No other country south of the Rio

roads. Prior to the Madero revolution
1t had 10000 miles of up-to-date Ameri
can railroad. which carried II, 100000
passengers annually and handled
about 1000. 900 tons of freight Their
total revenues amounted to about $40.-

Mexico produces one-third OF the

country's mineral production, exclu

famous iron mountain at Durango is
estimated to contain 500 million tons
OF iron ore, which is worth seven times

MAKES BAcKACHE
QUICKLY DISAPPEAR
A Few Doses Relieves All Such
Miseries. Bladder Weakness, Kid
ney Trouble and Rheum atsm
Promptly Vanish.

It is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backaching, kid
ney trouble have disagreeable blad-
der and urinary disorders to contend
with, or be tortured with rheuma-
t.sm, stiff joints, and its heart
wrenching pains, for the new discov-
cry, Croxone, quickly and surely re-
lieves all such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for Kidding the
system OF uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. 1t is entirely
different from all other remedies. 1t
is not like anything else ever used
for the purpose. 1t acts on the prin-
ciple of cleaning out the poisons and
removing the cause.
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, like water in
a sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and
makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away, all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood, and leaves the kid
neys and urinary organs clean,
strong, healthy and well.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
you have used, the very principle of
Croxone is such, that 1t is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. There is
nothing else on earth like it. 1t
starts to work the minute you take it
and relieves you the first time you
use 1t.
If you suffer with pains in your
hack and sides, or have any signs of
kidney, bladder troubles, or rheuma-
tism, such as puffy swellings under
the eyes or in the feet and ankles, If
you are nervous, tired, and run down,
or bothered with urinary disorders,
Croxone will quickly relieve you Of
your misery. You can secure an orig
inal package of Croxone at trifling
cost from any first-class druggist
All druggists are authorized to per-
sonally return the purchase price If 1t
fails in a single case.--Adv.

Willie Kramer and Harry Smith were
having their succession of killing
sprints. it was plain that the great
Finn was not at his best. He per-

some three-mile record on that track

Relay races are CANDLES. They may
