Roosevelt Present-Much Interest
in Meeting.

Pueblo, Colo.-The officers of the
Eighteenth National Irrigation con-
gress are enthusiastic over the pros
poets Of having Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt as a guest of the city next
September.
Knowing that the ex-president
would be in the west in the autumn,
Chairman Dugan of the board of con-
troll cabled Mr.. Roosevelt cordial
invitation, in behalf of the irrigation
congress, to be the guest Of the city
during the congress
There are good reasons for believ-
ing that Mr. Roosevelt will be enabled
to attend. He is one of the strongest
supporters of the irrigation congress
and is greatly interested in its aims
and welfare.
The governors of the states of the
union are preparing to appoint the
official delegates to the congress.
Prompt and satisfactory responses are
being received from the officials of
outside states as we'll as the mayor
and prominent commercial bodies in
the great cities.
Al the pLllCCS VI lllc DOdIu VI Soh-
troll in the Central block, several
hundred communications are being
sent out daily to all parts Of the Unit
ed States in answer to inquiries con-
cerning the congress and irrigation in
terests in Colorado.
Several states are taking an active
interest and are arranging to partici-
pate in the irrigation exhibits of the
congress, for which elaborate prep
arations are being made. The coun-
ties are. contributing certain moder-
ate amounts OF money, for which they
will receive special advantages and
privileges for advertising and advanc-
ing the interests of their respective
| localities. This is a most attractive
| feature and the outside counties are
awakening sharply to the fact that
this is the opportunity Of lifetime
and that they cannot afford to miss
| it.
Every progressive citizen in the
state is boosting the irrigation con-
gress. thus helping himself and his

The Value Of Proprietary Medicines

The Value OF Proprietary MedIcihes
is proven by the very large percent
age of physicians prescriptions for
same remedies found in every drug
store in America but as they are writ
ten in Latin, few patients realize this
fact.
The old standard proprietary medi-
cines like Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, that have stood the
test of time, deserve a place in every
family medicine chest, and it is mos
certain that they would not be pre-
scribed by physicians if they were able
to devise a formula equally as effica-
cious.
