Denver-Twenty-fiv of Denvers
sixty-three public schools were closed,
and 425 teachers and 1900 pupils
were locked out by a strike of twenty
five stationary engineers for higher
wages. The wages of the striking
men are reported to range from $115
to $3.50 a month, including living
quarters, light, heat and water. The
men demand an average Increase Of
$40 month, which the school hoard
refuses to pay. Stationary engineers,

nocked to the school board offices to
apply for the positions made vacant
by the strike. Each man was thor

Paris, Feb. 11.-Commenting upon
the interview, by Premier Clemenceau,
which occupied the place of honor in
all the Paris newspapers, Alfred Ca
pus in the Figaro says: "With its Wig
orous and hardy pessimism, it is an act
Of ardent patriotism. 1t is just
the plain Language which it is fitting
to talk to France and her allies at
the present moment. France should
be made to recall that her enemy
wished for fifty years to cripple her
and has not given up that design. The
allies must be told that the victory
bought with-so much blood and sacri-
flee will remain precarious one IL
they do not know how to complete 1t.
Finally, Germany must be shown that
she can no longer deceive us and that
1t is our firm intention to make peace;
also, to the finish Premier Clemen-
ceau has never been more lucid or
stronger than in these declarations,
which will have considerable effect"
The question of moving the peace
conference from Paris to a neutral
country may be considered by the con-
ference If what is characterized us the
obstructive policy of the French press
and certain French officials continues,
1t developed today. Representatives OF
various other powers taking part in
the peace conference, 1t is declared,
believe that the work of the body 10
being greatly hampered through un-
friendly criticism by the French press
of various leaders in the conference.
During the war there was seldom
any difficulty, despite the serious
handicap of the censorship. IN getting
through new matter from France in
reasonable time and in plentiful vol
ume, largely over the direct French
cable line. Since the delegates began
assembling for the peace monference,
however, and especially since the con-
ference started, the communication
with France has been Of the most un-
certain sort. Virtually no news has
been received over the French cable
line, the best and quickest means Of
communication, since the conference
began. All the cable and wireless ser
vices have been greatly congested. but
the chief difficulty has been that al
though the French cable was nominal
ly In service there has been complete
inability to transmit news matter over
1t, and that all the cable communica-
tion for weeks past has been by
roundabout routes.

Weekly Health Ia!ks
Where Most Sickness Begina
and Ends
BY FRANKLIN DUANE, N. D.

BY FRANKLIN DUANE, II. d.
It can be said broadly that most human
Ills begin in the stomach and end In the
stomach. Good digestion means good
health, and poor digestion means bad
health. The minute your stomach fails to
properly dispose of the food you eat, trou-
bles begin to crop out in various forms.
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the common
est forms, but thin, impure blood, head
aches, baclaches, pimples, blotches, dizxi-
ness, bslching, coated tongue, weakness,
poor appetite, sleeplessness, coughs, colds
and bronchitis are almost a. common.
There il but one way to have good health,
and that il to put and keep your stomach
in good order This is easy to do if you
take Dr.. Pieree's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. It il . wonderful tonic and blood
purifier, and il 10 safe to take, for it II
made of roots and herbs. Dr.. Pierce, Of
Buffalo, N. Y, stands behind this stand
ard medicine, and it il good to knew that
% distinguished physician ID proud to
have his name identified with II. When
you take Golden Medical Discovery, you
are getting the benefit of the experience Of
. doctor whose reputation goes all around
the earth. Still more, you get temper
ance medicine that contains not drop Of
alcohol or narcotic Of any kind. Long ago
Dr.. Pierce combined certain valuable veee-
table ingredients-without the use Of alco-
hol-so that these remedies always havs
been strictly Temperance medicines.
If piles are. torturing you, get and MS
Pierce's Anodyne Pile Ointment. The
quick relief it gives is hard to believe until
you try it. II ,constipated DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets should be taken while
using Anodyne Pile Ointment. Few in
deed are the cases which these splendid
remedies will not relieve and usually over
come. They are 70 good that nearly every
drug store has them for sale.

III FLOATING GARDENs.


THE so-called floating gardens OF

TO float; but they 60 supply the CAPT
tai Of Mexico with a large part OF its
flowers and vegetables.
To get TO these stationary floating
gardens. you hire a canal boat and are
showed and poled along the viga canal
as part OF a boat parade which can
not be escaped because It is perpetual
The gardens are far up the canal
They are square . patches OF island
covered 20 overlooking with flowers
OF every hue, and others with more
hOmely vegetables. They are literally
the garden spots OF Mexico.
Though the gardens do not float
they have their unusual points They
did not just happen like most islands
but they are home made by the gar
deners or their predecessors Masses
Of water hyacinths and other water
plants were thrown into the water.
and On top Of that a layer Of earth.
The hyacinth roots floated down to
the canal bed and moored the garden,
and the gardeners Immediately went
&c work.
Products OF these patches can be
seen travelling back up the canal to
the market OF Mexico City. Some
human freight. but thu majority in
the returning parade are piled high
with sweet peas lilacs, poppieS and
other gorgeous blossoms, or with
radishes, turnips, and the odoriferous
onion.
