MESA COUNTY TREASURER
FILES TAX SALE AFFIDAVIT.

CONSERVATION was thown into the
camp of local abstractors yesterday
when 1t was learned that County
Treasurer Benton Canton filed with
the county clerk affidavits OF publica
ton and posting of notices of delin-
quent tax lists, Since this list con-
tains the description of every piece
of advertised real estate and an alb
stracter certifies to every instru-
ment of record that affects description
of property this will necessarily mean
an additional entry on the abstract
of title to each of these properties.
Consequently it will cost delinquent
owners hundreds OF dollars in Mesa
county. Heretofore this provision of
the statute. which is mandatory. has
not been complied with.
A representative of the Magen-
heimess was instrumental in bringing
this matter to the attention of the
County yesterday and insisted that it
be compiled with. County Attorney
Halderman concurs with the opinion
of the Magenheimer's representative
and has cited numerous decisions of
both the district and supreme court to
uphold his contention. Numerous de-
cisions have been rendered to the eff
feet that unless the provision is fully
compiled with tax sales may be in
validated.-Grand Junction News.

Verdict Rendered in Craig Embezzle-
rment Case After Mid
night Saturday
SONORA GOES TO DEATH CELL
Sentenced to be Hung During Week
Of March II Next at
state Prison.

The jury in the case of Arthur l..
Craig OF Paonia who was charged with
the embezzlement of certain sum of
money from the North FSTk Fruit
Growers association when he was gen
eral manager for that association, re-
turned a verdict for acquittal at about
1 O'Clock last Sunday morning after
being out some five or six hours.
The case was doubles one OF the
most important of the present term
II was also of much general interest
for the court room was crowded ev-
cry day during the entire week which
was given to this one case. Some
twenty or thirty witnesses were here
90 testify in the case. Attorney
ecrump OF Denver and Attorneys Merle
ID. Vincent OF Paonia. and r. IL Walk

defendant
Frederick Sonora. the slayer Of
Bruce Doyle. was taken into the
court room at o'clock last Saturday
sevsninsssna-ssnsepce 20 death up0n
the scaffoid at the state prieon In
Canon City during the week beginning
March IL Sonora accepted the terms
of his penalty with no more apparent
concern than he had listened to the
stories OF his crime as told on the
stand during trial by eye witnesses.
II may have been nerve acquired
a.. hAa
resignation to the inevitable. Ii was
the first death penalty ever imposed
by Judge Shackleford and II was plain
to be seen that the duty was trying
more feeling in the matter than did
the prisoner. Sonora was taken to the
prison on the morning train Sunday
by Sheriff Williams.
Clarence Sucker. convicted OF
house breaking was given term of
from one to two years In the state
prison. and Bowman Littleton. the lad
who took roll OF money from his
employer. F. l.. Ray and entered plea
OF guilty and Claude Ely. convicted OF
theft. were given indefinite terms in
the reformatory at Buena Vista. All
were taken to the prison on Sunday
morning and are now entered upon the
penalties for crime.
Robert Marshall who. by tie way. la
said to be one OF the worst prisoners In
the county jail. charged with forging a
number of checks at Crawford. must
continue to hold his place in a local
cell for his case was necessarily con
tinued to the February term There
were one or two other criminal matters
to come up at this term but carried
over because OF lack of time.
This was Judge Shackleford's last
term in this county and he will doubt
less long remember It as being one OF
his most strenuous sessions. Judge
Black OF Montrose. will preside at the

Maynard.

Dear Doctor:
7 am writing to you to ask you if
you can tell me what the cause and
give me a remedy for a distressing
itching. There is no eruption. 1t
commenced on my back, but now has
moved to other parts Of my body.
1 spend half the night rubbing and
bathing, but can get no relief. An
immediate reply will be greatly ap-
preciated. MRS. E. S.
This severe itching in your case is
undoubtedly caused by a nervous
disorder. It is known under the
name Of Pruritus. Persons frequent
ly suffer from such itching of the
skin without any apparent cause and
it often battles every effort to over
come it. Sometimes it is caused by
tight clothing, woolen or rough gar
ments, harsh soaps, poisonous dyes
in garments, skin diseases, intestinal
and stomach disorders; kidney and
liver diseases.
AS a general rule itching can be
greatly relieved by washing in warm
water containing sulphurate Of not
ash and borax in liberal quantities
Likewise spirits of camphor in a
previously heated mixture Of borax
and glycerine is excellent. Equal
parts Of rose water distilled extract
Of witch-hazel will prove a fine pre-
paration in many cases. Bathing in
warm water should be done frequent
ly but hard rubbing should be avoid
ed.
In many nervous disorders have
found the internal use of Asafotid a
pills or powders Of benefit. Be sure
to keep the bowels freely open.
1t depends very much upon the in
dividual case what further steps
should be taken in order to gain per-
manent relief. The measures men,
toned can all be tried to advantage

