Treasury Department. Washington.

My Dear Mr.. Cooper:
The armies Of freedom have won a
glorious victory and have brou yht
near the dawn of new day for hu-
manity.
Our army of loyal civilians has also
won it's victories without which the
other victories on land ard sea would
have been impossible. The success
of the four Liberty Loan campaigns
is due chiefly to the unselfish work of
thousands of men and women, and
take this opportunity of expressing to
you my deep appreciation of your
splendid services to the country. Will
you please convey to the other mem
bers Of your committee my sincere
thanks.
We still have before us a great task
the task of raising the additional
monies required to meet the war ex-
perses already incurred. the return of
our victorious armies to American
soil, their rehabilitation and civil re-
habilitation. Until this work has been
done. our duty to our heroes and to,
our country will not have been per-
formed.
l am sure that can count on every
loyal and patriotic member of the Lib
erty Loan committees and War Saw
ings committees throughout the coun-
try to continue their support OF the
Treasury Department until the great
work is completed. Very sincerely
yours, ~

Number at Prison
Lowest or 20 Years


The number of prisoners at the Col
orado state prison here is smaller at
present than 1t has been at any time
for 20 years, there being but little
more than 500 men and women at the
institution. The falling OF in the
number of prisoners there is attribut-
able to two primary causes, although
contributary in lesser degree, They
are statewide prohibition and the fall
ure of the courts to send their usual
quota of convicts here during the last
few months on account of the infiu-
enza epidemic. The criminal courts
throughout the state have been rest
ing very largely this winter months
because of the contagion. and but few
new prisoners have been brought here
in consequence. In the meantime the
discharge of prisoners has been con-
stantly going on under expiration of
sentence and through the action of
the pardon board The great cause.
however,. of the diminuation in the
number of new prisoners has been the
destruction of the power of John Bar
leycorn by the ballots Of the people OF
Colorado.

 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region. get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neu- tralizes the acids in the urine SO it no longer irritates, thus ending b1ad- der disorders
