Business Conditions Better.

Though not the popular estimate when
it was made, each successive business day
brings now forceful attestation of what

that in the face of all the pessimism
choruses; but the verification is inspirit-
oftener than little minds sometimes
think confidence is an asset worth while.
Expressions from important railway
managers come along now to confirm
what Mr.. Earl said at the years begin

Union Pacific and Atchison affirming that
the business outlook as disclosed to them
throughout their tens of thousands of
mileage is improved. is distinctly favor

Some effort is made to arouse market

exercised over such development have al

They finally discover they have been fool
conditions throughout the country. They
have counted upon Industrial hard times?
There are no such hard times. They have
mouthed a vast deal about labor having
to be liquidated. And labor is agreeably
employed. They have prophesied a wide
spread cutting Of dividends. There are
more increases than decreases. They
have foreseen shrunken transportation

cars and worn-out rails would make
travel so dangerous that the public would
become nervous, irate and oppressive-the
railroads, according to this much-chantcd
normal dirge, being absolutely unable to
pay out the money that normal mainte-
nance requires. This bOgdy-tawdry as all
the rest-calls for no comment other than
the news bulletins daily provide. Like
these, for telling example, found in a
single days record this very week: Louis

100 new steel cars, Illinois Central calls

Nidhey remedy that can be depended

made from pure roots and herbs. and
the only one that is backed by willing
testimony of Durango people. Here's
a case:
Mrs. j. A. Strom, 800 Fourth ave
nue., Durango, Colo, says: 81 could
not rest in any position, owing to
pans in my back and at night there
was a steady ache across my loins.
Sharp twinges seized me when | at
tempted to arise from a chair and INV
back was extremely weak. The kid
ney secretions were also un atural and
showed that my kidneys W, re at fault.
Learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured a supply at G. E. Tiffany Jr.'s
Drug Store. They relieved the pains
in my back and restored my kidneys
to normal condition. Since then
whenever have felt in need of
kidney medicine, | have taken Doanls
Kidney Pills and they hlye always
brought benefit. 1t gives me pleasure

Domestic Science Pupils Give
Reception and Demonstration

reception and Demonstration
The many patrons of the Durango
schools who attended the reception
and demonstration given by the do
mestic science department, under the
atle supervision of Miss Durbin, are
enthusiastic supporters of the work.
Not only are the students trained in
the kitchen arts but the scientific and
cultural side as well. Even the cour-
tesies that add charm to the hostess
have part in the course, as was
pleasingly evidenced in the happy
manner in which the young ladies of
both the high school and the grades
received and extended hospitality to
the guests. Twenty-Five girls in
dainty uniforms carried out success
fully their demonstration work in a
room designed to accommodate only
half that number. Among the good
things produced by the culinary ar
fists were corn and graham muffins,
yeast rolls, English roll waters,
sponge cake with water icing and cof-
fee. The receipts were dictated and
workers had to apply their knowledge
of Figures" by reducing the proper
tions one-third before preparing them.
The delicious eats were served to the
guests. If there We're any present
who were skeptical about the advisa-
bility of giving domestic science a
part in the school curriculum they
came away convinced it was one of
the most valuable courses ever placed
in our schools. Next Wednesday aft
ernoon and all day Thursday an exhi-
bition of the domestic arts and manual
training work will be displayed at the
high school building. The public is
invited.

the present popular headgear. Miss
Florence Davis captured the prize in
this contest by her creation, a west

also book. Molding animals out of