THE OUT-OF-DOOR WOMAN.
This is the month of October; are
you women Of the country and coun-
try towns,-yes, and Of the cities
enjoying it9
When you got up this morning did
you notice how fresh and crisp the
air was, and did you dress hurried
ly and get out Of doors and breathe
in deeply once, twice, yes a dozen
times of that crisp, pure air? Did
you7 Perhaps you slept in a closed
bedroom, and got up feeling drowsy,
and more tired than when you went
to bed. Did you? If you did you
dressed slowly and drowsily and
shuffled out to the kitchen and got
q breakfast Of fried meat, fried po-
tatoes, fried eggs and a batch OF
nice greasy gravy, and strong cof-
fee, and you sat down and helped
eat that breakfast before you had
SO much as even stuck your nose ou:
doors. Did you do that? Why did
you do it?
Have you noticed and admired the
beautiful colorings of the foliage
this month? Have you noticed how
beautiful are the late autumn leaves;
the goldenrod, the golden glow and
the hollyhock9 Have you invited
one, or three Of your neighbor wo-
men and made it a party Of four 70
60 to the woods with you and enjoy
the day to its fullest? If you haven't,
do it, not only once, but as often
as you can. Store up little surplu
energy and some pleasant recollec-
ton for the gloomy days that are
coming.
Nature is doing her utmost right
now to make you happy, to show you
that life is worth living, and you have
deliberately and repeatedly turned
your back upon her, have scorned
her advances,-yes, even insulted
her.
Do not deceive yourself with the
idea that you can do this with i'm
purity. Nature is gentle and kind,
and even lavish with her favors, but
she is exacting; even as Shylock will
she demand her pound Of flesh. Ex-
cuses and promises she detests, but
she will harken to the gentle wooing
Of those who know and love her. Now
is the time to make her acquaint-
ance. This will serve you as an in
PRODUCTION; meet her in her magnif-
cent reception room, the out-of-
doors. Health in contrast to wealth,
cannot be inherited, it must be mer~
tied. What have you done to earn
it?
Someone has said: "For the out
of-door woman, October is the
crowning month Of the year. Not to
the woman who must be accompan-
led by fsh-rod or rifle, but to he1
who loves the out Of door world
alone for it's beauties. June is Won
derful with the ripeness Of summer
but October holds the full bloom
glory Of the year, the root Of brilliant
colorings, the bright sun and COO
breeze, the spicy aroma Of matured
fruits and autumn flowers.
Now have arrived these mystics
hazy days when barred windows
cannot shut out the brightness of tn;
October world. Now the nature
loving woman Of all ages dons {
short skirt and stout shoes and walk
forth on the city pavements
but out into the country. Every wo
man knows the joyous freedom O.

your advice.
MRS. L. r.

There are two or three thing.
mentioned in your letter which lead
me to believe that you failed to men,
ton all of your symptoms, for that
reason I am writing you a personal
letter and asking you to give mc
your symptoms in detail. The fact
that you are constipated, easily tired
would indicate that your food is not
properly digested and assimilated.
Your cold hands and feet indicate
the same as well as a weak condi-
ton. Your falling hair and relaxed
pores on face and chest indicates
poor nourishment and a relaxed
fabby condition Of the skin. In
Vol. No. of the club books there
are many chapters on foods, their
values, and preparation and so forth.
There are also chapters on "diet."
This book would be worth many times
it's price to you. Vibratory stimula-
ton would be most excellent in your
case. Without going into detail T
will say that I have written you pri-
vately.

at liberty at all times to write for in

PRIZES FOR kEATNEss
Public Improvement Committee of
Commercial Club Announce
Prizes for 1912. 49,.

The Public Improvement Commit
tee Of the Commercial Club held :,
meeting last Thursday evening, -,
which they decided on the prizes for
the best kept premises in the resi-
dence portion Of the city during the
months Of June, July, August and
September. It was decided to divide
the $4,000 equally among the four
wards Of the city, $3.50 in each
ward: first prize, $500; second
prize, $3.50; third prize, $3.50;
fourth prize, $3.50.
The prizes were based on five feat
ures; flowers and shrubs, lawn and
trees, boulevard and street adjoining
back premises and general appear
ance. The contests in former years
have been very successful and have
contributed great deal towards i'm
proving the appearance of the city.
The names Of the prize winners arc
as follows:
FIRST WARD.
LIST prize, J. B. Boyd; End prize,
Chris Peterson; 3rd prize, I. T..
Cramer; 4th prize, DR.. J. R. Peter
sen.
SECOND WARD.
LIST prize, H. P. Jorgenson; End
and 3rd nrize divided equally be-
tween Ole Lien and Olof Brogrsn; !;
4th prize, Mrs. Hu]da Nelson.
THIRD WARD.
LIST prize, L. A. Tjosvold; End
prize, S. B. Qvale; 3rd prize, S. s..
Glarum; 4th prize, Edward Borgan.
FOURTH WARD.
list prize, Anders Jonson; End
prize, Oscar Sattergren; 3rd prize,
Nels Peterson; 4th prize, Mrs. c..
Freeberg.
In each ward there we're at least
half dozen or more who came with
in few points Of scoring as high as
the prize winners.
Ole Lien and Olof Brogren in Sec
ond Ward we're a tie and it was de-
cided to divide the award equally
between them or $500 to each.
The committee would suggest for
the coming year the more general
planting Of trees on the boulevards
especially in front of public build
ings, as we'll as residences, and that
all trees be planted at least Is or 80
feet apart and that no trees be- plant
ed except those that are hardy and
free from diseases-such as elm,
ash, basswood, American linden and
! ample trees. They would also recon-
mend that early in the coming year
arrangements be made to purchase
1000 hardy shade trees at wholesale
prices and that they be furnished to
those wishing to plant them at cost
prices.
We would also call attention to
the dead and half dead trees, es.
pecially box elders, in different parts
of the city. They ought to be or
dered cut down and removed as they
are only an expense and nuisance.
We think that everything ought to
be done to improve the main streets
leading into the city. East Litch'
field Avenue, which is a main thor
oughfare leading in and out Of the
city, has not been in good condition
all the year and we think can be
greatly improved by little exertior
on the part Of the City Council ano
property owners. The soil is heavy
and after a heavy and continuous
rain it becomes difficult to drive ov.
er. By applying a good coat of gray
ell another year and having the stree
put to grade, it would become much
more serviceable and save many hare
words from chauffeurs and others.
