HOW DOCTORS
TREAT COLDS
AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is
Calotabs, the Purified and
Refined Calomel Tablets
That Are Nausealess, Safe
and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds. coughs,
sore throat. and influenza can be de-
pended upon for full effectiveness
until the liver is made thoroughly
active. That is why the first step in
the treatment is the nausealess calo-
mel tablets called Calotabs. which are
free from the sickening and weaken
ing effects of the old style calomel.
Doctors also point out the fact that
an active liver may go a long way
towards preventing influenza and
colds and is one of the most i'm
portant factors in enabling the pa
tent to successfully withstand IAN
attack and ward off pneumonia.
One or two Calotabs at bedtime.

NEW FEDERAL
THEATER IS
GOOD HOUSE
NEW PROGRAM JUST ISSUED
LISTS MANY BIG FEATURE
PICTURES FOR THE NEXT
MONTH - ARVADA TRADE
is APPRECIATED.

The accompanying photograph
4 is a very good likeness of the new
y Federal theater which is located at
Federal Boulevard and West 38th
avenue. This is the new suburban
theater of Denver which has been
attracting much business from movie
fans of this vicinity.
The Federal issues a monthly the
ater program, giving in detail the
day to day program. Six thousand
programs is the smallest number ever
printed, great many Of which are
sent out by mail to the patrons Of
the Arvada, Edgewater and Wheat
ridge postoffice. A singular feature
Of the program for the next month
is the fact that two pages are printed
in blue, the next two in black and so
throughout the book. The idea is
very original and draws much COM
ment from readers Of the program.
Manager Bartels declares the man
agement holds Arvada and vicinity in
high esteem, and carries q weekly
program in The Enterprise for local
theater-goers convenience.
The theater building itself is one
Of most modern construction. The
interior or exterior of the place will
compare very favorably with any Of
the uptown theaters and has in ad-
dition "worlds Of parking space" for
those who drive down in their cars.
A drug store and a grocery and
market in the same building has
made the building community GEN.
ter for the neighborhood.
Pictures shown on the screen are
carefully selected by Manager Bar
tells after pre-viewings. Only those
films which can pass the most rigid
scrutiny are booked, assuring the pa
irons of the house Of first class pic
lures. No "first-runs" are attempted
by the management, in tho belief
that movie lovers would rather wait
q week and save half the cost. The
motto in regard to pictures is that
1T Pays to Wait"
That the policies of the manage
ment are correct IL conclusively
proven by the throngs which visit The
show each night. Arvada people who
visit the show can step off The car at
Federal boulevard, almost at the very
doorstep Of the "best show in town."

LAND VALUES
ARE HIGHER
AVERAGE ACRE VALUATION IN
1914 WAS $ll.67; 1923 ASSESS
ED VALUATION AMOUNTS TO
Sl4.12 PER ACRE-l92O HIGH
EST YEAR WITH $16.45 MARK.

The average assessed value of all
agricultural land in Colorado has in
creased 81 per cent in Colorado since
1914, or from $l1.67 in 1914 to $14-
.12 in 1923. During this period
there has been an increase in the
average assessed value per acre of
every class Of land except unimprov-
ed fruit land, which has shown a de-
crease of 33 per cent.
In Colorado, agricultural land is
classified for assessment purposes as
improved fruit land, irrigated land,
natural hay land. dry farming land
and grazing land. The average as
sessed value per acre Of each Of
these classes except improved fruit
land showed q steady increase from
1914 to 1919 or 1920, when the high
point was reached. Since that time
there has been a gradual decrease,
but values have not yet dropped to
the 1914 level except in the case of
fruit land, which is generally under
stood to have been much over-val-
ued in this state ten years ago.
The largest percentage Of increase
in value is shown for dry farming
land. The average assessed value OF
this class per acre in 1914 was 1891
and in 1923 this had risen TO $l4.40,
are increase being 81 per cent. Ir-
rigated land came next, with an in
cfease Of 28 per cent, or from $62.ll
to $79.s0; natural hay land was next
with an increase Of 10 per cent, o,
from $23.78 to 1884; grazing land
showed an increase Of 16 per cent,
advancing fr~m s4.41 to $5.l4. The
averayc in creaaa for all classes OF
agricultural land, as shown above,
was 81 per cent, or $2.46 an acre.
Actual increases in assessed values
per acre in tho past ten years have
in reality been larger than the fig
ures here given indicate, for the rea-
son that there has been an increase
. CT more than 10000. 900 in the acre
age Of agricultural land on the tax
rolls in the period, and this increase
has been confined almost wholly to
the cheaper classes of land--dry
farming and grazing land. In the
period under consideration, there
has been no appreciable increase in
any acreage OF other class of agri-
cultural land in Colorado.
The high point in assessed value
Of some classes of land was in 1920
instead of 1919. and the high point
IN the average value Of all agricul-
tural land per acre was in 1920, be-
ing $l6.45. Since that time the de-
crease has followed the general de-
preston in values Of all farm prop
erty. though it has not been so sharp
as the decreases in values of live
stock.
