DANCE VIOLATES
HEALTH LAWS
Rev. Mr.. ArrowoOd Speaks Very
Plainly in Sunday Sermon on
"The Christian and His
Amusements."

Quite sensation has been created
in town by the sermon delivered i'm
the Presbyterian chruch last Sunday
by the pastor, the Rev. w. w. AFRO
wood. The subject of lis sermon as
previously announced was "The
Christian and His Amusements.p Mr..
Arrowood dealt at length with the
evil of the modern dances, paying
particular attention to certain dances
that have taken place in this town
and community. According to reports
there was recent dance at Tip Top
Springs, where it is said that q nun,
ber of the men in attendance partook
too freely of the brew of the moon
sinner and were consequently soon in
condition that should have forbid
their association III polite society.e
AS consequence of several of
these affairs the Commonwealth's
Attorney has been frequently pre-
vailed upon to make an effort TO find
out the source of the liquor supply,
and has had divers witnesses before
the grand jury and at Magistrates
courts, but to no avail. Reports have
been current here for sometime that
the chaperones were powerless to
prevent indecencies at some of the
dances that have been held here and
IN this community. No doubt these.
reports, coming from reliable sources.
prompted the sermon of Rev. Mr..
Arrowood, some eXcerts from which
are as follows:
The modern dance violates the
recognized laws of health "The late
hours, the impure atmosphere, the
lack OF sufficient clothing, the over
heated rooms, the exposure of goinp
out when the body is overhcatcd. and
improperly clad-all these initiate
against good health
There must be danger in the
dance. This danger seems to be rec
ognized even by society. Otherwise
why is it that the dance seems to re-
quire more careful chaperonage than
any other function of society? Why
is it that in spite of this careful chape-
ronage the dance is apt to degenerate
into something so sensual and so dis
gusting that even those who are not
Christians are shocked? Why is il
that we have had exhibitions on the
floor of the dance hall right here in
laZewell, not once or twice, but time
and time again that have been pro-
nounced by even the friends of the
dance as absolutely indecent? Why
is it that the manager of one of these
carefully chaperoned dances of the
town recently employed the town po-
iiceman to keep order, this policeman
being paid out of the proceeds of the
dance? Why was it that at dance
recently held in the County (not in
the town. it was commonly reported
that there was much gambling as
well as much drinking? Oh, there's
something wrong with the dance.

GOVERNMENT BY
INJUNCTION

Now that the coal strike seems
to be settled for the time being
and a precedent has been estab-
lished favoring government by in
junction, some questions have
arisen which would puzzle the
proverbial Philadelphia lawyer to
answer.
For instance, some of our good
old line Democrats would like to
inquire, what has become of the
sacred and somewhat ancient
Democratic doctrine of state SOW
ereignty when judge in Indiana
can dictate to the citizens of every
state in the union?
Another question that great
many would like to have answered
is this: If the injunction process
is the proper one to use against
the miners who have organized
and are striking in an attempt to
get higher price for their labor,
why is it not a proper process to
use and why has it not been used
against the profiteers who have
organized and are using illegal
methods to raise the price of food,
clothing, coal and other necessi-
ties?
Why should the profteers who
L., L.
bing all of the people receive
greater consideration than the
hard working coal miners who
seek to rob no one but are only
trying to make better conditions
for themselves and their families :?

Francis BertagnOlli Dies

Gilpin county friends of Mrs.
Frank w. Bertagnolli experienced
a painful shock last Saturday ev-
ening upon learning of the unex-
pected death of her oldest son,
Francis Edward, who died of
spinal meningitis, after an illness
of but twelve hours. The boy was
born in Black Hawk, July 18th,
1908, and was an unusually bright
and likeable little fellow. The fun
eral was held Monday and the re-
mains buried in the family lot in
Mount Olivet cemetery.
The sympathy of host of
Gilpin county friends is extended
Mrs. Bertagnolli in her bereave-
ment. Fate has dealt unkindly
with her in the past year and a
half and sorrow has come almost
continuously. 1t is to be hoped
the future may hold more cheer
fulness.

The last scene of the great re-
lief work done in Europe by AM
erica since the close of the war,
and one that may prove the great
est yet undertaken by the Ameri-
can Red Cross, will probably be
staged in Russia, said Colonel
Robert E. Olds, European commits
sioner of the Red Cross, during
an address in Bucharest, Ruman-
ia, to Red Cross personnel depart
ing for America.
THE Red Cross has still an
other and final task before it,
said Colonel Olds, zone which may
prove greater than all that we
have done before. The great Boil
shevik movement seems to be
nearing its end and when the
time comes when Russia shall
have a firm, stable government,
then it will be the duty of the Am
erican Red Cross to bring Rus
sia's starving and sick back to
health and happiness. And we
must continue in this until Rus
STA can care for herself. That,
probably, will be the last great
after-war campaign of the Ameri-
can Red Cross in Europe.
1--WE are there already. At the
present moment, the Red Cross
has units in that section border
ing on the Gulf of Finland ready
to- enter Petrograd. In Siberia
there is unit with Kolchak's ar
my and one in the Caucasus with
the army of General Denikine.
When the power of the Bolsheviki
crumbles the hand of the Red
Cross will be the first to help the
struggling Russian nation to its
feet"

New Vegetable Sweet
is Sugar Substitute

Manufacture of malt sugar SIR
up promises not only to relieve
the present shortage and prevent
a future scarcity of sugar, but al
so to provide profitable use for
the plants and machinery former
ly used in the brewing of beer.
This is a new sweet which has
been put on a commercial basis at
the psychological moment, say the
specialists of the Department of
Agriculture, by whom investiga,
tions of various substitutes for
sugar have been conducted.
In addition to being a sweet,
malt sugar sirup has a delicious
flavor somewhat like that of honey
the chemists say. The quality
adds to its palatableness and val
ue as a substitute for sugar.
Malt sugar sirup has long been
known to chemists, but its produc-
tion on a commercial basis has
only lately been undertaken with
prospect of success. Two fac
tors have tended to stimulate it's
manufacture. The shortage of or
dinary sugar has developed mar
ket for substitutes, and the de-
crease in the use of grains for
brewing has afforded plentiful
raw materials.
1t is announced by Investigators
of the Department of Agriculture
that with very little change brew
ing plants may be devoted to the
manufacture of this new sweet.
Up to certain point the process
for making malt sugar sirup is
identical with that of brewing
beer. Evaporating pans are said
to be the only additional equip
ment which breweries will require
to become malt sugar sirup fac
tories.
Malt sugar sirup is already be-
ing sold in large quantities to
commercial bakeries and to manu-
fauturers of soft drinks and can
dy. They use it instead of sugar.
The wholesale price has already
been quoted at from Z to 8 cents a
pound by the barrel.
The Department of Agriculture
points out that the sirup can be
used in cooking, baking and home
made confections, and even in
sweetening coffee, oatmeal and
deserts.
