Spring is the season for cleansing and
renewing the blood. During the winter
it has crept sluggishly through the
veins, gathering impurities from indoor
air, from fatty substances in the food,
and from many other sources.
The great. blood purifying medicine
especially prepared to do this work is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t will give to the
blood purity, richness and vitality and
these will bring health and vigor, strong
nerves, agood appetite, refreshing sleep,
and powers of endurance.

MORE RAIN NEEDED.
Indiana Crop Report Makes a Fairly
Good Owin

Good Showing.
Indianapolis, Ind, April 3O.-The In
diana weekly Weather-crop bulletin
says: Dry, warm, fair weather, with
badly distributed local rains on two
days, were favorable for farm work,
but rain is much needed, especiallsfor
wheat and grass. Winter wheat in gen
eral is promising a good harvest, espe-
cially that on loose bottom lands; on
uplands not fortified and in clay
ground it is less promising, standing
thin and spotted in some fields. The
continuous dry weather, relieved at
long intervals only by light showers,
retarded the growth Of wheat; in the
central and northern portions it is not
stooling out well, but with more rain
in the future the prospect for a good
crop is enhanced.

Hoods Sarsaparna

II cannot speak too highly OF Hoo1 g
sarsaparilla, as it has worked wonders
my case. I am "a years Of age and &c
been afflicted with salt rheum on M hands
for a great many years. l tried many
things to cure them, but failed. My hands
would crack open and bleed profusely, and
the pain was terrible to bear. Since taking
Hoods sarsaparilla the flesh has healed and
the skin is as smooth as any farmers. I
recommend Hoods S~arsaparilla as a reliable
medicine and always speak in its favor.''-

has caused a commotion IN Nebraska
political circles.

THREE PENSION DECISIONS.

assistant Secretary Reynolds Straightens
Out Some More Tangles..
WASHINGTON, July II. - Assistant
Secretary Reynolds has rendered three
decisions in pension appeal cases. In
the first he holds that while the COM
missioner of pensions is forbidden by
law to suspend payment of a pension
pending proceedings to annul or re-
duce it, nevertheless in case such pen
sion is annulled, all unpaid pension APP.
parently accrued at the date of annul-
ment becomes illegal and must not be
paid.
In the second case the secretary
holds that the law forbidding the COM
missioner to reduce pensions without
thirty days notice does not apply to
cases acted on before its passage.
In the third case it is held that as
the act pensioning the children of a
soldier who are under Is years of age
expressly provides that the pensions
shall begin from the date of the filing
of the application for the pension, a
claimant who was over 16 years old
when the act was passed has no claim

bureau, in its report of crop conditions
for the week ended July Is, says:
Drought has been broken in
Iowa and partially relieved
in Wisconsin and southern Mime
sofa, but continues in Ohio and with
great severity over the southern half
of Michigan. Excessive rains have de-
layed threshing in Missouri, Kansas
northern Texas, Kentucky and Ten
nessee, and caused grain in shock to
sprout.
Corn needs rain in Ohio, northern
Indiana, southern Michigan, Wiscon-

improved by rain in Nebraska, where
the blades are beginning to roll. In
the southern states the finest crop Of
corn for years is promised. Frost on

posed to turn out wheels for $50 each
as good in every way as those which

THE eastern brewers are credited
with being favorable to an increased
tax on beer by way Of improving the
financial income of the national treas.
ury. The idea is based on the calcula-
ton that an additional tax of 81 per
barrel will force western beer out OF
eastern markets. The western brew
ers have been able to break into all
eastern cities and work up large sales.
and are now increasing their trade
against the eastern brewers.
