A wedding of interest to Crested
Butte folks was that of Mr.. Herman
Hutterman of Bisbee. Arizona, and
Miss Gladys Fitzpatrick, OF Crested
Butte, which took place in Pueblo, on
Thursday March 25, at the home OF
Mrs. Henry Hutterman, sister Of the
groom. Only members of the family
were present. Immediately after the
ceremony the couple left for Trinidad
and albuquerque. New Mexico. to
visit relatives for a few days, before
going on to their future home at
Bisbee.
The romance dates back to high
school days when Miss Fitzpatrick was
attending Trinidad High and Mr.. Hut
terman passed through that city en-
route to New York where he sailed
for France, serving two years as a
first class fireman on large U. S.
battleship.
Miss Fitzpatrick, or "Gladys," as we
all know her, is the only daughter OF
MIR. and Mrs. Robert Fitzpatrick and
was born and reared in Crested Butte,
She may be truly called one of Crest
ed Butte's own Until March l, OF
this year, she was clerk at the post
office and was well liked by all who
knew her.
Mr.. Hutterman has resided In Bis
bee for number of years and is well
known in that city.

in wishing them success.

A Lucky Discovery

Two women of tho paryenue class
were discussing the future OF their
respective sons, when one of them
said:
"Do you know, I believe that a boys
development depends largely upon his
environment"
II know it, replied the other, as
she carelessly toyed with her jewel
box. 'There was my cousin Williams
boy-he never knew what it was to
have well day till the doctor found
out the trouble was with his environ
ment and cut it out. t."-Harpers.

in Cliff Palace and twenty-five under.
ground rooms, in which the people as.
sembled for worship. Cliff Palace Is
a sort Of community house in which
all the families Of one clan lived
Each family had its hva, or chamber
for worship; from this we might
infer that there were twenty-five
families in Cliff Palace. The most
striking feature of this communal
palace is the round tower which
stands in the center Of the ru-
ins. This was probably used as a
watch tower. The rooms are small,
and the door so low that in order to
enter one must crawl on hands and
knees. These rooms have been ce-
mented many times; in ono kiva are
found sixteen different coats Of ce-
ment. In addition to the great round
tower there arc at least twenty round
and square towers. Ample room for
the Imagination! we can but guess at
their use. The wallis Of tho rooms
are from twelve to fifteen inchss
thick and are Of sandstone cunningly
camoufiaged to initiate the cliffs
themselves. 1t IL possible to travel
up and down, the canon without de-
tsctina them
Although Cliff Palace IS the largest
ruin, there are many smaller DWELL
ings, around which centers an equal
interest. There is Balcony House.
which is the most interesting Of all.
The trail to Balcony House leads up
the side Of some smooth boulders, In
which The Cliff Dwsllers have cut
small steps. Up these ono climbs
making equal use Of hands and feet,
finally succeeding in getting over this
dangerous part Of the trail. Next
one encounters ladder. up which it
is necessary to climb for many feet
before finally reaching tho dwelling,
Balcony House is tho best preserved
of all the ruins, because it is the most
sheltered. A stone wall about two
feet high rims the edge Of the cave
in which the building stands. Several
balconies on different parts Of tho
house give the place its name. From
Balcony House one may look toward
smaller houses and storerooms on the
opposite side Of the canon, as yet alb
solutely unvisited by white men.
What treasures they may hold!
Peabody House, SO named IN honor
of Mrs. Peabody, who was instrumen-
tai, in 1906, in making the Mesa Verde
a, National Park, is but a short dis
lance from here. Its outstanding fea-
ture is great square tower. The
trail leading to it is even more peril
Gus than the one to the Balcony
House, as it circles the face of boul-
der which projects over the precipi-
tous canon.
Another interesting house in the
Park is Spruce Tree House. This
dwelling takes its name from great
spruce tree which has grown up In
the midst of the ruins. 1t contains
something over 200 rooms, many OF
them in a state Of perfect preserva-
ton
Spruce Tree Camp is on the oppo-
site siCse of the canon. This camp is
taken care OF by guide; here one
may rent tents and secure meals at

FOR SUMMER COMPLAINTS

Fortunately for babies and small chill
dren this summer has been exception
ally cool, and the perils of those dam
gerous diseases to which children are
especially liable, the so-called "summer
complaints" have been much lessened.
But hot, muggy days will follow, and
parents Of little ones should watch with
the greatest care all stomach or bowel
troubles which are the chief cause of
the high infant mortality.
The ''summer peak" Of infant deaths
is, Just beginning. The U. S. Children g
Bureau have been conducting q series
of studies in six industrial cities, and
report that in Manchester, N. H., GO
per cent. Of all infants born alive died
from these gastro-intestinal diseases,
especially in the month Of August.
Fermentation, chiefly in the intes-
tines. is the cause Of these deadly,
bowel troubles of second year babies
and small children. This fermentation
produces certain highly poisonous com
pounds called toxins which quickly
cause great weakness and emaciation
followed often by death.
Fortunately, thanks to the great dis
covery by Metchnikoff, q wonderful
remedy has been found for these ex-
tremefy dangerous summer com
plaints'' Of children. That remedy il
the substitution of q harmless tactic
acid fermentation for the deadly, poi.
sonous fermentation.
Messrs. Hynson, Westcott and Dunn
ing manufacturing pharmaceutical chem
lists, of Baltimore, make the best Of
these Tactic acid preparations. Thei,
''Bulgara Tablets, made from the lac
tic acid of Bulgarian sour milk, which
has been found to be the strongest, act
like magic when given to children sui
fering from these bowel complaints.
The doctors in Philadelphia and other
cities are loud ii praises Of their. prompt
and truly wonderful effects, that in q
few days bring dying child back t.
counplefe health. A trial OF these tab.
le}s 81 anyone. childsor adult. suffering
frnm intestind complaints. will soon
eonvince tho user Cf the marvellous eef-
6eieocY Of the 'sBulgata Tablets."
