The opportunity for the man OF lit
tie means is probably better TODAY in
the prairie states of the southwest
than ever before in the history of the
nation. The chance of pre-empting
claims or OF taking up lands under
government laws is gone and will not
return again. 1t is a different kind of
cBening which lies before the settler
and its promise is of exceeding bright
ness It's best opportunity is shown
in the great southwest where the
transformation is going on and where
the conditions of soil and climate is
IN harmony with the warm skies and
temperate winds. To the man who is
not satisfied with his condition. the
southwest has an inviting future.
Along the lines of the Missouri
Kansas & Texas railway there are vast
areas of unimprOved lands AWAITING,
Wiling hands to make them Weld the
DouRtiful crops of which the land 3s
capable. There is need of stores
factories and new business of every
description. It is the finest kind Of
an opportunity in the finest section az
the United States. The southwest Is
tihty of its soils-for its climate. Ito
Geop1e are progressive and up-to-date
its religious and educational facilities
are Is good as can be found elsewhere
The ri. K. & T. railway has no
lands for sale, but is Interested IN
building up this productive country
1t is believed that the southwest has
brighter prospects and offers bette,
opportunities than any other section
Seeing is believing. For that reason

the cen ditions as they exist Anvona

McGraW's Team Must Report in Dixie

on March /.
New York, Dec. ARRANGE ments
for the spring training trip of the
worlds champion Giants are rapidly

the invasion of the south are practical
Iy settled. On March 1 Manager Nc
Graw and the players win report at
Memphis, where they will remain IN
til March 20, playing some exhibition
games with the local team.
Manager McGraw determined on this
location, as he desired to get farther
away from the sea coast where the
team is not as liable to encounter cold,
damp weather.
On March "a the team will play at

northern trip will be played at Louis

Tt has been decided next year to in
troduce a new idea in travelling uni-

road, the black suit which the team
wore in the worlds champion series
and the gray, the team changing from
time to time on their trip. This will be
an innovation.

The great curse of the world is hui

The great hindrance to the worlds

effective measure which will overcome
this hideous monster is to open the

A Great Psychologist
Once Said That the Way to Keep
the Stomach Healthy Is
to Exercise It.
But He Did Not Tel How to Make 1t
Healthy.


The muscles of the body can be de
veloped by exercise until their strength
has Increased manifold, and a proper
amount of training each day Will ac-
complish this result but it is some
what doubtful whether you can in
crease the digestive powers of the
stomach by eating indigestible food in
order to force it to work.
Nature has furnished us all with a
perfect set of organs, and if they are
not abused they will attend to the
business required of them. They need
no abnormal strength.
There is a limit to the weight man
can lift, and there is also limit to
what the stomach can do.
The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion
and many similar diseases is that the
stomach has been exercised too much
and 1t is tired or worn out Not exer-
else but rest is what it needs
To take something into the stomach
that will relieve it from its work for
81 short time-something to digest the
food-will give it a rest and allow it
time to regain its strength.
The proper aid to the digestive or
gans is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
which cure dyspepsia, Indigestion, gas
on the stomach and bowels, heartburn,
paIpitation of the heart, and all stom-
ach diseases.
Rest and IMMIGRATION is what the
stomach gets when you use Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets, for one grain of the
active principle in them is sufficient to
digest 5000 grains of food.
The Tablets increase the flow Of gas
trio Juice, and prevent fermentation,
acidity and sour eructons.
Do not attempt to starve out dys-
pepsia. You need all your strength.
The common sense method is to di-
eest the food for the stomach and give
&c q rest
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
make the cure. but enable the organs

Perfect digestion means perfect
health, for under these conditions only

YALE's RECORD BEST.
Goal Line of the Blue Not Crossed for
a Touchdown in 1905.

New York. Dec $50 far as scores are
concerned, the Yale eleven has made the
best record of the year in the east. Fac
ing the strongest opposition In the east,
with the exception of the PENNSYLVANIA
eleven, Yale has been scored upon but
once, and that by a goal from field.
Not since the beginning of the season
has any eleven crossed the Yale goal for
a touchdown. Considering the light
weight of the team as individuals, and
not as a whole, 1t is the best display of
defensive work that has ever been made
by big varsity eleven. There have been
teams which approximated the present
Yale development, but none which have
equaled it.

Mr. Heasley has just returned from
a visit to the company's property in
Peru and tells a most interesting
story Of the journey there the time re
quired for making the trip being five
months and much of the scenery
passed through being grand beyond
description.
He went by steamer from New York
to Colon, thence across the isthmus to
Panama where he boarded another
steamer bound for Mollendo, Peru. a
town Of considerable Importance, near
the southern extremity of Peru, and
its northern boundary OF Chill. Here
he embarked by rail to Lake Titlcaca
on the boundary between Peru and
Bolivia, reaching the highest altitude
which has ever been attained by q
railroad, the above lake being y. so
feet above sea level.
They reached the lake or the western
side and then embarked on a steamer
for Buno on the eastern shore the
lake being sixty five miles in width.
From the latter place the trip is made

The Inca mines which are located
