MORE ABOUT DENVER.

Writing of Denver's experience.
Harry w. Newcomb. president OF the
Newcomb Realty Company and once
an opponent Of prohibition. says:
at was said that the tourists would
not come here on account OF prohibit
tion. We have had more tourists in
Denver since we had prohibition than
ever before In the history of the city.
All OF the hotels are filed. the apart
ment houses are well rented and condi-
lions are far better than they were
formerly. The credit of the merchants
In the city is greatly increased. as
they have been able to collect their
bills and In turn pay others In other
cities n great deal faster than they
ever did before. All OF the breweries
In Colorado have changed their equip
ment and are making near beer. malt
ed milk. pottery, etc. and the loss pre-
dicted by people leaving the state on
account OF not having employment
has proved a matter Of mere readJust-
ment. There are just as many people
employed by these breweries now as
there were heretofore, and most OF the
saloon men found legitimate business
which they could engage In and are
now strong advocates OF prohibition"

Infantry regiment, after recovering
from a wound received in an earlier
battle, went into the Argonne Of
fensive and was shot four times.
While recovering in the American
Base Hospital at Bordeaux, he wrote
these verses. They were first pub
lished in The Outlook
We have shed our blood with the
English blood;
We have bled with bleeding
France;
We have joined our steel in the last
appeal
AT the red tribunal Of Chance,
Where shoulder TO shoulder the
nations stand
For the glorious last advance.
Shoulder 10 shoulder and heart 10
heart,
Bound with a blood-red chain,
In the meadows where Fate has
danced with Hate
In the drip OF blood-red rain;
In the trampled meadows where
Death has reaped,
Has sown-and has reaped again;
Brothers in pain and sick fatigue
And in purpose, that recks not
pain
We have buried our dead on a
thousand hills,
And thousands unburied lie
In battered village and shattered
wood,
Agape at the drenching sky,
Where they poured their blood in
the trampled mud
As a witness TO God on high
As the last full price of sacrifice
For that which shall never die.
But the ghosts Of the twice-fought
fields shall rise
AT the charging battalions' shout :
Shall swirl in the smoke Of the last
barrage
Over bayonet fight and rout-
Shall sing in the scream of passing
shell
As we sweep to the last redoubt.
For the hour has struck, and the
kingdoms rock
On the last red verge OF War
Our countless dead in the wind o'er-
At the final barrier
One swift drawn breath in the wind
OF death,
And the Merciful Gates before,
Where Freedom stands with out
spread hands
Forever and evermore.
And some shall come home through
sea Of flags
When the cannon their thunder
cease;
And some shall lie alone with the
sky
In the Valley of Long Release;
And what shall il matter-if Free

Cost of Sickness
In u. S. Enormous

Semiofficial statistics concerning
sickness in the United States have it
that there is total of nearly $780,
900 years of illness in this country
every calendar year.
This amazing conclusion is
reached by computing averages. It
is said that the average inhabitant
is sick nine days every year. Broadly
that gives total of 100000, 900
days Of illness, or 100000 years
for the entire population. 4
1t is furthermore estimated that
the average cost Of medical attention
and medicines alone will average
more than 81 day for each person,
or a total Of $1,000,0 100000 q year.
Besides the direct expense in
volved, there is an enormous in
dustrial loss occasioned by illness.
If but one-third fthe total number
Of persons Ill are earners, averaging
SO per day, the time lost amounts
to another $1,000, 100000 per year.

Masters of America

The American Legion is under
writing Americanism, says The De-
troit Journal.
The reports of the Legoin's con-
vention In Minneapolis ought to
prove an inspiration and a re-assur-
ance to every patriot. The conven-
ton has weighed every idea and sug-
gested in terms of public welfare. Il
has suppressed every endeavor to
turn the legion into a self-seeking,
whining, petty minded institution.
1t voices the common resentment
against the mushy attitude toward
self-styled conscientious directors.
It demands a common-sense attitude
toward the men of the Berger stamp
who make a profession of undermine
ing the republic. The convention in
sists upon national policy of pro-
tecting the land against them
in roads of races impossible to
assimilation. 1t thritles an in
sidious attempt to chain the
Legion to partisan politics.
Oratory it finds it can dispense with.
Flapdoodle it shouts down.
The magnificent thing about the
American Legion today. is the man
ner In which it is writing program
of public service-a program not for
a few sequestered men to work out,

III q single day, illness costs him. in
directly. $40 per year, and another
10 for each member Of his family.
The person who is an average Garner
and who is Ill the average number
of days, pays for his illness 50 for
doctors and medicine, $2z for time
lost, and $40 as his share Of the in
dustrial loss, or a total of SAC per
year.
Pursuing the subject, the compiler
of these statistics asserts that at
least SO per cent of the country's ILL
ness Is preventable thru reasonable
precautions, these including alb
stinence from harmful self-indul-
gence. Another rs per cent or more
could be prevented by improving
working conditions and the enforce
ment of more sanitary regulations.
Under existing circumstances, it
is estimated, 100000 of all per-
sons now alive in the United States
will die of tuberculosis and another
100000 of pneumonia. Intelligent
care of the health and reasonable
precautions, it is commended, would
save at least one-half Of these.
