FOR MALARIA,
CHlLLS AND fever.
The Best Prescription Is Grove
Tasteless Chill Tonic
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle.
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tones shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States No Cure, No Pay. Price, SOC.

COLORADO vs. SWITZERLAND.
A Comparison.


Switzerland. THE playground OF Eu-
rope" is visited annually by over To-
900 American tourists and invalids.
Why?
While the Alps have isolated peaks
such as Mont Blanc (15.7S1 feeD, and
the Matterhorn (14,S36 feet). the mean
elevation Of the highest Alpine chain
is from only 5000 to 5000 feet. Colo
RADIO possesses more than 100 peaks
over 1880 feet in altitude, of which
no fewer than thirty-fve peaks range
from $4,000 feet upward. In the whole
of Europe, there are not over twelve
mountain peaks Of note.
The highest village in Europe Is
Ayers Platz in Switzerland 0,500 feep !;
the highest inhabited point in Europe
is the Hospice of st. Bernard In
Switzerland 1920 feet). In Colorado
the mining town Of Leadville. with
$1,000 inhabitants, is 10000 feet above
sea level; other mining camps are still
higher and some gold and silver mines
are worked at an altitude Of over H.
900 feet.
The highest wagon road In Europe
Is said to be the Stelvio Road In
Switzerland (9,170 feet). In Colorado
the railroads cross the crest OF the
continent at Fremont Pass Q1,32S
feet), Marshall Pass 10,S52 feet and
Tennessee Pass (10,439. Switzerland
does not possess, even In the famous
st. Gothard line, any railroad en-
cheering surprising. If equaling, these.
There are wagon roads over numerous
passes in Colorado ranging from H.
900 feet upwards, the highest being
Mosquito Pass Q3,700 feet.
In Switzerland the cog-railroad from
Vitznau to the summit of the Rigi
Kuhn $500 feet) has length OF four
and a half miles, in which the ascent
is 4,O72 feet. In Colorado the cog-rall-
road from Manitou to the summit OF
Pixies Peak (14,147 feet) has length
of eight and three-quarter miles, In
which the ascent is $500 feet, or an
average of S46 feet per mile. the maxi
mum grade being 1920 feet.
One class OF Switzerland's finest
scenery is along the Via Mala, the
Schyn Pass and Urnerloch. In Colo
RADIO, the Canon of the Arkansas with
the Royal Gorge, the Black Canon OF
the Gunnison, the Canon OF the Rio
de las Animas, the Canon OF the
Grand River and others, are all much
longer, quite as grand as and more
varied in character than the best
passes in Switzerland. The walls OF
the Canons Of the Grand River, the
Gunnison and the Arkansas rise to a
sheer height Of more than 1000 feet.
AS Colorado can be reached by at
least one railroad-the Burlington-in
one night from either Chicago or St.
Louis. it Is hard to understand why
more Americans do not travel West
instead of East in search of health and
pleasure.

Crimes OF violence, whose per-

It has nampered military operations.

Cunning of CounterfeIters.

The average counterfeit bill shows
better work on the right-hand side
than on the left. More care is taken
to make the work accurate. because
unless a man is left handed it is USE
tomary in counting pile Of bills to
hold the left ends down and turn up
only the right ends. The assistant tell
er in city banks now reverses the
process and turns the bills with his

At many of the flag raisings in this
country there are pennants unfolded
on the same poles. and generally the
mistake of placing the pennant at the
top, over the flag, is made. This is
very irritating to the regular navy
men, who regard such an act in their
ranks as deserving of dismissal.
