PURIFY YOUR Hood.

Among Spring preparations, do not neg
lect that which is most important of all
your own body. During the Winter the
blood absorbs many impurities, which, il
not expelled, are liable to break out in
scrofula or other disease. The best Spring
medicine is .ood's Sarsaparilla. 1t expels
every impurity from the blood and gives
strength to every function of the body,

Potato Bugs as "a Halt for Trout

The Williamsport Bulletin says; Consta-
BILE Andrew Cassidy returned from sue
cessful trout fishing expedition in Gamble
township last week. When spoken to in
regard to his success the genial officer
stated that the secrect of it all was in the
kind of bait used - potato bugs. Red
worms were first tried, but as the fish did
not seem to have any particular appetite
for that kind of food something more
tempting was looked for. A large potato
bug was observed crawling out Of his
hole, and he was quickly impaled on the
hook. In an instant bug and hook were
swallowed by huge trout. More bugs
weresecured, and in Il short time the con-
stable starred home with wel-filled
basket.

An exchange hits the nail on the head
In the following AFTER you get on your
ear and make up your mind to stop your
paper to make the editor feel humilated,
just poke your finger in water and pull it
out and look for the hole. Then you will
know how sadly you are missed The
man who thinks paper cannot survive
without his support ought to go off and
stay awhile. When he comes back he will
find half his friends didn't know he was
gone the other half didn't care a cent, and
the world at large didn't keep any account
OF his movements whatever. You prob
ably find some things in your home paper
you cannot endorse. Even the bible is
rather plain and hits some hard lcks. II
you Ncre to stop your paper and call the
editor all sorts of ugly names, the paper
would still be published. And what is
more, you will sneak around and borrow
a copy of it every day from your neighbor.
1t is better to keep your vest pulled down
and your subscription paid up"
