DO YOU KNOW
The People OF Denver and Vicin-
ity Have Been systematically
Robbed by the Undertakcrs'
Combine?

For years the people Of Denver have
had TO pay from 800 TO 5000 for the
ordinary funeral services. Let us see
what the people have been receiving
for this money: First, they have been
charged S25 to S35 in most cases. for
cmbalming. Let US see what it cost
the undertaken for this service: The
total cost of all materials will not
exceed SO and to do frst-class work
will not require longer than two hours
in nine out of ten cases. Now let us
see what these embalmers are paid
for this work. On investigation we
find that over two-thirds are paid less
than $50 per month. and over half
receive less than s75, and they are
expected to work day and night. when
there is work TO do.
The average cmbalmer receives
about $3.50 per day and yet the un-
dertakers of Denver have the nerve
to charge the people of Denver and
vicinity from 500 to s32 for this cm-
balmer's two hours work (deducting
So for the materially or from Sl1 to
SIG per hour for his services. Is il
fair? Is il just? Is it honestf These
are actual facts and we stand ready
TO prove them.
We have recently issued catalog
setting forth reasonable prices at
which caskets should be sold and to
those who have not received this cat
alog we will, on request, be glad to
mail one. There are few items
which we did not cover in this cat
alog. Our prices on the additional
expenses such as hearsc, limousines,
embalming and attendance. is just one
half the combine prices. For example:
They charge SIS for hearse (Which
takes about two hours); we feel that
$3.50 will give US reasonable profit.
and $3.50 is our price. Limousines. our
price Is just one-half of S7.50, which
they charge. or S375. We believe you
will agree with us this is sufficient.
We believe the people of Denver and
vicinity are willing to pay reasonable
profits for these services, but we also
believe they do not want to be robbed
and be forced to say they like it, as
in the past they could not help them
selves. II the people of Denver and
vicinity will give this concern their
cooperation we can and will maintain
these prices.

Howard, who gives her personal at
tention to all arrangements.
Yours truly,

 The plaintiff was engaged as ranch hand on one of the ranches operated by the company which has interests in Yavapai and Coconino counties. He claims that the injury from which he is suffering occurred through the negli- gent disregard of his rights. He fur tber claims that the company ne- glected to furnish him with safe and proper tools and competent and cap- able men to assist him in his work.
 The plaintiff is 2S years old and was capable, he says, of earning s10o a month up to the time of his accident. For the loss of time in which he has been unable to work, he asks s2.oOO. $500 for medical attention, $500 dam ages and for being permanently in jured, s7,500, making a total of s17,5OO

HINDENBURG IMAGE
 REVIVES OLD RITE

The lawsuit at Berlin between the designers and the carver of the big wooden statue of Hindenburg of which so much has been said by way ot praise and blame, has been decided in favor of the designer. It is not yet entirely covered with the nails that will turn it into an idol clothed in mall. Says the Art World:
 '.The wooden colossus at Berlin rep resenting Field Marshal von linden burg is being studded with bronze, sil- yer and gold nails through the zeal of the faithful, who give so much per nail for the privilege of driving certain number into the surface of the statue. Is this a revival of some long forgotten rite in connection with the shapeless effigies, mentioned by Adam of Bre- men and other antiquaries of the mid dle ages. as idols of the pagan Slavs who were ChriStianized at a compara- lively late period? Or are there found any traces of similar rite among the Saxons, who were Christianized off, hand and en masse by Charlemagne i'll the eighth century? Did they drive nails in tho Irmin- Sul which was sup posed to have something to do with Arn1inus, who slaughtered the Ieaions of Rome under Quintillius Narus in the reign of Augustus. Near Detmold there is a colossal statue of Arminius by Bandel to celebrate this famous Roman defeat created in 1875.
 "The Bible has not certain record of such a rite, although Isaiah says: .Fasten him as nail in a sure place, and in Ecclesiastes the nail is cited along with the goad as metaphor for | words that drive in an argument: The | words Of the wise are as good as nails l fastened by the masters of assemblies There are, however. trace in Italy Of q | fashion of driving nails in the temple

 Citizens took the matter seriously and some of them evidently thought the proceedings were official. The day before the drawing more than 600 visited the Red Cross headquar- ters and enlisted to avoid the ignom iny of conscription. All members of the Red Cross. whether enlisted or conscripts. were required to put up membership fee of $1.

