he has received enthusiastic and eager
assistance wherever he has gone. The
merchants, business men in general
and the farmers recognize the import
ance of the work as relief for rail
road congestion and as help to them
and the state.
Mr. Norton has also urged the estab-
lishment of rural motor express serv-
ices by owners of motor trucks for de-
livery of supplies to the farmers.
Rapid progress has been made by
the highways transport committee
since Gov Julius C. Gunter recently
granted the committee an ample ap-
preparation to develop motor truck
routes as an important war measure.
The Importance of the work for feed
conservation alone may be illustrated
by loss of 1000 pounds of beef on
a railroad platform at Pueblo recently
which would have been avoided had
motor truck routes then been estab-
lished. A large number of transfer
and moving companies desire to start
motor truck services and probably will
soon do so.
In the Arkansas valley return loads
bureaus have been established at La
mar, Las Animas, La Junta, Rocky
Ford and Pueblo. The bureau at Pu-
eblo will be a sort of directing head
for the others in the valley. Bureaus
also have been established at Colorado
Springs, Denver, Loveland, Berthoud
and Longmont.

ERADICATE ALFALFA DODDER
Plants Should lie Cut Close 10 Ground
ed Over Large Area, Eradi-
cation Almost lmpos-
sible.

"An effort should be made to eradi-
cate doddcr in alfalfa while the area of
infection is small, declares Prof. w.
W. Robins, of the Colorado Agricul-
tur;.l College. Prof. Robbins says
alfalfa fields SHOULD be given frc-
qucnt and thorough inspection. A
new stand should be given particular
attention in order that carly infcsta-
tion may be found and promptly
looked after.
"As a rule. in a field of alfalfa. dod-
der appears here and there in patches.
Where such patches of limited extent
ere found, one should cut the infest-
ed plants close to the ground, bcgin-
ming at the outside of the infested
area and working towtrd the center
SO rs not to scatter the seeds of pieces
of vine to doddcr-free places. Burn
the plants as soon as they are dry.
''If the spots are not cut until the
seeds ere ripcncd it will be necessary
to hoe the cut area TO n depth of two
or three inches every few days for
several weeks, in order to induce
termination Of dcddcr seeds and t.
eradicate seedlings. 1t is also ncccs-
sary to carefully watch the alfalfa
plants ct the edges of the area, and
deatroy any upon which dodder makes
its appearance. 1t is well to remem-
Der that when doddcr is once cstab-
lished over large areas, its crndica-
tion becomes almost an impossible
ity."

Gen. Gorgas to Young Women.

Surgeon General w. c. Gorgas of the
United States army has issued the fol-
lowing statement to the young women
of the country in relation to the nurs-
ing campaign, which in Colorado is be
ing conducted by the Woman's Council
of Defense:
81 want every young woman in the
country, every woman between nine
teen and thirty-five, to read carefully
what have to say, and to give it
earnest attention. 1t is message
which every girl ought to welcome be-
cause it tells of an opportunity to help
the nation.
"The army and the country face 4
shortage of nurses.
"The army alone will require some
thing like twenty-five thousand nurses
by the first of next January. We have
secured about thirteen thousand of this
number; we need about twelve thous-
and more. We have got to have them
or the army will run short-and this
would be an outcome increditable and
intolerable to the American people.
"Only graduate nurses who have
been through the full course of train
ing are available for this high service.
These nurses have to be taken out of
the hospitals and from care of the
sick at home. This means that when
we recruit our full quota for the army,
their places in the civil communities
must be filled. Hence this call for
student nurses-to fill the vacancies,
prepare for professional service, and
meanwhile to make it possible for our
hospitals, both civil and military, to
carry on, and for the American people
to hold the health standards of the
country as high as they have ever
been held in times of peace.
"If were a young woman and want
ed to do my country the greatest serv-
ice in my power, / should go at once
to the nearest recruiting station Of the
Woman's Committee of the Council of
National Defense and enroll in the
United States Student Nurse Reserve.
This enrolment would at once make
me a candidate for the Army Nursing
School or for one of the civilian train
ing schools for nurses. i cannot con-
ceive of a more valuable service, a
more womanly service. l can give
every girl who enrolls in the Reserve
my personal assurance that she is
making herself count, and / should be
ashamed of any woman who did not
long with all her heart and soul to
make herself count in the defeat Of
Germany"

Praise for Marines.

