LEPROSY RAPIDLY INCREASING

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Nov.
6.-"Leprosy g. is rapidly increasing in
the United States. Not only the lep-
ers are considerable numerically but
the number of those afflicted is grow
ing rapidly"
William Danner, secretary of the
United States commission of the mis-
sion to lepers made the foregoing
statement in an address here.
Il can tell the American public
many things about this matter" said
he, including the fact that mission
aries can work at will among the lep-
ers without contracting the disease.
The disease is not hereditary, the
proof being found in the fact that
the mission has maintained homes
for untainted children of lepers for
several years and these children are
perfectly normal and healthy.
"There are at present about 1000,
900 lepers in the world. | am glad
to say that, proportionately, Amer
lea has fewer than most countries.
But there are several leper colonies
in the United States and we must
care for them"

NO CHANGE IN WOODMEN
OF WORLD JURISDICTION

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Nov.
G.-There will be no split between the
Pacific and the Sovereign jurisdict-
ion of the Woodmen of the World
The threatened war between the two
big fraternal insurance orders, which
started at the convention OF the form
er here last June has been averted
and there will he no change in ter
ritory covered by the jurisdiction.
The Pacific jurisdiction will operate
exclusively in the nine western states
and the sovereign jurisdiction will
confine it's activities to states east
of Colorado.
Head Consul l. I. Boak and other
officers of the Pacific jurisdiction
have returned from Omaha where
they hold conference with the lead
ers of the other organization. AT
this conference the old agreement
which had been in existence for 20
years was again ratified.

this county there will remain but a
little over fifteen miles to build to
make the connection with the La
Plata county branch near Hamor's
lake, and a few miles between the
junction Of Mineral creek and Chat
tanooga and the surfacing, graveling
and a few culverts on the summit
near Sheridan Junction. The state
has entered into the construction Of
this great scenic road and has put
up its money in good faith with the
understanding and assurances that
counties through which it passes
would also do their share and it is
ready to do its part next year to Sc
cure its completion .and the counties
in which there still remain uncom-
pleted tracts should not fail in carry
ing out their share of the work. The
people of this section of the state
are unanimously in favor of the early
building of this road, and now when
it is possible to obtain state aid we
should not permit the golden oppor-
tunity to fade away like the poets
fairy dreams Silverton Standard.

MILK BAKED CHICKEN

When simmering the stock, add
the back of the chickens to the other
less desirable parts and let this slow
ly come to the boiling point. Then
place the jointed fowls on top, cover
tightly and let cook until almost
done. Now take out and season with
salt and pepper, roll each piece in
flour and lay closely together in a
buttered roasting pan. Dot top with
butterine or a little of the fried out
chicken fat and set in oven until it
begins to brown; then pour one cup
full of stock over top, place back in
oven and add one or two cupfuls of
milk when almost tender. When done
the chicken should be light brown
tinge and the gravy must be rich and
creamy. This can be poured over
the chicken or served separately. A
good accompaniment much liked by
children is celery and bread sauce.

AMERICAN LINE SAILING 10
BRAZIL.

For many years the Stars and
Stripes except as borne by yachts and
men-of-war, have been strangers in
the chief ports of South America. Not
one American steamship service las
been in operation to Chile, Pelu, ~
gentina or Brazil. Our whole ca.-
munication with those important i.t-
in countries has been dependent .i.
our competitors of Europe.
But within few weeks an Amer
lean freighting service has been t.
tablished from New York to Rio ....-
neiro, the great Brazilian port. One
laden steamship has already s4ii.d,
and three more vessels, the steamers
American, Californian and Hawaiian,
are scheduled TO follow, one u III ma.
These vessels belong to the Arn.,i-
can-Hawaiian company. which is aba,
to spare them from lis larg. fl,et,
pending the actual opening OF in.
Panama canal These three steamer.
are all American built, of a fine, rf.
ficient type, distinctly superior 10
the foreign "tramps" that monopoli1e
the most of our South American c.,r-
rying.
1t is reported in New York that the
new American steamship service to
Brazil will have the formidable back
ing Of the United States Steel cor
poration, which is a large shipper OF
its massive products to Brazil and
all the ports of South America. THIS
of itself should prove Il very great
advantage. There have been persist
ent charges that the European ST cam
ship companies, particularly those
operating to Brazil and Argentine,
have made a practice to discriminate
against American trade wherever
they dared. Congress has lately made
a searching investigation of the SUBJ
ject, and these European companies
are now under prosecution in the
federal courts.
All the European nations actively
competing for the export trade of
South America insist on having their
merchandise delivered under their
own colors, in ships owned and con-
trolled by their own manufacturers
and merchants. The value of the ma
tional flag is a proposition which
does not need to be argued in Great
Britain or France or Germany or
Italy. Our own country is the only
country which has continued to trust
its goods to the delivery wagons of
its rivals.-Boston Herald.

A WORD FOR THE LIFE SAVER

For seventeen years two unnamed
women have sent annually $500 each
to the life-saving service to be used
as Christmas gifts for "our friends
along the coast" There is a pathetic
touch to this anonymous appreciation
that is most appealing. Surely moth
ing could be more worthily done.
In this age of large expenditure
the life-saving service remains un-
derpaid. 1t has a class of men who
are unique in their physical powers,
clean living and devotion to duty.
Knowing little of practical politics,
they have never been able to get their
dues from the government, but it is
pleasant to believe that better know
ledge of their worth is gaining hold
in the general consciousness.
One effect of the Panama canal
will be greatly to increase the coast
wise commerce. This means a larg-
err importance to the life-saving SER
vice which guards the coasts. The
unnamed ladies' who send their
Christmas gifts set an example that
should remind congress of its duty.

