Attorney General Standish Proelaims.


The duties of my Office make it in
cumbent upon me to see that the
prohibition law especially is enforced
in all parts of the state, andany local
ity Or body of citizens that may pre-
sumo, by ordinance or otherwise, to
supercede the state law and prevent
its due enforcement, regardless of
there private views on the merits of
the law, are practically guilty of in
snbordination approaching a species
of treason to the state, and it be-
comes the duty of the state and every
citizen thereof, who respects law, to
meet suchspirit with all the force and
power at its or his command, as much
as we would ask the federal govern
ment to do this to crush any such
conduct in any particular state, and
ask it to call on us individually for
support. 1t is the memorable purpose
of this department of the state gov
eminent to see that this law, as well
as others is rigidly enforced, with
all the power at its command. But
before initiating proceedings it has
thought it best to issue Il note of
warning to those now engaged in
violating the law, asking them to de-
sist, which is hereby accordingly
done.
1t is the duty of every citizen of
the state to aid in driving from il
every "blind pig" that shall continue
in the illicit liquor traffic, and to oh.

your states attorney for action. This
being done, if he should refuse to act,
report the matter to me with a full
statement of the evidence submitted
to him, and it will form the basis Of
my action in the promises.
This office will cheefully grant in.

Real Merit
Is the characteristic of Hoods Sarsa
p~arilla. and it is manifested ever,
day in the remarkable cures thi
medicine accomplishes. Druggist
say: When we sell IL bottle of Hood
Sarsaparilla to a new customer we al,
sure to sec him back i'm Il few week
after more,-proving that the goo'
results from Il trial bottle warran
continuing its use. This positive
merit Hoods Sarsaparilla possesses b,
virtue of the peculiar combination
proportion and process used i'm it,
preparation, and by which all TIL
remedial value of the ingredient
used is retained. Hoods Sarsaparill;
is thus peculiar to itself and abso
lutely unequalled in it's power as
blood purifier, and rs II tonic for build
ing up the weak and weary, and Civ
ing nerve strength.
