DRAGGING OVER
HIS LONG FAST
Jack Inglis Starving Out
Rheumatism, but He
Is Not Believed

ACK Inglis is still Dragging about
his long fast. Every day he struts
- about the Union Pacific offices and
tells every friend that he lis still on
the fast"
Railroadmen are becoming unusually
skeptical about the tale and are threat
ening to place detective on his trail
to see if he doesn't do his eating when
no one is around. Inglis goes to bed
about o'clock at night and rises
about a. m. and it will be hard
job detecting him. However, if he
doesn't announce that the fast has
been broken and that he is rid of his
rheumatism, in very short time,
there is rumor in the air that he is
to be taken out and a square meal pur-
chased for him.
In recent years great advances have
been made in the art of printing, not
only in color effects, but in artistic
Typography and improved methods of
Illustration. The railroads are the
quickest to take advantage of the
newest and the most up to date pro-
cesses in artistic printing. A particu-
larly fine example of the highest class
of illustrated pamphlet work is "A
Glimpse of Utah." just issued by the
passenger department of the Denver
and Rio Grande railroad. The text is
by the brilliant writer, Judge E. F.
Colborn of Salt Lake City. and the
excellent illustrations picture the many
unique features of that interesting
state, Utah.
