wYoMING's NEW LAKE.
Scenic Beauty Spot Created by
Huge Dam.

The Engineers of the Reclama-
ton Service have added a beauti-
ful lake to WyOming's numerous
scenic attractions. By clOsingthe
entrance to a narrow canyon in
the ShOShOne River with the high
est dam in the world, a broad
mountain meadow has been
changed to a turquoise lake, COW
ering an area Of ten square miles
more than 100 feet deep. The
lake is trimmed by lofty noun
tams which in places slope to the
waters edge and there are nu-
merOuS bays where the cliffs rise
vertically two thousand feet in
height. As the lake is located IN
the region Of the Yellowstone Ma
tlOnal Park, the same wonderful
and varied cOlOringS are found
On the rocks which make our Ma
tiOnal Park so interesting and at
trative.
In early Geologic times, the
site of the new lake was occupied
by a similar body of water. Dur
In countless centuries its waters,
finding cracks and creviceS in the
mountain barrier gradually carved
a canyon through which the lake
was finally emptied. The old lake
b-d then became a wide grassy
meadow over which grazed the
herds Of buffalo, elk and deer,
and lat3r the cattle and sheep of
the StOckmen. When the ShO-
shOne dam, a concrete wedge 32S
feet high was placed in the gorge.
the meadow was submerged, and
an enormous reservoir was Great
ed. Today, this vast quantity of
water is a perpetual guarantee to
several hundred farmers that
bOmtiful crops will annually re-
ward their labOrs. Twenty miles
down the river is a broad level
plain embracing 10000 acres,
dotted with homes of new set
tiers. Waving fields of grain,
broad viStaS of alfalfa and sugar
beets have replaced a desert
waste. Located at favorable
points on the railroad which cross
es the irrigated lands are located
three thriving towns. whose sub
stantial buildings and large stock
of goods reflect the prosperity
and success which has attended
the efforts of the farmers.
From a sheep pasture of but lit
tie value, this broad flat has be-
come a rich agricultural region
which in scenic attractions, In de-
lightful climate, and in crop pos
Sibilities is already taking first
rank among the prosperous farm
communities of the Northwest.
The settlers here are cOSmOpOli-
tan and up to date. They come
from almost every part Of the
Union and a. gOOdly number are

Doctors Question.
Much Sickness Due to Bowel
Disorders.

A doctors first question when
consulted by a patient is, Are
your bowels regular?" He knows
that 90 per cent of illness is at
tended with inactive bowels and
torpid liver, and that this condi-
tion must be removed gently and
thoroughly before health can be
restored.
Rexall Orderlies are a positive,
pleasant and safe remedy for con-
stipation and bowel disorders in
general. We are so certain of
their great curative value that
we promise to return the pur-
chaser's money in every case
when they fail to produce entire
satisfaction.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy, they act quietly, and have
a soothing, strengthening, heal
ing influence on the entire intes-
final tract. They do not purge,
gripe, cause nausea, flatulence,
excessive looseness, diarrhoea or
other annoying effect. They are
especially good for children,
weak persons or old folks. Two
sizes, 25c. and 10c. Sold only at
our store-The Rexall Store. NJ.
