There are two rona, either one of
which ought to be conclusive with
every American citizen.
First: The trip from Denver to Utah
via Rio Grande Western, "Gnat Salt
Lake Route," la the grandest to be
found anywhere on the continent. No
European trip of equal lengtn can com
pare with it In variety and grandeur of
acenery and wealth of novel intereat.
(Second: You should go because, when
you have made this wonderful trip, you
will find Utah at the end of It-Utah,
one of the world's famous spots, and a
land of gold, silver, copper, iron and
coal; of lofty mountains and fertile val
leys; of vineyards, fruits and flowers.
Salt Lake City, the capital, Is of great
Interest on account of Its historical and
religious association. Here are Ilot
Thermal Springs, Warm Springs, Sul
phur Springs, Sanitarium, Parks,
Drives, Canyons and the most health'
ful climate on earth. Great Salt Lake,

no equal in America. Write to P. A

CTA1I THE 45TU STATE.
The Homeseeker'g Promised Land.
The territory of Utah entered the
Union of States on January 4th, 1896,
with a population of about 200,000 peo
ple and a climate unsurpassed in the
wide world. It Is richer in agricul
tural resources than any other state.
It has within Its borders nearly all of
the known minerals and metals gold,
silver, copper, Iron, tin, etc., In abun
dant quantities. It has, best of all, a
health-giving climate, always temper
ate In summer and in winter. It has
hot sulphur springs, and is In fact one
large sanitarium. Utah is the ideal
place to build a home in which to
spend the balance of your days, sur
rounded by farm and orchard which
guarantee all the necessities and most
of the comforts of life. There are mil
lions of such homes now awaiting set
tlement. Send to F. A. Wadlelgh,
Salt Lake City, for copies of Utah
pamphlets. It will pay you to post
yourself on the merits of the new state,
which has been amply termed "The
Promised Land."
What C. A. Potter Says.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 31, 1895. The
Howard Medicine Company. Gentle
men: I desire to sav to all who feel the
strength of their manhood slowly slip
ping away, whose ambition is at its
-
lowest ebb, whose mind is beclouded,
and the senses dulled, when you feel
dyspeptic, and lose your self-respect,
that your blood Is out of order, and all
you need Is some of Howard's Vegetone
Blood Powder to tone up your system.
rill act almost instantly upon the
blood; you will feel the renewed life
and vigor coursing through your sys
tem; you will feel the old-time grip in
your hands; your mind will be as active
as ever; your friends will observe the
flag of health flying in your face, and
you will feel like a new being. I have
not felt so well for five years as I do
since taking one package of your Blood
Powder, and I feel as strong and active
as ever. I weigh 15 pounds more than
ever in my life. The change is so
marked that it is the subject of com
ment when meeting my friends. I
recommend Howard's Vegetone Blood
Powder to be, as I believe, the greatest
blood-purifier on earth.

how to test a diamond.
A Urlad.ton. Mioai4 Maku No Impraa-
toa Ca It.
The safest way to determine tb
genuineness of a diamond is to teat it
hardness. The simplest test Is to hol.l
(he stone firmly against a wet, rapldb
revolving frrindstoiie from five to ten
minutes. If the least mark appears up
on the piece It Is not a diamond, for I:
u were a diamond, so far from an
mark being produced on it. it wouli
be likely, on the other hand, to mak
a deep Impression in the grind stone
The same test may he made witr
emery paper, or an emery wheel
neither of which, although harder lha'
a grlndBtone, will make any impresslo:
upon a diamond.
lois is a good tuing for one to re
member in these days of manufacture'
diamonds. The paste article Is mad
with such care that it sometimes test
the skill of the expert to diBtinguls
the genuine from the bogus, but If th
grindstone is brought Into play ther
can be no room for doubt. Some peo
pie think that if they rub a Eton
against glass and It makes a deep In'
pression it is a diamond. Some past
articles will scratch glass and the Imt
tatlon of sapphires, rubles and emer
aids will do the same.
Regarding the hardness of diamond?
an expert says: " in 1S86 I made a'
experiment. The stone here waa i
round piece of Brazilian bort, with
radiated internal structure. It wa
kept on a polishing wheel made of han:
lion with a diameter of one foot, fo
seven and one-half hours a day for nln
months, the wheel turning at the rati
of 2,500 to 3,000 revolutions per minute
and giving three feet of traveling but
face to the stone. The total distance
traversed was 170,000 miles, or abou
seven times the circumference of thr
globe, but the result was the polishing
of only about one square centimete:
of surface. With an ordinary diamon
fully a hundred times as much would
have been accomplished."
So If a man wants to sell a real dia
mond, and he knows that it is a gen
uine, he will not be afraid to test it on
a grindstone. Los Angeles Herald.
