Keep
Your Nerve

1t is nerve energy that runs
the organs Of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system Of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty Of nerve force; il
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation IS
sluggish, digestion bad, appe-
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with DR.. Miles Nervine.
It assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.

Or. Miles Nervine to those suffering
from nervous prostration, insomnia
and melancholy. After several
months suffering from above diseases
/ tried this medicine and found imme-

The Edison Company.

The excessive warm days of last
week are probably to be blamed for the
small audience that greeted the Edison
Theater Company with two nights
stand a, the Anna Dora opera house on
last Thursday and Friday. For pure,
unadulterated vaudeville, the Edison
Company furnished an example that is
worthy of commendation and it was the
common concensus of opinion that Mr..
Requea should have been complimented
by much larger patronage. The first
evenings performance was much
better one than the last and in present
ing itshould the company come to Delta
again they will probably be favored
with larger attendance and surely with
much satisfaction by all theater goers.

Bits by the Editor.

The Montrose Enterprise imaginesi its
simply terrible that Anton Woode has
married. Anton, killed man when he
was ten years old. Skinner SAYS that
| his children will all be criminals, or
intimates such. Our experiences has
been that it's the preachers boy that
more often goes wrong and the crlmi-
NAILS son that more often is the preacher.
But never mind Enterprise, this life is
short and you and l will be well along
in years before Anton's family will have
been able to show their disregard for
the laws of the commonwealth and
besides don't be to sure about that
Colorado girl. Remember that over In
Denver the heroine of many feminine
hearts was Mrs. S:hmidlap2, wlo
delib. rately and in her right mind,
killed her husband because he had
"degradei' her. We've got need Of
your "fool killer" right her, in our
own state.
The Olathe Criterion says there is
man in Montrose that is relation OF
Budweiser. We don't know how
many relations Bud has down here but
he has many close friends that are in
the habit of calling on him daily. Bud
has tendencies peculiar to himself and
imparts many of them to his associates.
A Montrose paper delibertaly used
picture of Head Consul l. l. Boak,
Woodman of the World, in illustrating
the groom of coming wedding. We
do not know the groom but will vouch-
safe that he has had good little laugh
ere this at the bit of yellow journalism.
When man is down there are more
people who try 10 hold him down than
there are who try to help him up and
when man is up there are more pee
pie who try to push him up than there
are who try to push him down. And
twill ever be thus.
The bosses" in Denver are in de-
cided i'll favor over the state and it
wouldn't be bit surprising If there
was a little weeping and gnashing Of
teeth this fall. At least there ought TO
be.