 According to the story of Miss Lakes, she first met Land in Ohio where their flrst child was born Repeated prom ises from Land that he would divorce his wife and marry her, prompted her to continue her relations with him, she says. They went to California and in san Bernardino their second child was porn. They then came to Phoenix where Land has been employed on a ranch. She has never lost confidence in the man who promised to right the wrong of years ago until he told her the other day that he intended to en- list. She then complained to the au- thorities with the result that Land was arrested on the bastardy charges,

Bank Leftover Meats and Vegetables
For Next Days Soup, Advises Biddy Bye
IT'S Like Putting Away Your Extra
Pennies for a Rainy Day.
BY BrDtDY BYE.

Bank your surplus and leftover
foods in the soup kettle!
The wartime cook can put away ex-
ira potatoes, carrots. tomatoes and
other vegetables, also the essence Of
bones and meat scraps by turning
them into soup, meanwhile having as
much fun as the child who drops PEN
MES into a toy bank.
BY preparing a can Of soup at a
time. her cupboard shelves will look
as precious to her next winter as the
safety vault Of a bank.
But canning soup is still SO much
of a novelty to the average cook that
she shuns the experiment. Thus she
is like a soldier who disobeys orders.
Save everything" is Uncle Sans
command. Which means, Don't rely
only on old ways of saving but try all
of the new"
So here is how to use your soup ket-
tie as a savings bank.
Make any good soup after your
favorite recipe. turn it into hot steril-
lied glass jars, screw down covers
loosely, set the Jars into a water
bath, and sterilize 80 minutes. Seal
and cool gradually.
1t is afgood plan to cook down the
soup to a thicker consistency than is
desirable for serving, and to add more
water when a can is opened. This
saves containers, which are now high
priced.
The vegetable portion Of the soup
may cbe canned alone, and the stock
or broth added when required. Good
soup mixtures like good salads, are
often made by putting together the
things one happens to have on hand.
A sample mixture which will make
a delicious soup when meat stock is
added consists Of n part onions, 8
parts celery (le1ves and stalks), 4
parts okra, 4 parts dried peas, 4 parts
parsley, 8 parts turnips. 6 parts lima
beans. 6 parts cabbage, and 16 parts
carrots. Soak the lima beans and
peas over night and boil one-half
hour. Blanch the other vegetables by
plunging in boiling water for 8 min
utes and then into cold water. Cut
the celery and onions fine, and chop
the other vegetables into cubes. Nix
thoroughly and season to taste. Pack
in hot sterilized glass Jars and fill with
boiling water. Partially seal the Jars,
set in a water bath and sterilize 90

The war has restored the kitchen
to Its pioneer importance as the CEN
ter Of the household. "A woman is
rich OF poor, nowadays, according
to her kitchen economies; a patriot Or
a Stacker according to her kitchen ac-
tivities.
For a generation, woman has been
endeavoring to escape from all kitch-
en- connections. She has refused to
think, except under compulsion, about
cooking and baking and canning and
dishwashing. Consequently, when
ever the Job was thrust upon her, she
has gone about it in the longest and
most tiresome way.
II love to make salads, but I sim
ply hate dishwashing,y says many a
housewife with a little air which she
mistakes for proper pride.
Now come wars necessities, to ele-
vate all kitchen work, including con-
scientious dishwashing, to the dignity
Of patriotic duty, to make the wom-
an who shirks as great a to
her country ais the soldier who ne
elects to, take care of his arms.
