MRS. FRANK L. MOORE PASSES
AWAY AFTER SHORT ILLNESS

At 80 Saturday morning, at her
home on West Ralston. avenue, Mrs.
Frank L. Moore passed away, after a
rather brief illness from influenza.
About two weeks previous she was
stricken with the dread disease after
nursing her two little boys thru an
attack of it. At first it was believed
her case was going to be light one,
as some of them are, but the early
part of last week, her condition took
turn for tht worse and her death
was hourly expected from Friday
night on.
Agnes L. Mckinney was born at
Karthus, Pa, March LIST, 1885, being
at the time of death almost "a years
old. She was married to Frank L.
Moore, March 10, 1906, and to this
union was born two sons, Kenneth
and Norman, bright and loving
little fellows, who with their heart
broken father, will miss her more
than the outside world will ever be
able to X now.
She was a member of the Baptist
church at Newberry, Pa, having CIV
en- herself to Christ when eighteen
years old.
Mrs. Moore had been a resident of
Arvada for about four years and was
a general favorite with her acquain-
tances, and devoted mother and
companion to her husband, who had
given up very lucrative position in
the east to bring her west in the hope
that her health might be improved.
The funeral took place at 4 o'clock
Monday AFTERNOON, from the Olinger
chapel, where numeruos sympathetic
friends assembled to show the last
token of respect to the departed one.
, Rev. w. A. Pipkin of the Arvada
Baptist church delivered a short SER
mon after which the remains were
taken to Grown Hill cemetery for in
terment.
The pall.bearers were selected
from the Odd Fellows Lodge, Of
which Mr.. Moore is member in good
standing. They were, Noble Grand
Thos. Russell, Warden G. C. Towns
ley, Past Noble Grands E. L. New
comb, Eldro Graves and Ira Kilpat-
rick, and Treasurer Hiram A. Brown.
Mr.. Moore, who for several years,
has worked At various occupations in
ami about Arvada, several times be-
ing clerk in H. J. Juchem's grocery,
will take his little sons, as soon ~
they are strong enough to travel, to
their old home in Pennsylvania,
where he will again follow his former
occupation of silk manufacturing, at
which he is an expert, rs q weaver.

THE PURIFIcArIoN
OF CLEAR CREEK.

On Wednesday, February 10, in
the Senate the mining and agricul-
tural committee of the house of rep
resentatives and the senate listened
to committee of Jefferson county
farmers, who were in support of the
llall-Staley bill in regard to eliminat-
ing mine tailings from Clear Creek.
The farmers who composed the com.
mittee were Messrs. APPEL, Wertman.
Wallick, White, Woodsen, Grattan,
Shirley, Merer and few others. The
above named committee told the SEN
ators and representatives about the
damage resulting from the tailings
in Clear Creek. The mining interests
of the state were well represented,
and they brought forth considerable
opposition to the above bill. One
gentleman in support of the mining
interests even went as far As to call
the farmers a "bunch of jefferson
county agitators.'
The writer would like to ask the
said gentleman where he "fell" into
his rare knowledge and his small
vocabulary? However, the mining
men had the floor last and the farm
ers were unable to contradict some
of their incorrect statements. The
final conclusion was that Md. John
Grattan and Mr.. L. H. Richardson
represented the farmers, who will
meet committee of the mining in
terests and the agriculture. interests
Of the general assembly and try to
amend the present bill 50 as to over
come some of the opposition.

ERA OF PROSPERITY COM.
ING FOR THE DAIRYMAN

The high price of feed and the COM
mon idea among many farmers that
cream and butter prices will drop off
next spring has caused many to sell
their dairy stock. This is n big mis-
take, both from the standpoint Of
cost of feed and from that of period
Of over production after the war, &C
cording to W. F.. Spangle. of the Colo
RADIO Agricultural College. Mr.. Spsng-
Ter says:
1.-THE careless dairyman will readi.
ly accept either one Or both Of these
excuses to make himself believe that
he Is on the wrong track. However,
the thoughtful dairyman can sec a
little further ahead. He knows from
official reports that over four mil
lion dairy cows have been slaughtered
In Europe in the lust year. He knows
that II is only matter Of u short
time until Europe will be calling on
this country for all our surplus dairy
products M well ~ surplus dairy
cattle. He knows that suuch products
Is condensed cream, condensed milk.
and cheese can be transported, and
will be called for for years TO come.
With these facts in view, the careful
dairyman will watch his herd. test
and keep records of each individual
COW, Gull out the sluckcrs, and thus
get his herd ready for his share Of
the demand that will be made upon
the dairy industry in the next few
years"

This community was greatly griev-
ed and shocked to learn Sunday of
the death of Mrs. Harry Garlick, wife
of the exchange manager of the local
telephone system, which occurred at
1880 a. m. Sunday morning, at her
home in north Berkeley.
A baby daughter had arrived to
Mr.. and Mrs. Gsrlick only the preced-

tom was not considered precarious,
at the time, grave fears were felt that
serious complications might set in.

Mr.. Garlick was also quite sick at

SUMMARY OF ROAD WORK
DONE IN JEFFERSON COUNTY

u
Notwith standing the fact that the
county has no outstanding warrants, a
vast amount of work has been done
on the county roads in the past two
years, in fact, more constructive
work than has been done in any like
period, in the history of the county.
A list of the work done in the
above named period is interesting to
the taxpayers:
Wadsworth Avenue, north of Ar
vada, was improved greatly last year
by cutting down the long hill to q
six per cent grade and changing tho
course of the irrigation ditch. putting
it thru concrete flume, in order to
lower the road at that point. The
road between this point and the Moi
fat track was Also graded.
Other work was done at different
points Of the road, particularly be-
tween. 26th Avenue and Colfax Ave-
nue., getting down the high places and
fiillne- In the icw. --s-,. : ss's--1-'---'.
The Brinkerhoff road running
west from Arvada, has been widened
to the Ward road. Several other of
the roads In this part Of the county
have been graded and Avalon Avenue
was extended from the town limits
Of Arvada to College avenue. Con-
siderable grading and culvert were
necessary to improve this road.
West 3Sth Avenue was reseur-
faced from the county line to Wads-
worth Avenue. This road was also
graded.
The road running north from West
i4th Avenue at the east side Of Ben
nett Place WAS also rounded and

HOW CHILL HURTS HEALTH.

Chilling the body reduces the
power of protection against bacteria.
There are certain cells in the body
which are known as phagocytes.
When they come in contact with
bacteria they surround, devour and
digest them. If the temperature Of
the body be abnormally reduced the
phagocytes are not so active. This
partially explains why chilling Of
the body may be followed by an at
tack Of pneumonia. The cold does
not produce pneumonia-no more
than narrowing a field produces .
crop of corn or wheat. Narrowing
tho field prepares it for the growth
Of planted seed; Chilling the body
prepares it for developing the plant
3D. germs. 1t is wrong to speak Of
the cold air treatment of pneumonia.
Plenty Of fresh air, less laden with
germs and the poisons eliminated
from the body. helps to maintain the
lighting efficiency Of the body, pro-
yidsd that the body be kept warm

hone buttons and buttOnhOles. There
is a narrow belt of the material across
the front of the coat with a button
ut each end. Only one button ap-
pears to fasten the front, but its re-
Sponsibilities are lightened by the
nature of the cloth which has a way
of clinging together. Possibly few
little snap fasteners help out.
The coat makes support for a
cape much longer, that covers the
arms and is beautifully joined to the
underwear at the sides. A narrow
collar of the same material supports
turnover collar of velvet in dark

is wonderfully well suited to it. 1t
