Chewing and Dyspepsia.

The lean dyspeptic, taking Ii
mouthful of chop, chewcd it inter-
minably.
Forty chews," he paused to say,
"for every bite" And his jaws be-
gan to grind again.

Meat requires little, if any, chew
ing. You must have wasted lot of
chews in your time"

Its true. Vegetables require
chewing, for they are digested largely
by the alkaline mouth juices, but
meat is digested by the acid stomach
juices. and to chew it more than
enough to make 1t go down easily
does harm instead of good. The
mouth alkalis, admixing with it, him
der the stomach acids work.

friend, but let your meat slip down

New Type of Roadway.

A new type of roadway has been
developed in some parts of California
known as the petrolithic, which is
nothing moro than well-bUilt oil
ed road. The leading feature of this
pavement is the very complete COM
pacting of the oiled material by
means of a rolling tamper, a new
piece of road machinery. 1t was de-
signed to insure the tampirg of the
material from the lower portions up
ward to the surface, instead of down.
ward from the surface. The invcn-
tor received the idea from seeing a
large flock of sheep walk over a new
ly plowed road After the sheep had
passed over it the soil was found to
be packed so hard that pick in
dentcd it but short distance. TO
obtain this effect with a roller the
circumference of the main roll is
covered with hampers, which act like
so many feet walking over the earth
and packing it down.

Personal Responsibility.

In a consular report from Ger
many which was published some
months ago the statement was made
that not only in every wreck, col
lision or minor railroad accident
thoroughly Investigated" in that
country, but that Invariably some
one is held responsible and punished
for the occurrence" except where
the proof is conclusive that human
vigilance and care could not have
averted it. 1t is strange and per-
picking to contrast this condition
with the situation in this country.
Apart from the fact that as yet no
provision has been made for thorough
governmental investigation of acct
dents and for reports definitely fixing
responsibility, there is the graver cir
cumstance that no one here is APP
parently in danger of punishment for
his share of responsibility for rail,
road accident. So far no one has
ever been convicted for negligence
causing a wreck, and the result OF
recent trials is very significant, to
say the least.
The other day jury acquitted the
who had been indicted for the Terra
Gotta, d. c., wreck of year ago,
one of the worst railroad disasters
in the history of such calamitics.
The evidence in regard to the signals
was conflicting, and the engineer
proved that he had worked extra
hours-of his own free willard
gone long without sleep Immediately
before the accident. Some two weeks
ago q New York court ordered a YER
dict of acquittal in tho case of the
vice president and general manager
of the New York Central, who had
been indicted for negligence in con-
neCtion with the terrible Woodlawn
wreck. No direct responsibility had
been traced to the defendants, who.
in the opinion of the Judge, could
not be expected to know the exact
condition of every curve, switch, mile
of track, etc, on a great line.-Chi

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia e. Pinlham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination otdrugs.
Lydia E. PinEIlam's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muit, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
"Complete restoration to health
means so much to mo that for the sake
of other suffering women | am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years l had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago | wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia Il. Pnkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutt,
il will do for other suffering women,

very contagious among stock. 1t was
brought into the valley, it is report
ed. some weeks ago by horse that
was shipped from the east and soon
got start among local horses which
are usually remarkably free each sea-
son from the ravages of any manner
of disease.
1t is said that the influenza proves
more fatal to the highbred horse
than to the horse that is not high
bred A commonbred or scrub horse
cab usually successfully battle with
the disease, but it seems that the
most heroic efforts are necessary to
save a highbred horse when once
attacked by the disease. The malady
acts very quickly.
1t is to be hoped that the disease
will soon be wiped out of the valley

was owned by DR.. Drew and one or

in the Drew veterinary hospital just
two weeks to the day after 1t had

lions ever brought to Mesa county.
He was 8 years old.
Within an hour or two of the time
of Jack Kelly's death, Babe, a half
sister of Jack Kelly and almost
equally as high bred. owned by Sher-
iff Marion Henry of Eagle county,
died. Only last week Sheriff Henry
refused an offer of $500 for the pret-

The two horses suffered from in
fiuenza, called pink eye by many
horsemen. The two horses were ill
only few days. Everything known
to the veterinary profession for the
relief of such illness was brought in
to service to save the valuable young
horses. DR.. Drew and his assistants
worked faithfully and tenderly night
and day to save the horses, but to
no avail. The high bred animals
could not withstand the ravages of
the disease.
