The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the 0nlv sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood,
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.

On assembling, Mr., Byron p. Rugclcs
spoke in relation to coniining stock in the
stable: would not conline with stanchions.

stable and bed freely. In this way the
COWS keep clean and do not rob each other
of feed. Would prefer to keep cows in
the stable all the time if it wers not nee.
essary to turn out for water; but for
growing stock perhaps this plan would not
be desirable. Salt freely, and occasionally
feed bore meal. Would have tho stalls
six o. seven feet wide.
Mr.. Davis, of the board, prefers stan.
chions for cows every way. Would keep
cows in the stable, allowing them only to

Compensation.

Suppose we would ask our Leg
islature to enact a law to prohibit
the sale of adulterated drugs and
when the bill was before the house
"rider" was put on to compensate
druggists for such drugs, how would
this look in the eyes of honest peo-
pie? Well, that is just what was
done with the prohibition bill.
Adulterated drugs do not the 1.-THE
of injury that whisky does and
moreover liquors are alike impure
and to pay dealers in them is un-
just as much as paying for impure
drugs. Both liquor and drug men
deserve the con6scation Of such
properties and punishment besides.

Wyoming Women.

Concerning the operation of wo-
man suffrage in Wyoming Terrific
ry, the Laramie Sentinel says:
"a smaller percentage of women
than of men stay away from the
polls; they are less persistent Of
fce-seekers than the men, but when
elected to office they have in every
case done their duty satisfactorily ;
they are accorded entire liberty of
action, frequently wife votes in
opposition to her husband, and it
has even happened that wives have
worked and voted for ticket when
their husbands were candidates on
the other"

The Cup.

He who takes the intoxicating
cup, consents 20 be for an hour a
maniac, brute or devil, as the case
may oe, And in that one hour a
busy devil can lay out work for
him that will last him all his life.
For one hour he gives up the helm
of the vessel to maddened fool,
and finds, as his reward, his noble
ship swallowed up by the hungry
waves, and his costly cargo scattered
along the rock bound shores.

In MeInOriam.

Our kind friend and neighbor,
David Johnson was a faithful Sol
dier of the Cross. He was in every
way true and noble man and no
idler in the vineyard.
While in the faithful discharge
of the duties of life, came the sud-
den decree of an all-wise Provi-
dence that loosed the silver cord
and shattered the golden bowl.
He has entered into rest,
With the ransomed and the blest,
In the "Sweet Bye and Bye"
Where no tears bedim the eye.
He needs no more the stormy blast;
His race is run, his struggles past!
Rest thee in peace, thou noble one
The battles fought-the victory won.
And would we call him back again,
To battle on with Sin and Pain?
No; not for many worlds like this,
Would we call him from tn world of bliss.
Up there wen join the ransomed throng,
And hear his voice in world of song

The Literature Committee of the Good
Templars have just issued new book with
the above title, which should be in the hands
of every man and woman.
1t contains seven great speeches by Hon.
John B. Finch, made in Iowa, Kansas and
Wisconsin campaigns. Every argument of
the liquor dealers is taken up and answered.
A great speech by Hon. o. P. Mason, ex-
Chief Justice of Nebraska, "Are Liquor Deal
ers entitled to indemnity for property injur-
ed by Prohibition"
A great speech by Hon. Albert Horton,
Chief Justice of Kansas, Loyalty to Law"
These speeches were made in the great bat
ties which have shaken the continent and
meet the real arguments of desperate traffic
No such book was ever before offered the
workers. Every prohibitionist should get
one for himself and his neighbor.
In the great battle to be fought in the next
few years, every man should have these
facts.
The book is printed on fine paper, bound
in cloth, contains 800 pages, and a fine steel
engraving of Mr.. Finch. Price, one dollar.
Send on your money, and if you are not
satisfied after examining book, money will
be REFUNDED.

full educational influence in behalf
of total abstinence.

men of the neighborhood. To Sc
cure such, we offer to all who join
us, the additional inducement of
membership in the Sons of Tenn
.perance National Mutual Relief
Society, which gives an insur-
ance of one, two or three thousand
dollars.
This Relief Society is a success,
and it's insurance is cheap, prompt,
and equitable.
The organizer will give any in
formation that may be desired, re-
Iative to its plan of work, and ev-
cry charter member is invited to
unite with the Relief Society.
Our insurance is cheaper than
is furnished by any Mutual Relief
Society not based on total abstin-
ence.
AS our object is to popularize the
cause of temperance and strength
en- the Order of Sons of Temper
ance, our admission fee is made
very small.
The Society has two classes. In
Glass B the insurance is 81 ,OOO' or
one dollar for each member until

sacred mementoes to the place named

thinks of leaving it without going

gard enough for the Smithsonian In

Besides, any one who has visited this

ton cannot but remember how impos-
sible it is for the stranger to withstand
the cajoling of the urbane gentleman
at the door, whose every smile is a
magnet that draws your last buzzard

change for an execrably written book
upon birds and how to stuff them,
which suggests no improvement upon
the way our mothers performed the

Some old specimens of Royal Baking
Powder that had been kept on the shelf OF
q grocery store for ten years were recent.
ly tested by Prof. Schneider of New York,
for the purpose of measuring the loss OF
strength they had undergone. 1t was
found that, although the powder had been
exposed to atmospheric changes during
all this time-for it was not in alright
cans--its loss of raising power or strength
WAS less than one per cent, The powder
being practically as good as the day it
was put up.
This is most valuable quality in q
baking powder, one which few possess.
Most powders II not used when first made
are found to be ineffective. If kept even
