HOT WEATHER DEBILITY.
How to Protect Oneself AGAINST
Heat Fatigue, and Summer
Disease.

Many people are SO easily affected by
the hot weather as to be capable of but
little work during the summer months.
Inquiry among this class will show that
in nearly every instance there is a
week stomach and more or less indiges-
tion. Put the digestive organs right by
using Mona stomach tablets and the
summer time will prove the pleasantest,
most desirable and enjoyable season of
the year.
One little Mi-o-na tablet before each
meal will give you life, vitality, energy
and physical endurance during the
heated term and ward off the ordinary
diseases of summer. Mi-o-na is not an
ordinary summer tonic or digestive, it
is true strengthened of the digestive
system, building up the organs to per-
feet health and vitality by curing the
indigestion and absolutely removing all
pains and distress in the stomach,
specks before the eyes, sick and nerv-
Gus headache, and other symptoms that
come from weakened stomach.
Mi-o-na makes positive and lasting
cures and is sold by L. P. yanWerden
under an absolute guarantee that it will
cure all diseases of the stomach, except
cancer, or the money will be refunded.
Ask him to show you the guarantee
he gives with every SOC boz of Mi-o-na.

tlde of 11,6G0 feet. Only three and
one-half hours 'from summers glow to
winters snow!'
Eleven miles over on the Pacific slop
is the little station of Arrow, the end
OF our one day trip; but before we
reach it there is one feature of more
than passing interest to which the
readers attention is now invited. This
is the tunnel under the loop After
crossing the high trestle the road
winds around the mountain and coming
back on lower level enters the tunne ell
directly underneath the track above.
Standing on the rear platform the
sight seer energies from the tunnel and
wonders how it all happened as he
views the trestle above where the train
passed but few moments before.
There are several buildings at this
point, one or two stores and a saloon.
nearly all built of logs. Several of our
party got out and climbed up the en-
bankment behind the depot building.
The view from this point is charming
indeed. The hills rise around in rugged
grandeur, and the valleys stretch
away in tortuous course as if to break
up the monotony of the picture. Here
at an altitude of nearly 10000 feet the
air is cold and bracing even in June.
On this particular day the atmosphere
was clear and the snow-capped peaks
that lift their heads not far to the west
caught the bright sunshine and spark
led welcome to us from their banks of
eternal snow while we stopped and
gathered wild flowers growing at our
feet. 1t was an idealday, and everyone
conduced to make our short stay at
Arrow most delightful and long to be
remembered.
The return trip was no less delight
full. One does not appreciate the
height OF the mountains until he be-
gins to descend them. A tall building
appears much higher when viewed from
the top story. If the mountains are
grand and imposing when seen from
below, they are sublime and awe-in-
spring when viewed from above. In
stead of looking up--up to peaks whose
tops seem always above us, the picture
is now reversed and we look down on
the heights we have climbed, into the
valleys and canyons we have traversed.
The mind is lost in admiration and
wonder and cannot but revert to
thoughts of Him who "stood and meas
ured the earth,' and raised the ever
lasting mountains as monument for
ever to his infinite power and dominion
over all. Natures handiwork and mans
daring appear in some new form at
every turn. With brakes set the train
glides down the winding grade, now
between banks of snow, then bursting
out into some picturesque valley,
through pine forests, past huge rocks
and boulders, swinging round precipi-
tous mountain sides in sharp curves,
rafting over high trestles that make
one dizzy, by frowning cliffs and deep
gorges, through rocky tunnels, past
noisy waterfalls and shimmering lakes,
down into the foothills, and, at last,
out into the plain below. However, all
journeys must have an end; we reached
Denver at half past five o'clock in the
evening, and as the passengers stepped
from the train there was at least one
among them who felt that in one day he
had been amply repaid Tor his trip to
the mountains of Colorado.
