FIRE AT DuNToN ON
WEST DOLORES


Telluride Journal
The village of Dunton. at West Do
lores Hot Springs, had quite serious
fire Thursday night. A group of log
cabins, including the old bath house
and the long log building that com
prised the chief lodging place of the
resort, were totally wiped out by fire.
The old log structure, while not of
great value from the standpoint of
modern architecture, was quite a
comfortable place, and great deal
of a relic. 1t was a very long build
ing, divided up into apartments. each
with separate outside entrance. and
each with its own fireplace. Modern
structures may be more attractive,
but none will be more comfortable
and interesting. Its destruction is a
distinct loss to Dunton.
Mayor Rogers. OF Telluride, was the
principal owner of the property to-
gether with the hot springs and more
| modern structures.

Doctor CUPID.
One of His Prescriptions.

WHAT Love sometimes cures disease is
L fact that has recently been called
to the attention of the public by prom
inent physician and college professor.
In some nervous diseases of women, such
as hysteria, this physician gives instances
where women were put in a pleasant
frame OF mind, were made happy by fall
ing in love, and in consequence were
cured of their nervous troubles - the
weak, nervous system toned and stimu-
lated by little DIR. Cupid-became strong
and vigorous, almost without their
knowledge. Love is not, however, the
cure for all women Many woman is
nervous and irritable, feels dragged
down and worn out for no reason that
she can think of. She may be ever so
much in love, but DIR. Cupid fails to cure
her. In such cases the body is not
sound-tlie nervousness and other symp-
toms are telegraphed all over the body
by the nerves (Which is the Geographic
system of the human body) because the
weak spot demands attention. In nine
ty-nine per cent. of these cases it ia the
womanly organism which requires at
tention; the weak back. dizzy spells and

Together we mounted the stairs the
