Mythical Colorado Town.

A certain wellknown theatrical
manager had company in the West
that had an open week, and as the
manager didn't wish to lay the com
pany off for the entire week he wired
the manager of a Denver theater to
secure him some dates in neighbor-
ing towns. The Denver manager wired
back a list of open dates, among
which were these: Cripple Creek.
March >, lay off third; Fort Collins,
fourth. The telegraph operator
mixed the two words, lay off and
spelled it "Layhoff The New York
manager, as soon as he received the
wire took out map of Colorado and
began to figure on tho railroad move
ments He could not find the town
"Layhoff" He consulted time tables,
larger maps. and even called upon
his friends to see If they knew OF the
town They all professed ignorance,
so at last he wired back. How will

ger received the telegram and, as by
some providence the two words we're
separated and spelled correctly he
wired back: II think you will find
many of them expensive"

HERE is GOOD NEWS
FOR STOMACH VICTIMS

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleans
ing, soothing and purifying action
upon the lower bowels, removing the
distractions of poisonous fecal mat
ter and gases and preventing their
absorption by the blood. This done,
the food is allowed free passage from
the stomach, fermentation ceases and
stomach troubles quickly disappear
George II. Mayr, for twenty years
leading Chicago druggist, cured
himself and many of his friends of
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles
of years standing by this treatment,
and so successful was the remedy he
devised that it has been placed in
the hands of druggists all over the
country who have sold thousands of
bottles.
Though absolutely harmless. the eff
feet of the medicine is sufficient to
convince any one of its remarkable
effectiveness, and within "a hours the
sufferer feels like a new person.
Mayrs Wonderful Remedy is sold by
leading druggists everywhere with

which, while not irreparable, is likely
to have a marked effect on the whole

DISCUSS U. S. PROTEST
Every Member OF British Cabinet
Present When Sir Edward Grey
Calls Up American Note.

London.-Foreign Secretary Grey
returned to London from the country
Wednesday. His coming was followed
in the afternoon by meeting of the
cabinet at which, before full muster
of his majesty's ministers. there was
discussed the protest of the United
States government concerning the re-
strictions on American commerce.
The note of the American govern
ment has just reached the British gov
eminent and is likely to occupy the
attention of the ministry for a con-
siderable time. In the meantime it is
understood that Walter Fl. Page, the
American ambassador, will be invited
to go over the entire question with
Foreign Secretary Grey.
The Washington communication to
the British government holds the first
place, not only in the news and ed1-
torial columns of the newspapers, but
wherever the war and its attendant
notifications are discussed. 1t is con-
tended everywhere that mutual good
will surely will bridge this difficult
problem and obviate further irritation.
I'VE have no right to feel aggrieved
because of the American endeavors to
mitigate the losses which the war in
flicts on the merchants and manufac-
turers of that country" says the West
minister Gazette. This newspaper,
more than any other, reflects the
views of the government. 1t contends
that it is to the interests of neutrals,
as well as belligerents, to shorten the
war, and that therefore neutrals should
submit to any reasonable restrictions
which are likely to have this effect
British shipowners, who are almost
as greatly concerned over the situa-
tion as the American shippers, ex-
pressed the opinion that the matter
would be amicably settled
