There are two reasons, either one of
which ought to bo conclusive with
every American citizen.
First: The trip from Denver to Utah
via Ulo Grande Western, "Great Salt
Lake Route," Is 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
scenery and wealth of novel Interest.
Second: You should go because, when
you have made this wonderful trip, you
will find Utah at the end of iV-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 associations. Here are Hot
Thermal Springs, (Warm SpringsSul-
phur Springs, Sanitarium, Parks,
Drives, Canyons and the most health
ful climate on earth. Great Salt Lake,
1th the new and beautiful Saltalr
Beach Resort, of Moorish design, has

What C A Potter Says.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 31, 1895. The
Howard Medicine Company. Gentle
men: I desire to say to all who feel the
strength of their manhood slowly slip
ping away, whoso 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
It will 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. 1
recommend Howard's Vegetone Blood
Powder to be, as I believe, the greatest
blood-purifier on earth.

The Wonderful Maple of Ratlbos.
In the town of Ratlbor, Prussia,
stands one of the most wonderful trees
In the world. It is not of gigantic sice
or the only representative of a speoiee
in which all the members except Itself
are extinct It Is a common maple
which shows a wonderful combination
of nature and man's patience and In
genuity. The tree is only a few years
over a century old, and during Its en
tire life every limb and twig has been
patiently trained by its owners.. At
present It looks like a living pagoda,
the branches being so trimmed as to
make it appear like a round tower
with two stories. Each of these com
partments Is lighted by a series of
eight windows, and the two "rooms"
will each hold a dozen persons. The
floors as well as the sides of these won
derful rooms are constructed of bought
which are eo skillfully woven together
that the whole has the appearance of
being some gigantic imitative freak of
nature. St Louis Republic
Tough Treatment

She laid her head on his manly bo

of organic lesion. There Is a slight
palpitation, due, perhaps, to cigarettes.
That is all." And now the young man
swears that hereafter when he makes
love to a girl at a summer resort he
will be sure she is not a medical atn
