offered us.
There are now ten old-line

business in the state, and we are

cations for any class of insurable
property, including farm houses
and barns.

! $300 FOR LETTERS
ABOUT THE SOUTHWEST.
i
The Western Trail magazine
offers six prizes aggregating in
value $300 in railroad transporta
tion for letters from residents of
Arkansas, East Colorado, Mis
souri, Kansas, Indian Territory,
Oklahoma, Texas and New Mex
ico.
It wants letters that will in
duce energetic and ambitious
j men and women to settle in the
great and growing Southwest
and there engage in farming,
cattle raising, dairying, fruit
growing and similar pursuits.
To accomplish the purpose
which it has in view, the West
ern Trail offers the following
prizes in railroad transportation
for the six letters which, in the
opinion of a competent judge,
shall be deemed best suited to
its requirements:
First prize, $100 in railroad
transportation.
Second prize, $75 in railroad
transportation.
Third prize, $50 in railroad
transportation.
Fourth prize, $25 in railroad
transportation.
Fifth prize, $25 in railroad
transportation.
Sixth prize, $25 in railroad
transportation.
THE CONDITIONS ARE EASY.
Letters should deal with the
writer’s experiences since he set
tled in the Southwest. They
should tell how much money he
had when he rrived, what he
did when he first came, what
measure of success has since
crowned his efforts and what he
thinks of that portion of country
! in which he is located.
} Letters should not be less than
300 nor more than 1,500 words in
length, and will be used for the
purpose of advertising the South
west. Letters are desired not
only from farmers and farmers’
wives, but also from merchants,
school teachers, clergymen; from
everyone who has a story to tell
and who knows how to tell it.
Poetical contributions are not
j wanted.
All cannot win prizes, but by
j their contributions they can as
i sist the Western Trail in its ef
forts to colonize and upbuild the
Southwest.
Contest closes June 30, 1905.
J Prizes will be awarded as soon
j thereafter as results can be de
i termined. Address the Western
: Trail, 736-744 Van Buren street,
i Chicago, 111.

Sick
Headache
When your head aches, there
is a storm in the nervous sys
tem, centering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss of
memory, inflammation, epi
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills.
They stop the pain by sooth
ing, strengthening and reliev
ing the tension upon the nerves
—not by paralyzing them, as
do most headache remedies.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills do
not contain opium, morphine,
chloral,cocaine or similar drugs.
"Sick headache Is hereditary in my
family. My father suffered a great
deal, and for many years I have had
spells that were so severe that X was
unable to attend to my business affairs
for a day or so at a time. During a
very severe attack of headache, I took
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills and they
relieved me almost immediately. Since
then X take them when I feel the spell
coming on and it stops it at once.’r
JOHN J. McERLAIN,
Pres. S. B. Eng. Co., South Bend, Ind.
Dr. Milas’ Antl-Paln Pills are sold by
your druggist, who will guarantee that
the first package will benefit. If it
fails he will return your money.
