Make it Yourself.

There is so much rheumatism
here in our neighborhood now that
the following advice by an emi-
nent authority, who writes for
readers of large eastern daily pa
per, will be highly appreciated by
those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy
ne-half ounce Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one ounce Compound
kargon, three ounces of Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake these
well in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and
at bed time; also drink plenty of
good water.
1t is claimed that there are few
victims of this dread and tortur-
Gus disease who will fail to find
ready relief in this simple home
made mixture, and in most cases
a permanent cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elm
inative tissues of the kidneys SO
that they can filter and strain from
the blood and system the poisons,
acids and waste matter which
cause not only rheumatism but
numerous other diseases. Every
man or woman here who feels that
their kidneys are not healthy and
active, or who suffers from any
urinary trouble whatever, should
not hesitate to make up this mix
ture, as it is certain to do much
good and may save you from much
misery and suffering after a while.
Our home druggists say that
they will either supply the ingred-
tents or mix the prescription all
ready to take if our readers ask
them.

The San Luis Valley.

AllnOuSu SOule Vi lne lISJ lITl-
cation bitches constructed in the
territory of the United States wa
| tered portions of the San Luis
valley, the developments of the
last few years have made this part
of Colorado almost as much new
territory for the homeseeker and
irrigation promoter as though it
had just been discovered.
The valley lies in the south cen
trail part of Colorado, small por-
tion of it extending into New Mex
leo. In area it is about the size
of the state of Connecticut, being
100 miles long north and south by
an average of 40 miles wide and
lies between the Continental di-
vide on the west and the Sangre
de Cristo Range of Colorado on
the east, which with their spurs
entirely enclose it.
Its geological history is that of
great lake or sea, fed by numer-
GUS glaciers, creeks and rivers of
the surrounding mountainous
watersheds which brought down
vast quantities of silt and soil to
be distributed by the action of the
water evenly over the bottom of
the lake, filling and smoothing its
inequalities until it became level
plain of rich soil, sloping gently
from all sides to the center. Then
by the slow cutting of the canon
on the south by its overflow waters
the lake was drained.
The largest stream which fed
the old lake was the Rio Grande
del Norte (Great River of the
North having its source in the
Continental Divide and entering
the lake from the west side. AS
the lake was drained this river cut
a new shallow channel for itself
across the old lake bed to near its
center, and then curving to the
south found its exit through the
canon, the only outlet of the val
ley. Three other streams, the
Coneios, the La Jara and the Ala
mosa were strong enough to find
their way across the lake bed or
valley, and join the Rio Grande.
Numerous other streams, such as
Rock Creek, La Garita, Carnero.
Saguache, Cottonwood, Medano,
Sand Creek and many others flow
into the valley, but their waters
soon after passing the rim of the
valley either sink or spread out
over the surface, or both, produc-
ing great natural hay meadows.
The character of the soil was
determined largely by the nature
of the silt and sediment brought
down by the different streams into
the old lake and deposited under
the grading and concentrating ac-
tian of the water, the prevailing
sediment of the stream giving
character to the soil of an area op-
posite it's point of discharge and
the mingling of the sediments of
different streams to the soil of the
interspaces.
The soil varies from a heavy
adobe lin limited areas) through a
heavy, dark alluvium, toa lighter,
very friable, sandy or gravelly
loan. 1t is all rich and product
