This is primarily an **advertising page** with one small cartoon. The main content promotes Union Pacific trains to Colorado, emphasizing the region's health benefits—altitude, dry air, ozone-filled atmosphere, and sunshine—typical 1910s-era wellness tourism marketing. The cartoon titled "Slightly Mixed" depicts two women in conversation. Mrs. D. Vorcee laments being haunted by her past; Mrs. Oldum advises her to forget it and focus on the present and future instead. The joke appears to be wordplay: "D. Vorcee" likely suggests "Divorce," and "Oldum" suggests "Old 'um," implying Mrs. Oldum is offering worldly advice from experience. The cartoon satirizes how people—particularly women dealing with divorce or relationship troubles—struggle to move forward emotionally. The remainder consists of period advertisements for Cluett dress shirts, Knox hats, Knapp-Felt hats, and Old Crow Rye whiskey.

In Colorado all the conditions of health are met. There is a sufficient altitude to cause lung and chest development, there is the dry exhilarating Rocky Mountain air, with an almost entire absence of malaria; there is the tonic effect of a bracing climate without its rig- ors; an atmosphere filled with ozone; cool nights in summer, a bright sunny day almost every day in the year, constantly stimulating both mind and body. The popular route to COLORADO is via UNION PACIFIC FAST TRAINS. LOW RATES. Be sure your tickets read over this line. Inquire of E.L. LOMAX, C. P. A. Omaha, Neb.
