Sick headaches arise from variety of
causes. When the bowels are all clogged
up, when the blood is watery and impure,
when the liver is torpid, when the kid
neys are inactive, nature rebels. Nature
being at war with itself something must
be hurt, and too often the head aches.
You can always tell when headache is
coming on. A dull, heavy sensation,
brow pains, eyes aching and watery,
chilly sensations, nausea, constipation of
the bowels, highly colored urine, Sleep
lessness, all show that the liver, kidneys
and stomach are inactive and that the
blood is Impoverished. Don't you
know .the blood ia made up
of serum, red and white blood
corpuscles, also earthly phosphates
Good blood must have specified amount
of each of these component parts. When
the blood is good and healthy blood, and
the liver, kidneys and stomach are daily
doing good work, the man or woman is
buoyant, happy and enjoying good health.
When the blood is impure and the stom-
ach, liver and bowels inactive you must
of necessity feel blue, feel respondent.
feel melancholy, feel weary, feel pains
in the back and sides. For these condi-
tions the Home Remedy, the Cupboard
Remedy, Joy'sIV egetable Sarsaparilla, is
truly and really specific. 1t is simply
and strictly chemical com bination of
purely vegetable herbs, having no min
eral drugs whatsoever. There are no mer-

Nerves are like babies. They must be
fed. You cannot nourish a sick baby
until you have removed the cause of sick
ness. You cannot feed the nerves until
you have pure blood, active stomach,

rectly and indirectly. 1t removes the
cause, and thereby cures the evil.

At the meeting of the delegates from

was one subject advanced at the meeting
which met with the approval of all, and
that was the improvement of our roads.
Editors of newspapers and bicycle men
have been working hard to accomplish
something, and in several States their ef-
forts have been rewarded, and the farmers
and merchants who use the new roads are
lavish in their praises. The demand for
good horses and vehicles has increased;
the value of farms wherever these roads
are has been enhanced; competition to the
railroads has become keener, consequent
Iy more men have been employed, and
prosperity has uprooted poverty. We
shall keep this question continually be-

some good accomplished. The seed has
been sown, and bountiful harvest may
be expected.

THOROUGH INVESTIGATION
REQUESTED.
A BOLD ASSERTION

Ever since Prof Koch startled the world
by promising to cure consumption with the
Koch lymph and his complete failure to do
so. the people have been looking for some
discovery which would prove an absolute,
certain cure for that dread disease Over a
quarter of a century ago DR.. K. V. Pierce,
chief consulting physician to the Invaids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute. put in claim
for a medicine, which he had discovered
and used, in his extensive practice, that
would 6u,e ninety eight per cent ofall cases
of consumption when taken in all its early
stages. Time has proved that his assertion
was based on facts gained from experience
His Golden Medical Discovery " has cured
many thousand people i'll all parts of the
world and DR.. Pierce invites all interested
to send to him for free book which gives
the names, addresses and photographs of
many prominent people who have willingly
testified to the marvellous curative proper
ties of his Golden Medical Discovery.
He has also written Book of TO pages on
Diseases ofthe Respiratory Organs, (which
treats of all Throat, Bronchial and Lung
diseases, also Asthma and CatarTh. that will
be mailed by the Worlds Dispcnsary Med
ical Association of Buffalo. NY. on receipt
of six cents in stamps, to pay postage.
Consumption, as most everybody knows,
Is first manifested by feeble vitality, loss
of strength, emaciation then local symp-
toms soon ueEelop, as foHPH, ditflcult
breathing, or bleeding from lungs. when
investigation proves that tubercular de-
posits have formed in the lungs. It is
earnestly advised that the Discovery" be
taken carly and the latter stages of the
disease can thereby be easily avoided.

the grip, pneumonia, ("lung fever ~, ex-

ANTIQUITY OF FOOTBALL.

1t Was Played by the Greeks and Roman
Centuries Ago.
In answer to a query whether football
is Il modern game the Baltimore Ameri-
Fan says:
No: it was sport which highly de-
lighted both the Romans and the
Creek. 1t was known by the former
as harpastum. and by the latter as es-
pislluros. There is Il reference in Fitz
Stephen which is supposed to indicate
that the amusement was popular in
England during the reign OF Henry H.,
about 1160. This mention has n doubt
full meaning. and may refer only to ten
mis-. 1t is certain, however. that it was
familiar to the subjects of Edward I'LL,
for he in 1871 felt compelled to issue an
edict prohibiting it. not because of its
undesirability, but because it impeded
the progress of archery. For similar
reason James ii. of Scotland also put
the ban on the game. Sir Thomas Ell
got, writing in the time of Henry WILL,
denounced the game as being moth.
ynge but beastly fury and extreme
violence whereof proceedeth hurte, and
consequently rancOr and malice do re-
main with them that be wounded.
wherefore it is to be put in perpetual
sylence." James /. also shared this be
lief in the brutality of the sport, anc
wrote in his Basilicon Doron: From
his court debar all rough and violen'
exercises as the football, meeter for lam
ng than making able the users there
IT." Barclay in his Fifth Eclogue, dated
1908, had these lines:
The sturdie plowman, lustie, strong andbold
Overcometh the winter with driving the foot
ball,
Forgetting labour and many grievous fall

AS when q sort OF lusty shepherds try
Their force at football; care OF victory
Makes them salute so rudely, breast to breast
That their encounter seems too rough 70,

Although They Govern Monarchs Mu

Kings are supposed to govern; but.
like othe r men, some of them have beer
passioIately fond of some more com

of the most curious:

adept at filing needles, whilst Eropus,
one of the kings of Macedonia spent the
greater part of his time in making vari-
Gus kinds Of lanterns.

and attention to the science of govern

snatch in turning. He had fitted up,

palace at Kew, workshop, from
whence he was often brought after
keeping a cabinet council waiting for
hours. Poor Louis XIV, Of France.
spent most of his time in making locks.
One trade, that of watch and clock
making, has had two royal followers.

very fond of making and mending the

strangest of all occupations for king

who spent his time in catching moles
