COLD DRINKS ON HOT DAYS
Belief That They Were Highly Dan.
gerous Is Not as Generally
Held as Formerly.

Medical men have their folklore. as
have the people at large. Mistaken
ideas. sanctioned by time, die hard,
even among sO-Called men of science.
In the differentiation OF diseases and
the sorting of causes and effects IL Is
little wonder that there should have
arisen confusion Of ideas that TO a
degree still persist
There Is general belief that IL ls
highly dangerous to drink cold water
in warm weather when we are very
warm, and In n much recommended
book on dletetics Of the present cen
tury the warning against this prac-
tlce is down in black and white
II We trace this teaching tn It's
origin. we lind that the fatalities that
occurred from this practice always
happened when the temperature OF
the air was SO degrees OF upward. The
symptoms described are those OF sun
stroke or heat exhaustion. and the
cllnlcians OF the day had confused or
rather not yet differentiated, the eff
fects OF heat suppression and the very
different experience Of giving the In
terror of the stomach "A cold bath.
So strong was the belief that the
taking OF cold drink, and not the
inability to get rid OF heat, was the
cause Of those pathological catastro-
Plies of hot weather that In one Of our
largest cities a century since the hu.
name society placed printed posters
on the public pumps, warning the hot
and thirsty to pause before lmbibing
and hold the cup In the hands until
some OF the dangerous cold was ex-
tracted from the water. Very differ

by Mr. holland for the entire year OF
1920 with virtually the same force and
without any salaried inspectors.
Taxpayers should recognize Mr.. Mil
liken's good work done for them by
voting for him at the November cleo
ton. Mr.. Milliken is also n World
War veteran who volunteered his serv-
ices to his country soon after the
United States took up arms against
Germany. He was in some of the hot
test fighting in France and won for
himself creditable, proud military
record in every respect. Citizens have
one sure way they can show their ap-
probation of the valiant services which
the "boys" who fought on foreign bat
tlefields rendered flag and country.
They can vote to keep in public office
such clean, gallant young men as Mr..
Milliken when fitness for the office
sought has been clearly demonstrated
Mr. Milliken's careful economical I'D
ministration Of the Secretary of States
office, combined with his excellent war
record, points out conclusively why he
should be reelected by an overwhelm-
ing majority.

Col. Eaton Says the Valley Will Go
For Guy U. Hardy.

Col. Raymond A. Eaton, political
writer for The Rocky Mountain News,
and keen-trained observer of the po-
litical trend of the times, just recent
ly completed trip thru the Arkansas
valley, sounding out sentiment regard
ing the respective candidates for con-
gressional and gubernatorial offices.
He found that Benjamin Griffith,
Republican candidate for governor
mad gained much strength in this sec
zion and that Guy U. Hardy, Repub-
hcan candidate tor congress for the
third district Of Colorado, would get
strong support and undoubtedly would
carry the section by substantial ma
iclty. Col. Eaton did not confine his
interviews to the Republicans but Sc
lected men from both parties whom
he knew could give him the facts in
an unbiased way.
Congressman Hardy has devoted
his time in office TO the interests of
his constituents and thousands of yot-
ers know from personal contact that
he has been on the job at Washington
taking care OF the demands for assist
unec made upon him. These thou
s. nds naturally want to keep u good
man on the job and that is one rea-
son why Col. Eaton found Mr.
Hardy's prospects for election so
good in the valley.

Floating Islanda

Natural floating islands sometimes

rivers and In lakes, occasionally be
Ing Of suficient size to serve a. pas
lures. They are formed OF earth
which IL held together In . compact
form by roots interlhcinE. and they
noat because they are not heavy
enough nor sufficiently waterlorEed TO
sink. They have their origin In river
banks which have been torn away and
carried down steam by powerful
current, and sometimes trees remain
growing on these islands. Artificial
floating islands are made by taking
RATS OF wickerwork, covering them
with reeds. and then placing lake mud
on top. They are used by some Of
the natives of India, Persia and
Tibet to grow cucumbers, melons
and other plants which require q lot
Of water. Artificial islands Of this
nature 1t one time were used In the

policies and work of other officials.
However, a court case has pointed out
how valuable Mr. Milliken is to tax
payers in his present office.
On April 10, 1921, Mr.. Nilliken
ousted eight motor vehicle inspectors
after the Legislature had abolished the
offices and created in their place dep
uty motor vehicle supervisors. These
eight discharged employees, who had
been appointed by James holland, Mr..
Milliken's predecessor and present
Democratic nominee for Secretary of
State, went into court and attempted
II get a writ of mandamus to force
reinstatement under the civil service
amendment to the state Constitution.
But Judge Moore of Denver, last Sat
urday, upheld Mr.. Milliken's action.
Ard Mr.. Milliken won his case not
only because of the legislatures act in
abolishing the office of motor vehicle
inspectors, but because

ing to the court that he has saved the
state the salaries which would have
been paid to the inspectors through
commercial adjustment of work with

eight months of 1922 that he, as Sec

PARTY
INHERITED A WRECK
AND BUILT PROGRESS
So Says DIR. Hill in Recountmg Work
of Harding Administration.

In the course of an address, DR.. John
Wesley Hill, chancellor of Lincoln Me-
mortal University, said:
1.-THE estate inherited by the Repub-
Lean party from the last Democratic
administration was veritable wreck
tangled mess of irreparable ruin,
financial initiation, industrial paralysis
commercial depression. bureaucratic
oppression, executive usurpation, eco
nomic prodigality, diplomatic inanity
and Democratic insanity. This was our
inheritance. The estate was insolvent
Liberty bonds were below par, our flag
was at half-mast.
ave had been pushed up to the very
verge of international communism. a
so-called peace program uniurled in
the name of the League of Nations
which has been followed by bloodshed
and destruction and which is utterly
unable to control the Bolshevist or the
barbarous Turk; 100000 idle hungry
frenzied men were muttering discon-
tent; retained representatives of Bel
5hcvism were whispering their black
doctrines into the ears of American
workingmen; our diplomatic relations
were in a hopeless tangle; we were
staggering beneath mountainous
burden of Indebtedness and taxation:
we were hated and despised by the
whole world. Had our indebtedness
represented wise and necessary ex-
rerditures, the burden would not have
been so irritating and vexatious; had
that vast mountain of gold been ap-
portioned in the efficient prosecution
of the war, there would be no ground
today for complaint, but such was not
the case.
Billions of dollars were literally
thrown away, some $l4 ,00O, 900 900 for
chips which were never sailed; for fly-
ing machines which never flew; for
cannon, shells, powder, acids. grenades.
tanks, automobiles, ammunitions and
munitions, which never reached Eur
cpe. We found ourselves in the posi-
ton Of the old Jew pawnbrokcr on the
Bowery who accidentally swallowed a
dollar, and, throwing up his hands, ex-
claimed: Mine Gottl Mine Gottl Pm
dollar in and dollar out, and | cant
balance my books So we are billions
in and billions out and for year and
half VIC have been at work on the
books Of the Democratic maladminis-
tration and are still unable to balance

prestige at its lowest ebb; we restor-
