Those who go away for vacation
should not get the idea that everything in
summer resort or strange city is neees-
sarily pure and wholesome. The danger
of typhoid fever in country resorts is
very great. Many of the cases of typhoid
fever recorded in the fall in cities where
the water is pure had their origin in water
or contaminated substances drunk or eat
en- at some summer resort. Insist on
boiled water. If you absolutely cannot
get boiled water. make very sure about
the reputation of springs. wells. or tap
water. Refuse absolutely to take any
water that comes from source near an
clubhouse or stable. or in neighborhood
where fever is at all prevalent.
Boiled water can be made just as
palatable as unboiled water. The fiat
taste which boiled water has soon after
it has been boiled is due to the fact that
boiling drives out of it the air which it
held in solution. II the water after boil
ing is put in soalded shallow open pans
and allowed to stand for "a hours where
flies or dirt cannot get at 1t. it will regain
its air and have its usual taste restored

Finally. it is particularly important in
summer that people should not be misled
into believing that the label Guaranteed
under the Food and Drugs Act on cans
and packages means that the govern
ment has tested these foods and pro-
nounced them pure and desirable, The
government does not make the guarantee.
The guarantee is made wholly by the
manufacturer, and means no more than
when your own corner grocer guarantees
that the sugar he weighs out for you is
all right. Examine goods labeled 'guaran-
teed' just as carefully as any other
kind"

The products which are to win

are watched and the products to

DROWNED IN CALIFORNIA
Body of Former Rocky Ford Man
Found in River


On Friday last the body of an unknown
man was found in the river at Monrovia,
Calf. and upon being taken to the morgue
the only mark of Identification that could
be found was travellers tag, such as is
issued to policy holders by the United
States Casualty Co.
Upon communicating with the head office
of the company in New York. it was
found that the policy bearing tie same
number as the key ring tag. had been is
sued by their Rocky Ford agent, Mrs.
Mary j. Anderson. and through her it
was learned that the drowned man was
J. R. Cress.
Last fall. after some domestic trouble,
J. R. Cress disposed of his boarding
house in the western outskirts of this
city. and after dividing the proceeds with
his wife. they separated, Mrs. Cress leav-
ing at once for California. Shortly after
ward Mr.. Cress also departed for Cali
fornia, and nothing further had been heard
from him until this week.
As no particulars have been received,
it is not known whether the drowning
was suicidal, accidental or the result of
foul play, but it is thought likely that he
took his own life in fit OF despondency

PITCHERS HARD HIT
Rocky Ford Loses TO the Zoos In a
Suggest at Colorado Springs

Rocky Ford journeyed up to Colorado
Springs last Sunday and suffered defeat
at the hands of the Zoo team, the score
being 2 to 8,
About the only feature of the game
was the hard hitting of both teams, all
the twirlers being treated shamefully.
Bernard started on the hill for the To-
Gals but was wild and in hole every in
ning,and was relieved by Hall in the fifth.
Bud was hit with great freedom by the
Zoos. and after two innings of terrific
bombardment, was relieved by Ray in the
seventh, who held the enemy scoreless
the rest of the way.
Hastings was also batted hard through
out the game. and. with any kind of effee-
tive pitching, Rocky Ford would have
romped home an easy winner.
Hoover showed up good behind the bat.
and his hitting was feature, four hits
out of five trips to the plate being his
record.
Following IS the box score and sum-

THIS CITY GETS NEXT MEETING
Letter Carriers of Rocky fountain
District Meet Here In 1914

W. o. johnson, one of our efficient force
of mailmen, on Sunday attended the
annual convention of the Rocky Mountain
district of the National Association of
Letter Carriers, which was held in Colo
RADIO Springs, and on his return spread
the good news that he had landed the
next convention of the association for this
city.
The Rocky Mountain district is compos-
ed of the states of Colorado, Utah,
Wyoming. New Mexico and Arizona. and
it has heretofore been customary for the
association to meet in the larger cities, so
Rocky Ford may feel especially honored
that this little city was designated as the
meeting place in 1914. thanks to the
energetic work of our representative
Otto Johnson-who was also honored by
being elected member of the executive
boatd.
In Difference to the wishes of Mr.. John
son the date of next years convention
was set for the latter part of August,
when our letter carrier guests may have
the supreme pleasure of tickling their
palates with genuine Rocky Ford canta-
ioupes of most luscious flavor

KEEPING FOOD
IN SUMMER.

Washington D. c.. July 1.-The De-
partment of Agriculture today issued
the following practical suggestions in re-
gard to keeping food and drink in hot
weather. with view to helping the pub
lie to avoid sickness from eating spoiled
articles of diet:
"While people should be careful about
the condition of the food thsy eat at all
seasons of the year, they should be par
tioularly watchful during the summer
months. In hot weather bacteria null
tiply far more rapidly than in cold
weather. and produce chemical changes
in some foods which greatly leasen
their nutritive value and often make
them unfit for human consumption.
Unfortunately. there is no quick, absolute
simple, practical way Of determining the
presence of hurtful bacili in foods. or of
obtaining positive evidence of the existence
OF ptomaines. The average family does not
have the delicate apparatus needed for
these tests, nor the skill to detect these
micro organisms.
The housewife will find eyes and nose
the safest practical detectives Of bad food
in hot weather. If any article has any
suspicion Of an unusual odor or looks
abnormal. it should be advoided. People
| eating in doubtful restaurants should be
particularly careful about meats or fish
cooked with highly spiced or aromatic
sauce which might disguise bad taste or
warning odor. Only sweet smelling.
clean food should be eaten. Spotted,
green, Shiny. or frothy raw meat. or meat
which is soft in spots also should be re-
garded with suspicion. Taste of course
is supplementary test, but one to be used
after eyes, nose, and fingers. A mother
before she allows her child to eat any
thing, should examine it carefully in a
good light. smell it, and finally taste it.
milk particularly deteriorates rapidly
under summer heat, especially if it already
contains bacteria. Housewives. therefore,
should see to it that their milk after being
left by the milkman does not stand for
any length of time on hot back porch or
stoop before it is put in the ice-box. Milk
bottles should be kept closed, both in the
ice-box and out of it. If there is any
doubt at all as to the excellence of the
local milk supply. pasteurize all milk.
"All foods should be kept covered or
wrapped. and always out Of the reach of
flies, which are deadly carriers of typhoid,

