When Nature gives vitality to field and wood there
should be the harmony Of renewed life and energy in our
physical systems.
But on the contrary, we find ourselves weak, dull,
tired. This is because in the winter we have been
housedap in poorly ventilated Offices homes and shops,
our blood has become thin and impure and is unequal to
the demand of the body for life, more vgor, more
energ,, strength.
Nature imperatiyey cries for help!

Logically enough, in good Spring Medicine, like
Hoods oarsaparila, the great blood purifier.
This preparation has proven il many years Of test

The ex-Speaker entertained no stronger
friendship for any member of the House of
Representatives than that he has always
felt for MF. Hit. The two were frequently
seen together in the lobby of the House in
conversation, and spent many evenings to-
gether socially. 1t has been generally be-
lieved that Mr.. Reed would name Mr.. Hit
Tor chairman of the committee on foreign
relations when he again assumes the speak
ership, as MIR. HIT is regarded by both re-
puDllcanS ana democrats as one of the most
accomplished diplomats, and one of the
eeSt-inforued men on the foreign relations
of the government in the House.
Mr.. Reeds failure to go abroad, as was
expected, has caused good deal of gossip
and has been interpreted by some members
OF the House to mean that the ex-Speaker
believes a special session of Congress is
likely to take place. The fact is, Mr.. Reed
mas been very busy man since March 4
and has done much work in the formatio
CT committees and in considering matters
pertaining to the business of the next
House. While he has not believed there
would be an extra session, he has thought
1t advisable to be ready for any emergency
for he believes he will be the next Speaker
OF the House without material opposition.
He has done a good deal of work pertain

Harris and Faulkner are the only members

K EN- TUCKY FAR ERS
Their Idea of What the Free Coinage Men
Will Do.
Ex-Representative Ccombs' Opinion of
the Kind Of Campaign Literature
the Democrats Need.

Ex-Representative Coombs of Brooklyn is
gathering material for what is likely to
prove one of the most interesting and in
structive campaign publications Of the
next presidential contest. This publication
will deal with the silver question, and will
attempt to prove that the claims Of the
free silver party are erroneous.
"The trouble with our books on the Sill
yer question:" said Mr.. Coombs to a Star
reporter today, "is that they appeal to the
student rather than to the average work
ingman. They are too generally philo-
sophical discussions, whereas We need
everyday statements showing the fallacies
of the free silver men.
THE voters of the country have a very
crude idea of what the free coinage of
experience of a friend of mine from Ken
lucky the other day. This gentleman tells
me that in going into a store in one of the
small towns of the blue grass state, short
time ago, he overheard a conversation of
two intelligent farmers. One of these farm
ers was saying that he favored Judge So
and-So to distribute the silver in the treas
ury for that county, as soon as the country
adopted free coinage laws. He continued
to make an argument in favor of the judge,
saying he had always proven honest, hav-
ing filled important official positions in the
county. Those two farmers, representing
the more intelligent class of the farmers
of Kentucky, firmly believed that the
proposition of the free coinage men was
to distribute the silver now in the treas
ury among the voters of the country.
THAT is the class of people we should
reach with literature that will dispel such
absurd ideas"
Mr.. Coombs firmly believes that the sal
Vation of the democratic party during the
coming campaign depends on the defeat Of
the free silver wing of the organizat tion
and as he is generally regarded as being in
accord with the administration on this
question, any publication issued over his
signature is more than ordinarily interest

THE INCOME TAX LAW.
Another RumOr as to the Probable
Decision on 1t.

Another RumOr as to the Probable
Decision on 1t.
While treasury officials are quietly pro-
ceeding to execute the income tax law, they
had their equanimfty very much disturbed
today by rumors to the effect that the de-
cision of the Supreme Court absolutely
Eullifies the law. 1t was said that not only
had Justice Jackson voted against the law,
but the rehearing of the case had caused
other members of the court to change their
opinions, so that large majority has been
recorded adversely to taxing incomes.
All that the first decision of the court
decided was that incomes from rents could
not be taxed except by apportionment in
proportion to population, and that incomes
from state, county and municipal bonds
could not be taxed by federal authority, as
they We're instrumentalities Of the govern
ment of states.
Justices Harlan, Brown, White and Shiras
regarded the law as wholly or in part con-
stitutonal, while Chief Justice Fuller, JUS
tees Cray, Field and Brewer held that the
law as a whole was unconstitutional.
