Nothing Strange.

Intelligent people who realize the
important part the blood holds in keep
ing the body in a normal condition, find
nothing strange in the number If dis
eases that Hoods Sarsaparilla is able
to cure. So many troubl S result from
impure blood that the best way to treat
them is through the blood, and it is
far better to use only harmless veget-
able compounds than to dose to excess
with quinine, calomel and other drugs.
By treating the blood with Hoods
Sarsaparilla, scrofula, salt rheum and
what are commonly called "humors;"
dyspepsia, catarrh, rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, consumption and other troubles
that originate in impurities of the blood
or impaired circulation, can all be cured.

The Late William Walter Phelps.

The death of the Hon. William Wal
ter Phelps has called out a series of eu-
logies from the press and the political
leaders of all parties, that breathe a
rare tone of sincerity. Mr.. Phelps was
an ideal American citizen. Defended
from an old and honorable family, he
inherited great wealth which he used
in so public spirited a way as to incite
no envy but rather 10 make it plain
that rich men of the right spirit are
e%minently desirable in our present
stage of our social and economic devel-
opment. Mr.. Phelps possessed in the
highest degree a sense of patriotic OBJ
legation. He served his New jersey
neighbors for numerous terms in the
House of Representatives, and won
high honors in diplomatic posts abroad.
He had shown great talen. and indus
try in the early part of his career as a
practicing lawyer, and his public life
was ended as q member Of the Court of
Appeals of New Jersey. 1t was desir-
ed to reform judicial methods in that
State, and Mr.. Phelps sometime ago
accepted an appointment to the bench
because it seemed to him a public du-
ty, although it could bring him no add
ed hOnOrs. and the salorv was of M
consequence to a man of his great
wealth. He took the place with its
necessary limitations upon his leisure
and his freedom to travel and to in
dulge his own refined tastes, as a mat
ter of public service. He was through
all his career q de- votee of the princi-
pies of the Republican party, and it is
therefore gratifying to observe that the

to have gained q strong hold upon the

has its timely lessons for the country.
