FLU" SITUATION GRADUALLY
CLEARING IN METROPOLIS
Country Districts, However. Still
Show Spread Of Disease and
Deaths In State Many.

| Denvers closing ban, clamped
tight Sunday, Oct. 6, as q result OF
the Spanish influenza wave, will be
lifted next Monday if conditions
continue to improve in Denver and
the situation in surrounding towns
is such that the health OF the COM
munity may not be menaced by
such action, says Wednesdays Dem
yer Post.
Dr. William II. Sharpley, manager
OF health, has firmly made up mis-
mind that to lift the ban Saturday
Of this week would be too great q
| risk. While the cOntagiOn is well in
hand in Denver, surrounding COM
munlties cannot say as much, and
| it is feared that relaxation OF
Denvers regulations might result
in many injected persons coming
into the city during the weekend.
Taking all things into consider
ation,' said the manager of health
Wednesday,, II am convinced now
that we can open schools, theatres,
churches and all other indoor and
outdoor assemblies by Monday
with safety. 1 would not sanction
opening earlier. Denver may be
safe, but other communities have
not passed the crisis. Denver is the
commercial, political and, in many
respects, amusement center of the
state, and we don't want to endan-
ger ourselves and the people who
might come in by annuling our
rules too early. 1t is far better to
be safe than sorry in such an emerg-
ency as this. BY Monday, am quite
sure, we will be able to open every
thing with safety"
But two new cases have developed
in Holly since last Thursday, and
these are said to be light.

EVERYONE IN U. s. MUST
SAVE $50 POUNDS OF FOOD
Gard Campaign to Begin Soon All
Through the Nation for the
Years Conservation.

Every man, woman and child in
the United States must save $50
pounds Of food between the 1918
harvest and the 1919 harvest, says
an item in q Denver paper. At
least, the people of this nation
must average such a saving if Fed
eral Food Administrator Herbert
Hoover is to fulfill his pledge by
sending l4,5OO,OOO tons Of food to the
allied countries next year.
The 35Opound average is lis
pounds per person more than was
saved for Europe during the last
year.
This great saving is to be effected
through u hOme-card campaign. The
food conservation cards are to be
placed in every kitchen in the ma
tion. There will be 100000 cards
placed In Colorado kitchens and
ZO,OOO,OOO in the nation.
The hOmecard campaign was orig
inally planned for Oct. ~, but now
has been postponed to Dec. 2 be-
cause of the FLU" epidemic.

The official copy OF the note was
delivered to Secretary OF State Ian

Swiss charge d affairs, just before III
o'clock. A copy at once was sent to
the White House. Then the Off

state department translatOrs to
compare it with the unofficial note
sent out from the German station
at Nouen, Germany, which has been
in the hands of this government
since Saturday.
Officials said it was impossible
just now to say when the plan OF
action of the president would be
revealed. 1t all depended on the
exchange of communications by
the state department and the

About Forty-Five Carloads Ship

Past Week-Stock Raising Fest
ure of Lower Arkansas Valley.

approximately 45 carloads or
5000 head of stock cattle and feed
ers have been shipped into Holly
from New Mexico within the past
week, the most of which will be
Wintered here.
These cattle are being handled
by Il. M. Amerine and son, c. E.
Amerine, and j. G. McKibben, well
known stockmen here.
Nearly ~ carloads of these cattle
came in here within the past week,
numbering 1880 head. OF these, L.
wv head will be shipped to the
Kansas City market tomorrow.
Some 500 will be taken to large
pasture south of Las Animas and
the remainder will be pastured and
led near Holly during the winter
and spring.
Both the Amerines and McKib-
ben are successful stOckmen and
Ieed more or less every winter. These
cattie, however, are not to be full
led but will be pastured as long
as possible and then fed oil meal,
nay, etc, the balance OF the time.
This is matter of some CONNER

FOODS THAT AFFECT VOICE
Spices and Condiments to BE Avoided
BY Those Who Use Their Organs
Of Speech Much.

Certain foods or spices exercise a
positive influence upon the voice. The
voices Of the alcoholist and smoker
are well known proofs for this asser-
tion. Saliva, owing to its soothing
effect, improves the voice. Vinegar,
ON the contrary. has quite contrary
effect. The harshest voices have.
among men, the cider drinkers. and,
among women, the pear eaters. There
are, on the other hand. some spices
that affect the voice favorably. Thus,
sweet oranges are favorable, and un-
fermented lemon Juice mixed with wa.
ter is excellent for the voice. What,
however, should be avoided In all
Goods is pepper and. for the same rea.
son. also all excessively spiced sauces
and Irritating pastries. Sugar often
causes infiammable irritation Of the
palate and a tagging of the vocal
cords. Sugared dishes, creams, com.
potes. ETC.. must as much as possible
be avoided by persons who have to
use often and much their organs Of
speech.
