Hoods Sarsapari||a

PEELED to cut her hair, a. she could not
bear the weight Of 1t. At first the change
for the better was very gradual; the pains
seemed. to be less frequent and the SWELL
ing in some Of the joints subsided after
using about one bottle. Then improve
ment was more rapid and one night she
surprised US greatly by telling US that we
need not prop her up in bed as we had
one for several months, and next night
she surprised US still more by rolling
over across the bed. From that time on
improvement was Very Rapid
and she soon began to creep about the
house and then to walk on crutches. Now
she generally uses but one crutch, the dis
ease having left one leg crooked, and fear
1t will remain 30. We feel that to Hoods
Sarsaparilla we owe our child's life.

Newark Beer NickeIs.

Anybody can make money like that, y
said a street car conductor in Newark to o
passenger on the rear platform as he hand
ed him back bogus nickel.
THAT $ good-no, 1t amt either. There s
something wrong about it. It's made
backward" said the passenger, studying
the coin.
"That's just what is the matter, said
the conductor. That's what we used to
call beer nickel in the shop where
worked last. The boys used to make them
noontimcs and spend them one at time
for lager. Good nickels are made of very
hard metal, and the boys knew 1t. They
got soft German silver blanks just the size
of q cent piece and then made % sand
wich Of two nickcls and blank. They'd
lay the three pieces under n drop press and
give them one bang, or put them under a
screw press and squeeze them hard. The
result would be queer nickel, like you We
got there. The figures on the good nickcls
would be squeezed into the soft blank.
The bogus pieces would pass easily for
worn nickeIs. III bet there are hundreds
of them in circulation in Newark. New
