We are so far south that our warm,
sunshiny climate, together with our
altitude, thins and purifies our blood.
This makes our nerves more sensitive
to any foreign substance in the body.
For instance, you can give man whose
blood is pure and thin, who has never
tasted whisky, a drink of whisky, or
the same sized dose of poison drugs
that would not affect a drinking man.
and his heart would become so excited
he would drop dead from heart ex-
haustion. That is why drugs and slim
ulants kill so much more rapidly here
than elsewhere. A lady whose blood
had been thinned and purified by
typhoid fever, craved some tomato
catsup. Now, the acid in it would
have been good for her, as it would
ferment the blood and keep any stag
nant blood from settling in the sys-
TEN. That is why all fruit juices are
good for you and help digestion and
circulation and rest the nerves, while
stimulants and poisons irritate and
thus exhaust them. But there was

right here in El Paso every day, in the
loss of hundreds of our best people. and
by the loss Of from Is to 200 per
thousand of the sick people throughout
the United States, while the Osteo-
paths only lose on an average one
out of thousand. So we have no one
else to blame but ourselves, if we allow
ourselves to be exhausted by stimu
lants and antitoxin poisons from dis
eased animals and poisonous drugs,

Family Physicians to be butchered at

For Osteopathy has proven by the loss
of only one in a thousand that it is the
only safe and sane way to handle dis

The reason California helps rush our

CHRISTMAS BUYING HEAVY.

The Christmas buying this year
is reported by the Delta merchants
to have been the heaviest on record.
1t would be hard to estimate the
amount of money spent in keeping
up the time honored custom of gift
giving. and it is still more difficult
to criticize any extravigance in this
direction The fact remains every
whore though. all feel Christmas poor
following this holiday and many look
upon the presentation of small
legitimate bill as an unreasonable
hardship
From the other side of the situa-
ton. the day was one of feastfng
and good cheer. as we'll as of gift
giving. The average families were
seated At tables laden with good
things. while the very few known to
be Ill provided for the day. were
looked up as well as possible and
came in from his ranch twelve miles
up the Gnnnison with boxes OF ap-
pies and inquired for needy fam
lilies to give them to.
All business houses in Delta were
closed except the drug stores and
n few toy stores which kept open
to accomm odate the remnant of late
shoppers
The day closed with the annual
Firemans ball at night, which had
the usual large attendance and al
so proved the usual social success.
Most of the Christmas church ser
vices were held previous to Christ
mas day.

TAKING A "SWIPE" At THE
COLOLORADO COAL TRUST
Perfecting Plans to Mine State Coal
Lands by State and Give Con-
sumner Benefit

A permanent organization of far
mers, working men and advocates
of measures intended to protect the
yer as the second step in the plan
to give Colorado the power to mine
coal on state land and break the
coal trust.
Representatives of the Direct Leg
islation League, the Trades Labor
assembly and the Farmers Union In
conference have named President
Edward Keating the chairman of
this permanent organization. whose
chief purpose is to draft a bill to
be submitted to the people at the
next election.
The object OF the proposed bill
will be to give the state the right
to mine its own coal; to regulate
the price of coal to its lesees and
to prevent control of the coal sit
uation in Colorado by monopoly.
The organization is statewide in
it's representation. Its aim will be to
secure legislation that will aid the
people in every part of Colorado.
The first work of the organiza-
tion will be to secure all data per
tanning to the coal situation in the
state, rates charged by railroads for
different hauls in different sections
will be compiled. Grades of coal will
be examined Prices charged by big
companies will be ascertained and
compared.
There will be a determined effort
to show that 1t is feasible to mine
coal in Colorado and deliver it to
the consumer for from one-half TO
one-third less than the price it is
sold under present conditions.
President Heating, of the state
land board. says: We want to know
why. for instance, the railroads
charge So a ton for 35 miles
over a moderate grade in the vicin-
ity of Como, when it should not be
more than SO cents
The new organisation will find
out and then draft a bill.
This method OF procedure agains
combination of interests engaged
in producing and marketing coal
would naturally seem to be the yer,
one to win against any sort OF oppo'
sition and the progress OF the new
plan will unQuestionably be followed
with considerable interest by all
residents of the state. and more par
ticularly. perhaps, those of the lab
oring class, who feel the price OF
fuel most.

FIREMAN'S BALL ON XMAS
NIGHT A BIG SOCIAL SUCCESS,

One of the very successful social
events of the holiday week this
year was the Fireman ball, given
at Delta opera house Xmas night by
the local fire department, a volun-
teer organization which never fails
to respond with necessary prompt
ness when property is endangered
by ravishing flames. and never fails
to give efficient service.
Not n single cent is paid to any
member of this body of fire fight
ers. and in consequence the residents
OF Delta are always ready to go
down into their pockets for the
rr;ce of a ball ticket, when called
upon to do SO. Something like 125
people did this very thing and rs
couples were present to partici-
pate in the annual dance which did
not have the Home Sweet Home"
number until the small hours of
the morning, and every participant
went home feeling well repaid for
the money and time spent.
As a result of the ,doings that
night the fire boys have a much bet
ter fund at hand for further use
and are in n better spirit for any
duty which may confront them.

