Colorado Has Great
Hidden Coal Fields

Figures just compiled by the United
states Geological Survey show that
there are more than 1900, 100000 short
tons of coal in the Grand Mesa and
West Elk mountain fields of Colorado.
This quantity is equal to three-fourths
of all the coal mined in the United
states since the inception of the IN

in the ground, makes the quantity Al

Foods That Bind

Good LaxatiOe and Then
Watch Their Diet.

Mothers are often -uncOnsciously very

fact is that all foods do not agree alike
with different persons. Hence, avoid

If the child shows a tendency to con-
stipatiOn il should Immediately be Civ

BY this is not meant a physic or pur-
Sative, for these should never be given
to children. nor anything like salts,
pills, etc. What the child requires is
simply a small dose Of the gentlest of
medicines, such as Dr.. CaldWel's Sy-
rup Pepsin. which in the opinion Of
thousands Of watchful mothers is the
ideal remedy for any child showing
tendency to constipation. So many
things can happen to a constipated
child that care is necessary. Colds,
piles, headaches, sleeplessness, and
many other annOyances that children
should not have can usually be traced
to constipation
Many of Americas foremost families
are never without Syrup Pepsin, be-
cause one can never tell when some
member Of the family may need it. and
all can use it. Thousands endorse il,

The Lesser of Two Evils.

A gentleman from the north was en-.
joying the excitement of a bear hunt
down in Mississippi. The bear was
surrounded in a small cane thicket,
The dogs could not get the bear out
and the planter who was at the head
of the hunt called to one of the ne.
groes:
Sam, &C in there and get the bear
out"
The negro hesitated for "a moment
and then plunged into the cane. A few
moments after the negro, the bear and
the dogs were rolling upon the ground
outside.
After the hunt was over the visitor
said to the negro:
Were you not afraid tx go into that
thicket with that bear?" +

The various tests for color blind

these tests are no longer peculiar to
the laboratory. But 1t is not gener-
ally known outside the laboratory that
chat Is, in certain parts Of the field of
vision. The most normal Individual
can see all the colors only when ne
looks directly at them. If looked at
from an angle OF about fifteen degrees
red and green can no longer be seen,
but in their places win appear shades
OF yellow or blue. This region Of the
eyes is known as the yellow-blue zone.
II the color be moved still farther to
the side the yellow and blue will dis
appear and only gray can be seen.
This region is known as the zone Of
complete color blindness. An inter-
esting theory in regard to these zones
is that every normal y represents
three stages of evolution. The zone
of complete color blindness is the low
est stage, ard appears in such ami

known as shadow vision. The blue
yellow zone is n step higher in the
scale. although not clearly marked

appearance of the red-green zone

Cannon of Solid Rock.

When the island of Malta was under
the rule Of the knights Of st. John
they defended their Notifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one Of these strange weapons con
tanned an entire barrel Of powder, and
as it was not possible to vary the aim
of these cannon SO were made ready,
facing various directions from which
the enemy might approach.
When the fame of these arms of de-
tense became known to the world the
idea was taken up Of transporting
rocks to SUBMITS to serve the same

the story told of the marvellous actions
of a collie. 1t ran like this: Major

ing by his master, on the boulevard
which encircles the lake. Running
ahead, the dog discovered, just beyond
a sharp bend, a giant boulder, which
had been dislodged by the frost and
had rolled down into the road. Quickly
retracing his steps the dog got directly
IN the track of an approaching automo-
bile and barked until the driver brought
the machine to a stop. within two feet
of the boulder, which would have eth
