to swim is about the most essential part

able to, in preference to feeding the
fishes out in the bottom Of the quiet

out of several which I have had

not just fairly we'll, but well, the better
you can swim the longer you (and pos

confidence that the ability to swim
brings with 1t is alone worth the slight
effort that is expended in learning. So

A SQUARE MEAL
BEATS POETRY
To the Average Man Mater
ial Comforts Count
Most

For the average person, unblessed
with riches. it is the material COM
forts Of life that count. That 1--WE
want but little here below" is a tru-
ism, but to be without that little is
keenest hardship.
A good meal isn't poetical, but
the honest declaration, II can eat a
hearty meal without discomfort" has
a better sound to the average man
than the best line ever penned by
poet.
1t is after long loss that the ma
terial things, when won back, seem
so much better.
Of all the ailments that afflict hu-
manity, chronic dyspepsia probably
is the most common. Its causes and
characterizations are many. Skilled
specialists have been unable to cope
with this almost universal malady,
but mother Nature, in combination
with skill and chemistry, has com
pounded in her exhauStible laboratory
a marvellous remedy for this trouble.
The symptoms Of this common
disease, which is only forerunner of
more complicated maladies, are many.
Belching after meals, frequent nau-
sea, pains in the region of the stom-
ach, and tired feeling, are only a
few of the indications. DySpepticS
become listlesS, then morbid, are
melancholy over trivial things, have
whimsical ideas, besides physical suf-
fering, and with appetite gone, sleep
fitful, dizzy spells and frequent nau-
sea, life hardly seems worth living.
Tanlac was designed to check this
distressing condition, and to restore a
healthy, normal appetite. bring good,
restful sleep, and Danish that tired,
nervous feeling-in short, to restore
the stomach to the habit of doing a
full days work and doing it well.

FOR PROHIBITION NOW


 MT. Alexander Nesbit has been sher. TIT of Denver for 12 years-and he didn't vote for prohibition. Here are some of the many things he said about the good effects of the law in an in. terView published in the Pueblo Chief tain:
 The habitual loafer has disap- peared. The crowds that used to hang around the lower end of the city at free lunch counters have gone. Where, l haven't the least idea. Like last summers flies, they just disappeared. Again, the wine rooms are no more and the after the theater' dinners are over. There is no place to go except to the picture shows, and then for light lunch and then home, unless they go to the pool halls. You know 1t doesn't take long to get a lunch after the theater now. Few people say have another on glass of water. And the old slogan, Let's have an other is a misnomer in Denver. Neither do very many people say: Let's have another lunch and they get through and go home
 We haven't had a case of murder since the first of the year. Our sui cides are falling off to a great extent the mileage of the ambulance and pa trol wagon is less than 50 per cent of what 1t formerly was; our officers on the beats are treated more courteous ly; there Is a better air morally around the city; the places where crime was formerly matched are gone and the city is better off in every way so far as it's police department and their work is concerned.
 Let me tell you another thing, the can-rusher, the old soak who came home with quarter in his pocket and sent his eight-year-old, ragged, bare footed girl to the saloon for a can of beer and then tossed her a crust of bread while he swigged the beer and snarled at her through his drunken ness, Is no longer resident of Den- yer. You cant get a photograph of one of these fellows in the city"

WHO'LL GET THE MONEY?

The manufacture of lumber is an important industry in the state of state of Washington and the woods men used periodically to go into the towns and spend their wages In the saloons. Shortly before the prohibit tion law became operative a police captain inquired of one of these men his next visit.

 Focused and persistent endeavor has yet to face it's first failure.

 Where or what you start is a minor consideration, if it starts you; the pro- per amount of attention and intelli- gence will yield the same returns in a tive-cent store venture, a rolling mill. a clothing factory, a packing plant or a carpenter shop.
