Some idea OF the enormity OF the
task OF moving the great bodies OF
United States troops TO be raised may
be gained from the following fig
ures: s.22e cars are necessary to
transport an army OF 10000 men.
These cars should be made up into
3ss trains with as many locomo-
tiyes- There would have to be Ais
passenger coaches. 3s5 baggage.
1865 box. 1883 stock and 775 flat

the locomotives owned By American
railroads. ~ per cent OF their pas

Mrs. E p. Stephenson arrived
in La Junta last Thursday from Los
Angeles, Calf. where she has been
making her home with her grand
daughter during the past five years.
The grand daughter, formerly well
known In La Junta as Katie May
Hyde, died a few months ago, and
Mrs Stephenson was on her way to
Denver to make her home with her
daughter. Mrs. r. E. CHATTER. Dur
ing her stay in this city Mrs. Steph-
enson Was the guest OF Mrs. J. E.
Mcfarland. and on account OF the
excessive heat did not feel like leav-
ing the house. and therefore failed
to meet as many Of her La Junta
friends as she expected and hoped
to do. Mrs Stephenson was looking
unusually well. notwithstanding the
fact that she Is over eighty years
young. and as well and spry as many
women OF half her age. She left on
No. IL last Monday morning for
Denver. where she expects to live
for an Indefinite period with her
daughter.
Frank Wood, who lives In the dry
farming section about fifteen miles
southwest OF La Junta. has been de-
livering about 1909 pounds OF milk

the past week, on account OF the dry
weather, the output from the seventy
five COWS has fallen off about TWEEN
ty-fiye per cent. and unless there is
prolific shower In the near future
there is a prospect that the milk
output will be wiped out altogether.
Frank says the crops on his dry
farm look much better than they did
a year ago. which Is not saying
much. OF course. but II we have rs

ular eaters of meat must flush the kid

them like you relieve your bowels; re
moving all the acids, waste and poison,
else you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains Ill the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment; the channels often get irri-
tated, obliging you to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body S urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take tablespoon
| full in glass of water before break

disappear. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and ha'
been used for generations to clean anl

ceipts were on the liberal order for
a Frida y at the local market. some
35 ears, or 1000 head. as against

spending day a year ago.
Practically the entire receipts of
cattle were killers, with steers pre-
dominating. The market was slow
in rounding into shape and the un-
dertone was weak. Packers had
enough live cattle to keep killing
gangs busy the rest of the week and
for this reason did not have very
urgent orders 10 fill and what sales
were made were quoted as weak to a
dime lower.
Stockers formed only a very limit
ed portion of the run and the outlet
was Judged at about steady with the
previous day.
