RADIUM CURES DIS
EASED ANIMALS

Animal instinct in many ways is
superior to that of human instinct
and shows that an all-wise creator
has endowed the brute creation with
knowledge that surpassed that
which the science of the human
family has devoted years of study
and research to accomplish. Pas
teur, the great French chemist, spent
many weary day and sleepless
night in compounding formula that
produced the antidote for hydropho-
bia and the Pastuerization of milk,
whereby thousands OF infant lives
have been saved to move the wheels
OF science in the future. Koch, the
famous Serman bacterioligist, con-
ferred q blessing upon the human
race when ne succeeded in isolating
the tubercole and common bacillus
that killed the cholera germ. The
contagious cattle and hog disease that
| effects the mouth and feet of animals
which is devastating our eastern
bovine family as well as the young
porkers,t has attacked the mountain
| sheep and goats in Montana and
these favored wild animals, protect
ed by law, are about to become ex-
tinct.
Colorado is more fortunate in as
much as We have the radium soil and
springs in Gilpin county that are an
antidote for the disease, and every
morning in the bright sunlight of
Colorado's azure sky, may be seen
herds of these wild and mountainous
animals vending their way to the
radium fields on Quartz hill, to as
suage their fevered hoofs in the sands
that are highly impregnated with ra-
dio emana tons; also to the Kirk ra-
dium pool whose proprietor's every
beating of the heart is in sympathy
with the afflicted, has thrown the
pool open for the winter for these
suffering quadrupeds to quench their
! thirst and become whole.
Thus Colorado, the land of SUM-
shine and perpetual youth, has the
| elements within her soil and sub
ter-arcan vaults to not only perpet-
uate the human race. but preserve
this rare species of animal creation
frcm destroying influences that are
| now rayaging the eastern states. 1t
is a psturesque sight at sunrise every
morning to see these heretofore shy y
animals winding down the steep
1 mountain sides, each anxious to re-
ceive its share of natures treat
ment that allays and cures this here
tofore fatal malady. Surely Colo
rado, when all her perfections are
known to the world, will be regard
ed as a great and progressive state.

Owing to the nearness of the holi-
days, the postal department is send
ing out instructions to the postal en-
ployes regarding the preparing of
parcels to be sent by parcels post. in
order to come within the require
ments Of the department one should
see that the parcel is we'll wrapped
and is marked plainly with the send
er's address and the name of the ad-
dressee. Parcels are unmailable
when the sender's address does not
appear ON the parcel. Also the post
masters are instructed not to take
parcels when they are not properly

the sender will assist the post-office

On the whole. I do not consider the
catchCIS of today TO be as wise and
tricky as those who were working when
first broke into the league. 1t is prob
ably because the game has developed

carry more matter on his mind. lie
is always watching base runners and
has several signs TO keep in his head
besides the battery signals. He must
be on the lookout for hit and run signs

USED TO pull one that bothered me
good deal when l was first in the
league. After giving his sign, he
would reach down and grab up a
handful of dirt as il to dry the sweat
off his hands. Then, just when the
ball came up to the plate, he would
throw this dirt on the batters feet.
The action naturally distracted a
mans attention and took his mind off
the pitch. In other words, Clarke
was working on the batter's nerves
There can be no success in batting
without concentration. Jack O'Con-
nor. the old catcher, had a habit of
talking continuously to worry the hit
ters. His fayorite play was to shove
his glove up around your neck where
you couldn't help but see it and wave
it there, saying:
Come on. Put one up here
OF course. he would cross you and
the ball would not come around the
neck. But the waving glove, which
could be seen just out of the tail of
the eye, would make you sore and
want to bat il. He would keep his
glove there until the ball had almost
reached him. too, in order to discon-
cert his victim. But the strictness Of
the umpires at the present time and
the great number of signs it is now
necessary for a catcher to remember
make it almost impossible for them
to practice tricks on hitters.
