Will Submit 80 Measures.

Denver.-Thirty-tw subjects have
been filed in the office of the secre-
tary of state for submission to the peo-
pie at the next general election un-
der the initiative and referendum. The
Direct Legislation League, which has
several petitions, the state highway
commission and others are to be heard
from.
Five constitutional amendments and
laws were referred to the people by
the Legislature, seven bills passed by
the last Legislature have been referred
to the people by petition, and eighteen
proposed laws and constitutional
amendments have been initiated
Secretary of State Pearce declares
he will economize in having the meas
ures printed in the newspapers of the
state. There is question whether pub
lication is required in four or five is
sues, the constitution reading that
bills submitted to the people must be
printed for four successive weeks.
Most editors contend that it is i'm
possible to publish for four successive
weeks without having the advertise
ment appear in five issues of a weekly
newspaper.
If it is held that five publications
are necessary the state must pay AS
cents an inch additional to every
newspaper used.
Secretary Pearce says he will not
advertise in daily newspapers every
day for four weeks, but will select one
day of the week and make the Dublica
tion four times.

HOW WE LIVE

When your brain sends an order
through one of the nerves, and sets
a muscle in operation, there is an
electrical explosion at the end of
the nerve-and then the muscle
works.
We do the work of our bodies,
the hard work, not with the food
that we eat-that is chiefly used
in making new tissues and repair
ing what we wear out. Our real
work is done with the air taken
into the lungs. The iron in the
red corpuscles carries the electric
force all through the body, in the
blood vessels, feeding the thou
sands of millions of cells, every
one of which eats and drinks and
breathes separately, just as the in
dividual man does.
You can live forty days without
food, seven days without water
three minutes without air. The
real force comes from the air, with
its oxygen and its electric force,
keeping you alive and at work.
Remember that when you fool
ishly shut your windows tight at
night,
AS men become civilized they
will rely less on brutal power and
more on thought, they will live
less on material food and depend
more on higher and subtler forces.
Eventually, in few millions of
years at the most, man will proba-
bly, be an electric body; the solids
and the liquids that he absorbs
will be very few compared with
these days. He will not feed upon
the flesh of dead animals, but will
find food in a higher and nobler
source.
Just at present, while we all live
on dead meat, numbering and eat
ing the lower animals to keep our
selves going, we are inclined to
laugh at the very simple proposi-
ton that electricity ought to be a
good food for an electric being -

behind a big stone wall at Thompson's
four corners, Beverly, Mass.
There, hidden away from spying
eyes, twenty-year- Helen Sc. Clay
Prick, only daughter of Henry C.
Prick, banker and mult;mi1lionaire. is
conducting a summer colony for girls,
where there is no gossiping, no fib
bling, no flirting and no frills. There
30 young Ewes from the Back Bay,
minus rats and switches and dressed
in bingham gowns, have romped close
to nature all summer.
1t is said that Henry C. Frick can
not bring the Quincys and Adamses
and Searses and Winthrops of Bever-
ly farms to recognize that a fortune
made in the old Salem days of full
rugged ships, Medford rum and slave
trade is no better than one made in
the Pittsburg trade in coal mines and
steel mills. He stays in a sort of
perpetual bad humor over 1t too.
'Of course I should not tell" said
one Of the girls, and Miss Frick
will simply be wild, but we've had
such a jolly time and the colony is
