Vista, has traded his store, house
and some 400 acres of land near
Center, for business in Coffey

side, so there was nothing to ship
either way.
Mr.. Willard has made good mon
ey in the San Luis Valley, but
during the past winter has suffered
with rheumatism, during which
time he has made two trips to
Kansas and was free from it while
there. This is the reason Mr..

are here and Mr.. Millard and fam
lily leave this friday night for

We want you to believe in us, we be-
lieve in YOU, and are sure it will be OF
benefit to both parties. We intend to
run store here that will be a source OF
pride to everyone connected with the
town, not altogether for the money We
might make, but for the benefit of the
town and community. What does more
to boost a town than the stores it con-
tans? Where there are up to date
stores people feel safe in investing their
money in homes and business enter
prises. II you make the least claims to
being booster for your home town, you
are going to patronize its business
houses; il not you are the worst knocker
it is possible to be. II you want to see
a greater Monte Vista, spend your
money where it will help bring this
about. II you want to see q greater
Denver or Chicago spend your money
accordingly.
We have preached along this line be-
fore but when We see some OF our peo-
pie who claim to have the best interests
OF the town at heart, and who in
reality liz they could see the point are
vitality interested. discriminating against
the town, we feel like saying something.

and glass of cold water on retiring.
As to foods that will remedy this
state of liver, fruits. such as apples,
prunes. figs, dates and strawberries
are essentials of daily living One
physician advocates the use of a few
ounces of plain molasses candy at the
end of meal. Fruits may be eaten
at any time. All broths except NUT

tables and vegetable soups are desir-

No treatment that is limited to the
diet alone will show any beneficial re-
suits unless exercises are taken in
connection. Walking briskly should
be regarded as part of the treatment.
At least an hour each day should he
spent in this healthful exercise. Night
and morning, when unrestrained by
tight clothing, different exercises
should be taken. An excellent one to
quicken the action of the liver is to
stand or sit twisting the body first to
