WHEN HEART ACTION STOPS
Not Always Easy to Assign 4 Reason
for That Particular Form Of
Ilfe's Ending.

Departments Of health and medical
statisticians rightly refuse to recOg
nize heart failure as definite cause
Of death for their mortality lists, the
term having come to be ready refuge
for ignorant or indolent physicians
looking for an easy explanation Of an
unexpected death. There seem, how.
ever. to be some cases left in which the
expression finds a proper place and
supplies a lacuna In present-day med.
ical knowledge.
Occasionally there is apparently nc
good reason in the heart condition tC
expect that it may suddenly cease Its
activity, and yet 1t actually stops. Ap-
parently the effect of even some slight
irritation becomes SO multiplied In
heart tissues as to bring about a
definite disturbance or rhythm, and
cardiac action ceases for good and all
Not infreQuently such cases come to q
climax shortly after food has been
taken into the stomach; then there
seems TO be some connection between
the gastric condition and the sudden
heart stoppage.
Long ago DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes
suggested that the angel of life sets
this living pendulum going and that II
goes on and on until the angel Of death
breaks into the case and rudely stops
it. The expression is highly figura-
tive and yet contains in 1t the germ OF
the thought that sometimes life's pro
cesses seem to have approached q
terminus, which they may reach unex-
pectedly as the result Of some irrita.
ton that would in itself. presumably
not be sufficient to produce any such
far-reaching effect.-New York Her.

HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE

Central City high school will de-
bate the Wheatridge high school
team Friday right, Jan. 10 at s at
the Presbyterian church. The sub
ject for DEBATE is, resolved, THAT
the United States should maintain a
system of subsidies for the protec-
tion of American nero chant marine -
Our local debaters' are Clarence Aug
er, Margaret Grutzmaoher and Ruth
Tomlinson. The teams of both schools
have been working very hard and the
prospects are for an interesting de-
bate. In order to meet the expenses
1t is necessary to make an admission
charge of 25 cents. We want. at
least. two hundred people to hear
this debate. Support the debate as
loyalty as you do the basket ball
teams, please.

When Life Ii Sweet.

1t is not the walking merely, 1t is
keeping yourself in tune for walk, In
the spiritual and bodily condition in
which you can find entertainment and
exhilaration In SO simple and natural a
pastlme. You are eligible to any good
fortune when you are in the condition
to enjoy a walk. When the air and the
water taste sweet to you. how much
else will taste sweet When the exer-
else Of your limbs affords you pleas
ure. and the play Of your sense upon
the various objects and shows Of na-
ture quickens and stimulates your splr-
1t, your relation to the world and to
yourself Is what 1t should be-simple
and direct and wholesome. The mood
in which you set out on a spring or
autumn ramble or q sturdy winter
walk. and your greedy feet have to
be restrained from devouring the dis
tances too fast, Is the mood In which
your best thoughts and impulses come
to you. or In which you might embarl,
upon any noble and heroic enterprise.
Life Is sweet In such moods, the uni
verse Is complete, and there is no fall
ure or imperfection anywhere.-JOhn
Burroughs.

ARE A PEOPLE OF CONTRASTS
But the Majority Of Italians, Like
Their Country, Have Great Phys
icai Beauty and Charm.

Province by province, Italy mani
tests varying charm, and the people
differ as widely as their surroundings.
The hot-bloOded southerner observes IA
different standard of morals and hy-
giene. fires to anger or interest more
quickly, and is generally less depend
able and Industrious than his northern
brother. Both are gifted with the black
eyes and hair and the swarthy COM
plexiOn, as a race, that is general
characteristic of the Latin people. But
the italian is, broadly speaking, like
his country, endowed with a physical
beauty and charm beyond that of most
Of his fellows.
In the north, however, remarks a
writer in the National Geographical
Magazine, there are exceptions-fair-
haired and reddish men and women,
who seem strangely out of place among
their dark neighbOrs. Cool, tempera-
ture exotics they are among the higher
cOlored grOwths that somehow seem
so tropical, with their sultry smiles and
fathomless, mysterious eyes, in which
forever bro0ds the shadow Of the pur-
pie mountains that always and every
where dominate all Italy, even to the
delightful carabinieri or rural guards,
those NapOleOnic-lOoking officials who
parade always solemnly in pairs, hang
ers at their sides, cockades in their
black beavers, the majesty of the law
In every line and footstep.

