This great multi-millionaire was too
busy to work. about the condition of
his stomach. He allowed his dyspep-

fortune should serve as a warning to
others. Every one who suffers with
dyspepsia for a few years will give
everything he owns for new stom-

Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There is
one element missing-Pepsin. The alb
sence of this destroys the function of
the gastric fluids. They lose their
power 10 digest food
We are now able to supply the pep
sin in a form almost identical to that
naturally created by the system when
in normal health. so that It restores
to the gastric juices their digestive
power. and thus makes the stomach

SAYS POSTOFFICE BUSINESS
IS SETTER THAN EVER
THIS SEASON OF YEAR

1 noticed in a recent issue of The
Daily Record you referred to an in
crease in the bank deposits here as
an evidence of the prosperity of the
community While this is undoubted-
" true, to my mind the best index to
material conditions as they now exist
in Canon City is furnished by the rev.
enues of the local post office.
The transactions at the post office
show very clearly the continued
growth of the town and the prosper
Gus conditions prevailing among the
people of the community The re-
ceipts from the sale of postage stamps,
stamped envelopes, etc, will be larger
for November than during any corre-
spending month in the history of the
post Office and the number of strang-
ers calling at the general delivery
windows is greater than ever before
at this season of the year. In looking
over the list of new boxes rented we
find upwards of twenty of them in the
hands of new families; people whom
we have never seen or heard of be-
fore. The fact that these conditions
are new and unusual in this 1ffice
renders 1t worthy of newspaper COM
ment. r. s. LEWIS. Postmaster.

There is more catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies. and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co. Toledo. Ohio. is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses of from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system They
offer one hundred dollars for any case

THE TOBACCO TRUST.

The report of Herbert Knox Smith.
commissioner of corporations, on the
tobacco industry is comprehensive and
nopolies operating in the United States,
but none more grinding and oppressive
than the tobacco combination. The
trust was recently declared illegal by
the United States court, but n handing
down its opinion the court said that the
consumer did not suffer any injury by
reason of its operation. The court
erred in its conclusion as TO the con-
sumner, though perhaps the evidence did
not show the contrary.
The decision of the court was that the
tobacco trust should cease to operate
as such, but it is not so easy to break
up a combination as It is to form it,
and so far as known no steps have
been taken to comply with the courts
order.
There are numerous other trusts in
existence in defiance of the law, and if
like judgment is rendered in the cases
vet TO be tried We shall doubtless hear
much about the widows and orphans
and the innocent stockholders. The
steel trust in particular has been busy
in scattering its watered stock over the
country, doubtless for the purpose OF
making this plea when the people
finally get tired of extortionate prices.
Having been licensed by President
Roosevelt to violate the law. however,
perhaps the United States Steel eorpo-
ration will escape punishment during
the administration of Taft. The to-
bacco trust hasn't any friend at court
and is under the ban,

and to trim the finger nails on Sunday
betokens that before the end Of the

of which he is ashamed. A bit Of

Is an evil omen, to be followed by bad

THE WARNING DREAM.

Napoleon believed devoutly in dreams
as warnings or even as forecasts Of what
was TO come. and even he who most
Drides himself upon his freedom from
superstition knows of or has experienced
at least one dream that cannot be ex-
planned as a mere result of overlooking.
When we contemplate dreams and their
ramificatiOns science can help US but lit
tie in their explanation. Wilkie Collins
showed this TO be so in one of his most
ingenious novelS-"Armadale.
Warning dreams, or "premOnitions.
may be the result OF natural laws which
We do not understand. Lincoln was not
counted superstitous because he had
alter of one dream at least for 1t visited
his sleep on several occasions, and he
spoke of II seriously to members OF his
family and to his closest friends In tell
ing of this vision he said he seemed TO
be in "a singular, indescribable vessel, but
always the same, moving with great ra-
pidity toward a dark and indefinite
shore"
The dream preceded several marked in
cidsnts during his occupancy of the pres
idential chair. notably before the battles
on Antietam, Fredericksburg and Gettys-
burg. The morning of the memorable
April II ne informed members Of his cab
met that he had dreamed this same thing
were on the threshold Of some mOmentous
issue. So impressive were his remarks
that his auditors were profoundly moved.
But no seer among them could read the
warning Alright and fOresee the awful
news of his assassination which should
be flashed that night to a stunned and
Mortified people.

CHIP SUBSIDY SCHEME.

was stated a day or two ago that a
special rule would be brought in and
the measure driven through under whip
and spur. The subsidy scheme has been
beaten many times in past congresses,
but the lobby has never given up the
hope Of finally getting its hands in In
Gle Sans pockets. Perhaps the time
has arrived at last when the so-called
watchdogs of the treasury are asleep
and the agents of the steamship COM
psnies on the floor Of the house ex-
tremely wakefUl and alert, The deficit
for the present year will reach $3.50 000,-
600 and there seems to. be d disposition
to let the tail go with the hide" Once
again we hear the Republican ''hurrah

There may be a day of reckoning ahead
for some OF the congressman If tbs
bill goes through.

considered quickly. 1t can be said that
there is absolutely an open market on all
lines OF finished steel except standard
rails. The United States Steel Corpora
ton, Pennsylvania Steel company, Beth
lelem Steel company, Cambria Steel COM
pany and the Lackawanna Steel COM
pany, all makers of steel rails, have en-
tered into an agreement to maintain the
price of S2s per ton
Prices OF pipes and tubes which 1t was
thought were to be protected from a cut,
are also being slashed. The plan adopted
by Andrew Carnegie in 1897 is being fol-
lowed in this instance, and il is believed
the price-cuttinS war will be brief as 4
