Will Construct Aerial
Tram 10 the AStOr

Mr.. Lewis, who is operating on
the famous Astor mine on Dem
ocrat mountain, is meeting with
we'll merited success, SO much SO
that an aerial tramway is to be
constructed in the near future.
The tram is to run from the mouth
of the Scepter tunnel to the G. d
S. railroad and will be capable of
carrying more than fifty tons every
eight hour shift. This capacity
can be more than doubled by the
addition of more buckets.
1t is also contemplated to install
electric power which will add
materially to more economical
working of this valuable mine,
which in the los had a wide GEL
ebrity, as it produced some of the
richest silver ores produced in the
entire district.

Fruits May Be Canned
Without Use OF Sugar

The following quotation relative
to canning without sugar is taken
from a circular written by J. S.
Coldwell, by products specialist of
the Washington Agricultural Ex.
pertinent Station:
"Many housewives are apparent
ly unaware that practically all
fruits may be successfully canned
without the use of sugar. Such
fruit preserves more of the natural
appearance and flavor than does
fruit put up in heavy sugar syrup,
is fully as palatable, and much more
easily digested, is in better con-
dition for use in cooking, and is
available for all purposes for which
fruit canned in syrup could be
used. A heavy sugar syrup adds
in slight degree in preventing
the growth of yeasts and bacteria
which cause spoilage, but perfect
sterilization makes its use un-
necessary.
Fruits may be canned without
the use of sugar by any method
which the housewife is accustomed
tn nae."

MI. Nc Clellan'S Summit

Tuesday of this week, for the
first time this season, the motor
cars on the Argentine d Grays
Peak railway reached the summit
of Mount Mcclellan. Deep snow
drifts were encountered early in
the season, but each day additional
progress was made until finally
the cars we're able to make the
complete trip. The elev at i n
reached is 14,OO7 feet, and the trip
is one of the grandest in America.
From Silver Plume the new gas
oline motor cars are used, and the
ascent over the winding steel road,
over series of switch backs af-
fords scenic grandeur that cannot
be equaled by trip up Pixies
Peak.

stuff that is supposed to be re-

his car with the same care as usual.
The city streets were hardly wide
enough for him. Marshal Harvey

ordinance and requested him to
drive home. Crist drove around

New Bridge Needed
Over Gem Water Flume
10
MUM BER g

One of the most dangerous places
on the road between Denver and
Idaho Springs is at the small
bridge or culvert over the hume
east of the slaughter house, which
carries water to the Gem electric
light plant. Serious accidents
have been narrowly averted. The
crossing occurs a. sharp turn in
the road and on a steep grade.
1t is only wide enough for one car.
Approaching the hume from the
east the grade is rather steep and
cars are run on high gear at fair
speed to make the grade. If no
car is met at the crossing all is we'll,
but it frequently happens that
down car appears on the scene at
the critical time. There is no
place for either car to turn out
and the culvert is not wide enough
for them to pass.
The expense Of placing wider
and more substantial bridge would
be only slight and might be the
means of preventing serious
accident.
Only the other day Mayor E.
M. Moscript was compelled to
drive his car onto the railing of
the little bridge to avoid collision
with a big car approaching the
crossing from-the west.
The combination of grade, short
turn and narrowness of the bridge
is too much to go longer witho ut
attention.

Enlisted Men Called
TOPueblO For TRAINING

Eight enlisted young men left
Idaho Springs Wednesday after
noon for Pueblo in answer to call
from headquarters. Just how long
they will be in camp there is not
known, but it is the general opin-
ion that it will be several months
before they will be taken across
the water.
Orders had been received for
them to leave Tuesday afternoon,
and large crowd of people and
the band were at the station to
give them a parting fare we'll.
Their transportation failed to
come, however, and they stayed
over another day An order for
party ticket for eight was re-
ceived by Agent Coughlin and the
boys left Wednesday without
ceremony.
Robert McClelland left Tuesday
morning to attend enlistment
matters at Alamosa and other
places before reporting at Pueblo.
The actual departure of our boys
in answer to their country's call
has brought the war to a closer
realization than has heretofore
been possible.

