Board ap-
proved a petition for the segregation
of 1900 acres of Cary act land lying
in San Miguel and Montrose counties
approved it conditionally. Duncan
Chisholm of Colorado Springs is the
petitioner, and with him are associated
Gen. Bulkeley Wells of Telluride. and
Chaloner Schley of Colorado Springs.
The scheme also involves the reclama-
ton of $1,000 acres of privately owned
land in the same vicinity; and the COM
pletion of the project calls for an irri-
CATION system and railway enterprise
which together will cost, it is estimat-
ed, about S5,500,000.
The Land Board stipulates that the
Cary act land shall not be segregated
excepting under a contract calling for
the completion of the irrigation system
as outlined by Robert McF. Doble, the
engineer for the petitioners. 1t is also
stipulated that the company shall be
permitted to charge s55 an acre for
water rights affecting the Carey &C,
lands. The company may charge what
ever price it can get for water rights
affecting the privately owned lands.
The railroad feature of the project
calls for an extension of the Denver Il
Rio Grande system for about fifty or
sixty miles from Placerville into the
territory to be developed. The cost of
the extension is estimated at about
s1,5O0.O00.

How to Use Red Cross Seals.
,SS.< a<~~

How to Use Red Cross Seals" is
the title of an interesting publication
recently issued by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis.
Red Cross Seals must be placed
only on the back of letters and not
on the address side of packages that
are going through the mail. Ther'
may be placed anywhere on matte,
going by express. Care should he
taken in sending merchandise through
the mails not to place seals over the
strings with which the package is tied.
since. this seals the package against
inspection and subjects it to first
class postage rates. AS many seals
may be used on the back of a letter
or package as may be desired. Every
one is urged to use them literally.
since every seal is bullet in the war
against tuberculosis.
Red Cross seals ara not good for
postage. and will not cArry mail mat
ter, but any kind of mail matter will
carry them. Finally. every letter or par
eel sent out. either by mail or in some
other way. during the holiday sea
son should bear one or more Red
Cross seals.

ing officers of both branches of the

Do You Help Others?

It has been tritely said that for ev- cry one who stands alone there are twelve to lean against him. How is 1t with you? Are you one of those against whom others lean for help and encouragement. or are you leaning against some one ard drawing your inspiration and courage from him: It depends entirely on yourself whethei you take a positive attitude in your work or whether your negative char acteristic shall dominate. It is much easier to so through life making Gs little effort as possible, but it is 6 poor way if we are going to make Hfc yield ovcn a small modicum ot what it holds for us. If you are work ing earnestly and hoping for success there is only one way to attain it, and that is through your positive charac .eristics.-Philadalrhia Ledger.

For over three decades Foley's Honey nnd Tar Eompound has been a standard remedy for coughs, colds and affections of the throat, chest and lungs for children

HUMAN DISSECTION.
Surgery and the Anatomists In the
 Olden Days

Olden Days
 For long time Alexandria was the only medical center of the world, and the physician Galen, born about 130 A. D., had to journey from Rome to the African city even to see a skele- ton. He sent his students to the Ger man battleields to dissect the bodies of the national enemies, while he hizl- self used apes as most resembling hc- man beings Human dissection was revived in Bologna in the fourteenth century, where Madonna Manzolina later was professor of anatomy. un- doubtedly one of the first women Loc- tors, if not the very first. Leonardo da Vinci, painter of 'The Last Sup section had fallen into disuse when Vesalius finally revived it about til, middle of the sixteenth century.
 Even in comparatively modern times anatomists have been the object of at tacks by the populace. In 1765 Dr. John Shippen Of Philadelphia was mobbed as a grave robber. Doctors riots In New York occurred twenty three years later and were due to the belief that the medical students rob bed graves continually. It was the lack of opportunity to obtain subjects regularly that led to the practice of grave robbing and originated what Dr. Keene calls "a set of the lowest possible villains-the resurrectionists" {" New York World.
