FUNSTON PRAISES
HEALTH OF TROOPS
COMMANDING GENERAL .sAYS
WISCONSIN BRIGADE HAS
MADE RECORD.
OUTDOOR LIFE is BENEFICIAL
Training Win Make Men More Hardy,
Declare Sanitary officers of Camp.
Only One Death Among
Badger Troops.

San Antonio, Textile health of
the Wisconsin troops has been so un-
usually good that Maj. Gen. Funston,
commanding general OF the southern
department, has taken official cogniz-
ance OF the fact.
Sanitary officers of the Wisconsin
brigade have established a reputation
for themselves and the wonderful
health record is due in large part. If
not entirely, to their efforts Many of
them have declared from time to time
that there would be a great deal more
illness among the same men were they
home rather than in this military camp.
They say further that this outdoor life
and training will add an average of
ten years to the life of the soldiers.
Considering the death rate in cities,
one may judge the condition of the
men by the fact that there has been
but one death among the Wisconsin
troops since they were mabolized.
That was a suicide.

A summary of this platform follows:
To endeavor, by strict impartiality,
by prompt and diligent effort, by Viz
orous application of the principle OF
exact justice, to save employer, work
er, and all our people, the waste
hardship and suffering incident TO fu-
ture lockouts and strikes.
To sustain the "dry" lawn my
opinion the greatest social. economic
and moral step that Colorado has
ever taken-to oppose the passage OF
the beer amendment, or any other
unfriendly or reactionary legislation;
to seek. after this year OF testing the
dry" law. to make 1t even more ef-

amendment as the true interests or
the prohibitory cause and experience
dictate.
To maintain the Colorado Public
Utilities Commission free from all
outside control.
To adjust and limit the total OF
state expenditure to the minimum of
state income.
To maintain all state institutions
upon sound financial basis; to es-
tablish the budget system.
To so guard the 100000 acres Of
school land in the state, and the half
million acres of coal which is under
them, that this hundred million dol
lar heritage of the school children of
Colorado may be preserved and kept
inviolate.
To protect the citizens of Colorado |
from the unestimable damage which |
would follow the successful encroach- |
ment upon our water rights by ad-
Joining states,
To continue the policy begun in .
he present administration whereby /
he state assumes the whole burden
IF the care of the insane so that not a
single insane person shall be left as a
,harge upon any county in Colorado.
To seek to decrease the burden of
administrative expense upon the tax
payer, but this not at an expense of
efficiency or thru reduction or restric
ion of service,
To provide adequate appropriation
or the support of the Colorado Pub
ic Utilities Commission in the suit
low pending before the Interstate
Commerce Commission for the es-
of fair freight rates for
