PROPAGANDA IN COLORADO

Denver, Jan. ga bill aimed at
the attempts Of group Of Denver wo'
men to introduce birth control clinics
in this city has been drawn by Ralph
Kerwin, assistant attorney general, and
will be introduced in the house of rep
resentatives by Representative Bashore.
The proposed law declares that the
preservation Of public health and NOR
ais demands the suppression of seer
tain pernicious, immoral and injurious
practices and teachings now existing in
our sister states and threatening to in
wade the state of Colorado, and thereby
endanger its peace, and destroy the
health and morals Of its citizens"
To prevent the spread Of birth con-
troll propaganda, it is declared unlaw-
full for "any person, persons, associa-
tions or groups of persons" to hold any

ject, or to publish or distribute any

CARLSON GETS EVEN WITH
DENVER POST $4,000 WORTH

Governor George Carlson has been
able to get even with the Denver Post
to some extent at least-to the extent
of $4,000, to be exact. This is the
way it was:
The Denver Post chose to make the
fight of the Colorado Fair Rates assS-
citation its fight also, and therefore
contributed $4,000 to the fight fund.
In other words it started out to get
lower rates for its great big "fambly,'
who were being robbed by the railroad
barons, etc. .. ID
But as the Post did not quite have
the balance Of power, the matter Of
choosing attorneys was in other hanas.
This committee chose Governor George
Carlson and he is going to get the
$4,000. This is one thing you cannot
"just tell them you saw in the Denver
Post.'

tories has shown far more advance in
the building of other commercial dairy
plants. There are now sixteen cheese
factories in operation, seventy five
commercial plants making butter, forty
five making ice cream, one oleomarga-
rine factory, two process butter plants,
four condenseries and. two hundred
ninety cream shipping stations.
The value of manufactured dairy
products, including condensed milk, ice
cream, cheese and butter, for the year
ending July l, 1916, totaled $4,000, 900.
Colorado creameries won third place
among the western states, on butter ex-
hibited at the Northwestern Dairy
Products show in 1916, and will un
doubtedly make better showing at
the coming Dairy Products show which
will be held this year at Portland, Ore,
during the last week of February Cool
nights in summer, and an abundance Of
pure fresh water, in many places com
ing from mountain streams and springs,
are of value that cannot be replaced

CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of It in Glenwood Springs, But

The kidneys often cry for help.
Not another organ in the whole body
more delicately constructed;
Not one more important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where there

Backache is one of the frequent in-
dications of kidney trouble.
