prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home;
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one.haK
ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ources.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle,
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip
ton pharmacy at small cost, and be-
ing OF vegetable extraction, are harm.
less to take.
This plea ant mixture. il taken req.
ularly for few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, di.
minishes with each dose, until perma.

out lnjuring the stomach. While
there are many so-called Rheumatism
remedies, patent medicines, ETC., some
OF which do give relief, few really give
permanent results, and the above will
no doubt be greatly appreciated by
many sufferers here at this time.

Fish From the Car Windows.

Passengers on the Southern Pacific
overland trains are having rare sport
trolling from the car windows for fish
In the Salt0n sea, and good catches
have been made. About midway ON
the sea an arroyo extends back into
the mountains. The track crosses
this on . trestle. The water 10 fifteen
to twenty-five feet deep. and 1t has
become . custom Of the dining car
porter to throw overheard the scraps
from the table there. Thousands Of
hsh Of all sizes lie In wait for the
train and can be easily seen.
A few days ago an irrepressible
fisherman prepared his hook and line,
and ~ the train slowly Numbered
over the long trestle. swung II far out
over the water. This the fish mis-.
took for their customary meal. and q
voracious carp. three feet long. seized
the bait and was drawn aboard the
Pullman. With this beginning the
sport has grown to such an extent
that the passenger trains are now sup
piled with fish for the dining cars.
