anesthetic II is an era of prosper
lty' of the good, old-fashioned Repub
lican type, in which money is thrown
to the winds with no thought for the
day of reckoning which always comes,
The state has just emerged from one
milllonaires campaign and is just en-
tering on another, so why waste any
time on petty little measures like an
anti-profiteering bill? Why waste time
trying to bring down the cost of living
when every millionaire has all the
money he needs?
Only two measures which were
passed during the extra session did not
carry appropriations, and of those two
one was the woman suffrage resolu-
tion-the ostenslble issue for which the
extra session was called-nnd the 9TH
er was a proposed constitutional
amendment to raise the salaries Of
governors and judges, the former prob
ably so that no future governor will
have to sit in rags in the midst Of his
special brown mahogany splendor.
OF the other measures, one appro-
priated $12T, 900 for the state reforma-
tory, another $4,000 for the asylum at
Pueblo, another 100000 for the indus
trial school, another $4,000 for the
School of Mines and another gave
$500, 900 for maintaining the National
Guard during the coal strike-totaI,
S537 900, and the state already was
about SS00,000 over its income for the
term That means only one thing
higher taxes, but there wasn't time to
help the little fellow stretch his pay

BUTTER SHOULD BE KEPT ON
TABLE DESPITE PRICE.

Let us not be argued out of the
idea of using butter on the table as n
food. In these days OF the high
cost of living there Is tendency on
the part Of some TO eliminate expen-
sive articles of diet from the daily
menu. But let us keep butter on
the list as one OF the essential lux
uries, even though II is soc pound.
At all events. if we must economize
on butter let us not cut milk out of
our diet entirely.
Here are some of the arguments
in favor of not cutting butter, or
milk at least. out of the diet. ar
ranged by Otto Benell of the Colora-
do Agricultural College. II has
been found by repeated expert
ment that milk in one form or otter
contains a substance which is not
obtainable in the vegetable fats.
This substance, wanting better
name has been called Fat Soluble
A. There Is in vegetable fats a sub
stance called Water Soluble b. The
two are called vitamines of har-
monies. Il has been further demon
strated that Fat Soluble A is abso-
lutely essential to the growing body
in man as well as In animals. A
subject not receiving Fat Soluble A
loses in weight and has rapidly
decreasing growth curve, even while
receiving Water Soluble b. Upon
restoring to the diet Fat Soluble A.
the subject at once begins to show
signs of Improvement, gains In
weight rapidly and shows an upward
moving growth curv
OF the two substances, butter and
oleomargine. the former is the pure
ly animal fat while the latter is a
mixture of very little animal fet
with a preponderance of vegetable
fat. Inasmnch as butter is made
of milk, a tat in highly emulsified
condition and therefore very easily
digested, and contains Fat Soluble
A in large amounts, 1t is eminently
more desirable as a food than is
oleomargine. II ii is absolutely
necessary to use oleomargine in the
diet in place of butter. some other
form of milk should be substituted
in order to supply the necessary
vitamines. In infant feeding these
fact are especially important because

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Announcement Is made by Direc-
tor X. G. Cholmeley-Joues of the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance that
it ism OF the policy of the Bureau to
attempt to dissuade eX-service men
and women from purchasing any
particular form of Government Con-
verted Policy for which they show
n preference.
Since all forms of insurance con-
tracts. especially these which will
be issued by the government, are
based on actuarial principles, they
are designated according to the
amount of premium charged to get
! the full of the money received
For instance, while the endowment
policy is more expensive from an
insurance point of view, If the in
sured lives to the end of the endow-
ment period,i 1T is one of the cheapest
| forms of insurance, and stated
preference for this policy therefore
sould not be discouraged.
1t is the position of the bureau
that it is perfectly all right to az
company an explanation of the var
| iCus policies with all necessary in
| fromation, but advice as to selection
should be given only where 1t is
specifically sought Usually the
selection is dependent upon the in
| dividual, who should be encouraged
to make his own choice and to follow
his own desires. All of the policies
| are good.
In emphasizing the general recog-
milton of their exceptional value 10
| former service men and women,
President Fred A. Howland OF the
National Life Insurance Company
| of Montpelier, Vermont, in the course
Of an address to the March meeting
! of Commanders of the American Le-
| gion Post of the state of Vermont,
made the following statement from
| the viewpoint of an official of life
insurance Company:
"Can you imagine what would
| happen If all the employees in the
three hundred life insurance com
panies of America were drawn into
| one department, and were required
to administer the tremendous work
4 that the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance has had to do in Washington?
1 In view of the fact that 1t wrote
over forty billion dollars worth of
insurance within a few months, nee
I essarily Fthere tYere mistakes-the
| contrary would have been impossible.
| No Executive of any life insurance
| company hesitateS to recommend, In
the most emphatic terms, that the
| Government Insurance is good
| thing. You, cannot expect the reg
ular old line life insurance com
panies to furnish insurance at the
same rate as the Government does.
, The Government premium does not
carry administration expense. That
is borne by the tax payer. There
is no tax, there is no labor expense
All of this is borne by the tax
payer So in the last analysis there
is every reason, and every life in
surance agent will tell you there is
every reason, why you should hold
on to your Government Insurance.
1t is the cheapest, has the most sub
stantial backing, The Treasury OF
the United States itself. and will be
made the most attractive"

TOWNS SHOULD KEEP BEST
CITIZENS.