Registration Numbers
Now AT SiftinQS

The serial number list of all the
men in Clear Creek county be-
tween the ages of q and 81, who
registered on June 5. has been
prepared by the local board and a
complete copy has been posted on
the public bulletin board between
the Siftings Office and the First
National bank.
By reference to this list any
man who is registered can secure
his correct serial number and when
the draft for Colorado men is made
in Washington, and the numbers
are announced, he can tell whether
or not he has been called.
There were 338 names registered,
and these men are numbered from
l to 338, and on the basis of this
registration the government est
mates the full population of Clear
Creek county to be only 1927.
Thus, in case an army of one mil
hon men is called, Clear Creeks
quota will be only 36. If only a
half-million are called Clear
Creek will be asked to furnish
only Is. Each county, or district
las the more populated centers
are divided) will have their regis
tered men numbered also from l
up, the same as this county When
number l or number 10 or num-
Der 26, or any other number is
drawn in Washington, that will
draft all the men over the entire
United States who have those
numbers. Then man can apply
for exemption, or a relative can
apply for him, and if it be granted
another number will be drawn to
select man to take his place.
Since posting the document on
the bulletin board Wednesday it
has been inspected by hundreds.
Anyone who has not yet secured
his number is at liberty to call the
Siftings on the phone and we
will gladly give the information.
Those who have watched the
construction of the n e a t little
double cottage for Mrs. A a
Crowell on Miner, street near Soda
creek cannot help but marvel at
the complete tranformation from
the old dilapidated blacksmith shop
that had become an eyesore. The
new cottage bears not the slightest
trace of the former building which
was used for a frame. A front porch
has just been added and the build
ing is already occupied.

France Equipped SIavs.

When the Russians came to France
they did not bring arms with them,
and it was therefore not only neces-
sary, to arm them throughout with the
French weapons, but to instruct them
in the French tactics and methods of
warfare. All this they have mastered
as readily as they have the language.
The entire Russian army, while re-
tanning its national uniform, has been
equipped throughout with the famous
French steel helmet, which bears in
front, however, the Russian coat of
arms instead of that of the French re-
public. The helmets are painted brown,
the same as those furnished the Bel
gian army, and, together with the long,
brown overcoats, give to the Russian
army very much the same general APP
pearance rs that of the Belgian army.
although never for an instant do the
Russians lose the swinging march or
other characteristics that mark them
as soldiers of the czar.-Paris Patrie.

In Defense of Rights.

have spoken of our and of the
legitimate errands of our people on the seas
but you will not be misled as to my main
thought, the thought that lies beneath these
phrases and gives them dignity and weight.
1t is not of material interest merely that we
are thinking. Rather it is of fundamental hu-
man rights; chief of all the right of life it
self. l am thinking not only of the rights of
Americans to go and come about their proper
business by way of the seas but also of
something deeper, much more fundamental
than thai. l am thinking of those rights of
humanity without which there is no ~civiliza-
ton. My theme is Of those great principles
of compassion and of protection which man.
kind has sought to throw about human lives,
the lives of non-combatants, the lives of men
who are peacefully at work keeping the in
dustrial processes of the world quick and
vital, the lives of women and children and of
those who supply the labor which ministers
to their sustenance. We are speaking of no
selfish material rights but of rights which
our hearts support and whose foundation is
that righteous passion for justice upon which
all law, all structures alike of family, of state
and of mankind must rest as upon the ulti-
mate base of our existence and our liberty.
/ cannot imagine any man with American
principles at his heart hesitating to defend
these things.

What Is Uric oAcm?

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
and throw the poisons out Of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble ia only a
matter OF toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by q treatment with Anuric,
three times q day. Anuric is a recent
discovery of DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Pierce that
Anuric is a more powerful agent than
lithia in dissolving uric acid, and it is
then carried out Of the system.
