Board of Health and Board Of Medical Examiners would
attempt to the enactment of a law that would
put Mortensen out of business and they have the gall
to try to put it thru the house of representatives,
with Morensen member of that house.
We do not believe the DOCTORS either of Pueblo of
the state in sympathy with the decetful methods
this board employs We do not believe there is doctor
in Pueblo who wants law the books that would
prevent Representative Mortensen from selling patent
medicines that would prevent Mr.. Mortensen from
advertising those medicines yet that is just what this
bill will do if it becomes law.
What can't understand is why this board is con-
tnued Its actions hurt the medical profession thru
out the state Its official acts are not representative
Of that profession 1t would that if at the

Mention of the word ark brings
Immediately to the average mind a
picture OF Noah and the flood though
the Jewish ark OF the Covenant was
another which figured prominently in
history and 1t is in the latter rather
tl.an the former, that we most near
ly approximate the real sense of the
word.
Any chest may be said to be an ark,
Tor the word as We use II today is the
Anglo o-SaSon are from the Latin
area a chest. derived in turn from
the verb "arcere," to guard. The Jew
ish Ark was not merely "A chest con-
tanning the sacred relic, but was sur
mounted by throne or seat--tho
equivalent OF tho mercy seat in the
English Bible-the Hcbrcw name OF
which significd the meeting place"
between God and man. In the Jew
ish history of the flood, considered by
number of antiquarians to have been
piagiarazcd from the Babyloanian lc-
gcnds, tho word which appears as
ark" in the modern version OF tho
Bible Is literally Chest" and the as
sumption is that ship" was recog-
nized ms an anacronism, because at
the time OF Noah, mankind had not
reached tho sen and was ignorant
of the principles OF ship construction.
on the other hand, however, the use
OF the word chest Is even more re-
markable because, according to the di-
mensions given in Genesis, Noah's ark
would havo been as large as some
OF the medium-sized ocean uners

Astrologers read this as an uncer-
tain day. Altho In the early hours
Venus and the Sun are in benefic
aspect Saturn and Mars are adverse.
1t is sway under which women
will be inclined to be aggressive and
to demand recognition for claims to
positions in places OF the Sun.
Women will organize for national
cooperation under many different as
sociations. but all will become factors
in politics. the seers declare.
This should be u fortunate day for
girls who seek positions and especial
ly for actresses, or artists in any line
OF work.
Social ambition will be fostered
during this planetary government,
which seems to indicate that there
will be an access of interest in WASH
ington affairs
for theaters. since II makes for large
audiences, but again warning is given
that there will be changes in methods
of management that will affect per-
sons now prospering.
Labor is likely to be restless and
dissatisfied while this configuration
prevails. Danger of the disintegra-
ton of organized bodies of workmen
is forecast
Impatience at the dictatorship of
others may be one of the effects of
Mars in hostile rule and insubordi-
nation may be common at this time.
The stars forecast n continuation of
the reign of crime, which is an after
math OF war, all the emotions aroused
in the preparation for conflict having
their evil reflex afterward.
They who are wise will preach and
practice the most sane and optimistic
course OF life, for the planetary gov
ernment will affect the weak most
disastrously.
Mars crossing thru Aries will disturb
political conditions in Great Britain,
but both France and italy will have
grave problems to meet that presage

distu-ba ices.
Persons whose birthdate It is may
have an eventful year. They should
guard all the channels that threaten
trouble, With care all will so well
with them.
Children born on this day probab-
ly will be brilliant in mind. but inclin-
ed to be tickle in purpose. In business

Expensive Court Proceedings

y The Chieftain recently printed interview with
Judge Luxford of the county court of Denver which
should stimulate serious thought phase of court
proceedings He says that lately the cost to the City
and County of Denver for maintaining term of the
county court has been greater than the amounts iu-
voved in the suits that determined in his court
In fact he that it costs the city and county twice
as much as the amount involved in litigation.
In other words every time involving two
hundred and fifty dollars settled in his court cost
over five hundred dollars
There is something radically wrong in that stua-
tion, and without doubt similar situation exists in
many other county of this state This is not the
fault of Judge Lu1ford of other county Judges The
Denver court averages many tried and settled
as any other court of similar ursdction it is the fault
of the system.
1t might be we'll for one who i. thinking Of
running for the legislature two years from now to give
serious thought to this matter and plan a remedy by
