CHILD CANNOT STAND
SAME CUT IN
RATION AS ADULT
Care Should be Exercised in Conserv-
ing Food to Keep Children's Diet
Properly Balanced.

The very special concern of the
family should be the wise adoption
of the average ration allowed in war
time to the very specific needs of the
child, particularly so to those Of the
child under school age. If circum-
stances require cutting down the total
family ration, that cut should be at
the expense Of the adult rather than
the child.
For the child Of the age from two
to six years, there should be but slight
diminution in the fat and sugar al
lowed to the adult That the protein
should be largely provided for from
milk and egg sources necessitates an
allowance of not less than one pint
of milk per day-preferably one
quart When meat is served to the
child-say three or four times a
week-those servings should be small
and of the kind of meat that is tend
er and easy of digestion. At other
times an egg may be substituted for
meat. The further modification in
the food allowance will include a cut
in the amount of cereal, and provis-
ion for the more delicate succulent
vegetables. Fruit should stil hold
a generous place in the diet PLAN

AMONG THE LAWMAKERS
Curtis Rule Saved State Revenues

Washington, Mar. 26.-( Especial cor
respondence)-When only day old,
the new Senate rule to curb the act
Ivities of conference committees was
made to serve an effective purpose in
the railroad bill. The rule, proposed
by Senator Curtis of Kansas, limits
the powers of conference committees
adjusting of differences in the form of
legislation as coming from one house
Of congress to another. Heretofore,
conference committees have been free
o strike out matter which both Hous-
es had agreed upon but which did not
happen to command the approval of
i majority of the conferees, or to add
natter which had never been submit
ed to either House. In the case of the
railroad bill it was the latter course
to which exception was taken. The
plain purpose of Congress was to
leave the power of fixing railroad val
uations for the purposes of taxation
to state authority. The conference
committee, however, undertook to pre-
vent any increase of railroad taxation
by the states during the period of the
government control; and there was
Energetic protestation from state
treasurers and other state officers. The
Curtis rule plainly applied to the sit
uation and its powers were promptly
invoked There was debate, of course
but the situation was clarified by Sem
ltor Gallinger of New Hampshire, who
had collaborated with Senator Curtis
in perfecting the form of the new
rule, and under n motion made by him
the bill was recommittcd and the Of
Tending matter was removed. The re-
suit is that states will be free, as here
toforc, to increase railroad valuations
if conditions warrant it-with cores
ponding benefit to the public treasury.
In Senator Curtis's own state the bene-
fit will be large, if we may judge
from the volume of protest which Kan
sas made to the committees proposal;
and, though the Curtis rule was drawn
without reference to any particular set
of conditions anywhere, it is not like
ly that the people of Kansas will be
unmindful of the benefits which they
have secured from the new rule which
their able representative in the upper
House Of Congress has sponsored and
put through.

No Double Censorship.

Senator John w. Weeks Of Massa-
chusetts is the author Of an amend
ment to the recent deficiency appro-
priation bill that will commend itself
20 every person who has a friend or
relative in France. In effect it for
bids double censoring of the mail. Mr..
Weeks has had brought to his atten-
ton several cases where letters that
were censored before leaving France
were again reopened and censored up
on their arrival in this country. Such
i proceeding the Senator considers an
outrage and an insult to our soldiers
and it certainly is waste of the pub
&c money to pay for two such opera
ions. In reply to u statement of the
Postmaster General that such dupli-
caion is not practiced Senator Weeks
said he could produce envelopes show
ing that their contents had been CEN
sored both in France and the United
States. The amendment to the bill
was agreed to be the Senate, and it
is hoped will remain to become a part
Of the approved law.

Widening Wage Diferentials

Some of our democratic friends who
can't bear the idea of repudiating free
trade, now declare, as one of the reas-
ons for continuing that policy, that
wages abroad have gone up to a point
where they balance those paid here,
and they cite the textile mills in Eng
land and other industries and countries
as examples. But wages have gone
up in the United States, certainly as
much as, if not more than they have
abroad. Even admitting that the per-
centage increase in wages h,rs does
not exceed the percentage increase
abroad, the following condition would

Ducks viii Keep Dandelions Down.

