The editor had the honor and
pleasure of being an invited

ice of Colorado and Wyoming at
a "get-aquainted luncheon" at
the University club Friday at l
O'Clock. About twenty-five men
including representatives from
other outside towns and Col. Get
ty and Maj. Barney (retired).
The luncheon was primarily
for the purpose of the committee
getting in touch with the outside
communities and getting their
assistance in filling up the gaps
in the units of the Regular army
to its full war strength accord
ing to the demands made upon
the two states by Uncle Sam.
Maj. Barney is detailed for the
task of recruiting but finds it
necessary to have assistance in
the work of securing the volun-
teers for special positions such as
truck drivers, horseshoers, bak-
ers, butchers, etc. The commit
tee is asked to round up the men
for the various positions. &C.
quaint them with what salaries
the positions pay and their du-
ties and pass on the Qualifica-
lions of the recruits and place
them at his disposal. The COM
mittee will be supplied with lists
of the positions to be filled and
we were informed that until
the first of September men en-
listing can choose any of the po-
sitions still open and for which
they are able to qualify.
The reception committee for
the luncheon was Ralph w.

A Warning To Farmers.

The Live Stock and Agricultural
Bureau of the Denver Civic and
Commercial Association is send.
ing out the following warning to
farmers over Colorado: Reports"
reaching this bureau indicate
that in their anxiety to grow high
priced, concentrate crops for hu.
man food. farmers in Colorado are
neglecting forage crops for do
mestic animals. Thousands Of
acres of prairie lands are being
plowed up for grain crops, still
further reducing the available
grazing lauds.
This state is carrying oyer from
last season practically no reserves
of hay and forage. Never in our
history have we been 30 short Of
feed crops and forage for live
stock. Meat is just as important
IS bread u. Z human food and
this year forage and hay will be
almost, if not quite. as profitable
as the grain and root crops. Hay
and forage mean meat, milk.
butter and cheese. Without these
crops these important food pro-
ducts are impossible. AT least
forty per cent of the cultivated
area Of each farm should be put
in forage crops. 1t 10 not yet too

Food as Body Fuel

| HOOD is something moro than fuel. 1t
Il not only supplies heat and energy to the
| body, but also tlssue-buildlng material
| Fats starch, sugar and fruit acids are
| true fuel elements; while proteins, which
| comprise the gluten Of wheat, the casein of
| milk, the vegetable casein OF peas and beans
and similar foodstuffs, the lean of meat and
the white of eggs are the tissue-buildng ele-
ments
The fuel elements--starch, sugar, fat, etc,
are easily disposed of by the body. A por-
tion is burned up at once in producing
energy, supporting muscular work, etc,
while any residue is deposited as fat. The
proteins or tssue-bulding elements are not
so easily disposed of. They cannot be stored
up. II taken in excess they must be gotten
rid of at once. An excess of protein gives
rise to poisonous substances, which do great
mischief in the body.
The worst mischief that arises from the
use OF an excess Of protein is the encour-
agement Of putreflction in the intestine.
The undigested fragments remaining I'm the
colon undergo rapid putrefactive changes,
andl the poisons absorbed into the body
damage the liver kidneys and all the tis-
sues and disturb all the vital functions. The
normal proportion of tissue-buildng ele
ments is about one-tenth of the total re-
quirement. When an excess is taken the
undigested portions undergo putrefaction
and are converted into highly poisonous
substances, ptomaines. toxins and other sub
stances which are prodigiously toxic or
poisonous.
The presence of these products OF putre-
faction may be recognized in the stools by,
a putrid odor Healthy bowel discharges
should have a sweetish or slightly sour
odor, or should be entirely free from odor.
A putrd odor is always an evidence Of an
abnormal and harmful condition When
the bowels are in such condition that
putrid, foul-smellng gases escape, intestinal
autointoXication is going on.
A beefsteak carried in ones pocket would
within a few hours become putrid and ex-
ceedingly offensive. The same putrefactive
changes will take place in portion of beef
steak which has been swallowed and re-
mains undigested in the colon Starch
sugar and fat may be stored up as tissue
fat, but proteins cannot be thus stored II
not used they undergo decay, producing
bliousness, colitis, putrld stools foul
breath coated tongue, confused brain, in
somnia, and a great variety of other dis
tressing symptoms.
The high-proten diet Of the American
people, as has been pointed out by Pro-
tessor Chittenden, is largely responsible for
world Of mischief. the real cause Of
which has not been generally understood
or even suspected until recently Professor
Chittenden has shown that by reducing the
protein TO the actual needs of the body and
making the protein only sufficient in
quantity to serve for necessary repairs the
endurance may be enormously increased
The protein content of nuts, fruits, milk.
cereals and vegetables will supply all the
protein needed by the body without the use
of flesh foods This has been well rroyen

On Wednesday noon she marched with an
air OF determination into the store, gave
the blondined young woman clerk a dollar

mother each Saturday night But--she
owned at last pair Of real silk hosiery.
There now remained the tantalizing ques-
tion of what she was TO do with them.
She couldn't wear them to the office unless
she could change after she left home for
she knew the sharp eyes of her mother
would mark their gorgeous hue at once.
For two days she hid them in the bottom
drawer of her dresser at home. on Satur-
day evening she could resist no longer the
wild wish to test the feel Of the silk on
her flesh. After supper she hurried to
her room, carefully locked the door, and
ten minutes later was admiring her new
ard strangely clad ankles.

To Mend Agate Teakettle


Dear Madam have a large agate tea 20
kettle. II has sprung leak around the spout.
Can you suggest something to mend II with. as
can't afford TO throw it away and get new
one? tried several things, but they either melt
or won't hold TO the glazed surface
tMrs) L. McC.
Many utensil authorities are disCouraFing
about attempting TO mend agateware but
one Of them solves your difficulty as fol-
lows;
& II you have applied solder to the leaking
spout the probable reason for its not hold
Ing is that you didn't prepare the surface
TO be mended in the right way. File off all
the rust and break away the little agate
pieces from Immediately around the leak
1T would be well to thoroughly clean the
part to be mended with muriatc acid. which
you can get in a very small quantity in the
drug store In the hardware department Of
the large stores there is sold for twenty-five
cents a small soldering tube that can be
~ ed at home and that is said to mend
Kitchen utensils. There is also a white
powder sold for ten cents for a small can
that Is said to mend agateware success
fully. 1t is made into a paste with cold
water and is simple to use l am sorry TO
say that no one promises that the agate tea
kettle can be made quite like new.

More Halloween

II you are going to mask YOU might
nave moving-piCture party Each char
acter comes as prominent motion-picture
actor or actress, and II is the business of
each guest to identify as many of these
characters as possible. Each character
wears number, and the guests mark dow
on slip of paper which is given TO theu,
at the door what they think the number
aims 70 represent and who the girl or boy is
masquerading. If the members of your
party are not shy and are willing TO get up
and perform, you might set aside a part Of
the evening for making them do a scene
from the photoplay played by the star they
represent.
When you have forty persons TO entertain
playing progressive games at little tables is
very good way to solve the situation All
kinds of foolish games can be PLAYED at the
tables, such as jacks, seeing who can make
the longest pumpkin seed necklace i'm n
given length Of time, cutting witches out of
black paper, drawing Halloween pictures
etc. The couple winning out at each table
always progress. Those who have the most
progress marks on their tally cards get
prizes The tallies can be pictures of little
witches and the prizes can be something ap-
propriate TO Halloween, too.
