A city druggist stated that he had had eight
calls for Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla but had
sold his own every time. 1t did not occur to
him that it might be serious matter to give
his old time mercury and potash preparation
to people who do not need syphilitic treat
ment. 1t is safe to say that not one person
in ten have syphilitic trouble. Hence what
do they want with such dangerous minerals
as mercury and potash? What nine-tentbs
of our people are troubled with is indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, sick headaches, constipation
and face eruptions, all of which are the legiti-
mate results of improper liver and kidney
action, or impaired digestive organs. Thos,
disorders do not call for syphilitic treatment,
but for mild vegetable liver, stomach and
bowel alternatives. We are surprised that
intelligent people should be persuaded into
taking a mercury and potash sarssparilla

go at a greater rate of speed. The thorough
bred not having inherited more than nor
NAL inclination to trot is comparatively at
a disadvantage compared with the trottiDg-
bred horse that uses the gait natural to him
through the influence of inherited qualities.
But this does initiate against my assump-
ton that the physical organization of the
thoroughbred is more perfect than that OF
the trotter.
In crossing thoroughbreds with trotters
it is essential to select trotting stallion of
the best quality and with great prepotency.
His qualities will then, in all probability,
be stamped upon the product of the cross.
There is a great advantage in this over
crossing trotting mares with thorough
bred stallion, for in tie latter case we could
hardly be expected to get as good an aver
age power to trot from number of we'll
bred trotting mares as from single STALL
ion.
While I would fortify the trotting ami
NAL with thoroughbred blood, do not
wish to be understood as in any manner
disparaging the great qualities OF our trot-
tiers. They are the result of careful selec-
ton of horses possessing the largest trotting
instinct.
think that, for practical purposes, the
better way TO avail ourselves of the superior
qualities of the thoroughbred is, therefore,
to ergraft it by degrees upon such of our
trotting-bred material as will be likely to
absorb it to the best advantage while pre-
| serving the trotting proclivity. 1t was my
expectation at the outset of my breeding
to be able thus to fortify my trotting stock
with degree of superior vital forces of
the thoroughbred without materially dis
turbing the trotting inclination, which ex-
plains why was induced to attempt its
uses in breeding trotters.
l am using thoroughbred mares much
more extensively now than used to do at
the beginning of my breeding operations,
and have so much faith in the infusion of
this blood that 1 shall use it still more in
the future, always and only using stations

How the Glorious Climate of Sacramento
Strikes the Britishers.

now the GlOrIouS climate OF SACRAMENTO
Strikes the Britishers.
The Sporting Chronicle, recognized as one
of the best-informed of the English sport
ing journals, has this to say of the Sacra-
mento turf wonder, Ell Rio Rey:
"The glorious climate of California, SO
often quoted by its admirers, has never had
more striking illustration of the tendency
to precocious development than in the case
of Theodore Winters crack two-year-od,
Ell Rio Rey cThe King of the River'l, who
is muscled and furnished throughout more
like fully developed four-year-old. He
is perfect equine giant, standing over 16
hands high; rather angular, and tremend-
ously muscled, with tendency to coarse
ness. He is golden chestnut in color,
with three white legs and broad blaze"
Theodore Winters, the owner of this
young champion of the turf, has engaged
stali-room at st. Louis, and there seems to
be little doubt that, if all goes well with
the colt he will start in the derby there.
The sporting papers believe that the Win
tiers string will take in the entire circuit
next spriDg and summer.

directed to our soldier Congressman,

learn, not in the district. The latter
clause of the Posr's article, is n fling
at n friend. that is not merited, and
might just as well have been omitted.

gled out our Congressman as your
bird, and why! Because you
say "he has not done much for the
soldier applicant of Snyder county"
