Coal strike Situation.

Denver.-The American Fuel Com
pany, controlling one-third of the out
put in the northern fields, has signed
the union wage scale. The Rocky
Mountain and the National Fuel com
panies declare they will fight to the
last ditch. Possibilities of merry
coal war and cut in prices is be-
lieved imminent Charges that the
American Fuel Company received $780,
900 for signing up with the unions are
emphatically denied by officers of the
company. The intimation made that
the American Fuel Company would
receive $4,000 not to sign the agree
ment IL denied by opposition coal com
panies involved. The present settle
ment comes after a strike of two
years. starting April 2. 1910. 1t is es-
timated that the strike has cost all
parties concerned close to $2.000,000.
Six men were killed, ten seriously in
jured and over 100 strikers or strike
breakers were waylaid and beaten
since the strike was inaugurated. or
the 1900 strikers still in the northern
fields 1t Is expected that fully 800 will
be employed within the next sixty
days.

FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Whore the Winters Arc Cold and the
Shows Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David
Harum made famous, a man says that
he was an habitual coffee drinker, and.
although he knew 1t was doing him
harm, was too obstinate to give 1t up,
till all at once he went to pieces with
nervousness and insomnia, loss of ap-
petite, weakness. and q generally
used-up feeling. which practically un-
fitted him for his arduous occupation.
and kept him on a couch at home
when his duty did not call him out.
while in this condition Grape
Nuts food was suggested to me, and
began to use 1t. Although 1t was in
the middle of winter, and the Their
mometer was often below zero. almost
my entire living for about six weeks
of severe exposure was on Grape-Nuts
food with a little bread and butter and
a cup OF hot water till was wise
enough to make Postum my table bev-
erage.
After the first two weeks l began
to feel better and during the whole
winter l never lost trip on my mail
route, frequently being on the road
Z or hours at a time.
"The constant marvel to me was
how a person could do the amount of
work and endure the fatigue and hard
ship as l did, on SO small an amount
of food. But l found my new rations
SO perfectly satisfactory that i have
continued them-using both Postum
and Grape-Nuts at every meal. and
often they comprise my entire meal.
"All my nervousness. irritability and
Insomnia have disappeared and healthy.
natural sleep has come back to me.
But what has been perhaps the great
est surprise to me is the fact that
with the benefit to my general health
has come a remarkable Improvement
in my eye-sight.

active brain are to be desired, l can

Four Thousand Mile. of Highway.

Denver.-Four thousand miles Of
state highway. costing nearly $4,000
600 have been planned by the state
highway commission, the construction
OF which will be commenced this year
if court proceedings permit. They
form a closely connected system,
touching every county in the state,
and, II built, will reach the test Of

State Highway Commissioner Thomas
Tully explains as follows: Where an
automobile does not ride smooth. you

Expenditure of this money upon
Colorado's roads during 1912, which
would give labor to thousands of men

the Supreme Courts action upon High
way bill 200. the validity of which has
been brought into controversy from
the omission in the Senate printed

There is nothing the matter with

was only for skin troubles" True. It
is for skin troubles. but its great mis-
sion Is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to 1t all the
advantages of the best OF toilet soaps.

The Very Best Make.

In the course of an after-dinner
speech in praise Of woman, Samuel
Untermeyer, the New York lawyer,
said In Pittsburg:
"A commercial traveller remarked
the other day to storekeeper:
MAKE yourself Christmas pres
ent OF a cash register. 1t will keep
strict and accurate account OF all you
receive and all you disburse. 1t will
show what you save and what you
sQuander what you spend foolishly
and what you spend wisely. where
you should spread out and where you
should retrench, what you waste and
how you waste it
But said the storekeeper. I've

all that and more
"'Whose make is it?' asked the
salesman, frowning.

piled; and with a smile at once rev.

HIS MoDEsTY OF HIGH ORDER
Tinker, of Course, Loved His Neigh
Dor as Himself, but That Wasn't
Too Much.

Lord Tankerville, who is sending
his son to an American school, said
the other day In New York:
There are too many Englishmen-
and English boys as well-who de-
velop, in the presence of lord. a
painful and unnatural modesty. Their
modesty reminds me of village tink-
err
This tinker had rather crusty
disposition, and his pastor said to him
one day:
"'My man, you should love your
neighbor as yourself
"'Yes, SIR said the tinker.
But the pastor had in mind a nasty
black eye that the tinker had given
the bricklayer next door, and SO he
went on:
do you, though, do you, honestly.
love your neighbor as yourself?'
"'Yes, sir; oh, yes. SIR said tho
tinker; and he added. but I'm a mod
est man, ye see, and, to tell the truth.

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
ly the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
a great measure dependent upon nor
NAL. healthy. regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep. ir-
ritability and a dozen and one similar
evidences of physical disorder are soon
apparent
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign Of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits. and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin In soc and $1.00

Good Joke On Tie Lawyers

At the. recent term OF the city

ed to feign insanity, for whom the
Court appointed q certain rising
young attorney to defend him. When
the case was called for trial and
both sides had announced ready
and the jury had been stricken, the
aforesaid young attorney arose and
announced to the court that his
client would not cooperate with
him ain the trial, and asked to have
his namestricken. The jndge upon
asking the prisoner his reason for
SO acting replied that he did not
want town lawyer, and some
Of the brethren Of the bar claim
that he said a no account lawyer,
the Court requested the young law
yer to proceed, and after due trial
in which the defendant was ably
defended, the verdict was guilty.
The young attorney was guyed
considerably for what his client said
but got even with one bright attor-
ney who was on the opposite side Of
the next case.
The bright young attorney in adj
dressing the jury endeayored to rid
icule the case out Of conrt, in rep
resenting the defendant, and made
mlny keen and witty thrusts at the
cause Of the state. When the first
named attorney replied, after some
derogatory remarks as to his being
"a country lawyer, etc, he passed
several compliments on the superb
abilities of opposite counsel and
then quoted this clippsng
Lost One round mule, round
as a ring nine years old eight in

glass, three white feet one Of lem
brass; head bulged out, ribs caved
in: he's damn good mule for the
fix he's in. And the country law
yer won his case. So. even amidst
the cold and suffering the court and
jury was warmed with laughter.
