Protection Of Coal Miners.

The three coal mine disasters which
occurred in Colorado during the last
year, resulting in the death of about
300 miners, have resulted in proposed
legislation to obtain better inspection
of coal mines. Representative Joseph
Hurd Of Boulder introduced bill la
the House providing for the division
of the state into seven coal mining
inspection districts. The bill provides
for the appointment Of four additional
deputy coal mine inspectors, one for
each proposed district Of the state.
AS proposed in a second bill the
mine inspection department of the
state would consist of a chief inspec'
tor, seven deputies instead of four,
clerk and stenographer. The salary
of the state mine inspector would be
$4,000 year and that of the deputies
$4,000 a year.

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee 10 Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land Of cot
ton of the results Of a four years use
Of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. 1t had
. more or less injurious effect upon
US all, and 1 myself suffered almost
death from Indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it.
IT know 1t was that, because when
I would leave it OF for a few days
would feel better. But 1t was hard to
give 1t up. even though realized how
harmful 1t was to me.
AT last I found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and also in
fluenced the rest Of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink it freely as they do
water. And It has done us all great
good.
II no longer suffer from Indigestion,
and my nerves are in admirable tone
since I began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.

ECZEMA GONE, BoILs CURED

when I noticed a breakin0out on his
cheeks, from which watsry sub

arms. shoulders and breast broke out
also. and in few days became a solid
soab. became alarmed, and called
our family physician, who at once pro-
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
tic fellow was under his treatment
for about three months. By the end
Of that time. he seemed no better. I
became discouraged, and as had
read the advertisements of Cuticura
Remedies and testimonials Of a great
many people who had used them with
wonderful success. dropped the doc
tors treatment. and commenced tho
use Of Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
and in a few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he was about seven
months old all trace of the eczema
was gone.
During his teething period. his
head and face were broken out in
boils which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During the
time of teething and from the time I
dropped the doctors treatment. used
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment, nothing else, and when two
years old he was the picture Of health.
His complexion was soft and beauti-
full, and his head mass of silky curls.