The Marine Corps has an able ad-
vocate in the person of Congressman
Fred A. Britten Of Illinois. Mr.. Brit
ten is one of the influential Republic
cans on the Committee of Naval At
fairs, which handles all matters per-
tanning to the Marines, and is in n
position to see that they meet fair
treatment at the hands of Congress.
The wonderful record that the Marines
have made in the vicinity Of Chateau
Thierry during the recent German
drive is particularly pleasing to Mr..
Britten. He cites the affair as another
evidence of the high standard of
soldering maintained by that branch
of the service for the last hundred
years. "The Marines" declares Mr..
Britten, "can Outright, outslug, and
outshoot the Germans at their own
game

Nine yearling steers which had
been fed in beet pulp, cottonseed cake,
suCar beet molasscs, and alfalfa at the
Colorado Experiment Station at Fort
Collins, sold for $l7.25 per hundred
On the Denver market on July IL. This
Is the highest price ever paid for
ycarling steers in the open Denver
market.
The steers were one of six lots of
aine each which were fed this season
t the Experiment Station. this years
fccding terminating a three-year ex-
pertinent to test various feed com
binations. T. +. Leiper, who had
charge of the experiments, says Of
them:
Besides establishing 4 new record
for the Denver market, the steers fed
on beet pulp, cottonsccd cake, sugar
beet molasscs and alfalfa returned
the highest profit per head and were
fed the cheapegt.
"The steers were Moffat county
grade Herefords and they were
bought at the auction sale of the Ma
tional Western Stock Show, Denver,
Jan. 20 for S1O25 per hundred.
Upon arrival at the feed lots they
averaged TAG pounds per head. On
July IL they averaged 1904 pounds
per head.
"A bulletin giving details of this
experiment will be ready for dis
tribution this fall. A study by stock
feeders of the results of this three
year experiment before completing
plans for this winters feeding will
mean better use of present livestock
feeds and larger profits"

The Desire of Power.

The telephone and telegraph legis-
lation was not jammed through the
House without vigorous protest from
Representative Philip p. Campbell OF
Kansas. He insisted that adequate op-
portunity should be given for consi-
deration of the reasons for the pro-
posed radical departure from existing
policy. An effort to avert the threat
ened strike of telegraph operators, to
prevent Government secrets from fall
ing into the hands of the enemy, and
a desire on the part of the Admins
tration for the Government ownership
of all public utilities were cited by
Mr.. Campbell as three of the reasons
advanced in support of the proposed
action. He suspects the last mention
ed as being by far the most powerful
of the three in spite of the fact that

Use Coal Subslitrtss

In those states and communities
where timber is native product,
owners of wood lots should arrange
if possible, to have timber cut r.
fuel. In view of the declaration of
the Fuel Administration that there
is a certainty of shortage of coal. it
is safe to assume that wood will sell
at high price next winter. Every
person who can do 80 should help the

This food is apt to ferment
and decompose, and as result
the familiar distressing symptoms
of dyspepsia may arise. In mild
cases there is nothing more than
an uncomfortable feeling in the
stomach, wi h certain amount of
depression, headache, loss of ap-
petite, perhaps belching of gas
and occasional vomiting. There
may be also accompanying in
testinal symptoms, such as con-
stipation, pains in the back, collie,
etc. There may be only the famil-
lar heartburn, due to the inflam-
nation of the stomach from ex-
cessive gases of fermentation or
putrefaction.
In the most severe cases
those that last over day or two
the symptoms enumerated may
be much more intense. The dis
tress may be marked and the gen.
eral constitutional symptoms
more evident. When this stage
is reached the loss of appetite,
the mental depression and the
general uncomfortable feeling in
the stomach are much more pro-
nounced. This is particularly true
in acute gastritis.
ut frequently occurs from con-
tinued errors in diet that this con-
dition becomes chronic, and the
symptoms persist for an indefi-
mite period: the appetite is very
apt to be varied, altho at times
very good. Heartburn is fire.
quent, II not constant, the stom-
ach is painful on pressure; the
tongue is coated, there is a bad
taste in the mouth and there are
changes in the amount OF the
salivary secretion. Constipation
is also usually present, altho di-
.arrhOea may alternate.
Most cases of dyspepsia can
be cured if the diet is properly
looked after and with the proper
treatment. Proper eating and the
proper amount of food are the
most important features in the
treatment. Most people eat too
fast and eat too much.
There is not single portion
of the body that is not benefited
by the helpful action of Tanlac,
which begins its work by stimu-
lating the digestive and assimila-
tive organs, thereby enriching the
blood and invigorating the whole
system. Next, it enables a weak,
worn-out stomach to thoroly di-
ges. the food, promoting the ASST
initiation of the nourishing pro-
ducts to be converted into blood,
bone and muscle"
Tanlac Is now sold in Tacoma
by French Drug Co. under the
personal direction of a special
Tanlac representative. - (Adver-
tiSement.)
