It has been truly said that half the world
does not know how the half liver. Com
paratively few of us have perfect health,
owing to the impure condition of our blood.
But we rub along from day to day, with
scarcely thought, unless forced to our at
tention, of the thousands all about us who
are suffering from scrof,ila, salt rheum and
other serious blood disorders, and whose
agonies can only be imaained. The marked
success of Hoods Sarsaparilla for these
troubles, as shown in our advertising col
umus frequently, certainly seems to justify
urging the use of this excellent medicine by
who know that their blood is disorered.
Every claim in behalf of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is fully backed up by what the medi-
cine has done and IS still doing, and when
its proprietors urge its merits and its use
upon all who suffer from impure blood, in
great or small degrees, they certainly mean
to, include you.

POLICE NEWS Last Tuesday Esquir
Fowler had arraigned before him Hi Van
notorious thief and bad character gen
orally, who was charged by Bill Miller
with threatening an assault aud disturb
ing the public peace. Van was fined
81 so including costs. His mother paid
his fine
On the same day Alderman Graham
had a fine trio before him for fighting
and drunkenness on the public streets
the night previous; they were Annie
Van, Sarah Purnell and George Lewis.
Lewis was fined $3.50 for starting the
row in front of the "White Front" drug
store with the women and was locked
up. Sarah was fined f.. so and placed in
the adjoining cell, while Annie had gen.
tleman friend pay her fine of f.. so and
was permitted to go.
Levi found friend who paid his fine,
aud on Wednesday Sarah Purnelrs
brother put up the cash for her freedom
A large ice plant is nearly completed
in Dover aud her creamery is expected
to be in operation this month, which will
pay farmers ready cash every month. If
Milford had creamery paying out sew
eral hundred dollars to farmers for milk
every month, business people would find
trade more lively now. Milford needs
creamery - Ist, because the country
around here is capable of support: 6 the
COWS; 2nd, the cows are already here; 3rd,
the farmers will be able to market milk
at more profit than they can butter, es-
pecially in the summer time; and 4th, by
better care of cows they will increase
their manure piles, which will lesson their
phf sphate bills and make their lands
rich. If these are not sufficient reasons
then others can be brought out, but what
is lacking is the man, or men, with en-
terprise sufficient to start the creamery.
About a year ago a gentleman here in
tended to go into this enterprise, but the
advice of dairymau who markets fine
butter, discouraged him by claiming that
creameries do not pay. Well, if they do
not, why are so many operated on this
Peninsula and more erected every year.
One creamery is worth two shirt factor
les.

BKFoRE N. ]. Pierson lett Milford he
had investigated the subject of marine
railway, and believed that there was more
clear profit in it than in any other busi-
ness that is operatedin Milford. He had
made arrangements to join with William
Abbott, the shipbuilder, and have the
railway in operation at an early date;
but Mr.. Abbott was stricken down with
typhoid fever and for months hung be-
tween life and the grave, so Mr.. Pierson
gave up the plan and moved to Whining
ton. There is no question but what lots
of work can be got for a railway in Mil

than in Wilmington or Philadelphia, apd
labor is much less This scheme is a
