doctors ;tpprehend that the present difficulty
IS due to the same cause. There is no con-
cetling the fact that both the Governor )
physicians and his family fear that the

that he is afflicted with Il fatal niaiady, and

Purify Your Blood

1t is true economy to buy Hoods Sarsaparilia for
100 Doses One Dollar is original with and true only
of this popular medicine. If wish to this
buy bottle of HOODS Sarsaparilla and measure its
contents You viii find it to hold ITO teaspoonfuls.
Now read the directions, and you will find that the
average dose for persons OF different ages Is less
than q teaspoonful. This is certainly conclusive
evidence of the peculiar strength and economy OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Give it trial this spring.

A well-known New York florist is
said to be the first man who ever used
n refrigerator for preserving flowers.
Before going into the flower business
he had been butcher. Without any
particular theory in the matter he put
the flowers in the refrigerator because
he had been in the habit Of putting his
meat there. The effect was. of course,
to arrest the development of the
flowers. When they were taken out
they were nearly as fresh and crisp as
when they went in. The use of the
refrigerator was rapidly adopted and
the refrigerator is now one of the most
expensive appointments of flower
shop. They are all illuminated with
electric lights and the temperature is
about tifty-fve or sixty. Before the
refrigerators We're introduced the flow
ers were kept in layers underneath the
counter. but the heat of the store.
especially at night, had the effect of
whiting them badly.

CURIOUS HlsroRY OF THE TOMATO

CDHHUUS HHSORF VI
The tomato has n curious history.
After the revolution Of st. Domingo
many French families came from there
to Philadelphia, where they introduced
their favorite "pomme d'amour." AL
though introduced from South America
as early as 1896 into England, it was
looked upon with suspicion, and its
specific name, lycopersicum, derived
from lykos (wolf) and persikop IA peach)
referring to the beautiful but deceptive
appearance Of its fruit, intimates pretty
closely the kind of estimation in which
it vas held. It. is now, however, all
but universally used.

In the evening Rev. J. Y. Dobbins,
Of Wilmington, gave an address on
Temperance TO a crowded audience. .
He said the cause he plead for was a
righteous one. No language IA por-
tray the distress and ruin of rum. The
attitude of the liquor traffic In social
life Is to disorganize and create disor-
der. The saloon is a source of immor-
ality aud skepticism and sources Of
profanity ard rioting. The riots Of
Chicago were Matched In saloons. The
saloon antagonizes and is the persistent
enemy Of the home the foundation Of
public virtue. Men who p~atronize the
saloon are putting ~torpedoes under
their homes which will blight the life
OF their children and make their wives
worse than widows. The saloon Is q
menace to our state as it governs all
our large cities.
Men and women must feel their re-
spoDsibility and put an end TO 1t. II
we had half the energy of the liquor
men it would be done. The saloon
keeper is not in the business for princi-
pie, patriotism or good Of the people
but solely for what money there Is in
1t. Our magnificent government was
not made by nor for the saloon but to
give happy, virtuous homes. The sa-
loon is the most powerful foe to the
church. AS Lincoln Park has a great
d~emoraliziDg influence on the Churches
In It's neigliborhood 80 every saloon has
its influence.
What are We to do about it. Il would
rather 60 down with right than triumph
with wrong The signs Of the times
are favorable. Drunkenness is more
disgraceful now than 25 years ago.
Public feeling and education on tenn.
perance is far ahead of a quarter GEN.
tnry ago. Fifty years ago no II
would have thought there would be no
slavery now. In nearly all the States
laws now require hygiene to be taught
in schools.
Whatever woman undertakes she
will do If she doesn't change her mind.
No one can measure the influence Of
the W. q. T.U. In vita.izing the temper
ance cause and creating temperance
sentiment. Be true to God, to human.
ity, to childhood, TO Christianity to
home, to Church and the saloon will
have to go.
