The presbytery of Denver met in
its mid-winter sessions last Tuesday
at the South Broadway Presbyterian
church. The pastor and Elder Don
Reeves represented the Peoples
church. Rev. Thos. HAZEL was ap-
pointed member of the committee
on narrative for presbytery. The
evangelistic committee produced a
splendid program for the days work.
Born-To Mr. and Mrs. Clarence
Collier, son, Tuesday night, a week
ago. Both mother and son are getting
along fine.
Miss Bertha Striplin, Sabbath
school teacher and our organist, is
sick in bed. A rapid recuperation of
Miss Striplin and Mrs: Westbrook is
the prayer of the church.
Parlor socials next Tuesday night
will take place at 1928 Ogden and
1853 Marion, under the respective
management of Mesdames Laura Hill
and James Clarke. The membership
is asked to respond to the claims of
the captains to the best of their abil-
ity. Our intention is that our report
for the years work shall eclipse all
past years work. This can be done
by every member acquitting himself
as becometh a Christian in Christ's
cause.

only. Here was a puzzle which even his shrewd-
could not solve. The coins were silver and
of full weight, and in that day silver was OF
sufficient intrinsic value to make 1t useless for
anyone to make counterfets out of the pure
metal Mowers searched for another week. but
found more coins. He then showed the re-
suit of his labor to nelghbors and to some people
in the city of Chicago. He said nothing about
where he had discovered the treasure. Shortly
afterward however. man offered him 500 for
the secret. and though Mowers told him that
the place probably worked out the Of.
fered the money. said he would take the chance.
and the offer was accepted. The purchaser
never found anything and gave up the labor In
disgust
1t long before the story OF the place
where the coins had been picked up became gen.
orally known and the people focked to the blur
and to the beach marking the site of the lost
town. They dug. searched and prospected with
all the ardor of Klondikers. but the sole result
a gold piece of the value of $780, which
boy picked up from the wake of retreating

ers found is now in the possession of man

of the money in the place. The theory that 1t

John is said to be hardly tenabe, because the

make them careless OF valuables
There is metal which the prospector may

The trunks and branches of both OF them are

CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP OF FIGS
It is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them. how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" Its
action is positive. but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup Of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
Of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

GOOD MEN ARE DISSATISFIED

So you feel that you're failure

Buck up. brother! That's the way
all good, go-ahead men feel some
times!
If they weren't dissatisfied with
their performances as well as their
promises, they'd be trotting around in

rot, If anyone asks you.
A certain amount of self-dissatisfac-

as you, then is the time for the doc

HAIR MEANS
DANDRUFF is ACTIVE
Save Your Hair! Get 25 Cent Bottle
of Danderine Right Now-Also
Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin. brittle. colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing SO destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
II not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is SO beautiful. 1t will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance; an incompatible
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most will be after Just a
few weeks use, when you will actual

ALCOHOL ANp.eFFIcIeNcY.

Temperance work today is very
practical as compared with the senti-
mental exhortations of yesterday. In
these days. when efficiency is SO
general a watchword in the world of
business and labor. we are finding not
SO directly that man is a knave who
drinks to excess, or even at all. as that
he is a fool. A runner who ties a
weight about his leg is no greater
Ounce than the workingman or the
merchant who puts a dram of liquor
into his digestion or his brain. 1T
is capable of proof by figures and di-
agrams that the drinker of even an
occasional glass of wine or beer or
whisky Injuries the work OF both his
hands and his mind. while the habitual
drinker sows up his mental and man
ual machinery permanently. This is
the gospel of the new temperance
movement.-New Vienna Reporter.

WHEN MILWAUKEE GOES DRY"

WHEN MILWAUKEE, GOES DRY"
The following facts concerning the
liquor industry In the beer-ridden city
of Milwaukee are Of interest. They
are taken from the chapter on so
cialism and the Liquor Traffic" In a
volume by Alfred Raymond Johns.
Amount of capital invested in
liquor making. s51.OOO.oO; number of
men employed, 4.755; value of the
product paid out in wages. 6.6 per
cent. Amount of capital invested in
all other industries. $1S5. .35s.011; num-
ber of men employed. 104.4e1; value
of the product paid out in wages.
S4.8 per cent.
With more than one-fifth of the
total capital invested. the liquor in.
terests employ fewer than one-twen-
ty-third the number of men and pay
less than one-fifth the per cent in
wages. In other words. If the $751;
100000 now invested in liquor-mak-
ing In Milwaukee were transferred to
some other line of industry, the city
would be employing $4,000 more men
and be receiving more than $20,000.-
600 per year in wages. when MIL

then will the city really prosper.

DIFFERENT

il appears to one living in this
country that the women of England
who are fighting, and fighting is the
proper word, for the right to vote
would take a hint from the methods
used by the women Of the United
States.
In England they have gained moth
ing and, in fact, have discredited the
move, while in the United States,
where all effort has been put into ar,
guments and advertising, there are a
number of states where the women
vote and more where they will vote
in a few years, as the result of move
ments started within the last six
months.
In ENGLAND they have V @ gone to
the extreme of using dynamite.
Throwing stones, burning mail, paint
ing gate posts and other halloween
tricks are common occurrences and
all done with the idea that they can
force parliament to give them a vote.
1t Is time some of the suffrage lead
ers from this country %journeyed
across the water and put their Eng.
fish sisters on the right road. 1t is
true that conditions are different
there than here, but it does not ap-
pear that any person car imagine
their present tactics will get them
anywhere. About the only solution to
the problem OF why is that the
movement across the water is being
less by a lot of notoriety seekers.
Contrast their methods with the dig
nifed' manner in which the campaign
on before the legislature in North Da-
for votes for women" was carried
kota.
