SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 80, DECLAR-
ED HEALTH SUNDAY"

Denver Especially BY proclamation
OF Governor Shoup, November 80 will
be observed throughout the state as
Health Sunday" Ministers of ev-
cry denomination who realize that
health of the people is the greatst
asset of the state will urge upon
their congregations the need of pub
lie health work in Colorado.
The program of the Colorado
Public Health Association, which
is asking for $150,000 for anti-tuo-
ercuiosis work in 1920, will be out
lined and support for the campaign
asked. People will be told the
startling facts that tuberculosis is
claiming 10000 lives annually,
1900 of these being little children.
Whereas tuberculosis is a men
ace to the entire world although 1t
has been definitely established by
scientific research that it is both
preventable and curable," reads the
proclamation;
Whereas the systematic fight
against this insidious disease led
by the National Tuberculosis Asso-
citation with which the Colorado Pub
lie Health Association and 1000
other public health organizations
are affiliated. has resulted in a re-
duction in the death rate from tu-
berculosis of 80 percent in the last
IL years; and
Whereas, as a direct result of
the war, tuberculosis is increasing
throughout the world and the need
Of public health work was never
greater; and
Whereas the activities of the
Colorado Public Health Association
are financed by the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals which must produce
the funds for statewide program
of general health work for 1920 on
greater scale than ever before.
Therefore, I, Oliver H. Shoup,
Governor of the state of Colorado,
do hereby declare and proclaim Sun
day, November 30th as Public
Health Sunday.

WILL THE BOIL COME TO A HEAD

There is a difference between a
boil in the pot and a boil on the
body. The first can be taken for
nourishment for the body; the sec
ond takes the nourishment from the
body, its nuisance, a corruption,
an aggrivating, ugly sore-thus,
we term the present upheavel, and
tounge-lashing, that is taking place
in America and in our Congress, us
the second (boil.)
II you can't get what you want.
there is only one thing left to do,
become an anarchist, upset the gov
ernment.- Just as is being done at
this critical period.
A few of our low-down congress
sionals. who have mislead he people
all through, the people they repre-
sent, are at the back of this trouble.
And we can say that the many mil
lionaires and those who are trying
to be millionaires are backing them.

the class whose majority elected us"
1.-THE foreigners, the Reds, the an
archists and have this government
run as we want it not as the people

Who are these Reds who call
themselves Americans? They are
the few Republicans, mainly all and
the Democratic Congressman, dog
robbing for the monied meu. their
same class, the lowest thieying class
of people this good land can mother.
They are worse than the highway
robber, for he's here and then gone;
but the gentlemen class of thieves
are always with at all times.
They can't even stick to their
word. Make a promise and then
break it,. You and I, the laboring
men must sit back and take it. we
have no chance. We must take
it, like cuffed pup, that has done
some little mischief; but exclude Us
from the mischief part.
Now. we ask. will the bon come

CHAPTER XIV.

He went 10 his room. threw or his
coat. waistcoat, collar and tie. letting
them lie where they CHANGED TO fall,
and then, having violently enveloped
himself In black velvet dressing
gown. continued this action by lying
down with n vehemence that brought
wheeze OF protest from his bed. His
repose was only a momentary sem
blance. however. for IL lasted no long
er than the time IL took him to groan
"Rlffrsffi" between his teeth. Then he
sat up. swung his feet To- the floor, rose
and began to pace up and down the
large room.
He had just been consciously rude
to his mother for the first time Ia his
life; for. with all his riding down OF
populace and riffraff. he had never be-
fore been either deliberately or i'm
pulsively dIsregardful OF her. But
now he had done rough thing TO her;
and he did not repent: the rather he
was the more Initiated with her. And
when he heard her presently 20 by his
door with light step. singing cheer
fully To herself sS she went TO her
room, he perceived that she had mis-
taken his intention altogether. or. In
deed. had failed 10 perceive that he
had any intention at all.
There came a delicate. eager tap
ping at his door. not done with
knuckle but with the tip OF n finger
nail. which was instantly clarified TO
Georges minds eye as plainly as II he
saw IL: the long and polished white
mooned pink shield on the end of his
Aunt Fanny's right forehnger. But
George was In no mood for human
communications. and even when things
went well he had little pleasure In
Fanny's society. Therefore Il II not

keep her out.

how close II came 10 them.
He drove into the Majors stable too

himself from going through partition

behind the new houses. on his way

though. for that matter, they were
never to be anything except hideous
TO him.
In this temper he emerged from be-
hind the house nearest his own and,
glancing toward the street. saw his
mother standing with Eugene Morgan
upon the cement path that led 10 the
front gate. She was bareheaded and
Eugene held his hat and stick in his
hand; evidently he had been calling
upon her, and she had come from the
house with him, continuing their con-
versation and delaying their parting.
George stared at them. A hot dis
like struck him at the sight of Eu-
gene; and n vague revulsion, like a
strange. unpleasant taste In his mouth,
came over him as he looked at his
mother: her manner was eloquent OF
so much thought about her companion
and OF such reliance upon him.
The two began to walk on toward
the gate, where they stopped. turning
TO face each other, and Isabels glance.

hand TO him, while Eugene turned and
nodded; but George, standing as In