DELTA COUNTY MAN MAKES
A BIG DEAL IN DENVER.

1t has just developed that C. E.
Clark. former well known resident
of Delta county and former manager
of the Clark Realty company with
offices in this city and Denver made
good deal when he traded a small
tract of land near Delta for a GEN.
trally located apartment house in
Denver.
According to recent reports in the
columns of Denver dailies, the ap-
artment house has just been sold
by Mr.. Clark for $4,000 cash, and
his judgement on deals can easily
be accepted at par in the future.
Mr.. Clark paid some cash in his
trade for the Denver property. but
even at that he has handsome
price per acre for the land consid-
cred in the transfer.

BRAKEMAN FELL FROM TRAIN
AND Is SERIOUSLY INJURED

Frank Rose, a brakeman on the
local North Fork freight run be-
tween this city and Somerset. fell
from the top OF n box car while do
ing some switching at Austin last
Friday morning and received injur-
les which may prove fatal.
Rose is young man weighing
two hundred pounds or more and
fall OF this character would nat
urally cause serious contusions. IL
nothing more. The injured man was
picked up by fellow workmen. un-
conscious and bleeding profusely
about the head and face, and brought
to this city in the caboose in all
possible haste.
The local Rio Grande physician
was summoned but had not COM
pleted a thorough examination to
determine injuries. when the morn
ing train pulled in and Rose was
placed aboard for Salida. where he
entered the Rio Grande hospital. The
first reports about the city were that
Roses back was broken, but this
is thought to be untrue. although
he may have sustained serious in
ternal injuries. His face and head
were badly bruised and his nose
thought to be broken.

NEW DELTA DIRECTORY.

Work will start soon on the sec
ond edition OF the Delta county d.
rectory. Mr. Mckinney and Mr.. Car

Montrose, where they have Just con-
pleted the compilation OF the Mont
rose book These directories. AZ
we'll as all the other directories pub
lished by Mr.. Mckinney. are gotten
out every two years. They are not
revised, as some people think. but
a thorough canvass from house to
house, both in towns and on the
rural routes. Just rs IL there had
never been n directory made before.
This is the only way that compilers
can be sure that NO one is missed.
An acurate census will be made of
Delta county as was made two years
ago this winter. The directory CEN
sus showed 1857 people in Delta
and sol in North Delta. The gov
ernment census, taken n few months
later, showed in tho Delta city
limits 233S. 1t looks from this
showing, like the solicitors for the
directory did not miss any one.

WELL KNOWN DELTA MAN
DIES IN DENVER HOSPITAL
E. NJ. Jarman, Who Spent Quarter
of a Century Here, Passes
From Life.

E. NJ. Jarman, sixty-four years OF
city, passed to the great beyond at
2 o'clock last Sunday afternoon at
ST. Luke's hispital in Denver, after
an illness caused by heart and kid
ney troubles which had created
much concern for two years past,
though not assuming a stage of SIR
iousness until eight or ten months
ago.
Mr.. Jarman has been a contrac-
tor in painting and decorating here
for many years, and only a few
weeks ago he would make daily
trips to and from a handsome Gar
net mesa home, where he directed
interior work, and, in fact, took
some part in the labor himself He
was SO weak and short of breath
at times, it is said, that he would
take frequent rests at the roadside,
and finally concluded to give up the
struggle, at the solicitation of his
friends. and go to a lower altitude
in the hope of being benefited.
He went to Danville, Illinois, a
few weeks ago and visited briefly
with a sister, but the change in
scene and climate seemed to fur
nish no encouraging results and he
started for home. Arriving in Den
yer he became much worse and was
taken to st. Luke's hospital by his
friends in that city and every care
and attention was given him in that
institution, but the diseases had
already gained too firm a hold up
on their victim and death came at
the hour above mentioned as the
only result.
| Mr.. Jarman was a native of Ken
lucky, and when but mere boy, en-
listed in the Southern army. At
the close of the war he and his
family moved from Richmond, Ken
lucky to Illinois and later Mr.. jar
man came to Colorado, locating for
a time at Monument. He has been
a resident of this city a quarter OF
a century and many of Delta's finesa
\ homes and business houses bear the
mark of his skill with brush and
paint.
Funeral services and interment
were held in Denver at o'clock
Tuesday afternoon, burial taking
place at Fairmount cemetery.

Session Ever Held by the
Association.

Yesterday was a big day for the
stock men of this county. 1t was
the occasion of their annual busi
ness session and banquet, and there
were representatives present from all
sections of the county. Many stock
growers from Montrose, Mesa and
other counties of the state were al

the forestry service was a complete
success and that the county organ
ization was in good financial condi-
ton.
several I'M OTLaut SOAlbh uhASabiShS
were read before the meeting, and
among the number was one from

terror. A paper from A. e. de Ric-
qles of Denver, reviewed the stock
situation and was of much interest
and Importance. The morning ses-
sion was closed with splendid ad-
dress ey T. w. Tomlinson, secretary

oiatitn OF Denver.
Oae hundred and fifty plates were

ing the banquet a number of briei
interesting addresses were made
