Among the arts that have most DOW
erfully served to advance the social
evolution of primitive peoples is that Of
the dance. Doctor Crosse, a German
authority in ethnography, has recent
ly pointed out how important dancing
is in attracting rude folk, accustomed
TO gain their living principally by hunt
ing, to social gatherings which result
in cooperation for other purposes.
Dancing among such people is a far
more significant thing than it is among
civilized races. The fondnesS for dane
ing may be looked upon as a most i'm
portant agent in the early development
of mankind. But what is the natural
charm of the dance which has given
1t such conspicuous place in social
evolution? According to Doctor Crosse,
the charm consists simply in 1.-THE pleas
TIRE of strong and rhythmical move
ments. the pleasure of imitation, and
the pleasure of giving vent to the feel
ings."
These are identical with the attrac-
tionS of art, and so the dance is ranked
among the important arts of primitive
man. The passion for dancing is one
of the strongest that he feels.
In civilized life the dance retains it's
charm, but it is as different in its in
fuence and in its effect upon the dane
ers as it is in form. AS civilized peo-
pie practice it. of course, dancing no
longer serves the original needs,
which, in fact, have then practically
disappeared.

Prevention VS.. Cure.

Most people are quick to see the need
tened itself upon them, or when they
are Frustrated by some epidemic. 1t is
not everyone, however, who realizes
the Importance of keeping the body
in such state Of health that it will be
able at all times to resist the attacks
Of disease. 1t is when the system is
weakened by overwork or worry, caus-
ing loss Of appetite, etc, when it is
greatly debilitated. or "all run down, -
that the danger of serious sickness
and heavy doctors bills is to be feared.
On the other hand, If perfect health
can be maintained, the blood kept
pure, and the circulation good, the APP
petite normal and the spirits cheerful,
there will be no occasion to fear the
grip, pneumonia, diphtheria or any
similar ailment. AS a means of keep
ing the body in just this condition Of
health no better agent has yet been
found than that great blood purifier
and strength builder, Hoods SarSa-
parilla. While it is true that Hoods
Sarsaparilla Cures it is equally true
that Hoods Sarsaparilla prevents
sickness, and this truth is of supreme
Importance to ALL Mrs. c. c. Roles, Of
Wauregan, Conn, writing to the pro-
prietors of Hoods Sarsaparilla, stated
the case most concisely when she said:
1--WE don't wait until we are sick, but
take Hoods Sarsaparilla to prevent
sickness" Certainly, prevention is far
better than cure.

Or, IN other words, Hoods Sarsaparilla,
Is universal need. If good health is to
be expected during the coming season
the blood must be purified now. All the
germs of disease must be destroyed and
