BUSINESS FAILURE
Is Frequently Caused by the Worry
Attendant On Dyspepsia.

If you would win in the Battle of Life
you must have d clear brain, keen
senses, perfect vigor, sllrewdness, en-
ergy and ambition.
Dyspepsia kills these needful quail
ties. You can't succeed if you are con-
stant1y tortured by dyspepsia or indi-
gestion. But you can get rid of dys-
pepsia, indigestion, biliousneSs, sour
stomach, or any other ai1ment of stom-
ach or digestive organs by simply
taking one or two of Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal.
With perfect digestion go strong,
healthy body, a clear, capable brain,
vigor, ambition, determination, ener-
gy, activity, keen, alert senses. Dodd's
Dyspepsia Tablets ensure all these.
Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets have new
er failed to cure any or all of the dis
cases named when they have been
fairly tried. They cannot fail.
DR.. r. B. Strong, New York City,
writing in the American Journal of
Health, describes Dodd's Dyspepsia
Tablets as a remedy which could not
possibly be more efficacious though it
enanated from a council of the leading
physicians of the world.

GROWTH OF CARICATURE.
John Laws wild Schemes Gave 1t
Tremendous Impetus.

John Laws Wild Schemes Gave 1t
n Tremendous Impetus.
Caricature is nowadays one of the
principal methods of criticism. No
movement can overreach the mark
without eIiciting dozens of works of
art from caricaturists all over this and
all other countries.
This branch of criticism and attack
dates far back, but the greatest i'm.
pulse it ever felt came from the age
of tremendous speculation, when, in
1719 and 1130, John Law was manipu-
lating things financial in France. New
err before had the financial world been
so carried off its feet as it was at that
time. Members of the nobility were
waiting for chance to purchase
shares in Laws schemes. DucheSseS
and ladies of high renown tried their
most persuasive charms on Law in the
attempt to get hold of shares. Men
hired out their backs for writing desks,
so great was the press of business in
making contracts. and one hunchback
is reputed to have made 100000 francs
in this way in a few weeks. The
French went veritably mad over the
schemes to become wealthy. Natural
" the papers of the time, especially
those of Holland, caricatured the state
of affairs. There We're pictures of all
sorts, caricaturing Law, the nobility,
the schemes and everything connected
with them.
1t was this tremendous amount of
pictorial work that first directed the
energies of William Hogarth. in Lon
don, in this direction. Caricaturing
began to be used more and more in the
political field. and soon afterward it
caused the shelving of Robert Walpole
from the English ministry. Ever since
then has caricaturing been one of the
bitterest and most effectuaI methods of
checking public men and their |
schemes

days the type had only one nick, but
later two hicks became the style, and
80 years ago two hicks was the usual
thing. But there came improvements
IN typemaking, and it was discovered
that three or four hicks on the side of
the type made 1t easier for the printer
to handle, and SO the three or four
nicked type came into style and the
two nicked type went into disuse and
bad repute. Printers despised the two
nicked type. About that time women
got foothold in the printing offices.
They We're not regarded with favor By
the old time printers. The women and
the two nicked type were in about the
same category in the esteem of the old
typo, and it was very natural that he
should come to express both by the
same words. They both became two

Why the Br.sn Does Net GROW Old.
In his work on the senile heart, DR..
Balfour tells US that there are two
parts to the human organism which, If
wisely used. largely escape sentle
failure" These two are the brain and
the heart. Persons who think have
often wondered why brain-workers,
great Statesmen and others should
continue to work with almost unim-
paired mental activity and energy up
to a period when most Of the organs
and functions of the body are in a
condition of advanced senile decay.
There is physiological reason for
this, and DR.. Balfour tells US what 1t
il The normal brain, he affirms, re-
mains vigorous to the last" and that
because, its nutrition Is especially pro-
vided for" About middle life or
little later the general arteries Of the
body begin to lose their elasticity, and
to slowly but surely dilate. They be-
come, therefore, much less efficient
carriers of the nutrient blood to the
capillary areas But this is not the
case with the Internal carotids, which
supply the capillary areas Of the brain.
On the contrary, those large vessels
continue to retain their pristine
elasticity, 80 that the blood pressure
remains normally higher than within
the capillary area Of any other organ
in the body. The cerebral blood paths
being thus kept open, the brain tissue
= kept better nourished than the other
tissues Of the body" Who is there
among those who have reached or
passed middle age that will not be re-
3oiced to find such admirable physio-
logical warrant for the belief that the
brain may continue to work, and even
to improve almost to the very last
hours of life?

Well Said.

A late ls0ue OF the Chrlstian Union
Witness Herald, Excelsior Springs, No.,
(Rev. DR.. Flaok, now OF Grand June
tion.-editor) has the following to say to
it's numerous readers. as to the impor-
tanee of our valley and city;
within the scope and space OF one ar
ticle in these columns, we cannot give
our readers very extended account of
the unrivalsd attractions Of Grand
Junction, the Queen of the western slope
of Colorado.
Here we have one of the most beauti-
full and prosperous cities of the great
west. Lying sequestered at the june
ton OF two of the purest snow-fed crys-
taline rivers in the state; in most mag
nificent and productive valley, is a really
modern city, with charming and salu-
brious climate, at an altitude bidding
defiance to pulmonary diseases, and sub
sidiary complaints. The most delight
full days Of almost perpetual sunshine,
embossed by Aeesy clouds like pure
white linen, occasionally sweeping down
from crowned mountains. bringing balm
and ozone to thrill and fill the breast
with electro-static oxygen, and pulsating
every breath with whispers OF health
and song Of vital life; forceful and ener-
giving to every nerve. Here too il the
Indigenous home Of the rarest fruits,
ever kissed into rosy mellow lucious
hues. by the golden sunshine. Rippling
water ways traverse every street, bab-
bling streams Of health and cleanliness,
irrigation and charm to all the inhabi-
tants of this famous city. Trees line
the streets, flowers bloom. gardens smile
and birds Of fairest plumage sing in the
groves, parks and harbors. Talk Of
italian nights, and the Alhambra by
moonlight, but come to this city and
valley, for the revelation of the fact.
This city will bear comparison with the
most renowned in all the land. Fine
streets. electrict light, municipal water
works, sewerage, and first class govern
mont, Of which any people may feel
proud. Church edifices galore, great
education facilities, fraternal orders,
elsemosynary societies, common care and
genial fellowship, equality. human rights
and liberty. hang their ensigns on the
outsr walls Magnificent brick blocks,
palatial residences, hne opera house and
several superb halls, immense and sue
cessful sugar factory, and three great
continental railroads; that bring you
through the most magnificent and mon
umental scenery in all the world-excell-
ing the Alps and Apprentices Of Europe.
Here too are to be found fine and exten-
sive stocks in every line Of trade, and
sveything at prices rivaling these Of
Kansas City or Chicago-often lower.
Finer fruits never waved in the breeze
and ripened beneath the rays of the sun
and the dew drops, than distinguish
