DENTISTS IDEA OF HUMoR
Seems Mean to Invite Man to Lunch
and Then Fix Him So He
Can't Eat.

1t was noon when we dropped into
the dentists office. The doctor greeted
us cordially as we fell into his chair
and prepared to submit ourselves to
torture.
There was the usual clatter of in
struments on the white tray as we
opened our jaws and the dentist peer
ed into them. This time his object of
attention was the cavity from which
he had recently extracted tooth.
"What are YOU going to do after l
get through?' said the doctor mildly.
Between his fist and his mirror we
blurted out something about lunch
"GO to lunch with me, will you?'
We nodded our assent and then II
happened. Something that felt as big
as n crOwbar is and was as sharp as IL
new safety razor blade is supposed to
be went up into the roof of our mouth.
When we landed down again on the
chair and the pain had eased off
trifle we started to laugh.

PINTO BEAN DAY EACH WEEK.
Governor Gunter, In Proclamation,
Urges Substitution Of Product for
All Meat on Tuesdays.

All Meat on Tuesdays.
Denver.-The increased consump-
tion of Colorado pinto beans as a sub
stitute for meat on meatless days is
urged upon the people OF the state in
a proclamation issued by Governor
julius C. Gunter. The following is the
proclamation:
Inasmuch as the United States food
administration, of necessity. has desig-
mated Tuesday of each week as meat
less day; and,
Whereas, the Colorado pinto bean
is the best and most available sub
stitute for meat of all kinds and
should be used by Colorado people.
because
l. A pound of Colorado pinto
OF sirloin steak, 2.01 pounds of round
steak. or 1876 eggs.
2. Careful analyses by government
and state authorities show the food
value OF Colorado pinto beans to be
equal to and even superior to navy
beans.
3. The Colorado pinto bean has
been developed as most successful
crop under dry farming conditions.
4. Colorado raised In 1917, in re-
sponse to the plea for increased food
production, five times the quantity
produced In 1916 and there are now
in the hands of the growers 100000
pounds seeking market at a price
much less than that at which navy
beans are sold
5. The use of this excellent article
of food by all Colorado will relieve the
necessity OF importing other foods and
therefore release for government use
rolling stock needed for other pur-
poses.
6. The greater use of Colorado
pinto beans will raise the price to the
grower; will reduce the price of east
ern grown beans to the consumer and
will at the same time, encourage the
greater production of this staple
article of food in response to war de-
mands.
Z. Coloradoans should encourage
the use of pinto beans as home pro-
duct because the crop Is capable of
greatly increased production in this
state.
8. The growth of this crop will put
the ground in excellent condition for
the planting of wheat rye and furnish
valuable by-products for live stock.
8. Pinto beans are easily stored
and handled, are non-perishable and
do not depreciate with age.
Now, therefore, all Colorado fam
lilies. hotels, restaurants, boarding

use Colorado pinto beans as a substi-
tute for meat on Tuesday Of each

Copenhagen, Feb. A copy OF a
pamphlet issued by the independent
Socialists, which reached Copenhagen,
shows that the strike in Germany was
prepared by them. The pamphlet
points out that the Pan-Germans have
brought the peace negotiations and
the future of Germany into great dan
ger.
Admiral Won Tirpitz, leader of the
Fatherland party, after an interview
with the imperial chancellor, declared
that he was satisfied with the govern
ment's plans concerning the east. Such
declaration. says the pamphlet,
proves that the government is in col
lusion with the advocates of violence,
the only place where the annexation
ist policy could be attacked, is closed
and other means of criticism made i'm
possible by the government.
Our press is gagged. our comrades
are imprisoned, and the factories to a
still greater extent are materialized,'
continues the pamphlet.
Men and women of the working
classes, there is no time to lose, After
the horrors and horrible suffering we
nave undergone, a new and frightful
disastc threatens our people-yes,
even the V hole of humanity.

anti-tip statutes on the books Of some
states they were unable to make it a
national issue in the stamp sale cam
paign.

demning it as a useless and ~extrava-

habit still continues to grow with US.
This is the first opportunity sug-
