Rev. H. B. Torgrimsen and the
speakers for the evening will attend.
It will be strictly a boys meeting.
Mr.. Small said, yesterday that the
boys have on many occasions in the
past proven themselves 100 per cent
loyal and he is expecting some very
great. results from their efforts. The
object is to organize the boys in a
permanent boys organization which
will conduct, the boys part, not only
of the War Savings drive, but which
will work in the succeeding Red
Cross. Liberty Loan and other pa
triotic works which the public is be-
Ing called upon to- perform for their
country. It is very probable that a
similar girls organization will be or
ganized in the near future.

Officers were enthusiastic in telling
OF the loyalty and devotion OF these
naturalized Americans. In the group
were a number of men Of German

SPRINGS, COLO. FRIDAY OCTOBER 1s. 1918
More Gold In Is Years
Than for 400 Years

There has been SO much agita
tion concerning the proposed ad
vance in the price of gold, that
the following taken from CON-
pilation prepared by the National
City bank will be Of interest.
The output of gold for the last
25 years equals the total for four
centuries preceding, and the pro-
duction of silver since 1878 equals
the output for 400 years immed-
lately preceding fe7S.
The gold currency of the world
has doubled in the last 20 years,
while silver has been reduced one
half in that time.
The total production of gold
from the discovery of America
to the present time has been placed
at SIG, SOC, 100000 i'll value, and the
production of silver at SIS, 100000,
900 in coming value.
The gold money of all countries
of the world for which statistics
are available in 1896 reached a
total of "a, l44,OOOOOO.
On January l, 1917, the ag-
gregate was SIS, ,25S,OOO, 900. In
1896 the silver money of these
same countriesIamounted to 81, 237 ,
100000, while in 1916 it had
shrunk to $2,44l 100000.
The uncovered paper money
hot completely protected by,
gold--of the countries in question
was placed in 1896 at $2,5sS 900,
900, and in 1916 at IS, ,5S3, 100000.
The production of over $4,000,
100000 worth of gold in the last
quarter of a century, compared
with $S,OOO,OOO,OO in the preced-
ing 400 years, has taken place
chiefly in the last decade.
Down to 1855, the worlds gold
output never reached as much as
$1OO,OOO,WO annually. In 1896 it
was little more than S2OO,OOO
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1918-10-18

600, and in 1898 for the first time,
it exceeded S3OO,O0O,OOO. while in
1906 the mark of S4OO,OOO,OOO was
crossed.
The chief gold producing coun-
tries of the world are South
Africa, the United States, Aus
tralia, Russia and Canada, while
the chief silver producing coun-
tries are the United States. Mex
leo, Canada and Peru.
The more gold the world pro-
duces the higher all other prices
will go, which is really equivalent
to gold getting cheaper as it be-
comes more plentiful.

Colorado at the age of 20 years.
In 1905 Mr.. Hanson and Miss
Edith Toms were married at Idaho

them we're born a son and daugh-
ter, both of whom remain with the
widow to mourn the untimely death
Of splendid husband and father.
There are also surviving, the
mother, three sisters and FIVE
brother in Minnesota.
Mr.. Hanson was fine in ply
sique as well as in character,
amiable of disposition, never harsh,
and numbered his friends by his
acquaintance. At the time of his
death, he was in charge of the
business of the Colorado Power
company in Georgetown and was
a valued employee. He had been
unanimously chosen by the re-
publican party as their candidate
for sheriff, and stood an excellent
chance of becoming the next
sheriff of Clear Greek county.

How TO Guard
Against influenza
Cover up each cough and sneeze,
If you don't you'll spread dis
ease.

DR.. Fred H. Weber has brought
in IA complete treatise on "The
Flu issued by the government,
and it declares the disease as easily
contagious, if the patient coughs
or sneezes or speaks forcibly into
the face of another. elzEda
Symptoms are much more severe
than in an ordinary cold, but OF
somewhat the same nature. In
most cases the patient feels sick
and faint or dizzy, and has pains
in the head, eyes, ears. or back, is
sore all over, and sometimes
vomits. He looks sick.
1t is important to keep the body
strong, by having a proper pro-
portion of work, play and rest, by
keeping the body well clothed, and
by eating plenty of nourishing and
we'll selected food. Milk is one
of the best foods for children.
There is close relation between
the spread of the disease and over
crowded homes. The value of
fresh air cannot be over emphas-
lied.
Do not inhale the air breathed
out by another person. Keep the
children at home, but in the air
as much as possible. If you must
care for the cases of the disease,
keep pad of several thicknesses
of gauze over the nose and mouth.
The patient should go home
and 60 to bed, and no one but the
nurse should be allowed in the
room. All discharge should be
collected and burned. The patient
should have water, and a light
sponge, and a cold compress on
the forehead. Only such med
icine should be given as is pre-
scribed by the doctor The nurse
should wear a large, loose apron
to be slipped off when she leaves
the room
A person having only mild at
tack may give severe attack to
others.

Every precaution is being taken
to prevent the spread of Spanish
influenza in Idaho Springs, and
the diligence of officers and of the
people seems to be producing de-
sired results While the situation
is alarming, there are not the large
number of cases, and not such a
large percentage of deaths result
ing. As soon as seemed necessary,
schools were closed and all public
gatherings prohibited, and recent
ly the following proclamation by
the mayor was issued:
The doctors of Idaho Springs
pronounce this epidemic Of Span
ish influenza dangerous. I, there
fore, ask all citizens to stay at
home whenever possible: that all
cases of the disease be quarantined
until further notice. The streets
and alleys will be sprinkled and
fumigated, lime placed in the re-
sorvoirs, and carbolic acid sprink-
led on the streets. The city fur
ther requests citizens living in
steep places where the sprinkling
wagon cannot go, to sprinkle their
respective streets with garden
hose. The city further requests
every citizen to do all in his power
in assisting the doctors and the
board of health to stamp out the
disease, and to comply with this
proclamation. Signed by Mayor
