: 7 O You
The Most Important

Matter demanding attention at this
season is the condition of your blood.
Your health depends upon it, for as
the quality and quantity of the blood
vary, you are better or worse.
The blood conveys all the elements
whichgo to make up the organs, nerves
and tissues of the body, and carries
away all dissolved, useless material.
Every bone, muscle, nerve and tissue,
lives upon what the blood feeds to it.
The whole world knows that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the standard remedy
for making pure blood.
1t possesses merit peculiar to itself
and by which it effects marvellous
cures even when other preparations
fail. When you buy your spring medi-
cine get the best, and that is

NOTES FOR THE CURIOUS.

Lots Wife as a "Pillar Of Salt"
"*++ God remembered and sent
Lot out Of the midst Of the over
throw when he Overthrew the cities
In which Lot dwelt. But his
wife looked back from behind him
and she became a pillar of saIt."-
Genesis xix, 26-2O.
The legend which tells that IL salt
statue of Lots wife still stands on
the shore of the Dead Sea is almost
as old as the biblical passage quot
ed above. The monk Celeli, who
visited the Dead Sea region in the
year 947, says: "The miracle of the
salt woman, which same was once
the wife of the righteous Lot, still
stands at Usdum, on the southern
shore Of the sea. The form is as
perfect now as it was on the even
ing Of the awful day when Sodom
and GOmorrah sent up their smoke
as the s noke OF great furnace. y
~ 1t is asserted that ifa piece be
broken from this salt memorial,
either by an unbeliever or by the
fury Of the elements, 1t is iinmedi-
ateIy and miracuIously repaired"
Prof. Metzgcr. another monk, but
of different order Chat OF st. Ben
edict), writted 1853 years after Gel
ell, in the year 100, says: "That
wonderful salt statue still stands,
and must ever SO stand, asa per-
petnal memorial Of disobedience."
Modern writer's declare Lots salt
wife To be myth. and never mem
ton the matter unless With the OBJ.
|ect Of helping TO explode The ab-
Durditles Of the old-time stories.

they are once more putting aside

TIE Supreme Court of the lutte,

THE Supreme Court of the Uuited
States has rendered an important
decision in which the Sugar Trust
as a manufacturing monopoly is de-
clared not to be in violation Of the
Antitrust Law because the state
courts should deal with this qucs-
ton when the specific act of alleged
violation is confined to the limits
of any state, even though by its ex.
ercise there is an interference with
commerce between the states. This
is a strained and extreme decision
in the line Of state rights made by
Republican court, that we venture
to say would never have been rem
dered II the positions of the parties
to the suit were reversed, and is
only one among many pointer that
the higher courts, National as well
as State, are the devoted creatures
of the big monopolies.- Steubenrilte

NEW YORK, January 2s.-There

tailed information concerning the
practical workings of the electoral

oughly conversant with the new
woman's rights law, now in force
in Australia. His opinion upon this
subject will be of vast interest to
American women, and especially
those who participated in the re.
cent campaign. In an interview
Mr.. WithefOrd says: ~ believe the
signs are that you will have wo-
mems rights all over America be-
fore 20" know it, just as we had In
New Zealand. The agitation there
did not very actively begin until
about a year ago, though Sir George
Grey and another able statesman
have long favored the idea. One
thing has been demonstrated to me
quite fully since came to the Uni
ted States, and that is that your
American men are wandering from
their traditional spheres much more
than our men do in the colonies.
Do your men really dare to fit on
women's jackets and cloaks? Our
women's buckles and belts are fit-
ted wholly by members of their
own sex. l notice that some of
your ladies have complained that
awful male clerks paw all over
them while adjusting cloaks upon
them. That is really amusing, and
l must send the clipping home to
the colonies"
