PURITY CONGRESS ADVOCATES
TEACHING OF SEX HYGIENE

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. TO-
Eloquent appeals for the throwing
off of the yoke of false, criminal
modesty which has retarded the work
of bettering the morals of the world
were made today at the fourth days
session of the International Purity
congress, which is holding its seventh
annual meeting here. Speakers
scathingly denounced the opposition
which has developed against instruct
ion in sex matters and hygiene, as
'criminally negligent and inhumane-
ly ignorant" 1t was pointed out
that two classes blind themselves to
the social evil, and oppose any move
ment, which through widest publicity
and statement of facts however much
they hurt is meant to better con-
ditions." The first class, it was de-
clared, are those who "viciously and
immorally fight any movement which
would mean lessening of their sord-
idly secured financial returns" The
second class, it was declared. COM
prise "prudes, supersensitive people
who, in their supreme ignorance and
innocence, refuse to believe there are
scores in every city which should be
treated as SUCH"

such meetings as may Be called, the

such meetings as may be called, the
delegates TO be chosen by the COM
mercial organizations of the various
counties. After short recess the
Silverton delegation reported their
delegates, Dolores and Ouray coun-
ties also naming their representa-
tives. La Plata county was granted
ten days to take up the matter with
the mining committee Of the Board Of
Trade 1t was decided that the sec
retary have no vote at meetings and
the president only in case of a tie
vote ON any proposition.
1t was decided to hold delegate
meeting ut Silverton on Thursday,
the 20th Of November at which time
the delegates were authorized to for
mulate the object and policy Of the
bureau and also such bylaws as may
be considered necessary.
The object of the bureau, in a gen.
erai way, is to devise some plan Of
advancing the mining interests Of the
San Juan district and to concentrate
the efforts of the various counties in
this direction. The Importance Of the
industry was gone over that mining
is large factor in the progress of
the agricultural interests of Ouray,
La Plata, San Miguel-in fact, all the
counties in the district with the ros-
sibie exception of San Juan which
depends entirely on mining and its
adjuncts. Mr.. Pitcher put the mat
ter tersely-that local interests had
to be interested and show by their
faith that mining is as legitimate as
farming with promise of large re-
turns; that il home people did their
part it would be an easy matter to
interest outside capital and thus ele-
vate mining to the position it occu-
pied few years ago.
The business session lasted until
1890. 1t was followed by Dutch
lunch" and then adjournment for
those who desired, to the handsome
Elk club rooms, the Ouray bunch be-
ing hospitable cate, .ainers.
At O'Clock next morning the Sill
yerton-La Plata delegation was home
ward bound, reaching Silverton at ]
in the afternoon.

GERMANY NEXT TO THE
UNITED STATES IN WEALTH

BERLIN, Nov. 10.-Next to the
United States, Germany is the veal
thiest nation in the world in it's ag-
gregate of wealth. Germany's ma
tional wealth, according to DR.. Karl
Hefferich, director of the Deutche
bank, Germany's biggest financial in
stitution, who has just made report
to the kaiser, is between rs billion
and 7S billion. That of the United
States, according to the last census,
is 1875 billions; England 65 billions
and France so billions. Second in
national wealth, Germany, however,
ranks fourth in the per capita wealth
of its population. If all Germany's
wealth were equally distributed each
man, woman and child would have
about $1,l00. In France each would
have 1,425, where the per capita
wealth is highest in the world. Eng
land and the United States dispute
which has the greater per capita
wealth. The English say they could
distribute between 81 $50 and $1,385
to each man, woman and child while
in the United States each would re-
ceive 81 1850.
The annual income of the German
people is given by Hefferich as ap-
proximately S10,O00,OO0. Approx
mately $2,000,0O0 is expended annual
ly for public purposes. The German
people, says Hefferich, save about
one billion dollars annually, which
together with the automatic increased
value of property adds close to three
billion dollars year to the national
wealth in aggregate. Hefferich shows
the kaiser that Germany's wealth has
practically doubled since he ascended
the throne.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. TO-
If Kipling had waited until today to
write that poem in which he made a
lot of women dislike him when he de-
clared,
For a woman is only woman,
But a good cigar is a smoke"
it would have been necessary for him
to replace the cigar with the pipe, to
make it appeal to the average man,
for the Democrats treated the cigar
and cigarette as luxurious. Which
means that instead of reducing inn
port duties on them, they either re-
manned the same or were increased.
My Lady Nicotine received few fav-
ors from the new tariff law. De-
votees of the weed do not stand much
chance of saving any money under the
new law, unless they smoke it in pipe
form. If he smokes a clay pipe, he'll
be able to have more.

