Sarsaparilla Perfectly Cured
Great mental agony is endured by
parents who see their children suffering
from diseases caused byimpure blood, and
for which there seems no cure. This is
turned to joywhen Hoods Sarsaparilla is
resorted to, for it expels the foul humors
from the blood and restores the dis
eased skin to fresh healthy brightness.
Read the following from grateful parents;
"ToC. l. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass:
eve think Hoods Sarsaparilla is the most
valuable medicine on the market for blood and
skin diseases Our two children suffered terri
bly, with the
Worst Form OF Eczema
for two years. We had three physicians in
f,at time. but neither Of them succeeded In
curing them or even In giving them little
relief. At last we tried Hoods Sarsaparilla
and in a month both children were per-
fectly cured, We recommend

A SMART" COUNTRY BOY.

The smart" city boy has countless
wonderful stories to tell to his country
cousin when he goes to the farm for a
part Of the summer. The city may not
be good place to stay in the warm
weather, but it is good place to brag
about City Boy got caught, however,
when he had pumped Country Boy full
Of yarns about marvellous things the
metropolis.
"Well. I know" said Country Boy,
with an angelic look on his freckled
face, "tut my uncle over to Cross Roads
beats 'em all. He's got twenty hives
of bees, and he's got name for every
bee." City Boy jeered, but Country
Boy stuck to his yarn stubbornly until
City Boy, seeing chance to get big
story to tell in the city, was convinced.
4" Well" he said. tell me some Of
the names. What does he call some Of
them?''
Bees" said Country Boy, his face
as expressionless as a freckled fiou,
sack, "just bees. He calls 'em all

and an undesirable willingness to yield
to the demands of the less intelligent
portion of the working men, or those
who seem to take pride in styling them
selves "the unemployed.
As many of this class would not ac-
cept farm labor at any wages any more
thal would Coxey's army, it does not
seem that there should be any greater
objection to the truant boys earning
something toward their support by the
State than there should be if they were
bound out among farmers, as used to be
the custom for many poor boys, and
now is done by many of the charitable
institutions. Such boys have had OPP
portunity to learn useful business,
have become self-supporting and made
valuable members Of society. idle
ness is the mother of mischief, says the
old proverb, and we think a crowd of
boys confined together in idleness would
learn more evil than if kept at work,
and possibly more than if playing
truant on the streets. And we might
say the same thing of older convicts in
our prisons.
A law which provided that the pro-
duct Of our penal and charitable insti-
buttons should not be sold at less than
the market rates of those produced by
private individuals, presumably honest,
might be of value, but teach the boys
to work and make the sentence of the
men to "hard labor" effective. Some
thing more depends upon this than the
mere loss to the State of the cost of a
few years support of them. 1t means,
for the boGysRt least, the formation OF
habits of idleness or usefulness for a
lifetime, and to some Of the men in our
prisons it may mean the ability to sup
port themselves by honest labor after
their discharge, or an enforced return
to their dishonest practices to obtain a
living.
We might have expected such a pro-
test against allowing the work of the
boys to have been made by some of the
trades unions, or by cranks like Coxey
and his adherents, or by such boys as
were too lazy to either work or study,
but we had not expected it from farm
ers and gardeners, who usually believe
in the dignity Of labor" and that all
who are able should earn their living
"by the sweat of their broWs.'

ECONOMY OF HEALTH.

A problem which every one should
aim to solve is. How may best en-
ploy in my given occupation the meas
ure of health and strength which 1 pos
sess?"
1t is a law of nature that the exercise
Of functions results in an increase of
their ability. Muscles become larger
by exercise. Brain matter, by constant
intellectual employment, increases in
weight, and the "brain cells" become
greater in number. This is true of
every bodily and mental function.
But any function may be wrongly
employed. When muscle is con-
stantly used to excess, it atrophies or
becomes smaller. The brain, if held
too closely to it's task, at length refuses
to act.
Physical exercise is often perverted
by being employed at improper times,
as Immediately after meal; by being
too hurried and short, as when one
PUSHES to catch train; or by being SO
prolonged as to produce extreme fatigue
A young man was recently advised
to take physical exercise out of doors.
With an exclamation he proceeded to
relate how, after a morning of close
confinement at office work, he took a
hurried lunch and at once rushed to a
series of appointments, the distance
between which amounted to several
miles, 1t was explained that this was
not exercise in the proper sense of the
word. 1t is impossible to digest food,
to exercise severely, to prosecute bust
ness, and to do all we'll at the same
time.
Deliberation is necessary to proper
exercise, as we'll as proper method
of study, or to the proper performance
of any occupation. The normal de-
velopment of every member and tissue
is slow one; too rapid increase is
apt to produce harm, or to precede dis
ease of member.
In order to preserve health to old age,
one must exercise his muscles and his
brains so that each shall receive a
proper amount of solid, steady work,
and what is equally important, proper
amount of rest. If one feels himself
lacking in physical strength, he may
be absolutely certain that by the use OF
what muscular power he has he will
gain more. A weak organ gains power
by moderate, steady exercise of its
function. Youth Companion.

MARRYING A WORTHLESS MAN.

I ask not that girl in love with a
young fellow shall weigh every point.
Women are not created that way, and
love is not conducive to that sort of all
around, open-eyed care and prudence.
But one thing 1 do ask of her: If she
marries a worthless fellow who has
no business ability with her eyes open,
she must not complain afterward if she
finds that all the other graces of man
hood are as naught, in the long run, be-
fore that one great incompetency in a
man. An incompetent business man
is only shade better than a morally
deficient man, but only shade. I
care not what young man earns when
he asks girl to mary him-if it is
only IS a week-so long as he has a
sincere love for his work and an honor
able determination to succeed in it..

began to decline and has steadily