W. C. FORSYTHE, PIONEER,
PASSES AWAY IN BOULDER

William G. Forsythe, aged 65, a
pioneer of this section, passed away
at the family home, 437 Pine street,
Boulder, Wednesday evening, Novem-
ber 5th, at 10 o'clock.
In the early days Mr.. Forysthe
was a prominent resident of Silver
ton. Later he moved to the Florida
where he took up a ranch, that he
afterward sold to the city for $15,-
900. Ten years ago the family l.
Gated in Durango and erected the
handsome brick residence on Third
avenue, now owned by the I. J. Brad
fords.
Some sixteen years ago, Mr.. For
sythe was stricken with paralysis and
as his condition grew gradually
worse, it was deemed advisable to try
change in altitude, so the family
disposed of their property here and
moved to Boulder, hoping the new
location might prove beneficial But
he grew worse and finally death re-
lieved him of his sufferings. Through
the long years of invalidism he bore
the physical troubles that were his
portion with the utmost patience and
fortitude.
William Forsythe was man who
commanded the highest respect of his
fellow citizens. He is survived by
his wife and two daughters.

HURRAH FOR COL. GAILLARD

Anybody can shout or weep for
war hero. But let's do justice to the
heroes Of peace when they're smitten
down in the service of their country.
Colonel David Du Bois Gaillard lies
near death in Johns Hopkins hospit-
al at Baltimore. He returned the
other day from Panama, victim of
such battle as few Americans have
fought.
Gaillard is the hero of Culebra. 1t
is he who, day by day, for months
and years, has led the fight against
the treacherous landslides that have
been the chief peril in building the
great canal. He was always on the
job personally, by day or right. Slide
after slide swept away tracks, trains
and machinery, and always Gaillard
went back to the battling task, bat
tling with the tropical rains and the
intolerable heat of the sun.
Our statesmen at Washington have
complained bitterly of working at
the capital in the hot season. But
Gaillard, sick and exhausted, toiled
day and night, in climate incompar-
ably more enervating.
Now the Culebra cut is nearly done
and the success of the canal is assur-
ed. And Colonel Gaillards work is
of more value than many great bat
tie where thousands of lives were
lost.-Cleveland Press.

Van Sittart Bowarter, chosen lord
mayor of London, to succeed Sir David
Burnett, will be introduced into of

rigidly observed on this occasion for
the past 200 years. Sir Thomas was

usual ancient formalities. Being the

ARE YOU FIT TO MARRY?

This is a time of strange social
upheaval, says Bailey Millard, in No
vember Technical World Magazine.
Short-haired women and long hair
ed men are shouting from the lecture
platform that practical eugenics" is
the one and only cure for all social
ills, and a great many quiet, we'll
meaning people are being swept off
their feet by these blasts of rhetoric.
But it is to be observed also that
many solid persons still remain
standing.
The radical eugenist intends to car
ry out his work of race redemption
on stock farm plan. He clamors
for scientific mating" and Select
i've breeding" He urges that only
the fit" or the normal shall be
allowed to marry and have children.
Laboratories of eugenics, called
clearing houses for scientific race in
vestigation and Improvement. have
been established in Europe and Am
erica. There is one of these at Cold
Spring Harbor, Long Island, to which
persons about to marry are invited to
apply, giving their family histories
and asking for advice as to whether
they are fit to take the fatal plunge.
Sometimes the wise men of the lab
oratory after carefully scrutinizing
and weighing the data presented, SOL
emnly reply that there is no reason
why certain couple should not mar
ry and raise children; and again other
couples, after their records have been
duly put through the mill, are ad-
vised not to wed. In either case the
couple go right out and get married,
if they feel so disposed, and the pro-
fessor of eugenics has had his labor
for his pains.
Eugenics, as preached by the radi-
Gals, is full of fallacies. In its actual
working out it would not allow par
enthood to as high as three per cent
of the population. If it were a de-
sirable thing to burn down your
hourse in order to smoke out the rats
II would be desirable to fost upon
humanity such laws as these fanatics
propose or as they have actually Sc
cured In some cases.
But no matter If angels fear to
tread upon the holy ground of mar
rage relations, the overconfident ell
genist will rush in and stake Off the
ground and fence it in and put IN
signs of mo Trespassing Save by
the Fit"
After your cold, calculating. ma
terialistic laboratory marriage of the
perfect pair has been solemnized what
assurance have you that they will
have as strong and healthy children
as the village wagonmaker and his
wife? None whatever!
The fact remains that human na-
ture is and always will be human ma
ture and while it is plastic in many
respects there is one subject on which
1T is adamant and that is the curtail-
ment of its inherent rights. One of
these rights is the right of man to
beget his kind.

STRANGE DISEASE ATTACKS

SLIGO, Colo, Nov. Ga strange
disease has attacked the horses in
this vicinity, according to veterin-

attacked the animals earlier in the

sickened horses expressed belief
that they. died from eating too many
potatoes but it has developed that
most of the affected animals never
ate any tubers at all, exploding that
theory.