No town wants to lose its best clti-
zens.
Any place in Colorado where re-
turned soldiers cannot find work is
going to lose them as residents. And
it is not necessary to explain that
there can be no better citizen than
the man who offered his life for his
country in war.
That is why every city. town and
hamlet in Colorado should aid to the
utmost the efforts of the State Com
mittee for the Relief of Ex-Service
Men and Women working with may
ors and county commissioners to find
jobs for all soldiers.

Persian Carpets,

The shah of Persia has passed a law forbidding persons to weave car pets according to European design. Violation of the enactment Is n crim- inal offense. and the imperative atti- tude taken will have greater tendency than ever to raise the Per sian carpet or rug in esteem. Often a Persian carpet will remain in the family for generations, such careful treatment does it receive. When the owner of valuable carpet dies he very often gives instructions that 1t shall be cut In pieces as heirlooms to his successors. and should member of the family not receive a portion he would feel very greatly sighted. The designs of Persian carpets have been handed down from remote ages. Each family keeps it's own design. no two carpets being alike for fear of the evil eye.

Invaluable Coconut.

What the coconut means to the South Sea islands native, MT. Farrell says, scarcely can be exaggerated. He makes thatch of the leaves. In some islands he wears skirt of shredded leaf. Coconut sennit Is his cord. In most low islands, where the water is brackish and undrinkable, he depends on the milk of a green nut, or, better, the sap of a tightly bound bud. Fer mented, this becomes coconut toddy, and. boiled. 1t is a brown, sweet-sirup beverage When the islander dances or goes abroad in the rain he anoints his body with coconut-oil. And every drop takes Its toll from the copra production.

In Switzerland.

It Is the peculiar characteristic of Switzerland that. after crossing its frontiers, one never appears to have wholly left the neighboring countries behind. The northern gates" seem to introduce one to a modified Ger many; at Geneva one Is still in a French-speaking country; while the impression one receives upon enter ing from the south of still being upon Italian soil is at first difficult to shake off. The character of the scenery serves only to heighten the Illusion Ethnologically. as we'll as physically. the soil of Switzerland seems to in vite the various people of the earth to make of the country place of ren- dezvous where international differ ences are forgotten.

AQnosticism.

Agnostlcism Is school of thought which believes that beyond what man can know by his senses or feel by his higher affections. nothing can be known. Facts or supposed facts both of the lower and the higher life, are accepted, but all differences deduced from these facts as to the existence of an unseen world. or of beings high CT than man are considered unsatis- factory. and are ignored. Agnostics. positivists and secularists have much in common, and many people exist to whom any one of the three names might be indifferently applied.

Old Saying.

The proverb "One swallow does not make a summer" is very ancient. You will find 1t in the Ethics of Aristotle, who was born 3S4 years before the Christian era. There 1t takes this form: "One swallow maketh not a spring, nor woodcock winter" In Attica the children were given a holi- day when the swallow first appeared in the spring, and Horace connected the zephyrs of the spring with the coming of the swallows. In Italy and Spain the proverb still runs: "One swallow does not make spring." But in more northern attitudes the swal- low arrives later, and their proverbial literature has it that one swallow does not make a summer.

"Poison" Made Hit in Harer1.

The origin of wine making also Is claimed by the Perslans, whose king. Jemsheed. stored a quantity of grapes in his cellar for future use. The grapes fermented and, becoming very acid. were believed to be poison. They were so labeled. A woman of the kings harem, who desired to commit suicide, took freely of the juice and became very drunk. After a lengthy sleep. however, she awoke perfectly well. ald was so pleased with her experiment that she finished the remainder of the poison. Jemsheed found out what had happened too late to come In on the first vintage, but he took steps to insure having plentiful supply of juice in future for himself.

There Is an English proverb which comments as a cure "a hair of the dog that bit you" And it is an interesting fact though hardly a coincidence. If national inventive characteristics be borne in mind. that one of the most deadly man-killing machines, which the world owes to the genius of one American the late Sir Hiram Maxim, should have found its antidote-the "tank"--in a device directly inspired by the invention of compatriot, Mir. Benjamin Holt.

Cribbage is one of the few card games that Is of undoubted English origin. It was played in Elizabethan times. only in those days 1t went by the name of "noddy."
