Especial Correspondence OF The Argus.)
Denver, Feb. lido Colorado wom-
en- drink more highballs than men?
This interesting question has raised
endless discussion in this state during
the last week or two and no small
amount OF bitter feeling. 1t ell start
ed when Senator Hecker got up in
the legislature and declared positive
ly and uneQuivocally that the women
Of Colorado do drink more highballs
than men.
Then up rose Mrs. Helen Ring Rob
inson. also a member Of Colorado's
dignified upper legislative chamber.
and declared just as positively and
just as uneQuivOCally that women do
net drink as many highballs as men.
Furthermore, she gave notice to Sena-
tor Hecker that should he again assail
Colorado womanhood by publicly de-
claring in the senate chamber that
the women Of this state drink more
highballs than the men, she would
feel it her painful duty to move for
his expulsion from the senate.
There may be one place in all
Denver" said Mrs. Robinson in her
little speech, where the statement
which he tHeCker) makes is true. 1t
may be that in the street of forbid
den things, prostitute women do in.
deed drink more cocktails than even
the prostitute men.
But, however that may be, I pro
test that If the senator from the First
| (Hecker) gamers his information
from the murk and slime OF such
places he has no right TO use It as a
means OF libeling my sisters and your
wives and daughters
81 protest against such a statement
being allowed TO pass unchallenged
And II ever again during this session
Of the general assembly he dares &c
attack the womanhood Of Colorado.

Men die because they know not
what to eat
Some vegetables are perfect meat
foods, such as wheat, rice, barley,
cats, corn, also nuts, split peas. dried
beans, cheese. lentils, macaroni, eggs
and milk. raisins, dates, figs and ban
anas. These, however, must be serv-
ed in the proper amount, as too much
meat or too much heterogeneous foods
OF any kind, peas, beans, etc, require
the liver to overwork, creating the
necessary bile in order TO work the
waste from out of the system.
Most people consume as much en-
ergy in getting rid of worthless food
as they do in hard days labor Re
member, as We grow older. no useless
working Of the machinery should be
allowed.
1t is also most important to have
all foods properly combined, so l am
adding some menus using vegetables
to take the place of meat and the
salads and desserts, which combine
well with them. These l have taken
from my booklet on Right Living

BAFFLED THE INDIANS.
An Old Army Paymaster's Safe That
Was Apache Proof.


Years ago in the west. when the gov
eminent sent out safes for the use Of
its army paymasters in remote dis
tricts. IL was the custom for the pay
master in cavalry service to ride in an
ambulance with the safe. escorted by
q guard OF six mounted men.
On one occasion such a guard was at
tackled by a large force of Apache In
dams. Two men were killed. and the
Indians captured the ambulance with
the safe. This safe contained about
$1,000 in greenbacks, and 1t weighed
some 400 pounds and had a combina-
ton lock.
Now. the Indians in question had
never seen a safe at close quarters
until this one happened along. but they
knew that II contained money; also
they wanted that money
They first pounded of the knob with
stones. under the impression that the
door could then be pried open Their

sonally agreeable. Haste in Mr.. Taft's
case involved him at the outset in the
appointment of Mr.. Knox, who at the
moment was legally disqualified, and
in such blunders as that of Ballinger.
We hope that Governor Wilson will
take plenty of time for his cabinet
making. 1t is an important duty. 1t
is likely to affect the whole course of
his administration. 1t is easier by de-
liberation to avoid blunders now than
it will be later by repentance to re-
pair them.

In the matter of neighborhood

neutrality. So far as the Herald
is concerned and knows, both
sides may be right or both sides
may be wrong. Even if the
Herald were the court in the
case, it would have the decency
to withhold it's decision till after
the trial; and as it isn't the
court in the case, it leaves such
matters with the court for ad
judication. In the case of Chase
