Animas counties Senator Scott pro-
duced a letter which, he said. was
from a citizen of Huerfano. and a

while the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com
pany owns more than either the Rio
Grande or Colorado & Southern rail-
road companies. its annual assessment
was based on valuation OF 100000,
while the Rio Grande was assessed on
a valuation of 100000 and the Colo
rado & Southern on a valuation of
100000. The result, the latter
claimed, was that the revenue OF the
coal mines was levied from the agri-
cultural and business interests. Hay
is the largest agricultural crop and
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
is the largest consumer of the product

INDIGESTION ENDS.
Misery from Your Disordered Stom-
aCh goes in Five Minutes.

You can eat anything your stomach
Graves without fear of case of Indi-
gestion or Dyspepsia, or that your food
will ferment or sour on your stomach il
you will occasionally take little
Diapepsin after eating.
Your meals will taste good, and any
thing you eat will be digested; nothing
can ferment or turn into acid or poison
or stomach gas, which causes Belching,
Dizziness, feeling of fullness after
eating, Nausea, Indigestion like a lump
of lead in stomach,) Billiousness, Heart
burn, Water brash, Pain in stomach and
intestines or other symptoms.
Headaches from the stomach are alb
solutely unknown where this effective
remedy is used. Diapepsin really does
all the work of healthy stomach. 1t
digests your meals when your stomach
can't. Each triangule will digest all
the food you can eat and leave nothing
to ferment or sour.
Get large 50-cent case of Pape's
Diapepsin from your druggist and start
taking today and by tomorrow you will
actually brag about your healthy,
strong stomach, for you then can eat
anything and everything you want with
out the slightest discomfort or misery,
and every particle Of impurity and gas
that is in your stomach and intestines
is going to be carried away without the
use of laxatives or any other assistance.

ASK US TO PRINT IT.
This Town Has Its Share of Dread
Disease, Which Is Said To Yield
to Simple Home REGIME,

To relieve the worst forms of Rheu-
matism, take a teaspoonful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Tnese harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking them we'll
in a bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, which causes
rheumatism.
AS rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
sufferers here at home, who should at
once prepare the mixture to get this
relief.
1t is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly, dose
or two daily, or even few times a
week, would never have serious kidney
or urinary disorders or rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
rheumatism prescriptions which really
relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it, you want it badly.
