WHAT rs
SCROFULA

It is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which,
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin Of pimples, can
eeteas growths, or the many other manifesto
tons usually ascribed to "humors:" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general Of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.

Now !: g. Ca" CURED

BY taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some Of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
serofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, sores breaking
out on them In various places. My little boy,
three years old, has been a terrible sufferer.
Last spring he was one mass of sores from head
to feet. Twas advised to use Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla, and we have all taken it, The result
is that all have been cured Of the scrofula,
my little boy being entirely free from sores,
and all four of my children look bright and
healthy" w. B. ATHERToN, Passaic City, NJ.

Is IT wise for the council to permit
peddlers to canvass the city tor the sale
OF goods carried by our merchants? It
would seem not. Our merchants pay
their taxes, are here to guarantee their
goods as represented, and should not be
Disseminated against. A peddler sells
goods from door to door at prices greater
than our own dealers charge, and in case
the goods prove inferior, as is too often
the case, the purchaser has no recourse
Our merchants are honorable men and
fair dealers, asking only a leginate and
living profit, and whoever promises goods
cheaper lnisrepresents the price or the
quality. The HERALD ADVISES our citi-
zens to have nothing to do with these
pcddlers who go about from door to
door offering wares which can be pur-
chased of respectable and responsiblel local
dealers. The council may not be able to
absolutely smut these hawkers of goods
out of the city but they can fix the IL
ccnce fec at 4 figure that it will make it
unprotitab!c and uninteresting for them
Let them do it.

PUBLIC PARKs-The citizens of Sank
Centre are awakening to the necessity of
providing one or more public parks, the
idea prevailing that the sooner they are &C
quired and the improvements commenced
the earlier they will be serviceable for the
purposes for which they are intended
and the cheaper the property can be ac-
CURED. For the proposed park on the
north side large sum has been subsc, ibed,
and it is earnestly hoped the full amount
necessary for the purchase of the proper
ty will be secured. There has also been
liberal subscriptions made for similar
park on Main-st., near the Manitoba
crossing. Both are worthy of careful
consideration and liberal subscriptions.
The city should take hold of the matter
With liberality. The HERALD would sug-
gest that the aldermen pledge the city to
give one-tourth the purchase price for a
park, or any number of them, whenever
the citizens will give three-fourths, pro-
viding the location and price be satisfac.
tory to the council, and that the title of
the lands so acquired be vested in the
council. Under this plan the city would
get the title ofpar!1 property at one
fourth its real value, certainly good IN
vestment. And there is no danger of a
park system being overdone ii this plan
be adopted. 1t would afford stimulus
to residents OF certain localities to sub
scribe more literally than they otherwise
would, for it is the last quarter that
comes hardest, and in certain instances
those who have already subscribed
would increase their donations if they
had the assurances that byso doing they
| would secure what they want

The Newspaper Puff.

The newsplper puff is something
thai makes men feel bad-if they
don't yet il. The groundwork OF
an ordinary newspaper puff con
sists Of good moral character and
good bank account Writing
newspaper puffs is like mixing
sherry cObblers and mint juleps
all through the summer months
for customers, and quenching your
own thirst with rain water. Some
Times a man is looking for a puff
and don't get il then he says the
publication is gong down hill, ami
that it is in The hands of monop-
oily. and he would stol, subscribing
if he did not have 10 pay his bilT
first. Writing a newspaper puff is
like taking the photograph OF u
homelv baby. | fhe photograph:

wings and halos and harps, it shows
that lhe artist does not understand
his business. So il is with he
newspaper puff-if the puffed does
nj stand out like a bold and fear
less exponent OF truth and morali-
ty, 1t shows that he pulfer doesn't
understand human nature. 1t is
more fun to see man read puff
of himself than it is to SEE man
slip up on an orange peel. The
narrow minded man reals il over
seven or eight times, and then goes
aroand to The different places in
town where the paper is taken and
steals what he can. The kind.
hearted family man goes home and
reads it TO his wife, aud then pays
up his bill on the paper. The sue
cessful business man, who adver-
tises aud makes money, starts I'M
mediately TO find the newspaper
man and speak word of grateful
acknowledgment and encourage,
ment. Then the two men start out
of The sanclum and walk thought
fully down the street together, anI
the successful business man takes
sugar in hls, and they both eat Il
Glove or Two; and lie is sweeter.

National Democrat.
The difference between The Dom
ocralic and Republican parties On
the question Of taxation is not a
difference between AZ and 40 per
cent, which is a mere natterof de-
tail, nor a question between a pro-
hIbitory tariff on one side and free
trade ON the other which is mere
academic discussion of no interest
TO practical men. But it is a differ
ence hat lies al the very root Of all
governmental question upon which
ii depends whether our Govern
ment shall lie OF the people, for
the people, and 10y The people, or a
GOvermenl Of all the people by a
very few of the people for an eX-
tremelf limited class Of The people.
The Republican party says that
taxes are blessings, aud the more
The people OF a nation are taxed
individually, The more prosperous
the nation is as Il whole. The
Democratic party declares that
taxes are burdens, and the less We
have Of them the better, and that
The idea of enriching he whole
community by taking property IN
minute quantities from Il great
many people and giving it in large
quantities 10 a few people IS sim
ply rubbish. Sixty million dollars
in one mans pocket is very i'm
posing evidence Of his prosperity,
but the nation would be better off
if each one of 60,000000 people
had dollar in his pocket. although
it is true thai the S60.000,000 would
not make much show when divided
up. Undoubtedly il makes money
circulate 10 take it out of one pock-
ct and put il into the other, but
that doesn't make The whole
amount any greater. And so il
makes il circulate to take II from
one man and give il to another,
but the process does not bless the
men it's taken from.