feet today. American smokers paid
$6,120,000 last year on this grade of
tobacco. Likewise the old duty Of
35 cents pound on unstemmed filler
tobacco prevails. $17,700,000 "went
up in smoke literally last year, as
the indirect tax" on that article, and
$2,9S5, 900 more in taxes on stemmed
filler.
The Democrats even refused to re-
duce the tariff on snuff. They did,
however, slightly lower the import
taxes on cigar bands, especially the
fancy varieties-which may interest
the label collectors who paste up
vases, jars and ash trays in riot
of labels.
While the new law imposes tax
lower by one half, on cheap clay pipes
the regular penny clay pipes will sell

"HIGH LIVING" COSTS MORE
UNDER NEW TARIFF LAW

(By Bond p Geddes. Written for
the United Press.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 10
Up notch higher, under the new
tariff law, goes the cost of high
living It's going to cost more
and lot more at that-to keep up
the reputation of being a "spender."
From "booze" to bank balances, the
new law hits the pocketbooks of the
giddy, gay, gadabouts. Sprees, it is
declared, will cost as much again, or
more, while the income tax strikes
the bank balances and the better
han-the-average incomes.
"Joy riding" may be some slight
bit cheaper for the man who prefers
foreign built cars. But there are
mighty few spots in the new law
which offer solace and cheer for the
chasers of the bright lights.
For the man who likes the flicker"
the new law promises no financial
relief at the bar. 1t is confidently
believed that the bars where you can
now get 'em two for a quarter will
sell 'em at fifteen cents straight. The
new law retains, and on many items
increases, the duty. The former rate
of $2.60 gallon on brandy, whisky,
absinthe, cordials and liquors is re-
tanned. So is the former duty of
eighty cents quart on champagne.
So also is the old indirect" tax of
forty-five cents gallon on imported
beers, ale, porter and stout. On still
wines, the import tax, which the con-
sumer will have to pay, is slightly in
creased in some instances. About
the only thing that sounds like an
intoxicant and which doesn't carry
the same, or higher, tax is ''bibulous
paper" and that is not thirst
quencher, but stereotyping COM
modify. The Democrats did decrease
the duty on sponges, though, from
twenty to fifteen per cent. No; it's
INV ehaI hiid VI SpoHBc
But the friendly "bar-keep" may
have to economize in keeping the lit
tie china dish at the end of the ma
hogany filled with the breath de-
stroyer," for cloves will cost two
cents pound, and cinnamon chips
one cent pound more, if the new
import tax is tackled on to the retail
price, which it probably will be.
There's one chance, however slight
for the thirsty man, who doesn't have
to have red-eye or kindred strong'ns
By drinking cider, it might be pos
sible to save as much as one-tenth OF
! cent on glass, provided you buy
it in gallon lots and drink it at home
But pity the poor millionaires. In
addition to plastering a fat income
tax on his purse, the new law, in in.
tent at least, boosts nearly every
thing on the high living plane.
Diamonds are up ten per cent. Jew.
elry is up five per cent Silks are
up considerably, and so it goes.
The jolly "joy riders have one
consolation in the reduction by fif.
teen per cent, of the duty on chear
foreign automobiles, which cost less
than $4,000. 1t also provides no ia,
on gasoline. Some more consolation
is that if the poor millionaire" is 6
horse fancier, he can still import
thoroughbreds for his breeding stab
les without one penny of tariff cost
But there is this to be said for
or against-the new law. The tariff
i on chickens has been cut to the limit

For Children there is Nothing Better

A cough medicine for children
must help their coughs and cold
without bad effects on their little
stomachs and bowels. Foley's Honey
and Tar exactly fills this need. No
opiates, no sour stomach, no constt-
pation follows its use. Stuffy colds,
wheezy breathing, coughs and Group
are all quickly helped, and sweet re-
1reshing slumber instead Of feverish
tossing at night. 1t is easy there
lore to understand why an increasing
number of bottles of Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound is sold yearly. s.
