HEALTH CONDITIONS
ABOUT NORMAL

Health conditions In Pueblo, and Pu-
ehlo county are normal. despite un-
favorable weather conditions during
the winter months. DIR. w. 4. Buck.
city physician. stated yesterday after
noon that the major diseases We're
well under control, and that there were
now only five cases OF diphtheria on
record at the city health office.
The past winter has been an un-
favorable one for throat diseases. !"
said Buck yesterday. The dryness and
extreme cold air has aggravated throat
trouble. Flying dust has been bad:
the afr, for the greater part OF the
winter. has been germ laden to an ex-
tent that would be surprising TO the
ordinary layman."
DIR. Buk went on to say that there
was no cause for apprehension be-
cause OF weather conditions. and that

Persons depend too much on "A
phone diagnosis. When IA child is ill.,
they call "a doctor. telling him how
the child acts and says it feels. A
diagnosis cannot be made by the doc

a serious major disease" said Buck.
Diphtheria in the Nineland districts
has been reported to the county health
officers lately. Investigation shows
that the situation is well under control
and that proper doctoring and care
will soon wipe out all traces of the
disease. a similar situation is said
to exist at Portland, Colo. In many

Be RELEASED FROM ASSIGNMENT

]. D. King. public administrator. and
conservator. appointed by the govern
ment to take charge OF the estate OF
Frank Adams. formerly patient in
the Colorado insane asylum, is still
trying to persuade the government to

job.

also. he was n married man with n
wife who was first said to have di-
vorced him and later arrived on the
scene. following Adams confinement in
the asylum. and asserted that she was
still his wife.
Also came a sister OF Adams from
Pennsylvania. and called on the con-
servator.
Suddenly Adams disappeared from
the confines OF the institution; like
wise the sister disappeared from the
city.
The wife created sensation by
claiming that a nurse of the institution
had assisted in the escape.
Mr.. King reported the affair to the
Washington authorities and requested
that remittances for allowance and for
insurance on total disability, not be
longer sent to him. A government man
came to investigate and soon the al
lowance money ceased to come. but

der the present jury law.
For the first time in this county for
many years. II indeed not the first ever.
criminal trials will be had in both
divisions at the same time: this i.,
because there are many cases on the
docket ready for trial. and u Consid-
cradle number of civil cases awaiting
to hc heard. So both Judge Park and
Judge Trimble will try criminal cases
until this section of the docket is
fairly we'll caught up; then both will
try civil cases. The criminal cases
set for the last half OF the present
term are expected to last the major
part of two weeks. This will give all

King could not comply with the re-
quest without government order;
the government order could not be Sc
cured without the patient being de-
clared sane, and the superintendent of
the asylum could not declare him sane

institution Several times Adams has
written for money. but with the same
result-he did not get it. And there
the matter stands.
II is believed the only way out for
Adams Is to get in: that is to come
back and remain in the asylum until
Dr. Lamour can see his way clear to
discharge him as cured. So far there
is no indication that Adams intends 10
take such action.

used to sing in the Orpheum Theatre

jazziest jazzer that ever jazzed a
song. He will appear again next
Wednesday with some more good
ones"

ever since his recent discharge from

early Pilgrim fathers upon their es-
tablishing the old Plymouth Colony.
The strict and enforced observation
of the principles of Sunday played
a leading part in the conduct of early
American government. To enforce
these Sunday laws, the early gov
errors established the pillary, the
whipping post and the ducking
stool. -l
Gradually, the original forms gov
erning the observance of the Sabbath
fell into disuse. Men refused to meet
with the requirements of the laws.
They insisted upon the enforcement
of the corner stone of American In
dependence, to worship according
to the dictates of their own con-
science"
That principles still holds good.
Men will continue to observe this
right and enforced, restricted obser-
vance of the Sabbath Day will never
be a success in America again.
There are certain factions which
are advocating the enforcement and
passage of the Blue Sunday laws just
as there are forces at work to oblish
the use of tobacco in the United
States. The advocates of these re-
forms are sincere in their purpose.
Nevertheless, the world and America
in particular, is not ready to grasp
the sincerity of this scheme. Amer
leans are peace and pleasure loving
race but they are also liberty low
ing, people and the restricted en-
forcement of the Blue Sunday laws
are not in accord with the standard
of American ideas. The success of
America as nation was not due to
the early enforced observance of the
Pilgrim father, but rather the result
Of freedom of speech, freedom of ma
tional rights and the pursuit of hap
piness.

THAT COLD SPRINGS DAM

The Cold Spring dan,, that contest
ed bit of water harness which for the
past half century has caused more or
less contention in the courts of
Stearns county, is indeed proving a
thorn in the side of law and order in
that vicinity.
All legal battles over the dam were
side tracted this week when the dam
and turbines at Cold Springs, were
partially destroyed by dynamite.
That the blowing up of this property
was the act persons interested in re-
cent litigation concerning the water
power, is generally believed by those
familiar with the case. That no loss
of life occurred during the onslaught,
is a happy situation, but the act of
the persons responsible for the dyna-
hitting, is blot on the fair reputa-
ton of Stearns county.
The matter is fairly up to the
county officials. A vicious deed has
been committed, lives endangered
and property destroyed. There will
be no excuse for failure to meet out
justice to all concerned.
