A TIMELY WARNING

We call the mine owners and
business mans attention to a matter
pretaining to the several deep DRAIN
age tunnels that penetrate cur great
and rich fissure veins from Central
City, to the county line at the SOUTH
ward, and whose portals are at Idaho
Springs.
Some of these tunnels have pene-
trated to and connected with such
well known mines as the Old Town,
Gunnell and others, that have en-
ployed hundreds of men in the past,
and produced millions of dollars in
gold. These tunnels cut our mines
at 1000 feet in depth and reveal
large and rich bodies of ore.
Where once the collar of our
shafts resounded with revolving
wheels of industry, as they lowered
hundreds Of men each morn into the
bowels of mother earth there to send
aloft the golden wealth that builds
towns, cities and counties, are now
as silent as the pessimist who sits
idly by and bemoans his fate. The
unbroken ground frCm tunnel to sur
face is undoubtedly as rich as that
found at the tunnel level. and whose
product would enrich the county
many hundred fold, if hoisted to the
surface within our borders.
Poor Richard" the famous phil
osopher has set down a maxim that
has been the successful mans guide
for century. "He that by the plow
would thrive, himself must either hold
or drive" We must drive our shafts
down through this body of immense
wealth, connect with these tunnels
for drainage, hoist our ores, and sup
ply the labor frcm our own county
that will enrich us many-fold. We
give each a warning that unless tt ey
arouse themselves to the fact that
We are without any effort on our
part, allowing our wealth to drift into
other counties to the detriment of us
all. We ask and implore the busi-
ness men to assemble and devise
ways and means to successfully
handle this question before it is too
late.

Mustard an Ancient Remedy.

Mustard is one of the most ancient
of medicines. Pythagoras, who -four
ished between 500 and 600 years be.
fore Christ, mentions it. Hippocrates,
who was born in 400 B. c., employed
it. Pliny the Elder. writing in n A. D.,
describes three different kinds OF
mustard. and says the seeds were
imported to Italy from Egypt origin
ally.
The Romans used it as a stimulant
after a cold bath; they mixed mustard
oil and olive oil Il equal parts and
used this as linirnent tor stiffness of
the muscles. They knew the virtues
of mustard poIltices and of mustard
as an emetic. AS a remedy for the
stings of scorpions and serpents, they
pounded it. mixed it with vinegar and
applied il to the wound
They also made a drink out of it,
fermenting the seed in a fiery spirit.
The liquor thus produced they called
mustum ardens, which means burn
ing wine. The word mustard is prob
ably derived from this.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Keep posted concerning the condi-
ton and health Of hogs on your neigh
bors' farms, advises the department
OF agriculture. Sick hogs on neigh bor-
ing farms are a positive menace, for
the germs of hog cholera are easily
carried on the feet of men or animals.
Look over your herd regularly In or
der that any sick hogs may be prompt
ly discovered.
If any hogs in the herd are found to
be off feed" or appear in anywise
sick, separate them Immediately from
the remainder Of the herd, and keep
them and the main herd under close
observation daily. If there is ten
dency for the disease to spread in the
herd the trouble is probably hog ohol-
era. This diagnosis may be confirmed
by killing one of the sick animals and
examining the organs in the manner
described in Farmers Bulletin 37a of
the department.
When the first symptoms of sick
ness are observed an immediate
change of feed sometimes corrects
the trouble. This is particularly true
OF swill fed hogs. If there is any
tendency for the disease to spread in
the herd do not temporize, but imme-
diately treat the herd with serum from
the state college or state live stock
sanitary board. Prompt administra-
ton of the serum is essential to sue
cess.
Remember that hog cholera kills
millions of hogs where other diseases
kill thousands. Dismiss from your
mind all thought Of such diseases as
lung plague" infectious pneumonia"
pig typhoid" for these are generally
merely fanciful designations given to
hog cholera by uninforIned men.

the winter months than later when
they have left their winter quarters.
The burning of dry grass, leaves and
rubbish along the margin of woods and
fields Is the best method of destroying
the pest during winter weather.
The chinch bug is distributed gen.
orally throughout the United States
except in the extreme West. and has
caused particular damage to the staple
grains throughout the Middle west.
The greatest losses from the insect
have been In Ohio Indiana, Kentucky,
North Carolina, Missouri, Iowa. Wis
consin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska,
Oklahoma and Texas. The bug when
full grown is about one-fifth of an inch
in length. 1t Is black with numerous
hairs. Pasturing sometimes aids In
the destruction Of the bug. This Is
particularly effective to the north
ward in the Middle west, when the
grass is green and matted or occurs
along hedge rows and rail fences SO
that it cannot be burned. Leaving the
ground bare of vegetation permits the
bugs to be exposed to the winter
weather, which kills them. 1t is often
possible to clear out hedge rows and
along rail fences, piling the refuse to
one side where it can be burned later.
1t is most advisable to get rid of the
bugs before they enter the young
wheat in the early spring. Once they
have reached the wheat they are not

of clump forming grasses in waste
places, pastures and meadows, along
roadsides and railroad rights of way.

RAPID LIFE IN WINDY CITY
According to New York Woman's
Story Its Reputation Has Basis
Other Than Humorous.

There is a New York woman who
goes twice a year to Chicago with her
husband, when the latter makes peri
odical business trips. They always
stay at the same hotel-a large though
quiet house, which gets good deal
of Chicago and Illinois trade. The
New Workers have come to be known
to the woman housekeeper of the
hotel They have just returned from
their latest journey to the city by
Lake Michigan, and this is what Mrs
New Yorker says:
I always used to think that the
humorous paragraphs in the papers.
dealing with the frequency of Chi
cago divorces were jokes, but l know
now they have a solid basis of fact.
The reason? Because when we were
in Chicago this time the housekeeper
of the hotel said to me: I'm so glad
to see you back again, ma'am. And
you know-if you'll excuse me saying
it-you're the only lady that comes
back here year after year with the
same husband. New York Times.