One correspondent, former Colo
RADIO School of Agriculture student,
who writes concerning the control of
dandelions by means of poultry
states that ducks are the most effec-
tive fowls for this purpose. In one
case five ducks were permitted to
have free access to a lawn 80 IT. X
$50 it., during the summer. At the
end of the season the dandelions had
been entirely suppressed without in
iury TO the lawn and did not come
in again until the third season fol-
lowing. The ducks were said to eat
eff not only the tops but to grub out
the roots to some extent. More ducks
and fewer dogs should constitute a
good food conservation motto at this
time.-B. o. Longyear, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo

organization called the sovereignty of

FIRST MILITARY FUNERAL
Lamar Citizens Called Upon TO Wit
ness First Military Funeral for
One of Our NolupteeIs.

The body of Ray Minder, one of the
Lamar boys who volunteered in ans
wer to his country's call some months
ago, arrived in Lamar on Sunday. He
died at the Brooklyn Navy yards
where he was acting as a machinist.
The young man was the son of Mrs.
Fannie Minder, living on homestead
some miles south of Lamar, and was
q fine young man who had made many
friends wherever known. The funeral
services were held at the Methodist
church and were conducted by Rev.
Smith, who delivered an eloquent ser
mon. Short but very impressive talks
were made by Roswell II. Cochran,
Herschel Horn and General Goodale,
the latter speaking as a represents
tive of the soldiers of our country's
greatest war. An escort from Fort
Lyon came down for the funeral, anG
fired a parting salute and sounded
taps. The services were in charge of
the Denver Rifle Club, who acted as
an additional escort
The government shipped the bed!
to Lamar in n good caskct and paid
all expenses, and also notified his
mother not to go to any expense IL
connection with her claims for insur-
ance, etc, as everything would be TAX
en- care of as soon as possible without
any expense to her whatever.

All interests during the next thirty
days will be centered on the 3rd Lib
crty Loan Drive. This is not zone
man undertaking. Nor is it 'one
set of men undertaking"
The campaign will be handled by an
organization, of course. Certain people
have been selected as workers because
Of their willingness, perhaps, of their
ability, or, in some cases, their affilia-
tions. Whoever the committeeman and
committeewOmen are, and however
active they may be, they can't answer
the call for a victorious campaign un-
less YOU do YOUR part.
Remember. every dollar you sub
scribe over and above the Liberty
Bond quota backs our boys; raises the

Arc you--or were you-a pacifist =?
Then listen. IL the war ended today
without decisive defeat of Germany
it would mean victory for military
autocracy EVERYWHERE. All ma
tions-our own included-would be
forced to continue organization on war
basis. The world would be merely a
succession Of armed camps.
The best possible course for lover
Of peace is to pitch in-with gun;
with dollar; or by the food-conserva-
tion route-and do everything human
ly possible to end the war in a glori-
Gus victory for Democracy and the
right.
II is not the intention OF the govern
ment to disrupt farm labor conditions
even for the all important business
Of providing soldiers to fight the kaiser.
Draft registrants, even though they
be listed in the first class, will be al
lowed time to bring in their crops,
provided deferred classification af-
fidavits are filled out by the farmers.
This is an important matter. If you
have either a son or a laborer on your
farm, whose presence you can swear
is necessary, get in touch with the
draft board at once.

In Colorado, for every 100 men
called by the draft board for examina-

cording to statistics recently made
public.
The percentage ranges from IL in
Delaware to so in Wyoming and Lou
isiana. Kansas has credit for 80 out
of every 100; Nebraska, 81; New Mex-
leo. 40; and Texas 36.
From another source we learn that
out of 81 ,OS9 Colorado men examined
physically, 1914 or 71.95 per cent
qualified. The national ratio of men
qualifying for service was 70.S9 per

from a sermon by Lamar minister

An income tax, TO most Of US, is a
new thing. Maybe few Of US, un-
doubtedly, consider it hardship. But
notice:
In England the tax on incomes OF
81 900 is Az per cent; in America
nothing.
In England the tax on incomes Of
81 500 is 2-3 per cent; in America,
nothing for a man with family and
only per cent on surplus for a single
man.
The English tax also increases by
leaps and bounds. A $4,000 income
is taxed Is per cent; $1,000, 16 per
cent; $4,000, 20 per cent; and s15,-
900, % per ccnt,while our correspond
ing taxes for married men are, re
spectively, two-thirds Of one per cent,
IL per cent, 81 per cent and 5 per
cent.
