 The Great Rock Island route will hereafter conduct it's tourist excursion business under it's direct supervision. All the good features of the old system will be retained and additional advan- tages will be added.
 The Rock Island personally conducted Tourist Car excursions to California have always proved their right to be called the best by carrying the most people, and exceptional inducements now offered will maintain the high standing they have reached. Choice of two routes is given. Excursion via Fl Paso and the popular Southern route to Los Angeles and San Francisco leaves Boston every Monday. Excursion via Colorado and the Scenic route to San Francisco and Los Angeles leaves Bos- ton every Wednesday.
 A cardinal advantage of the latter route is the opportunity afforded for a lay over at Colorado Springs for suffi- cient time to visit the famous natural wonders at Manitou without delaying the journey.
 This tourist car system can offer advantages enjoyed by no other route for proof of which address I. L. Loomis N. E. P. A, 290 Washington street. Bos- ton, Mass.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe Effectual
 Cure for It, .s


 Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable,
 The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accom- panied sometimes with sour or watery- risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; headache, fickle ap- petite, nervousness and general play ed out, languid feeling.
 There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the in- terior of the stomach could be seen it would show slimy, infamed condition.
 The cure for this common and obsti- nate trouble is found in treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has a time to ferment and irritate the deli cate mucous surfaces of the stomach
 To secure Q prompt and healthy di- Gestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disap- peared.
 According to Dr. Harlanson the saf- est and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Dias- tase, Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux, Gold en Seal and fruit acids.
 These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being patent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
 MT. N. J. Booher of PHO Dearborn St., Chicago, H., writes: "Catarrh is g local condition resulting from a neglect, ed cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflameG and the poisonous discharge therefrom passing backward in the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh oi | the stomach. Medical authorities pre- | scribed for Sne three years for catarrf | of stomach without cure, but to-day l am the happiest of men after using | only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab | lets.

dreamed of few years ago. Down on the Sabine Pass, he sad, Chr,stie x Low the contractors, are doing work to-day with twelve men that would have re- quired a thousand men dozen years ago. The drainage canal hasrevolution- ized canal building and excavations of all kinds. Formerlyo all work of that sort was done by hand. Now 90percent. of it is done by machinery, So that a single skilled workman can accomplish as much in a day as a trainload of ordinary laborers. Therefore, estimates made in 1886 and 1887 are practically worthless. For example, the rock work on the drainage canal, which was originally estimated by the engineers to cost $160 a cubic yard, actually cost 76 cents cubic yard and the con tractors took out thirteen million cubic yards-a mass as big as a mountain and carried it away at that price with a good profit.-C Chicago Record.
