\ Significant Departure.

With the departure of another year
when a review is made OF the condit-
ion OF affairs, it is only right that
some thought be given to the physical
body which enables everyone TO bat
tie with life's problem and figure for
themselves the profit or loss on the
trial balance sheet. Though the bank
account may be large and each ones
material gain be great, it would not
be surprising if it suddenly dawns
upon many that good health has been
greatly Impoverished by the low
condition OF the blood. 1t is in this
state that the Tactic acid in the vital
fluid attacks the fiorous tissues, par
ticularly the joints, making known
the local manifestations of rheuma-
tism. Thousands of people have
found in Hoods Sarsaparilla the
great blood purifier, a positive and
permanent cure for rheumatism.

An exchange gives the following
good sound advice: "VVe confess
we have no sympathy with despon.
dents. We do not like to see man
sit down on a curbstone and give up.
There is always way out Ii times
are hard now, husband your re
sources and keep stiff upper lip
Work harder and let your talk be
more hopeful. Men can do much in
this way to inspire confidence which
is all we lack. A man can sit on a
curbstone or an empty dry goods
box and pour out gloom while his
wife is at home working to keep
everything going and he can't do a
particle of good. Don't sit around
the public places and growl. Aud
when the flow of commerce sets in,
remember that the ant, the bee and
gropher do not eat all they can in
the flush time OF the year but lay by
a store for the animal panic of the
winter. Go thou and do like wise
and remember that in all this wide

she is not to be allowed to become
more and more tyrannical and unjust

Hands Off

doctrine, carried out, places the
United States in just the position
that have suggested it is necessary
for some powerful government to
fill. I rejoice to see the country
recognize her own power and dignity
and duty, and 1 am further pleased
to hear that President, Legislators

the subject. But there will be no
