Rid Your Children of Worms
You can change fretful, ill-tempered

worms, regulates the bowels, restores
your children to health and happiness.

Mrs. O. M Royster and Miss Ada
S?henck arrived July 19 at Delta, Col.,
on a visit to Mr. Herbert Chase, form
erly of Hickory. As their many friends
will be gLd to hear from them, we
qaote from an interesting letter which
Mrs. N. W. Clarke has recently receiv
ed from Mrs. Royster:
"We were four days and four nights
on the way. One night we spent at
Salida so as to nuke the trip over Mar
shall Pass by daylight. We had a fine
trip all the way out and met very pleas
ant people from all parts of the globe.
When we said we were from N. C. they
looked at us as if they thought We were
strange animals! Coming through Kan
sas was like coming tbrpugh a fiery fur
nace, the hottest wintf 1 ever felt. The
mercnry was 105 in the coolest place
in the car, everything was hot to the
touch, and we felt parched. At Kan
sas City the altitude was 700 ft . temp
100°; at Denver alt. 5000 ft.. 70°; Sa
lida is 7000 ft., 60°; Marshall Pass, the
highest point, 10.855 ft. mercury down
to freezing, had snowed the day before
and we could see patches of snow in
several places on the mountains.
Delta is a small place, about 3000,
altitude 4000 ft. The sun is very hot,
but the nights are cold, last night it
dropped to 60°, mountains in sight. It
is a peculiar looking country. The
mesas or table-lands look like old forti
fications one behind another. Very
few tiees, and they depend on irrigation
entirely. This makes the mosquitoes
bad, the piazzas are all screened. Mr,
Chase told us it was very dry and dusty
here and rarely ever rained, but Friday
they had a real cloud burst and rain for
two days, and when we got here there
was a regular flood. Our train was de
layed by a washout, we came to a dead
stop, the creek was rushing over the
track. There was too much water to
go through the culvert, and the track
was covered with rocks and mud. The
section bands struck and we were de
layed* few hours. I've never seen
Such angry looking water, it was like
liquid mud and carried everything be
fore it. The nud here is like putty.
"Mrs. Chase and Edwin, their ten
year-old son, met us at the station. In
their beautiful and convenient home,
they have a Jap boy for servant and he
is a treasure. He does everything, is
a fine cook, serves the meals beautiful
ly, hi* kitchen is spotless, he cleans
the house, does the laundry and keeps
up the lawns.
'We are having the most delicious
raspberries and vegetables of all kinds.
* 4 I wish I could write you a descrip
tion of the Royal Gorge and the canon;
it was grand. We followed the Arkan
sas River almost to its source between
mountains, one and two thousand feet.
These mountains are mostly rock, but
the coloring is wonderful; there are
few trees on them i»nd they are very
scrubby ones. On this side of Mar
shall Pass we come down the Gunnison
River and the scenery is giand and
such a variety of flowers, just like a
large flower garden, it was beautiful.
.When I came this way before every
thing was white with snow.
"It tires me to write and I don't
know when I can write to anyone else,
so please you tell my friends."
A Good Investment
W, D. Magli, a well known mer
chant of Whitemound, Wis. bought a
stock of Chamberlain's medicine so
as to be able to supply them to his
customers. After receiving them he
was himself taken sick and says that
one small bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was worth mor- to him than the cost
of his entire stock of these medicines.

Surprising Cure of Stomach
Trouble.
When you have trouble with your
stomach or chronic constipation, don't
imagine that your case is beyond help
just because your doctor fails to give
you relief. Mrs. G. Stengle, Plain
field, N J., writes, "For over a month
past I have been troubled with my
stomach. Everything I ate upset it
terribly. One of Chamberlain r s ad
vertising booklets came to me. After
reading a few of the letters from people
who had been cured by Chamberlain's
j Tablets, I decided to try them. I
have taken nearly three fourths of a
package of ihem and can now eat al
most everything that I want.'* For
