Nertk-WmMra tin© and Unlea Pnrlflo t» Put on New Train Oe««ulMr IT. FIRE AT LONG LAKE. ' BeKinninjf Sunday, December 17th, a st»lid through train from Chicago to Los ! Angeles will be placed in service over The Chicago Union Pacific & North­ western .Line and - the newly opened Salt Lake R<«nte(S. P., L. A & S. L. R. R.) The train will be electric lighted thronghout. The rchednle time of the' new train will be sixty-eight hoars, leaving Wells street station, Chicago, every day in the year, at 6:00 p. m , and arriving at Los Aegel«s at 12:45 noon the third day. The equipment is new from the Pall- man shops. " r The electric lighting of the cars in elude berth reading lamps of the most modern design, conveniently placed in each drawing room and section in the sleeping cars* The composite-observa­ tion car and dining Car is brilliantly lighted, with both center and side lamps. The equipment includes one 14 section and drawing room Pulluiau standard sleeping car, one 12 section and drawing room Pullman staudard sleeping car. one Pullman tourist sleeping car, and a coinposite-obseryatidn car, with bnffet- smoking room and Booklovers' Library, through to. Los Angeles without change. All meals ito dining car,' a 1ft carte service. • >•. The architecture aiid interior finish of ekeu car preseuta an uuuxual richness of effect. The interior decorations are in green and gold, the upholstery is in olive green plush; the woodwork in ver­ milion mahogany. The dining cars are 6f" the latest de­ sign and their equipment is most com­ plete. The best of chefs, skilled stew­ ards, experienced waiters, and a menu of the highest character, combine to cater satisfaction to the most exacting taste Every provision has be>n made for the greatest degree of comfort and con­ venience for all classes of travel. The route of the new train is.over the only doublet-rack railway between Chi­ cago and Missouri river, thru Council Bluffs, Omaha and Cheyenne to Ogden and Salt Lake City, and directly across southwestern Utah and southern Nevada into the fruit region of California, pars­ ing through San Bernadino, Riverside and Pomona to Los Angeles. This is a new and desirable routing, and secures to the traveler the, advantages of the best that can be produced-in railway travel over the pioneer line from Chica go and the enjoyment of new scenes and excellent train service over the new Salt Lake road. Many travelers to southern California will doubtless avail themselves of this routing one way, returning through tl;e San Joaquin Valley or up the Coast Line of the southern Pacific to San Francispo, and thence east on the Overland Li03' ited. Round trip tourist tickets provide for this variable routing, and also for stopovers at Salt Lake City and at vari­ ous California poitfts without any extra charge. The sleeping car diagrams for the new trains are now open to the public for reservation of space. Mlllloiiali-ft'tt Poor fttnmaeh. The worn-out stomach of the over-fed millionaire is often paraded in the pub­ lic print as a horrible example of the evils attendant on the possession of great wealth. But millionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs. The proportion is far great­ er among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indigestion are rampant among these people, and they suffer far wortfe tort­ ures than the millionaire unless they avail themselves of a standard medicine like Green's August Flower, which has been a favorite household remedy for b11 stomach troubles for over thirty-five y.-'ars. August Flower rouses the tor­ pid liver, thns creating appetite and in­ suring perfect digestion. It tones and- vitalizes the entire system and makes life worth living, no matter what your station.
