Nuts and Digestion.

The reason nuts are thought indiges-
tible by some is because Of the thin
skin surrounding each kernel, notes a
medical authority. This can easily be
blanched Off by pouring boiling water
on the nut, and allowing it to stand
for a few moments. Almonds should
never be eaten with the red, tough
skin on the nut meat. When boiling
water is poured Oh the almond, this
skin becomes as tough as leather. The
best way to use nuts for children is to
grind the nut meats or pound them,
for which purpose the nut-butter knife
in the meat grinder will be found the
right tool. A good nut cracker with
strong spring makes nut-cracking
easy, and is preferable to buying the
ready-picked meats on the market.

Got Their "LiVely Time"

A famous lion-tamer tells of queer
Christmas present he once received. 1t
was q consignment from a friend
abroad of three bOa-cOnstrictOrs and
five alligators, with Jim's best wishes
for lively time" The lion-tamer and
his wife got the lively time desired.
He says:
IT shall never forget how annoyed L
was when, during the night, two OF the
alligators broke out of their boxes in
our bedroom and began exploring. L
could not find the matches, and [ and
my wife remained on top Of the bed
canopy till morning. Luckily, my wife
never thought of the thing that wor-
ried me. I was afraid the alligators
might call on the Demonstrators to
wish them Merry Christmas. and so
wake them up too!'

Docs That Follow by Sight.

Hound is term that embraces all
dogs which follow game either by scent
or sight. Of those which follow by
sight the leading variety of the pres
ent time is the greyhound, and along
with this class are also the Irish wolf
hound. the Scottish deerhound and the
Russian wOlfhOund.
Of the hounds that follow the quarry
by scent are the bloodhound, foxhound,
beagle and basset. At one time there
was the large foxhound called the stag

in deer hunting. but this variety has

"Jinqo."

"Jingo" is used as a substitute for
something else, as in the phrases ''B.
George and 'By Jimminy;;" in Gold
smith there is the expression, ''by the
living Jingo," "Jingo" was originally
spilled in Great Britain to anyone who
advocated an aggressive or vigorous
policy in foreign affairs, and came into
existence as a nickname for a support

Folly of RidicuLe.

A moment of indulgence in ridicule
NAV create lifelong resentment, notes
a student.
The late Richard Mansfield is said
to have nursed a grievance against
Henry Irving for years. The reason
was that Irving had momentarily in
dulged a little weakness he had for
making sardonic remarks.
Ridicule of persons strikes at per-
sonal vanity. And vanity is a very
common weakness. Few escape it al
together.
And this kind of ridicule, in fact all
kinds. on examination, will be found
to be associated with vanity. In ridi-
culing there is invariably the desire to
show how clever one is oneself.

The JOY of Living.

To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonably hope to
get much real pleasure out Of life when
bis bowels are clogged good share of
the time and the poisons that should be
expelled are absorbed into the system,
producing headache and Indigestion. A
few doses of Chamberlain Tablets
will move the bowels, strengthen the
digestion and give you chance to re-
alize the real joy Of living. Try it.

TIIIino the Soil.

No race can prosper till it learns
that there is as much dignity in tilling
a field as in writing a poem. 1t is at
the bottom of life we must begin, and
not at the top. Nor should we permit
our grievances to overshadow our OPP
portunity.-Booker T. Washington.

COLORADO WAR STAMP RECORD

During the month of June, Colo
RADIO jumped from 18th to 10th place
in the sale of War Savings Stamps
for that period and from 18th to 18th
place in the total sales from the be-
ginning of the campaign to the end
Of June. During June Colorado sold
$1,372,74231 or $135 per capita
Total sales to June 20, $4,60O,533.-
So as reported to the National Gov
ernment at Washington. The total
cash sales to date as reported into
the Denver office from selling agen-
cies are a little over $4,000, 100000
The total pledges as reported to the
State headquarters since the drive
was s17,017,390 which is just little
more than $2,00O.OOO.00 below Col
orado's quota. In many instances
those who pledged one amount have
purchased almost twice as much as
they pledged.
During the last ten days the state
headquarters have simply been flood
ed on account of extra work produc-
ed by the drive. the distribution of
the plege cars to the selling agencies,
the informing of the selling agencies
how to handle them, the return and
cancellation of the pledges that have
been fulfilled and the answering OF
the thousand and two questions that
have arisen during the drive, have
kept those in charge of the State
headquarters more busily engaged
than at any time since the campaign
started. However, order Is coming
out of chaos and the machinery thru
which the pledges are to be secured
is gradually assuming shape, and will
within the next ten days, be moving
with regular precision and hum.
Colorado people win be pleased to
know that this state stands among
the first five states of the Union
in record during the drive.

COLORADO CROP REPORT

Preliminary reports received by the
State Immigration Bureau from near
ly all sections of the state indicate
that the value of crops grown in
Colordo this year viii be in excess
of $1G0, 100000, as compared with
about $91 100000, 1916. Increases
over the 1917 crop are indicated in
the wheat barley, oats, forage and
hay crops and decreases are almost
certain to be shown in potatoes, sug-
ar beets and tree fruits. There is
apparently slight decrease in the
acreage of alfalfa, but an increase
in acreage of native hay in several
conditions have been favorable for
the maturing of the hay crops and
the yield per acre apparently will
be considerably greater than for last
year, though rain during the haying
season has done considerable damage
in some districts. Late rains have
improved the condition of spring
wheat and oats and the yield per
acre, If favorable conditions pre-
vail during harvest, will be consid-
erable above the average. Pinto
beans and similar crops promise a
much larger vi. Id per acre. than
last year.
