For two years he devoted himself to
this work; living all of the time with
the men whom he was trying to help
Sometimes he went without his meals
and slept wherever he could find a
resting place. He travelled from place
to place like a hobo and at all times
wore the toughest, coarsest kind OF
clothing in order that he might get
into the closest kind of touch with
the so-called +down-and-outs."
With the information and data he
had accumulated during his two years
of association and contact with the
unemployed Mr.. Brown started a
campaign in score of cities for the
erection of municipal lodging houses
where the unemployed might be given
shelter without the idea being thrust
upon him that he was the recipient
of public charity. AT Minneapolis
Mr.. Brown induced the authorities to
throw open the jails during the winter
months where the poor of the city
might have free lodgings. The sug-
gestion was put into execution and
was a great success. Other citices fol-
lowed and the result was that ther was
everywhere great decrease of crime
of all kinds. The Denver municipal
lodging house was established direct
ly thru Mr.. Browns influence. The
city charter provided for 1t. but it
was not until Mr.. Brown began an
agitation for its erection that any
thing was done to make it reality

What Is Utic..oAcid 2

Everyone has uric acid in the system, ,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
cessive amount is caused by eating TOO
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
OF the blood, are supposed to separate
aud throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked Kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
nulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.

EDWIN A. BROWN, PHILANTHROPIST

made the trip to Canon City from
SaIida by automobile Thursday after
noon for the purpose of inspecting the
convict-built Parkdale-CotopaM link

says he had heard much of the scenic
beauty of this stretch of roadway. but
had never traversed it until Thurs
day II is, he asserted, one of the
best and most attractive bits of pub

Mr.. Brown is brother of William
C. Brown, president of the New
York Central & Hudson River Valley
Railway company. and has always had
sufficient means at his command to
enable him to carry on without diff
Guilty his sociological studies, sub
ject in which he has been greatly in
terested for many years. One dark
night on the streets of Denver nearly
twenty years ago while Mr.. Brown
was on his way home from his club
young man tapped him on the arm
and asked him for the price of a
nights lodging. Such things had
happened to him before. but not un-
til that night did the revelation come
to him that he ought to do something
worth while to help the poor and the
unfortunate. The incident changed
the whole course of his life and then
and there he dedicated himself to the
cause of humanity.
He wrote books and pamphlets bear
ing on the labor problem. as well az
on the Submerged tenth" and had
them published and circulated at his
own expense. Later he started out on
