Last Sunday about noon | went out
on the street TO buy Sunday Post
and had hard work finding one-aI
the boys and alf the stores, but one,
sold out.
Yoa wonder why the Post sells so
well-being as it is probably the best
cussed paper in Colorado.
Just start a conversation any where
about newspapers and you will hear
somebody cuss the Post. After the
fellow who cusses it the loudest. be he
preacher. politician or mechanic. is
thru just ask him if he takes the Post
and he will probably reply "oh yes-I
take It'll have to-"
Last Sunday the Denver Post sold
10000 copies and there are not twice
that many families in Colorado.
All of which goes to show that cuss-
ing paper doesn't seem to hurt il
very much.
Whether you like the Post. or cuss
II, or take it-or refuse to take it
you at least see It and know what it is.
Whether you and like the policies.
political and other policies. Of the
Post or not-and VIC probably do not
much of the time-we must admit as
worldly NEWS papers go the Denver
Post Is one Of the best in the L. 8. A.
today.
The Denver Post is a Live Wire.
You cannot go to sleep reading it.
Some people cannot 80 to sleep with a
copy in the same room-so much kick
II has to II.
As to all OF the Post policies-I Of
fer no defense. have some good
friends who have habits do not COM
mend or defend--and yet ] like my
friends because they are human-and
rise above their faults.
The Post Is human ard touches the
human side OF foiks-and does It better
than most any other paper you read
and therein lies the secret OF its sue
cess.
The Folks who write the Post you
read know People and they know how
to write to interest the people they
|are writing for. The Post has the
greatest bunch OF star performers in
this writing game ever gathered to
gether on q small city newspaper
and therein lies another reason for its
success.
The Post family OF writer's is a hu.
man bunch of good fellows and bright
women. Each n specialist in his or
her line Each vitality interested in
the game. Each as loyal to the paper
as st. Paul was to his faith.
Look at the names you are familiar
with.
There is Steele--one Of the greatest
cartoonists in America. He can go to
New York any day he wants to but he
likes TO live in Colorado. so he stays
with the Post. He Is nephew Of Gov.
Peabody.
+. w. White. a well-to-do business
man who writes a page every Sunday
OF clever stuff on dramatics. personal
sketches and travel. A globe trotter
and gentleman.
Otto Fioto runs a circus and con.

CIRCUS MANS VIEW.

The plans for booking the big cir
cuses hereafter is to play only dry
towns, with the exception OF the large
cities. The manager of the Hagen.
beck-Wallace circus says, as reported
by William Allen White in the Empo
ria (Kan.) Gazette: 1--WE do better
business In dry town than in wet
one. We noticed the difference in
Missouri; always the days receipts
were better In town that had gone
dry under local option than In town
where saloons were open. And bust
ness is better in Kansas than 1t was III
Missouri.
81 have seen this whole game ur
and down and backward and across,
and want to tell you that all this talk
about town needing saloons or gam
bling houses to stimulate business is
the purest t-1k."
Here is an amusement mans point
OF view on BOOZE" comments Mr.
White. "Once again the verdict is
thumbs down for John Barleycorn.
Poor old John! He can't mix with re
ligion or politics or business. II he
can't mix with the amusements where
does he get in? And the answer is
that national prohibition is Just around
the corner"

good bartender will make a good

il requires many more people to sell

ENPERT TESTIMONY.
DR.. John Dill Robertson. Chicago's
health commissioner, has this to say
about alcohol:
I'm the city Of Chicago, where the
death rate is approximately 100 day,
1t is safe to say that at least 25 per
cent of these deaths are caused direct
ly or indirectly by alcohol.

heart disease, cancer of the stomach,
Bright's disease, fatty liver, hardened
liver, Inflammation OF the nerves, cpl
lepsy, hardening of the arteries and q
multitude of other Affections of the
body.
Those are known medical facts
Alcohol is truly a poison. 1t is not
only the causative factor in the dis.
eases and Affections have mentioned
above, but 1t invades the mental man
and produces insanity.
Alcoholic pneumonia is known to
e-ery practitioner. In the past TWEEN
ty years in Chicago the death rate
from pneumonia was just twice what
It was the preceding twenty years
Alcohol is without doubt to blame for
a part of these deaths, for in alcoholic
pneumonia the death rate is ire

are marked by a diagnosis which
seems to have no connection with al

1t was the predisposing factor in the

the patients face. Plenty of fresh air
and sunshine are natures great disin-
fectants.
A screen Is a valuable addition to
a bedroom to keep off drafts and shut
off direct light from the face.
A comfortable bed, high enough to
be able to lift the patient without
back-strain, is another desirable part
of the equipment.
Bare floors that can be kept clean
with a dust mop, small rugs e the
bed and no unnecessary ~draperies at
the windows, or upholstered furniture
to collect dust, are most desirable.
Have plenty of pillows, some very
small, to tuck under the elbow or
shoulder; a hard one to put under the
knees to keep the patient from Slip
ping down in bed is often a great rest.
Never sit on the bed to visit with a
patient, or if two callers are present,
sit on either side of the bed, as the
turning of the patients head to look
at each is often fatiguing.
When the bedding seems to tire the
feet a p~asteboard box or a padded
board may be slipped into the foot
of the bed to support the bedding.
Often if the limbs are injured the
weight of the sheet is oppressive.
In giving medicine, a rule never to
be forgotten is to read the label be-
fore pouring out the medicine, and
afterwards before setting down the
bottle. If this rule was never broken
there would be many less deaths to
record. Always pour medicine from
the opposite side of the label as it
may be blurred and all name or d.
rections destroyed.
Medicine containing iron should be
taken through a straw, as the teeth
will be ruined by it.
Castor oil is easier taken if a bit of
lemon or orange juice is put into the
spoon before pouring in the oil.
