MERCY HOME CHILDREN
 TO PLAY IN WINDOWS

get subscriptions of money with which to bear the burden of expense attach ing to the care of the children. No soliciting of any kind is indulged, only voluntary subscriptions being accepted. The city of Birmingham formerly gave financial aid to the home, but during the retrenchment period it was found necessary to withdraw this appropria- tion, and the city government now does nothing for the Mercy Home.
 The children who will take part in the demonstration next week will be in the display windows three hours each, in order to permit all the children in the home to have a visit downtown. Only the smaller inmates of the home are permitted to take part in the dem- onstration and they look upon it as great fun. They are permitted to play all the games they play at the home. and are not aware of the fact that they are helping to secure subscriptions for their maintenance through their play. The demonstration last year was held in the display windows of Drennen com pany, and that of the year before at Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's.

COALDALE BRIDGE
OUT OF COMMISSION

The bridge across the Arkansas
river at Coaldale in the western part
of the county was put out of COM
mission by a heavy automobile truck
last Monday afternoon and it is likely
to be some time before it is repaired
and made availabl efor travel
A big freight truck. to which was at
iached a trailer. both laden with gro
ceries, belonging to the Vulcan Mines
Smelling company of Gunnison.
driven by a Mr.. Griffiths, partially
broke the structure down in attempt
ins to cross it and was on Wednesday
night tightly wedged in the wreckage.
The truck was new one and was
being taken from Denver to the west
ern slope to be used in hauling ore
FROM the mines to the Gunnison smelt-
er when the accident occurred Both
were loaded with several tons of mer-
chandise and the bridge gave way un-
der the weight to which il was sub
jected. but without injury to the motor
driver. although he was thrown vio-
lcntly from his seat on the machine.
County Commissioner w. H. Pigg
and Vic McCandless, in company with
Judge ]. G. Schweigert, drove to the
scene of the accident Tuesday after
noon and made survey of the dis
abled bridge. but were unable to do
anything to release the imprisoned
truck and trailer.
The commissioners will take imme-
date steps to restore the bridge to its
former usefulness. but it will probably
be several weeks before the work is
completed.

REV. VAN KEUREN
HAD EXPERIENCE WITH
INFAKTILE PARALY LYSlS

Rev. Floyd Van Keuren. rector of
dent at the theological seminary in
New. York City during the first epi-
demic if infantile paralysis there in
1897, and as a layman had some expe-
rience with the contagion at that time.
In addition to his studies at the semin-
mary he did some settlement work
among the people on the east side and
in doing so was brought in contact
with the disease in a more or less
intimate way While a Sunday school
teacher in ST. Georges church several
of his pupils were stricken with the
disease and in visiting them at their
homes he learned something of its
characteristics.
The epidemic at that time, he says,
was not as serious as the pre.ent one,
although it was greatly alarming to
the medical profession, as it was to a
large extent unacquainted with the
peculiarities of the disease, conse-
quently unable to do more than expe-
riment in an effort to find remedy to
check its ravages.
In the beginning, according to Rev.
Van Keuren, it is not unlike many
other ailments common to children
and sometimes manifests itself in the
form of a slight cold or other indispo-
sition and is not particularly alarm
ing. 1t usually attacks, the young, al
though youth and maturity are not
wholly immune. Rev. Van Keuren
saysthere are records of people of
forty years of age having been its vic
tins, but such instances are very ex-
ceptional. Not all of those who con-
tract the disease die by any means,
although there is a high percentage of
fatality. Many of those who recover
go through life as cripples. or with
impaired vitality.
A bulletin just issued by the United
States public health service says:
"Infantile paralysis is not dis
ease of recent years as many people
suppose. Sporadic or scattered cases
have occurred throughout the country
for many years, but it is only during
the last twenty years that the infection
has assumed epidemic proportions in
the United States. The present cpl
demic in New York City, on account
of its magnitude and virulence, has
awakened the residents of many COM
munities. to the danger of the importa-
tion os the disease into. their own
MIDST. This danger is real, but II due
precautions are exercised it is be-
lieved that the epidemic will subside." :"

'DR. DIXON DENOUNCES
PARENTS WHO ROB THEIR
CHILDREN OF SLEEP
By Samuel C. Dixon. NJ. D.

(Penna. Commissioner of Healthy
The present habit of turning night
into day in our highly Illuminated
towns with all sorts of exciting enter
tainments keeps the nerves keyed
high and upsets the equilibrium.
Children especially are apt to suf-
fer from late hours. For the first two
years of life. eating and sleeping are
the two great essentials.
Babies should sleep from fifteen to
twenty hours out of twenty-four and
older children from ten to fourteen
see babies in arms or very young chill
dren being carried about until their
parents bed time. This is injurious
to the children and cannot be made
up by additional rest the next day.
Permitting children to remain up
late is strain on their nervous sys-
TEN which,, while it may not be i'm
mediately apparent. is bound to exert
a detrimental influence in the long
run. Oftentimes the i'll effects are
perfectly apparent to the intelligent
observer.
Irritableness and any of the train
of evils which result from an ever
taxed nervous system may result from
continually robbing the child of sleep.
A regular bed time should be set for
children according to their age. rang
ing from six o'clock for babies to
eight or nine and this should be regu-
larly adhered to. This is matter of
the utmost importance in establish
ing a sturdy constitution in childhood.
With adults. irregularity and short
hours OF sleep are often a factor
which predisposes TO i'll health. oc-
casionally one will find an individual
who has an unusual capacity for work
with less than the ordinary amount OF
rest. but for the ordinary man or
woman this would end disastrously.

SKELETON UNCOVERED
IN MAKING new ROAD

County Surveyor James Bunten re-
turned to Canon City the first of the
week from the western part of the
county where he has been engaged for
some time past in connection with
the construction of the new public
highway from Texas Creek into the
Wet Mountain valley. The new road
old lipe of travel made to avoid a
long, sandy stretch of highway at the
bottom of stream, is a little more
than three miles in length and is be
| ing built along the side of the noun.
tains. 1t is of heavy construction
and about twenty men are at present
engaged on the job. The work has
been in progress for several weeks
and the hardest part of the undertak-
ing will be completed by the end OF
this week, according to Mr.. Bunten.
Some ten days or two weeks ago
the men employed in building the
road uncovered the skeleton of a
man, presumably that of an Indian,
under a mass of loose rock at the
foot of small canyon. The skeleton
was in a good state of preservation.
although it had probably lain there
for seventy-five or a hundred years;
perhaps, longer. Near by were found
several rudely made spear heads of
stone and other Indian relies. show
ing conclusively that the skeleton be-
longed to one of the aboriginal inhabi-
tants of the country. Whether he
lost his life in a rockslide, or was
buried there by his friends after a
natural death is, of course. unknown
The Ute Indians occupied the noun
tain districts of Colorado before the
settlement of the country by the white
man and sometimes buried the more
distinguished of their dead under a
sepulchre of loose rock to prevent
their bodies from being dug up by
wolves. coyotes and other predatory
animals. Whatever the explanation
of interment in this instance may be
it seems almost certain that the skele-
ton referred to belonged TO a warrior
of the Ute tribe.
