CAUSES OF FURRED TONGUE
Many Reasons, Besides a Disordered
Stomach, May BE Responsible for
Condition.

81 suppose that there is no more in
eradicable idea in the mind Of the doc.
tor than that the furred tongue is es-
sentially an indication of deranged
stomach" writes Sir James Goodhart,
consulting physician to Guys hospital,
London, in the Lancet, land it Is prob
ably an attempt to kick against the
pricks to say otherwise" Yet, accord
ing to Sir James, it Is by no means al
ways so. And he goes on to prove it
by cases in his own extensive practice.
One of these was of man in a very
responsible position. leader of men,
to whom he had to give orders that
had to hear much grumblng; a very
hard worker and "the fastest talker |
! have ever struck" full of energy and
playing every ounce of 1t. He was in
| splendid health, but suffered from a
| furred tongue and bad taste in the
mouth. In his case these were not due
to the stomach at all, but to disor-
| dered state of nerve control.
Nervous fears and nervous tastes
| are common enough, and they deserve
a special thought" says Sir James. He
| believes that man is kept sweet and
wholesome largely by nervous control,
and when he loses this control "the
parts become fevered. the mucous
membrane dry, the nerves irritated,
and taste is perverted" The men so
affected are those who are nervous,
anxious, hard workers, taking their
work home with them to think about
and dream about in bed.

utes. There seemed plenty of room
for the passengers. The boat immedi-
ately in front of Jimmy was nearly
full.
Room for one more!" shouted the
officer in charge.
Then he noticed that the girl in gray
was standing where he had been. Also,
that she was alone. 1t was odd, but
at that moment Jimmy found himself
cogitating that she must, then, be
travelling alone.
The eyes of the girl in gray were

"You coward" said the girl in gray,
very icily and deliberately.
Jimmy sprang out Of the boat and
tried to take off the hat which was
not in its place.
81 beg your pardon! I didn't see
you" said Jimmy to the girl in gray.
But the girl in gray did not move.
Instead, she stepped back pace, and
from behind her there came rushing a
| poor, frantic woman with a baby in
her arms. She scrambled into the
| place which Jimmy had abandoned
and the sailors began to lower the
boat.
Jimmy glanced about him at the
empty deck, and then he looked at the
| girl in gray. The ship had ceased to
dip at the bow; now it was almost
level. That meant that it was going

hardly justice to Mr.. Holmes to expect
him to keep the system in order and
at the same time allow an indiscrim.-

might want to connect some bells to the

decided, on motion of Alderman Hutel-
ings, that the city should advertise for
bids for supplying the electricity re-
quired to operate the plant and also
for some one to keep the system in
working order. This is thought to be
the only practical way out Of the diff

gether in a common effort to work out
an insurance plan that will settle al
labor disputes growing out of accidents,
and the commission is also bringing
capital and labor together in an effort
which, without doubt, in the end will
prevent recurrence of those things
which brought our state into disrepute
throughout the land.
One year ago the credit of Colorado
was on the wane because Democracy
had then given us six years of turmoil,
strife and disorder. Today the credit
Of Colorado ranks equal with the credit
of any other state in the Union.
One year ago neither legitimate cap
ital nor Legitimate labor dared come 70
this state for investment or homestead,
because of the unstable condition nf
our state government. Today labor aad
capital are each as well protected IN
Colorado as in any other state in the
Union, and both labor and capital are
turning their eyes and steps toward
this Centennial state.
One year ago our current events
hinged around the Ludlow massacre,
the Walsenburg battle, Pearl Jolly, Ben
Lindsey and the fear law abiding citi-
zens had of having their property de-
stroyed and their lives taken. Today
our current events are the work of oar
industrial commission, the completion
of our commercial enterprises, the con-
struction of good roads, the rejuvenat-
ing Of our educational and other state
institutions and the good effects Of es
tablished law and order.
One year ago the magazine and east
ern newspaper special writers were de-
voting columns of space to the "hor'
rible example" of Colorado, which ar
ticlea were made possible from the fact
that Democracy had not made good in
the use of the governmental powers OF
