Resolution

Next Monday is New Years Day, and
many a good resolution will be passed by
the residents of the San Luis Valley on that
National Holiday. And we're going to
suggest to you for your adoption, a most
important resolution. One, that if adopt
ed by every person in this valley, would
make all prosperous and successful, and
eliminate failure and want. So, when you
form your resolutions for the New Year,
make the following promise your principal
one.
RESOLVED,
THAT l WILL PAY THE CASH FOR ALL
MERCHANDISE PURCHASED, THERE
BY ELIMINATING THE ENORMOUS
EXPENSES INCURRED BY THE CREDIT
SYSTEM.
Hundreds of people are profting by
the strictly cash, non-delivery systems
which we offer the trade. The saving to
the people by casting aside the ancient
credit methods, is an enormous sum. Cash
is powerful factor in every business deal,
and this has been plainly demonstrated by
the enormous savings our customers have
enjoyed.
But don't forget to pass that Strictly
Cash resolution, then stick to it, and you'll
be surprised how much happier and con-
tented you'll be, than to be continually
spending your money before you get it.
Handling merchandise that is de-
pendable in quality selling strictly for
cash; not maintaining an expensive deliv-
cry system and underselling all other con-
cerns' makes our store the trading place
for those who want to save.

FOURTH OF JULY TETANUS.

Back in 1905 there were 104 deaths

about the average annual mortality

ster in the United States would be
safe from this disease, basing its es.

was found that boy down in Maine

and died. That single fatality was only

1915, but it resulted from Fourth OF

information regarding this wholly
avoidable infection.

arms are az times responsible. When
driven into the tissues the Wadding
carries with it innumerable bacilli. II
these be tetanus bacilli the poisonous
products or toxins resulting from their
multiplication produce the disease.
Tetanus bacilli thrive only in the alb,
sence of oxygen. 1t is for this reason
that the physician enlarges the wouno

foreign material dresses the injury in
such a manner that development OF
the organisms is inhibited. In order
TO accomplish this it is usually neces-
sary to administer an anaesthetic. An
titetanic serum is of great value as a
prophylactic and it should invariably
be given in injuries of this character.
Parents should realize that Fourth
of July tetanus is easy to prevent but
extremely difficult to sure, the disease
being attended with a mortality of
more than 95 per cent. No blank cart

TOMAHEWk ISLAND.

Ages ago, tradition tells us, Iowa
boasted a culture which had passed
away perhaps centuries before the
coming of the white man. Today,
on Tomahawf Island near EddyVille
and in various localities along the
Mississippi and continent streams one
may pause and dream of a past civil.
ization which is still as much of a
riddle as that of the Sphinx. One
may still find in many localities in
the state constant reminders of a
paleolithic or neolithic age to which
legend is our strongest tie. Lacking
a better name we call the people who
developed this culture mound
builders" Tradition gives them a
fascinating history, but anthropoIogy
still speculates as to who they were.
One can but wonder why Iowa
anthropologists journey to PARKWAY
Arizona, Yucatan, and Peru, seeking
to unrayel there the mysteries of the
past, when here at home is a roman
tic past fully as interesting in the
possibilities of it's revelation, though
not so stupendous in its material re,
mains, as can be found elsewhere in
the western world.-From "The Iowa

Keep milk clean, cold and covered"

Milk being a highly perishable food
the length of time it will remain sweet
and safe, especially for children, de-
ponds, specialists point out, almost en-
tirely on the constant care it receives
from the COW to the consumer.
l If the three agencies through which
milk passes the producer, the dealer
and the consumer, handle the product
correctly, less disease will result
from the use of contaminated milk.
Because milk poured from vessel
to vessel on the street is liable to con-
tamination from dust and other
delivered in cap bottles.
If bottled milk canot be obtained,
the housewife should try 20 have some
one in the family receive the milk in
a clean. scalded utensil, cover il i'm
mediately and put 1t without delay, in
to a refrigerator or the coolest pos
sible place This will preserve the food

The departments precaution also
provides instruction for the pouring of
milk from containers, and cautions
against the failure to keep the liquid
always covered. ~" ....' "
The refrigerator where milk is stor-
ed, the bulletin advises. should be
cleaned regularly. special care being
given to keeping the drip pipe free and
clean. The ice rack also should be
cleaned and anyplace where food is
kept or milk stored, should be scalded
occasionally with sal soda solution.
The refrigerator, the cold =. may
quickly become contaminated bysa few
drops Of spilled milk, or by, small
particles of food. No matter how
clean the refrigerator. milk should not
be kept in proximity to it, t
Care of milk in homes where there
are children is a vital essential to the
health of babies. No intelligent mother
will leave to an ordinary servant the
task of caring for or preparing the
milk for her baby. Mothers of small
children should get from their phvsi-
clans explicit directions for the proper
handling of milk and for cleaning and
steriliZing nursing bottles. Milk for
babies cannot be kent too cool and
too much care cannot he given to keep
ing it clean and covered. ....

SAW MILL WASTE.

There are more than 5000 saw
mills in the United States. and their
output of waste in the form of saw
dust, shayings, slabs. and other wood
refuse is estimated as SO million cords
rer year. This is equal to over AZ
billion cubic feet of waste, which is
the capacity of bin one-half mile
high with a base covering a forty,
acre lot. Or, considering each cord
to contain eighty cubic feet of solid
wood with all the cracks and air
spaces taken out, these 36 million
cords would make a block OF wood
more than a quarter of mile on each
edge.
Perhaps one-half of this so-called
waste product is not strictly speaking
wasted, but serves useful purpose as
fuel under the boilers. Much of the
remaining Is million cords not only
serves no useful purpose. but In most
cases IS a Source OF inconyenience
and danger, and costs the mill time
and money.

the office. McCaffrey was the in
cumbent He had been declared
elected by the election judges.
The high court said:
Electors will erase in the event
of mistakes. notwithstanding cards of
instruction, and undertake to correct
for themselves the mistakes they
made, instead of demanding a new
ballot. Courts should recognize this
inclination or tendency in passing on
the question as to whether what was
done was meant to beHused as

not define what q mark of identified

that no ballot bearing Identification
