Denver May AFTER a conference
with Governor Ammons, the appropria-
tions committee of the House of Rep
resentatives agreed to fix the amount
of bonds for payment of militia eX-
penses in the coal strike at s1,000,000,
which is S250,000 more than the esti-
mate of the expenses already entailed
by the National Guard in coal strike
duty.
The additional $250,000 would pro
vide for expenses of the militia If it
should be ordered out, according to
Governor Ammons.
Representative TAFT of Denver intro
duced in the House of Representatives
resolution instructing the State
Land Commission to take immediate
steps to terminate leases of state coal
lands and to prepare for the states
operating it's own coal mines, employ
ing therein only citizens of the United
States or those who have declared
their intention to become citizens.
The House adopted resolutions
thanking Governor Ammons for de-
manding federal troops for strike
duty and also thanking President Will
son for sending the soldiers.
Ardourel introduced a bill providing
that all expense of maintaining the Ma
tional Guard on strike duty shall be
paid from revenue derived from an in
come tax, the tax to range from l to .
per cent on incomes above $4,000. 1t
is estimated by Ardourel that, under
his bill, the tax on the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Co. would be 100000, and
on the Victor-American and Rocky
Mountain Fuel Companies, $4,000
each.
The judiciary committee of the Sen
ate voted to recommend Indefinite
postponement of the bill, drafted at
the instance of Governor Ammons, for
the creation of state constabulary.
The bill was so drastic that no mem
ber of the committee would agree to
sponsor it. A less rigid bill on the
same subject may be introduced, but
legislative prophets predict it also Will
be killed.

SpOngy Gums.

Gums that bleed easily are
cause of great annoyance to many
people. The condition is some
times the result of cause so inno-
cent as 4 toothbrush that is too
stiff, but it is occasionally a symp-
tom of a serious disorder, OF a sign
of grave local trouble; so 1t is always
wise to have the true cause deter
mined, in order to give that the pro-
per treatment.
Bleeding gums are one of the
signs of scurvy-a dreadful dis
ease, of which, happily. we hear
less now than in the days when
men had to take long voyages on
sailing ships and could not sc, fresh
food. Mild cases of it are found
among children who have been fed
on condensed milk only. AS soon
as these children are given a proper
diet with fresh milk, the gums cease
to bleed and grow hard again.
Many other constitutional disorders
besides scurvy cause bleeding gums,
but most cases are owing to local
conditions, and need to be treated
by the dentist rather than by the
doctor. If your gums bleed be-
cause you have discarded soft
toothbrush for a stiff one, you can
relieve the trouble by mouth wash
of salt and water, or by putting a
little myrrh IN the water. If, never
theless, the gums continue to bleed,
visit the dentist at once, for spongy
gums soon cause loose teeth. In
many cases he will find suppuration
round the sockets of the teeth or
between them.
1t is possible tor that to be the
case, although the teeth themselves
show no sign of disease. 1t can
even happen to the most cleanly
people, for the brush even when
conscientiously used, will not reach
the affected spot. If neglected. the
condition Is sure to lead to trouble,
because the patient constantly swal-
lows the poisons that are formed, to
the detriment of his digestion and
his general health.

SECTIONS OF HOMEMADE
FLY TRAP.

A letter arriving at the same
time from one Of the department
farm demonstration agents eX-
plains how similar traps are be-
ing made in that section at
cost of from 10 to 20 cents, and
have proved a most success
ful aid in the work Of home SAN
itation Throughout that section.
The trap has been baited and
tried cut with success in the de-
partment.
These traps can be made any
size to suit" says the depart
ment's agent, but the most
popular size in my work is 16
inches long. II inches high and
s inches wide. | also make
some as large as q inches long
16 inches high and II inches
wide. The material for these
traps cost from 10 to 20 cents,
and can be put together by any
one handy with tools in a short
while" The trap may be baited
with sour milk, piece of ba-
mana, a fruit skin, or similar
substance. This should be re-
moved at night or it will attract
ants. At the same time. the
flies which have been caught
should be killed by pouring hot
water over the trap or leaving
it immersed in water until the
flies are dead.
The fiytrap is made in three
distinct parts CA, B, and @
that may be detached from one
another by unfastening the
hooks I'D that hold them to-
gether at each end. The trap
is unlocked in order to place
the bait on the bottom section
(c). The bait is placed on two
pieces of tin (e) tackled to this
bottom section. In the sample
trap, that was forwarded the
department these pieces of tin
were circular tops of paint or
milk cans, which can be removed
by prying up with a knife.
The middle section (B) of the
trap consists of a screen
covered frame that resembles a
small gable roof through
which there are six holes (f) to
let the flies into the uppermost
section (A) which is merely the
screened-in cage that is set
down over the other two parts
(B and c.
The handle (h, of course is
unnecessary, but will be found
convenient when the trap is
immersed in water to kill the
flies.

Washington.-Gener Huerta has
authorized the Mexican mediation
delegates to submit his resignation, In
case such a course is found necessary
to settlement in peace negotiations.
This was stated positively In dis
patches from thoroughly competent
one of the foreign representatives
here and confirms intimations given
by friends Of the delegates here.
According to this information from
Mexico City General Huerta at first
authorized the delegates to discuss
only the question Of the Tampico con-
flict leading to the American occupa-
ton of Vera Cruz. Later the Mexican
dictator, it is explained, came to rec
ognize the necessity of a broauer set
tlement. and then conveyed to the
delegates assurances that he was pre-
pared to step down should this course
be found necessary by them.
The problem causing chief concern
to diplomats in Mexico City now is
that of the form of administration to
be established during the interregnum
before constitutionally elected prest
dent could assume office. No intima-
tions concerning the name Of a possi-
BILE successor to Huerta were con-
tanned in the dispatch, this subject be-
ing one in which it would be neces-
sary to consult the opinion of Con-
stitutionalists and other leaders in
Mexico.
Supreme Court Justice Lamar and
Frederick w. Lehman. who will rep
resent the United States at the Peace
Conference at Niagara Falls, Ontario,
left Washington Tuesday morning.
"The Huerta delegates never will
agree to the selection for provisional
President of any of the Constitution
alist military men," said man who
had long talk with the Huerta rep
resentatives here.
"They want some one, however, for
provisional President who will guar
antee fair election to all parties con-
cerned, and who has not been a mill
tary partisan"
This view .coincided with that OBJ
tanned from other persons who had in
formal talks with the Huerta dele
gates here. The three Mexicans did
not divulge the nature Of their long
conference with Huerta before their
departure.

be dismissed as an emotional crusad-