Medicinal Value Of Lemons.

If the testimony Of the Sicilian Ci-
trus chamber is given due considera-
ton in determining the status of u
lemon 1t deserves an important place
In the list Of first aids. According
to the authority mentioned the lemon
aids are chiefly medicinal and hygi-
enic. Its juice is Of value In treat
ing diphtheria and gout. For ordin-
nry colds 1t is a great specific. It will
cure slight wounds and chilblains. The
juice of several lemons taken every
day will help to cure rheumatism and
provide an antidote for diabetes; the
small slices applied to corns will ease
the pain.
As cleansing agent and beauti-
fier, the reputation Of the lemon scars
still higher. The Juice whitens the
hands. improves the complexion, helps.
II anything can, to remove freckles. In
the culinary department 1t ranks with
salt and sugar In general usefulness.
and as furniture polish Its oil Is
beyond reproach.

WOMEN FOND OF SACRIFICE
sseuIngIy No Extremes to Which They
Will Not Go for the Husband
They Love.

Women often rush In where angels
with any kind Of judgment would fear
to go. Strong men are faint-hearted
by comparison to good-intentiOned
women in their reckless dashes, usual
ly to give assistance to or throw some
protection around a man.
A case In point Is that Of Califor-
MIA woman who has just offered to give
up her children and sacrifice herself
In a devoted effort to make a man of
her husband, rancher. Trying to
make man Of husband is Job none
but woman In whose veins flows the
blood Of martyrs would think of. Many
women have tried 1t. but who knows
their names7 How many have any
thing better than the frayed and tat
tered remnant of lifetime wasted In
endeavor to make miracle one of the
routine duties Of domesticity? Only
the woman with the self-sacrificing in
stinct cultivated to the precipice Of
genius tries It,
If he Is not up to the lowest limit of
tolerance-a common weight-by the
time he is-Oh. whatever age he hap
pens to be when she has him thrown
on her hands-she may as well make
up her mind to take him as he Is. If
nature, through the centuries during
which men have been evolving, could
not do better with him than what she
sees has been done, why should one
lone woman hope to take 1t up there
and make him into man? Yet here
is woman who has lived with him
long enough to be convinced, Offering
to give up her children for one more
chance to turn husband into man
before she acknowledges defeat.
1t is not alone great military men
who don't know when they're beaten.

England, and that bunch of conceit
Teddy Roosevelt. have for a long
time been abusing the administration
for not interfering with the affairs
of stricken Belgium, that Germany
has overrun. But is this incident diff
ferent from that which England is
now doping out to Greece, neutral
nation, by assuming that might makes
right, by arbitrarily removing their
king and placing upon the throne
one selected by England and France?
We do not wish to cover Germany s
faults. but in some respects the one
is as despotic as the other. Let this
country show no favor, that will en-
broil us in this shameless and un-
principled war.

SCHOOL NOTES
(By Elizabeth Ruie).

Mrs. Ashbaugh gave fine talk on
that a number of the nurses married
doctors, although one of the rules
seems to be not to flirt with the in
ternes. A number of the girls hur-
ried out after the talk to ask Mrs.
Ashbaugh If she thought they might
be nurses. We wonder why?
The Freshman program given last
Friday afternoon was the best of the
class programs. The class seems to
be able to show even the Seniors
something worth seeing.
The basket ball game played with
the Idaho Springs H. S. teams last
Friday night was witnessed by large
number of boosters. The games were
well played. The boys score being
26 to II. Although the Idaho boys
won our boys fought hard and well
for the honors. The Central girls
team won, score Us to II.
The entertainment given at the H.
S. building after the game, was great
ly enjoyed by all. The Idaho teams
leaving about 1890. They had cold
ride over and back, but we were so
glad to see so many over.
Exams, exams, exams. That's all
we've heard this week hut they are
over and grin is on even the Fresh
mems faces.
We would like to see everyone at
the debate by G. C. U. H. S. team