products accordingly. Not infre-

PROFITS ON FART PRODUCE
To be Investigated by Department OF
Agriculture Specialists

Washington, D. c., July lit is an
nouneed that the Department of Agricul-
ture, through its Office of Markets, will
shortly begin through study of what
happens to produce from the time it leaves
the producer until it reaches the oonsum-
er. A specialist on marketing perishable
produce will investigate prices received
by producers. cost of transportation and
storage, change of ownership, aocumulat-
ed charges. profits, and other elements.
This specialist will then study conditions
in1 various sections to determine the
feasibility of market news service DEAL
ing with perishable products, and also
the best method OF making statistics of
supply and demand useful to the farmer
or truck gardner.
Other specialists will give attention to
studying cooperative organizations of
producers and consumers, including CO.
operative marketing associations of
farmers and buyers. cooperative stores.
etc. They will make intensive studies OF
typical communities dealing with special
products, and will assist in the formation
of new cooperative enterprises. An ex-
pert in cooperative accounting will assist
such organizations to keep their books
and records effectively. establish cost
systems. and follow up methods of hand
ling goods en- route and on sale.
Cooperating with the other inyestiga-
tors will be specialists in transportation
men who have had as much railroad
shipping experience as division freight
agents-who will assist producers in sec
uring proper freight rates. and will dis
cuss questions of extending facilities,
determination OF rates. routing, and other
matters concerned with the speedy and
cheap moving Of produce to centers OF
wholesale and retail demand.

ROCKY FORD. COLORADO, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1913
DROWNED IN DYE LAKE
Tommy Faires Steps Into Outlet
Channel While Wadlng, Life Ex-
tlnct When Body Recovered


While waiing along the shore
of Dye lake on Sunday afternoon.
Tommy Faires = the 14-year-old
son of 7. j. FARES, the contractor
stepped into the outlet channel
of the lake, which at this point is
from II to Is feet deep, and being
unable to swim drowned before
his would-be rescuers could lend
him any assistance.
Riding out to the lake upon a
bicycle, in company with his cous-
in, Arthur Lambert, a man about
30 years of age-the boy went
wading with some other small boys
while his cousin went fishing in
the lake with an older companion.
Along about 3 o'clock the young
men were alarmed by the shouts
of alarm of small boy and hurry
ing to his side they were Mortified
to see little Tommy FARES sink
from sight out in the channel.
Before the panic-stricken cousin
could recover from his stupefac-
ton boatload of young men from
this city-Hunter Cover, Hamer
Culp, Arthur Harms and John
Jackson-had been attract ed to
the place by the boys cries, and
learning from him about the place
that Tommy h ad disappeared,
they at once began diving to try
and rescue the lad. After a few
minutes they were joined by the
cousin, whose first dive proved
successful, and in very short
time the inert body had been con-
veyed to shore, where every effort
was made to restore respiration,
without avail. Efforts to in
duee artificial respiration we're con-
tinted until after the arrival OF
DIR. Pollock, who reached the scene
in about Is minutes, but careful
examination convinced the physi-
clan that life was extinct and
under his instructions the body OF
the little fellow was loaded into
Culp's auto and brought to the
1hompson-C -Claypool undertaking
paIlors. -.
Efforts were at once begun by
Acting Coroner Thompson to gel
into communication with Mr.
Faires, who had left last week fol
st. Louis to join his wife and make
an extended visit tn rough the
East.
Not until Tuesday night was Mr.
Faires reached with news of the
terrible accident that had resulted
In the death of his son. AT that
time a message was received from
Chicago that he and Mrs, Faires
were leaving for heme right away,
and funeral arrangements will
therefore be postponed until their
arrival.

How TO Discern the Voice of the
Spirit!" was the subject of Miss Gray's
address and the theme of the open dis
cussion that followed.
To deliver oneself freely to the
guidance of Infinite Truth. stilling all
desires save that of moving in harmony
with Infinite Love and Wisdom, and
fearing. nothing doubting-these I are
the ways in which to open the inner ear
that II may hear. Reason can only
consider known facts in drawing
conclusion-and as all the facts cannot
be known to finite mind conclusions SO
drawn. be they ever so logical, must
often fail to deliver the truth. Only
can we be sure of walking in paths
of wisdom-which Is more the knowl-
edge.
"By their fruits We shall know them,
and by a definite sense OF peace, Joy,
and love, the fruits of the spirit, we
can tell that the spirits voice has been
discerned, and tell IL from the voice
OF desire. impulse. or reason. Lives
so ordered have unity-like an army
moving under the direction of a gem
cral who knows the whole plan-when
desire and Impulse rule, II Is as though
each soldier were moving independent
