perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have

FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

1t Is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That Is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in tea.)
There are FIVE children In my fam
ily." writes an Iowa mother, "all OF
whom drank coffee from infancy up
to two years ago.
and were advised to quit coffee. We
did so and began to use Postum. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved of heart trouble.
caffeine causes heart trouble when
continually used as in coffee drink
ing)
Our eleven-year-old boy had weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
crayed and was given coffee. When
we changed to Postum he liked It and
we gave him all he wanted. He has
been restored to health by Postum and
still likes It."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for the little
book, "The Road to Wellville."
Postum comes In two forms:
Regular Postum-must be boiled.
Instant Postum Is a soluble powder,
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in q
cup OF hot water and, with cream and
sugar. makes a delicious beverage

COLORADO PROSPEROUS
REPORT SHOWS STATE BANK DE.
POSTS OF $42yos4,ss1.
Figures Indicates Heavy Increase In
Wealth Due to the Large Crop
Harvested This Year.
w..tern Newspaper union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-The combined resources
Of state and private banks and trust
companies in Colorado are $55,192,-
l00.0S, according to the report of
State Bank Commissioner Pfeiffer on
the condition Of financial institutions
under state control at tie time OF the
last call Of the comptroller Of cur
rency, October 21, 1913.
An increase of s2,5OO,0OO in the re.
sources of the same banks has taken
place since the last previous call in
August.
There was $42,0s4,3s1.41 in deposits
In the 141 state banks, Al private
banks, savings banks and 81 trust
companies at the close of business on
October 81. The figures in the report
bear no relation to the resources of
national banks in Colorado.
With the final beet payments made
by the sugar companies on November
Is and other crop moneys that have
come into the state since the last
week in October, the aggregate de-
posits in the state banks and trust
companies, it is estimated, is now
considerable in excess of the $42,031,-
SS1.41 shown in the bank commission
er's report.
The substantial increase in re-
sources is especially significant of IL
growing prosperity in Colorado when
1t is known that no new state bank
Ing institutions have been opened
since the final report for 1912 was
made. All gains are distributed among
the banks which were then doing busi-
ness in Colorado.
In addition to the s55, 1872, ,40O.OS re-
sources shown in the commissioners
detailed report, there are also re-
sources of s151. 1.O6S.O9 belonging to for
mer loan agents who obtained bank
charters before the passage of the
new banking law by the Legislature
last winter. Commissioner Pfeiffer
has listed these separately.
State to Loan 100000 on Farms.
Denver-The state will have ap-
proximately s2,00o,0OO to distribute in
small loans to owners of unencum-
bered property in and around Denver
after the first of the year, If Volnev
T. Hoggat, registrar of the State Land
Board, gets the approval of scheme
he has in view. A like amount will
be ready to distribute to the other
parts of the state. Only small loans
OF not more than $1,000 can be made
of the money, and it must be made
on unencumbered land. Loans rang.
ing from 800 to $500 are preferable.
For the money the state will secure
six per cent interest, bringing in an
additional income to the state of al
most s25O,O0o a year.

were paid and taxes collected by Les

FILL THE BUTTER MOLD

Butter manufacturers should be
very cautious about molding their
butter. taking great care to packing
the butter solidly into the mold SO
that each pound contains full six
teen ounces, thereby, not only pro-
tecting themselves, but also the
merchant who retails the butter.
A merchant at Firth was recently
fined ten dollars for offering for sale
short weight butter and was absolute
1y innocent so far as his knowledge of
short weight was concerned until the
butter was weighed by the deputy
pure food inspector. There is no
doubt in the mind of the writer but
what the butter makers of the county
would rather have their butter go OF
to the market little over weight than
the fraction of an ounce short; this,
however does not excuse them from
prosecution should they fail through
carelessness to crowd the necessary
sixteen ounces of butter into each
package. II you are not sure your
butter mold is correct as to weight,
weight up several pounds of butter at
one time and be governed accordingly.
