LET COLORADO FACTIONS UNITE

Colorado today Is the greatest pro-

Many of the people of the east
have waxed wealthy from large divi-

ing as the first in the list of large
dividend paying industries, exceeding
by many fold that of banking, manu-
facture, agriculture or horticulture.
These same people from the east,
for years, by congress onal acts. have
sought to cripple this great industry,
so beneficial to the world by setting
aside large area of our national
mineral acres, for forest reserves,
water and leasing rights, etc.

CLUE TO CAUSE OF CANCER
Perhaps There Is Good Reason Why
Moses Forbade Use Of Pork
to Hebrews.

The latest scientific support for the
Mosaic code is perhaps not a very
great matter, but it is immensely in
teresting, writes the medical CORE
spondent of the London Times. Ir
the last issue of the British Jcurna
Of Surgery there appears paper de
scribing the appearances of certain
blood cells in malignant disease (can
cer). The author is a well-known oh
server. Certain peculiarities of the
cells of the blood were noted by him
in cancer cases, and it then occurred
TO him that these changes might also
be produced by taking certain ar
ticles of diet. He carried out various
tests, and the following is his con
clusion:
1T was found that one can repro
duce the blood picture of carcinoma
,(cancer) in respect to the nucleal
pseudopods by partaking of certain
articles Of food-notably pork, and to
n less extent other red meats" He
adds: incidentally, these observa
tions suggest the physiological reason
for the dietary imposed upon the He
brew race (Gen. 9, 4;-Lev. H."
While no hurried conclusions mus
be arrived at on the strength of wha,
is. after all, only a very small item
in the picture of the disease, 1t is ye,
fair comment that "since one phas,
of the blood picture produced by cir
culating toxins of malignant disease
can be initiated by ingestion of highl,
heterogeneous food q. e., pork, etc., Il
suggests that long-continued overus,
of the same may form an advantage
Gus substratum for the subsequen
development of the disease
This statement has only a speculativ,
value"

ENLISTING RECRUITS

Capt. JOS. C. Taylor and Sergeant
w. S. Stringfan, of the engineering
corps of the National Guard of the
United States, were arrivals in the
city Tuesday evening for the purpose
OF recruiting men for the engineering
department. The term of enlistment
Is three years in service and three
years in reserve. Only single men
of good bodily health, between the
ages OF IS and As years are enlisted.
The work of these enlisted in the
engineering corps is different from
that Of the regular trooper. in that
the engineering forces are never call
ed into battle only as a means of
self protection. Their work is the
repairing and rebuilding of bridges
and certain CONSTITUTIONAL service.
Capt. Taylor. and Serg. Stringhan
Will have headquarters at the Cen
tral City hotel during their several
days stay in the city. Anyone quail
if.ed who desires to join the engineer
ing corps may call on them. They
will make a tour of the county, Wis.,
iting the boys at the various mines.
In their work of enltsting recruits,
the officers will have the co-opera-

IN DEFENSE OF THE HuNcH
Maybe It Is Superstition, But II You
Are Wise You Will Heed Yours
Next Time. .

"Play your lunches" is a good rule
to follow. 1t is not direction to the
superstitious alone. Indeed, it is to be
much benefit from their lunches They
have SO many charms upon which to
place reliance that they look rather un-
favorably upon such a practical help as
hunch. The practical minded, no
doubt, will deny that hunch has any
value, but that is because they are not
as practical as they think they are.
Common sense does not ignore
lunches, and without common sense
one cannot have practical sense.
A hunch is an impulse to the judg-
ment, declares writer in the Pitts
burgh Gazette Times. 1t is an invol-
untary mental operation, an instan-
taneous appeal to and inclination of
the Judgment upon the outcome of
which momentous consequences for
veal or woe may depend. It may be
instructive or it may be intuitive, but
it is an imperative demand for action
1t does not always compel the right
action, though usually it does. 1t is a
sleepless outlook, an ever-alert moni-
tor within the human mind that sounds
a warning and points the road of safe
ty. In that case the unthinking regard
1t as premonition. If the instant ac
tion upon it avoids disaster to him to
whom it comes he usually credits it to
luck. Really he should know that he
has been saved by a hunch.
There is the case of that New Haven
engineer who averted serious wreck
lear Waterbury, Conn. Driving along
1t high speed he had hunch that all
was not right on the track ahead. His
Judgment told him to stop. He did.
and only few persons were injured
when the train ran into clogged
switch. Had he not acted promptly on
his hunch another terrible wreck prob
ably would have been reported. There
was good fruit from the teachings of
safety first. An appeal to the judgment
through hunch ian unaccountable
suspicion), right inclination of the
judgment through practical sense in
simultaneously, and wisdom to act
without further knowledge. That's all
there is to it. No superstition. No
guessing. A complete vindication for
the hunch. Better act on yours.
