at that time and participate in the celebra-
ton. Mayor Melcher is helping the matter
along and has written letter, unofficially
and simply in his character as private citi-
zen, to certain high officials in the society
asking If arrangements cannot be made
whereby the annual encanpment may occur
here the Fourth Of July.
In the event of this society coming here

1t Costs Less

On the question of real economy Hoods Sar-
saparilla is so far ahead of other preparations as
to place them entirely out of the race as Compel
itors. Here are facts:
4. Hoods Sarsaparilla Costs the MAN.
fncturer More than any other competing prep
aration, because ii is more highly concentrated
and contains more real medicinal value
3. Ii Costs the J obber More, as c0nse-
quence of the fact just stated.
8. Ii Costs the Retail Druggist More,
for the same reason-as can easily be learned by
inquiry. Hence the desire of some retailers to
sen their own preparations, which costs them less
and for which they get the same price, thus max
ing more money. But
4. Ii Costs the Consume LESS than any
other medicine because of its greater concentrat-
ed strength, and the quantity in each bottle, and
because 1t is the only preparation of which can
truly be said, 900 Doses One Dollar.n
That the people appreciate this is shown by the
fact that Hoods SaTsaparilla has The Largest
Sale Of any sarsaparilla or blood purifier. 1t pos
sesses peculiar merit and effects wonderful cures
