LOVE NOR MONEY WON'T
BUY EXTRA BUTTER IN
The Denver HOTELS
FARMEas ASKED TO SAVE AS.
MUCH AS CITY FOLKS ARE
COMPELLED TO CON-
SERVE.

THE scarcest food article II the
world today is butter.
Five dollars will not buy an extra
piece of butter in Denver restaurants
Tho half-ounce per person per I ea
serving of butter permitted in the res
taurants and hotels of Colorado Is the
absolute limit. That limit is set b.
necessity. 1t may be further reduce.
In the hC,nes, if greater butter ani
other fat envirg is not effected, there
will he nothing left for the Food Ad-
f.liniatration to 90 but to introduce
some restricted raticning systo'a
Mr. fIoover's pledge Of 100000
tons of meats and fats for Europe
must he met"
This IS the concise statement of the
butter situation in Colorado issued by
Robert j. Grant, executive manager
of the state food administration.
That the food administration Is
strictly enforcing the existing regula-
tions on butter and cheese, IS shown
by the records of informal hearings
given Denver restaurant rlen last
week who violated these rulings.
Even If consumers butter cards
should be issued to curtail the states
consumption of butter, these cards
would not effect the use OF butter by
farmers who produce their own cream
cry products. The Food Administra-
ton therefore will make special ap-
peal to farm ers to save voluntarily on
their own abundant tables. just as city
people are arbitrarily restricted In che
use OF butter and cheese.

SMILES AND TEARS GET MIXED.

Two little stories came TO the Red
Cross headquarters from over the seas
n short time ago One was IL story OF
bravery that brought the tears, and
one a tale of tears that brought smiles.
The first story was of n soldier who
asked for light. He was in bed, and
II cigarette was between his lips, plac-
ed there by the nurse after she. had
finished spreading his blanket up
smoothly. AT his question, she turned
and gave him II box of matches and
hurried on, then remembered that the
arms beneath the blankets were with
out hands.
Nurses have to be without tears, but
there were tears in her eyes us she
turned to strike the match ana light
the cigarette for him.
Quit that" he said. they were good
mIts, and they helped get three or four
Germans before lost them, but they
amt worth crying about, so thcre!"
And the tears story thnt brought
smiles? Well, that was the story of n
big, husky, colored man, who sat read
ing, and the Red Cross worker at the
canteen saw that he had tenrs running
down his checks. She was curious to
know what he might he reading and

HENS AND FARMERS TO
CCLLABORATE on 4
MIRACLE.

Can you make two eggs grow
where only one grew before?
The U. S. Food Administration
says the patriotic poultryman
will have to accomplish this
miracle and the food board isn't
a nature falser either!
According to the Food Admin
istration the storage stocks of
eggs are 21 per cent less than
year ago and are rapidly be-
ing consumed.
Bakers used to depend on
Chinese dried eggs for a large
proportion of their baking eggs.
The Importation OF this conmod.
ity stopped last February and
evr since the bakers have had
to be supplied out OF our ma
tional stock OF storage eggs.
Farmers are urIed to meet the
egg shortage by an increased
outpu: Of fresh eggs during the
winter months. The food board
suggests they consult with the
county agent state agricultural
college at Fort Collins. or the
U. S. Department OF Agriculture
for tips on how to increase egg
output

WOMAN is THE
BETTER BETTER HALF

Man only thinks he is the lord of
creation. His. in reality, is the pup
pet crown. The power behind the
throne pulls the strings. Woman
rules by wit, by art, by subtlety.
but chief of her weapons are beauty
Of face and grace of line.
Women feel their sovereignty
grow less sovereign, therefore. as
their. weight increases. This is
fatal error. To prevail, woman
must be graceful. Man will not
escape slavery, but he will be some
one else's slave. That's the rub.
Dominate your figure by means
of Marmola Prescription Tablets.
Reduce it, if necessary, or hold its
trimness intact. You can do so by
taking tablet after every meal

requirement. No exercising is nee

The tablet, unaided. will take off

b. F. KeIths-vaudeyiIIe.

Wartime tragedy and the gayest
of comedy are featured in the bill
at B. F. Keith's this week.
Derwent Hall Caine is responsible
for the martial note that reminds
the audience of the Franco-English-
American battle line that is holding
so bravely today under the onslaught
Of the Kaiser's shock troops.
Marie Nordstrom brings to the pro-
gram some of the most clever and
deftly burlesqued comedy OF the
vaudeville season.
In 1.-The Iron Hand" Derwent Hall
Caine and A. f. AnSon respectively
depict a young Belgian lieutenant
trapped in the enemy lines and a Ger
man captain who is the incarnation of
the Prussian military spirit. How
the young Belgian turns the tables on
his captors furnishes material for the
plot. Edna Walthers shows real
emotional power in her characteriza
ton Of the young wife of the Belgian
whom he sacrifices to his ideal of
duty. Philip Tonge distinguished him
self as a Belgian soldier of the ranks
who is made to feel the weight of
the implacable mailed fist.
Marie Nordstrom makes a wonder
full lady lawyer. even though she
has a weakness'for the pretty young
man who is her stenographer. "Mary's
Hats gave Miss Nordstrom the
chance to demonstrate how charming
she can look in any kind of head
gear. She concluded her act with a
bit of verse. Half the Battles Won
II You'll Only Remember to Smile"
Mcintosh and his Musical Maids
made decided hit with their Scottish
numbers. As drummers, the three
Maids" demonstrated just how to
knock the mischief out of the
tympani. The vivacious little slide
trombone player is evidently a rela-
ton of the seven Sutherland Sisters.
In Cured" Charlie Howard depicts
the delirium tremens of an ice-cream
soda fiend. Bert HanIon entertained
his audience with a description of
his astronomical preferences. Susan
Tompkins impressed her audience
with the spirit and technique of her
violin playing; especially effective
was the faintly-woven beauty of the
Rose in the Bud" Keno, Keys and
Melrose combine physical and mental
acrobatics successfully. Palfrey, Hall
and Brown present an enjoyable
melange of trick bicycle riding and
Spanish dancing.