A USEFUL FARCE

With the exception Of Theodore
Roosevelt, there is no more persistent
and resourceful self-advertiser in the
United States than Thomas w. Law
son.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Lawson
jumped simultaneously into the lime
light as soon as Representative Wood
introduced his resolution for an in
vestigation of the alleged Wall Street
leak" in connection with the presi-
dents note to the belligerents. While
Mr.. Lawson was smearing mud over
a majority of the members Of con-
gress, Mr.. Roosevelt was smearing
mud over the Wilson administration.
Mr.. Lawson boasted about his own
profits from the "leak," and Mr..
Roosevelt wept bitterly over the
plight of the stock-gamblers whom he
transformed into small investors u
In fact, 1.-The net effect" of the pres
ident's note, in Mr.. Roosevelt's oIin.
ion, was to ruin an immense num-
ber of small investors who were not
forewarned."
For two days Mr.. dawson has been
edifying the Rules Committee of the
House with a vaudeville performance
in which he has exploited his COM
plete. ignorance of the so-oalled scan
dal in all it's phases. Mr.. Roosevelt
has maintained a discreet silence
since the Lawson performance began,
but perhaps he is so choked with
emotion over the wrongs of the
"small investor" that he can no long
er talk.
In any event, no more ridiculous
exhibition than this investigation has
ever been staged within the halls OF
congress. The representative who in
troduced the resolution has publicly
admitted that he had no information.
He drew his inspiration from letter
written by a man Of whom he had
never heard and who apparently has
no tangible existence. Cn the strength
of this communication he proposed
an inquiry that amounted to no more
than a casual fishing expedition. All
the gossip of Wall Street and Wash
ington has now teen turned into a
single sewer for examination, and not
a single definite fact of importance
has thus far been brought to light

Good In Reading.

An antagonistic influence to reading
exists in some quarters in the curious
ly mistaken idea that 1t hinders the
development of individuality, making
copiers instead Of originatOrs. Any
knowledge Of the history Of great men
and women proves the absolute falsity
OF this; moreover. the conscious de-
sire to be original which such an
attitude on the part Of grown-ups
leads to In children Is very bad. One
never heard Of great men being pre-
occupied with the endeavor to be orig
inal. Observation, again, is increased
rather than the reverse by the habit
Of reading. Those children into whose
lives books other than as enforced
lessons never enter are as rule singu-
iarly nobservant-proof that the
brain must be behind the eyes In OBJ
servation, just as 1t must be behind
the hand In technical work.

its "conaress."

The affectation Of calling congress
"the congress" seems to be quite wide
spread among those who address that
body officially or think they must be
strictly accurate in speaking Of 1t. Yet
the Constitution Of the United States,
which created 1t, called 1t "a congress-
in first naming 1t, and In other place
calls 1t sometimes congress" and
sometimes "the with small "t")
congress" Just rs the construction Of
the sentence and the euphony of sound
would dictate. Nobody need think he
will be unconstitutional II he omits

Poles Penrose, the old Republican
political boss of Pennsylvania, has
again ridden over the conservative ele
ment Of the party by electing Rich.
ard j. Baldwin, one of his political
henchmen, speaker Of the house OF
representatives. The strength OF the
party under his leadership is fast
dwindlipg as is evidenced by the vote
at the last election. At the last No.
vember national election, the party
gave the smallest Republican vote
and the smallest Republican plural
ity In twenty-five years, and under
the leadership Of him and his kind

LET AMERICA PRO-
TEcT HER INTERESTS

When we talk about peace in Eur
ope and the United States entering
into International treaties with these
countries, is it not well to pause and
consider our well being before taking
this untried and unrealized step?
The Monroe doctrine by its very
nature, has heretofore isolated this
country from foreign entanglements
regarding division Of the countries OF
the earth, and is 1t not well for us
to continue to protect the smaller
countries of this western continent,
than to form any alliance with the
monarchial countries of the east?
Republics and monaro HES cannot
very well blend, as the one is in
direct conflict with the other. A mon
arohy is governed by a certain line
of ancestry, and its history shows
Imperialism and acquisition of terri
tory by conquest, while republic
derives it's governing powers from the
consent of the governed, and thirsts
for no extended territory.
1t may be well to join with mon
arches in certain international law,
