Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send For Brooks
Rupture Appliance.

l. 1t is absolutely the only Appliance
of the kind on the market today, and in
it are embodied the principles that in
ventors have sought after for years
2. The Appliance for retaining the rup-
ture cannot be thrown out of position.
3. Being an air cushion of soft rubber
it clings closely to the body, yet never
b1isterS or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads.
used in other trusses. it is not cunber-
some or ungainly.
5. 1t is small, soft and pliable. and posi-.
lively cannot be detected through the
clothing.
6. The soft, pliable bands holding the
Appliance do not give one the unpleasant
sensation of wearing a harness.
z. There is nothing about it to get foul.
and when it becomes Soiled 1t can be
washed without injuring it in the least
s. There are no metal springs in the
Appliance to torture one by cutting and
bruising the flesh.
g. All of the material of which the
Appliances are made is of the very best
that money can buy, making it durable
and safe Appliance to wear.
10. My reputation for honesty and fair
dealing is SO thoroughly established by an
experience of over thirty years of dealing
with the public and my prices are so
reasonable my terms so fair. that there
certainly should be no hesitancy in send
ing free coupon today.

the Santa Fee in the near future will
run through the coal mining district of
the Arkansas valley and other points

latest and most approved methods Of

The department of the interior has
arranged with the Santa Fee to operate

Pullman company will arrive in Pueblo

will be run first through the western
section of the state. 1t is probable.
howevef, that all will be kept in the
vicinity of Pueblo as this city is stu
ated centrally in the mining regions.
On account of the numerous coal mine
disasters of the past year the govern
ment is endedvoring to supply the
means for the quickest and most effec-
tive manner of rescuing unfortunate
miners. Each of the six new cars is
fully equipped and, if necessary, all
can be in service at the same time.
In each car there are several sets OF
the latest Dragon oxygen helmets, sup
plies and paraphernalia necessary in
entering places where the oxygen is
used up. Besides supplying oxygen to
the W0dT0r OIL Tile H0lIUct oil dppdI dtuo
is attached for the resuscitation of the
overcome miner. Tt is a scientific
method of forcing the lungs into arti-
fetal respiration. The lungs are filled
with artificial air and the waste COM
ing from the lungs is absorbed in d
can of chemicals fastened to the pump.
On the demonstration tour the ele-
inentary principles of hygiene respir-
alton and the component parts of the
air, mine gases and the use of artif1-
cial respirators will be taught the min
ers The trip is expected to enlighten
the miners on the best methods to adopt
for their own safety and the rescue of
fellow workers.
The cars will be used extensively in
demonstrations, but it will be the aim
of the company officials to have one car
in Pueblo at all times ready for SER
vice in case of mine disasters.

Perhaps it will interest you TO know

1t would be a veritable God-send to the
unfortunate who suffer from rupture if
all could procure the Brooks Rupture APP
pliance and wear it. They would certainly
never regret it.
My. rupture is now all healed up and
nothing ever did it but your Appliance.
Whenever the opportunity presents it,
self I will say good word for your
Appliance, and also the honorable way
in which you deal with ruptured people.
1t is a pleasure to recommend a good
thing among your friends or strangers.

The balloon will carry water and

desert land must be passed oyer and
the aeronauts may have to land where
water and food are unobtainable.
Taylor is an enthusiastic amateur at
the balloon game. He has been in sew
eral competitions and recently flew
from Pittsfield. Mass, to a point near
this city in a heavy snow storm. A few.
days ago he organized The Flyers
among members of the New York
Yacht, Larchnlont Yacht and Lambs
clubs who are interested in balloons or
aeroplaneS.
This fight will be the final work Of
his apprenticeship. If he meets Stew
ems approval ON the voyage he will re-
ceive a pilots license from the Aero
Club of America.
The present record for length of flight
is held by Count de la VauX, who, with
st. Vicor rode from Vincennes, France,
to Korostychew, Russia, 1,19S miles, in
October, 1900. They were not in the

the endurance record. This is held by
Clifford Harmon, who in October Of
last year. in a fight from ST. Louis,
remained aIoft for 48 hours and 26 min
utes, though he covered nowhere near
the distance the Frenchman did.
In October of this year Hawley and
Post made their sensational flight from
St Louis. 1t will be remembered they
were lost to the world for about a
week: then their safe landing was re-
norted from the Canadian backwoods.
II was esta blished that they had re-

New York $4,000 Miles.
On an airline the distance from Wa

miles, which under highly favoring
conditions could be covered readily in
less than 40 hours. This would mean
travelling at an average speed of lit
