WEAK NERVES

Indicate as surely as any physical symp-
tom shows anything, that the organs
and tissues OF the body are not satisfied
with their nourishment,
They draw their sustenance from the
blood, and il the blood is thin, impure,
or insufficient, they are in state OF re-
volt. Their complaints are made TO
the brain. the king OF the body, through
the nervous system, and the result Of
the general dissatisfaction is what we
call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable explana-
ton OF the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have the
healthiul nourishment they crave Ner-
vousness and Weakness viii then give
way to strength and health,
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements Of
thousands cured BY Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla Read the next column.

Not till life's heat has cooled.
The headlong rush slowed to a quiet
pace,
And every purblind passion that had
ruled
Our noiser years, at last,
Spurs us in vain. and, weary of the
race.
We care no more who loses or who
wins
All! not till all the best of life seems
past
The best of life begins,
To toll for only fame.
Hand-clapping and the tickle gusts of
praise,
For place or power or gold to gid
name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring us, where TO
lose our dayS,
We, on whose ears youths passing
bell has tolled,
In blowing bubbles, even as children
do.
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled
us lies
Broken among our childhood's toys,
for then
We win 10 Self-cOntrol!
And mail ourselves in manhood, and
there rise
Upon us from the vast and MINDLESS
height
Those clearer thoughts that are unto
the soul
What stars are to the night.

and Keep the Play Grounds Going.
Three Fairgrounds for children were
maintained in Providence during tho
eummor OF 1894, one each on Smiths
Hill, Atwells avenue, and Vinton street.
They were designed as places where chill
dren confined to the city during the hot
months, and especially children
living in the closely populated districts,
could 60 for recreation and play. Each
ground was under the charge of kinder
gartners, whose influence was to make
the plays orderly and peaceful, and
who mad at their command all the re-
sources of tho kindergarten, TO interest
children and lead them in the right way.
The Fairgrounds were kept omen for six
weeks, with ansaverage attendance of over
ninety ch ldren each week, at total ex-
pcnsc Of tl10 each.
This year 1t is proposed to establish
nine Fairgrounds, three for boys from
10 TO 13 years OF age, and six
men will act as leaders In the boys play
grounds, maintaining order and justice IN
tho sports, teaching new games as we'll as
the best ways OF playing old ones, making
short excursions with the boys to places
OF historic or scenic interest, and acting
