Vegetable Diet.

A well-balanced diet does not neces.
state much meat. The leaf vegetables,
like cabbage, spinach, celery, onions
.tc., are now in their prime, and should
be used as the basis Of number OF
appetizing dishes. Supplemented as
they can be by liberal allowance Of
milk. cereals and limited number of
eggs, the proper food values are fully
maintained.

SAT- superstltIone,,

superstitions concerning salt are
among the earliest known to mankind.
There 10 much evidence in holy writ
for the ceremonial uses Of It, and the
old Mosaic law commands that every
sacrifce Of A. meat Offering shall no
seasoned with 1t. Homer calls it d.
vine. and many Of the old Teuton
races looked on salt springs as holy
and worshiped at them. The origin
Of this superstition seems to be that
since salt cannot corrupt It should be
regarded as symbol of Immortality.

Novel Dance.

The word ball." as applied to a
dancing party, came to be used in the
first instance from an ancient ,'ball
play" given in church by the dean and
choir boys OF Naples during the Feast
of Fools at Easter. At subsequent
dancing parties in Naples the dancers
threw a ball at one another to the
sound of their own singing. They
swhtrled about in measured time, and
the sport consisted in loosening hands
in time to catch the ball.

The city clerks report of water
and tax collections for the month
of November, and ledger balances
as of November 30th, having been
examined and approved by the
finance committee, was submitted
and on motion were accepted and
approved.
City Marshal and Street Com

completed on the city streets and

some slight repairs and cleaning
done, making the same good for
the remaining winter months;
that the city supply was ample.

Santa Claus

So that the kids might not be
disappointed if the world came to
an end before Christmas, Santa
Claus made his appearance in
Central today, a week ahead of
his schedule time. Santa must
have wonderful press agent as
all of the children and many of
the grown up people of the town
gathered to welcome him and all
seemed to know of his coming. He
was dressed in his usual manner,
with the exception of a few minor
changes that were made to con-
form with the latest Paris styles.
He had telegraphed Mrs. George
Athanasion, by wireless, the day
before, to have a Christmas tree
placed in the Red Cross quarters
and some time during the night
he came in and loaded the tree
down with presents for all the
children of Central City. A mys-
terious circumstance in connec-
tion with this affair was the dis
appearance of George Athanasion
just before the advent of Santa
Claus-he was missed soon after
wards but no one seemed to know
where he had gone. However, he
reappeared after Santa had van
ished but up to date has failed
to give a satisfactory explanation
of his absence.

MINING

1t is almost certain that there
will be great revival in the min
ing industry. The demand for sill
yer is daily forcing the price of
that metal upwards. Gold has,
long since, disappeared as a cir
culation medium. Nearly all the
other metals are in great demand.
The financial condition of many
of the great countries of the
earth is such that they are close
ly bordering upon bankruptcy,
from the effects of the world war.
AS result of this condition,
gold and silver, the coinage met
ais, are assured of steady de-
mand for many years to come. The
great mining operators of the
country, realizing existing condi-
tions, already have their expert
men in the field in search for
promising propositions. We re-
veal no confidence in making the
statement that Gilpin county is
receiving favorable considera-
ton in many quarters. Gilpin
county is bound to receive a por-
tion of the new prosperity, which
will come to the mining industry,
but whether it shall receive the
share to which it is entitled, de-
pends largely upon it's own citi-
zens. We have many mines lying
idle, the production of which in
the past made our county famous.
All these mines need is develop
ment to place them again among
the list of great producers.
Let us not delude ourselves
with the idea that everybody
knows the history of our mines
as well as we do, and even if they
did a little new publicity would
do 20 harm. Each of us can do
his bit towards advertising the
resources of the county. Let every
man who has mining item of in
terest, before he sleeps, send that
item to the local papers for pub
lication. Under present condi-
tions, all that is needed to bring
a new wave of prosperity to Gil
pin county is for everybody to put
their shoulder to the wheel and
boost and keep boosting.

Fuller and MacCullOch

Harry Armfeld cannot under
stand why the county is entitled
to $3,500.O0 which it would re.
ceive if Fuller should forfeit his
bond by failing to show up for
trial. He says it reminds him of
the Irishman who fell from a
high building, owing to defective
scaffold and was badly injured by
the fall. The Irishman brought
suit against the contractors for
$25,000.O0 and secured judgment
for that amount.
Some time afterwards he met
his attorney upon the street who
handed him $4,000. "And what
might this be for?" asked Pat.
The lawyer replied that it was his
damages in the case. But" says
Pat, 1--WE got judgment for $685.
100000" 81 know" says the law
yer, "but my fees had to come out
of that and there was the court
costs and other expenses that had
to be met, and that is all that was
left for you" "Say," said Pat,
"who fell from that building,
anyway"

great mind sees things that
amount to something. (3) If you

that quality may prove value to

The End of the World

A local scientist, unknown to
fame, whose initials are P. NJ, be-
came so alarmed at the dire pre-
dictions of our great astronomers
that he has been quietly delving
into astronomy upon his own ac-
cord for the past two weeks. He
gathered great deal of valuable
information which he has promis-
ed to give to the Observer in a
communication which he is now
preparing.
A careful study of the position
of the planets of our solar system
has convinced him that Professor
Porta made grave error in his
calculations. He finds no cause
for alarm because all of the plan
cts happen to be ranged upon the
same side of the sun, opposite to
what he calls the hot spots. In
stead of bringing Arctic weather,
storms, hurricanes, earthquakes
and Hades in general, our local
savant contends that when these
hot spots shoot their vast flames
of fire out into space for millions
of miles the heat will scatter thru
out the entire solar system and
will be absorbed by ALL of the
planets and make them much
warmer. That our winter from
now on will be milder than usual
and that spring will come at least
one month earlier.
