The Citizen Soldiers.

The main fact about the parade of
Tuesday should now be put Oh record.
Since the world began to organize for
fighting there were probably never in
line at any one time for display or for
service, forty thousand finer men than
those that marched up Broadway and
the Fifth avenue.
The regular army of no nation on
earth can produce an equal number OF
soldiers with an individual average
comparable with that of Tuesdays
parade Armies are not now aud in
no age of the world have been built
throughout of such material. These
were the pick of citizen population
nowhere and never surpassed in the
physical, moral and intellectual quail
ties that make the soldier. They were
representative American men in
uniform.
Did any American Of the million
along the route miss the significance
of the magnificent spectacle? History
does net tell of a time, in peace or war,
when forty thousand finer fellows
marched together.

Tbe Tired Feeling.

Season is here again, and nearly every one
feels weak, languid' and exhausted. The
blood, laden with impurities which have
been accumulating for months, moves slug
eishly through the veins, the mind fails to
think quickly, and the body is still slower to
respond. Hoods Ssrsaparilla is just what is
needed. It is, in peculiar sense, the ideal
spring mediciue. It puri6es, vitalizes, and
enriches the blood, makes the head clear,
creates an appetite, overcomes that tired
feeling, and imparts new strength and vigor
70 the whole body.
