। VERA CRUZ WORTH VISITING Mexican City Has a Number of Attractions That Invite the Wandering Tourist. Vera Cruz is a city of contrasts. Its 1 j vividly painted houses of red, blue and yellow, built close to the narrow ।• streets, have grated windows and heavy, forbidding doors, which give । little evidence of the charming interiors with their patios, palm-shaded, filled with exotic flowers and cooled by fountains. Modern street cars look out of place in the same streets with burros laden with merchandise, fruits and vegetables, and Caballeros in their broad sombreros, vividly colored blankets, enormous spurs and silver-mounted saddles. Even the tropical climate is in sharp contrast with the snowcapped, extinct volcano, Orizaba, which towers almost 20,000 feet into the cold air above. Although this peak is nearly fifty miles away from the city, it can be plainly seen from there and makes a beautiful picture standing white against the sky or catching all the colors of the sunrise. Another point of interest is the ancient fortress of San .Juan d’Ulloa, which Is built on an island, connected to the mainland at the northern end by a long sea wall. It has a fair exterior, being painted a pure and radiant white, hut hidden beneath this innocent mantle are dark and noisome ■ dungeons where many political prisI oners of Mexico have been kept for I years. । Turning hastily from this unpleas- ; ant scene, gentle reader, let us retrace 1 our steps to the center of the city, I which is marked by the plaza. This I Is a large and beautiful square filled H with palms and flowers, and watched : J over benignly by the ancient and 1 stately cathedral. Every evening durj ing the band concert it is the quaint । custom of the youths of Vera Cruz to promenade around the square on the I outside of the walk In one direction, I while the young girls, carefully watchI; ed over by their duennas, walk in the opposite direction on the inside. In this way most Mexican flirtations are I begun. : TAKE IT IN TIME 1 .Inst as Scores of Walkerton People j Have. 1 Waiting doesn’t pay. । If you neglect kidney backache.

DON’T BE CARELESS ; ABOUT YOUR HEALTH When the liver is not acting properly the system becomes full of poisonous accumulations, the kidneys and intestinal glands become sluggish and a general debilitated and nervous condition exists. The blood become impure, the circulation sluggish and the brain clouded. A neglected liver causes chronic constipation, jaundice, gall-stone and very c£teu cancer. Glando Tonic acts upon the whole glandular system of which the liver is the chief gland. If this glandular system is in good working condition disease has no chance to fasten itself upon you. The best khan to doctor is when you begin M feel tired, achy or languid. To neglect one’s self when ‘hat tired, draggy feeling is pres -nt may mean weeks of severe illness. Let Glando Tonic re’novc that feeling and give you life and health.
