SUMMER THIS SUMMER
IN COLORADO
Many people put aside all thought of an outing in Colorado
because they are accustomed to consider this greatest ot
American play grounds as one of those impossiple things
beyond their means. Time was when a trip to the "top ot
the Continent” was a great luxury, as high in price as in
altitude, but not so today.
You can spend the Summer or part of the
' Summer in Colorado and live as reasonably
as you do at home, and the quick service ;
and low tourist and excursion rates afforded
via Rock Island lines bring the Rockies
within your easy reach.

LESSONS FROM THE FROG.
Swtiunier* Can Get Valuable Point
er* by Studying Creature’*
Method*
“Those who want to become expert
swimmers will do well to go to the
nearest brook or swamp and study the
manner and method of the frog,” re
marked a teacher of swimming in one
of the natatoriums in the city. “The
most, expert swimmers in the world
are tyros compared with the laziest
bullfrogs. The difficulty with ail
swimmers is that they spoil the effect
of the stroke by the recovery. When
a frog starts oil' he draws his legs care
fully and slowly up under him until
he is in The position of a man sitting
on his haunches. Then he suddenly
gives a mighty spring in the wafer,
kicking his legs out, not behind him,
but almost directly sidewise. After
the kick his legs arc slowly drawn to
gether by his motion through the wa
ter until they hang out behind him ir
a perfectly rigid form. Every too of
his web feet is held out as straight as
an arrow and then nothing retards his
mo'ion through the water. He will li<
in tnis position until every bit of the
momentum is lost— that is, until helms
gone as far as the force of his kick will
s-‘inl him through Tire water. Then
again he slowly and carefully draws
ids leg's in and repeats the perform
ance. \ uu will notice tha’ in drawing
■ h" legs up to his body for a second
kick the frog recedes a little. This

on the water, amt it corresponds ex
actly with the similar movement on
the part of a man. The first tiling a
frog does is to give his body a good
start through the water, and he holds
himself in such a way that he gets the
whole value of the stroke. A man
starts out with just such a kick, but
after he has gone two or three feet he
wili began to swing- his hands forward
or draw up his legs in such fashion
that tin»y offset the whole value of his
work. He stops his own body half
way before the effect of t he st roke lias
spent itself.”—C liicugo C hronicle.

It was the morning after their ar

"I have often heard of the roar of
the ocean,” she said, dreamily, ‘“but I
never knew it sounded like that.”
"That's not the roar of the ocean,"
answered her more experienced hus
band; "that's the roar of a departing
guest who lias jus? been presented with

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than aii
other diseases put together, and
until tne last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro
nounced it a locai disease and
prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. -J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo.
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts direct

Nervous
Worn-Out
If you are in this condition,
, your nerve force is weak—the
j power is giving out, the or
gans of your body have
"slowed up," and do their work
1 imperfectly. This failure to
j do the work required, clogs
i the system and brings distress
| am! disease. When the nerves
| are weak the heart is unable
| to force the life-giving blood
! through your veins; the stom
! rich fails to digest food; the
kidneys lack power to filter
| impurities from the blood, and
! the poisonous waste remains in
the system to bree! disease.
I Nerve energy must be restored.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine will do it,
because it strengthens the
! nerves; it is a nerve medicine
' and tonic, that rebuilds the
entire nervous system.
“Several years ago I was .>11 broken
! down. I was nervous, worn-out, could
| nor. sleep, and was in constant pain.
I doctored for months, and finally the
doctor said be could do nothing for ■
1 me. I began taking I)r. Miles’
Marvin*;, and used a'together eight
bottles, anil [ became strong and
healthy, and now weigh 170 pounds." Y "

druggist, who w.ll guarantee that the
first bottle will benefit. If it fails, he
