PRESIDENT BOOSTING

President Frederick NJ. Tisdel of the
University of Wyoming was in the city
this week in the interests of the uni

He reports that institution to be in
a fourishing condition and states that
the attendance this year is PAL, against
213 for last year. He calls the atten,
ton of Rock Springs high school stu,
dents to the different courses offered,
especially to the business training af'
forded by the school of commerce,
which is proving very popular with
those wishing a practical business
training. Prof. Tisdel grew up in WY,
oming and understands the people and
conditions and for this reason seems
especially well adapted to fill the posi-
ton he holds.

An airship inventor, who recently
sailed the first airship over New York
successfully, confesses frankly the
shortcomings of his invention int &C
knowledges that it could eve be
adapted for carrying passengers nor
for express service. The only CONNER
cial value of an airship is for exhibition
purposes, and the day of practical fly
ing-machines is still far distant. If
you want a practical medicine for that
poor, tired stomach of yours why don't
you try Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t has been used successfully for over
so years in cases of belching, bloating,
heartburn, flatulency, costiveness, dys.
pepsia, Indigestion, female ills, bilious,
ness and malaria, fever and ague, often
affecting a cure when other remedies
have failed. Give it a chance to prove
its merit and you'll be thankful for
taking the hint.
