the house of wood. or brick, or stone,
in which you live, but our bodily ten
ement may be in terrible danger from
smouldering fire which you make nc
effort to quench. The great danger
from impure blood is that it debilitates
the system, and the digestive organs
grow weak and inactive. Hoods Sar-
saparilla combines the best kidney and
liver invigorators, with the best alterat-
ives and tonics, all from the vegetable
kingdom, carefully and Understandings

blood and tones up the system, giving
the whole body vitality, and effectually
guarding it against the attacks of

NOTHING LIKE IT. No medicine
has ever been known so ettectual in the
cure of all those diseases arising from

IT is fitting that the pioneer Of low-prced
Journalism in the West should lead in placing the
American newspaper of to-day upon the basis Of
the lowest unit of American coinage. Twelve
years ago that unit was the nickel in Chicago and
throughout the Northwest The founding of THE
DAILY News at lower price was regarded by the
journalistic profession as inviting certain failure.
But they were wrong. To-day there is not a
nickel paper in Chicago, and the circulation Of
The DAILY News averages, as shown by its pub
lished sworn statements, $4,000 copies day
with single exception the largest daily circula-
ton in America and greater than the circula-
tons of all other Chicago dailies combined
The DAILY NEWS has prospered beyond the
most sanguine hopes of its founders. For this it
has more than once made its grateful acknowledge
ments to an appreciatve public 1t believes, how
ever, that the time has now come when, acting
entirely within the limits of wise commercial
progression, it can give its thanks more practical
expression 1t proposes henceforth to "divde {"
as to its friends-and to multiply as to its crcula-
ton. To-day it reduces its price to one CENT
and expects to double its circulation
And anticipating the questionings' of the
doubtful let it be briefly said that the thing can be
done. THE DAILY NEws-all that it has been in
the past, as well all that is rightly expected of
it in the future leader in progressive Ameri-
can journasm-can be produced and sold for
one cent a day. and this by reason Of those COM
mon principles of trade which make possible
lower prices just in proportion as the aggregate
volume of sales increases The DAILY News now
sells 07ey million papers a zOeek as shown by its
published sworn statements Of circulation and it
can afford to self at smaller profit per paper than
other Chicago dales, no one of which has as
much as one-third the average daily circulation

WI This BE a Hot Summerp

An Indiana Pharmacist predicts that
this will prove a hot summer upon the
following theory, which has been adj
vanced by others:
The weather seems to run in cycles
of about seven years; that is. when we
have a hot summer it is always fol-
lowed by a cold one, and it takes about
seven years to reach another equally
as hot Ii will be remembered by
many that the summer of 1867 was very
hot and SO dry that during August the
grass crumbled under the feet when
trod upon The summer of '68 was
noted for its GOODNESS, the thermome-
ter seldom getting above $50, and we
did not reach the top wave of Their
mality again until 1874, whom it was
extremely hot The following summer
was cold to remarkable degree.
From then on the summers grew grad
ually warmer until 81 which was ex-
cessively hot and very dry, no rain
falling for over nine weeks, and there
were more sunstFokes that SUNNI or
than there has been in all the summers
since. The summer of 1882 was quite
cold, few flakes of snow fell on the
morning of July 4, followed by hail
in the afternoon and during the rest
fla /
of August the temperature was SO low
that overcoats were necessarily for
comfort particularly at night. The
summers since 1882 have grown
warmer and warmer, and last summer
was moderately hot one, but unless
all signs fail, the cycle, and a hot, dry
season may be expected. --Mtlicaukee

NH/NNNNMNMI of its price from
~&esa auumBuassS~ ONE per copy

Of THE DAILY NEWS The large addition 10 its
present million-a-week circulation, which will
surely come with its reduction to enc cent a Gay,
will fully compensate for the reduced profit at
which each paper is sold. All this concerns the
reader only as assuring him that THE DAILY News
can reduce its price and at the same time maintain
its high character as the foremost newspaper of the
Northwest-that a mon-a-week circulation
makes the otherwise impossible entirely possible.
The present is peculiarly the time to naugu-
rate this popular departure in American Jour
nalism. The approaching Presidential election
widens immeasurably the field and opportunity
for THE DAILY News as an independent, impartial
fearless newspaper-one free from all the entanglc
ments of mere partisan allegiance. The demand
is more and more for newspaper which shall
give all the political news free from partisan color
ing, and which shall tell the absolute unvarnished
truth about things regardless Of its effect upon the
fortunes of this that political party or candidate
This demand The DAILY News aims to meet and
at its reduced price it combines all the elements
which should make it literally everybody's paper.
To the thousands of new readers whose atten-
ton is for the first time directed to THE DAILY
News it is proper to say that they will find il
complete in all the essentials Of the best Ameri-
can journalism of to-day. It's quality as a Rc7ty-
paper proper is best indicated in the fact that it is
the only low-priced paper in Chicago or the
Northwest, which is member of the Asso-
ciated Press" The other ASSOCIATED Press
papers in Chicago the 7jT6une the Times and
LpteyO6ean all cost three cents. THE CHICAGO
DAILY News prints all the neaVs and sells it for
one cent a day. Sold by all news dealers Mailed

ANOTHER LEE SAVED

writes: early last winter my daughter
was attacked with q severe cold, which
settled on her lungs. We tried several
medicines, none of which seemed to do
her any good but she continued to get
worse, and finally raised large amounts
of blood from her lungs. We called in
family physician, but he failed to do
her any good At this time friend,
who had been cured by DR.. VIM. Halls

give it trial. We then got a bottle,
and she began to improve, and by the
use Of three bottles was entirely cured.
