lre Blood

Is absolutely necessary in order to have
good health. The greatest affection OF
the human race is impure blood.
There are about 2400 disorders Incl
dent to the human frame, the large
majority arising from the impure Oh
poisonous condition of the blood.
The best remedy for all blood dis
eases is found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Its remarkable cures are its loudest
praise. 1t is not what we say but
what Hoods Sarsaparilla does that
tells the story.
No remedy has ever had so marked
success, or won such enormous sales.
Scrofula in its severest forms yields
to its potent powers, blood poisoning
and salt rheum and many other diseases
are permanently cured by it. For a
general Spring Medicine to remove
those impurities which have accumu-
lated during the winter, or to overcome
That Tired Feeling, nothing equals

A Splendid Chance.

Everybody who is weak. delicate OF
sickly wants to get well. DR.. Greene,
of "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass,
makes a speciality of treating patients
through letter correspondence. The wi
sest thing all suffering people can do is
to write the Doctor, stating just how
they feel, mentioning every symptom of
which they complain, and he will ans
wer the letter, explaining each symptom
and desert bling the case SO thoroughly
that patients understand their complaint
as well as though they had talked with
the Doctor. He makes his explanations
SO clear that they cannot help but an
derstand just what ails Inc, and he tells
exactly what to do to get well. 1t saves
. journey to the city aud DOCTORS fees,
aad costs nothing. DR.. Greene is the most
successful specialist IN curing nervous
and chronic diseases. He is the discov-
erar of that wonderful medicine, DR..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rene
dy. Thousands are being cured through
kis perfect system of letter cores
pondence. 1t has been proved successful.

HIGHER PRICED SHOES.
The Increase Attributed TO the Greater
Cost Of Leather.

Tho Increase Attributed TO the Greater
Cost of Leather.
An advance In tho price Of shoes has
been caused by tho increase In the price Of
leather during the last year or more. From
conversations held by reporter with Sow
eral New York manufacturers, jobbers
and retailers 10 appears that this advance
was caused by the exorbltant demands Of
what is commonly known AZ the Leather
trust. This trust, which IL called the
United States Leather company, Is COM
pared with the Sugar trust, tho Chicago
cattle combine and other great business
monopolies. 1t controls between 90 and 80
tannories, or about 80 per cent Of all the
tanneries In the country, and has n capital
stock Of over $3.50, 600, 900. It's officers say
that the great cause OF the advance In the
prices Of leather Is the decline Of the cattle
industry, both at home and abroad. A
few years ago, they say, every one who
could command the necessary capital went
into cattle raising on big ranches and on
an extensive scale. Soon, according to
their allegations, the business became so
overdone that 1t was no longer profitable,
and many owners Of ranches were COM
PEELED TO abandon them entirely at great
loss.
A leading Wholesale dealer In fine do
nestle, imported and other shoe leather
said: EVERY kind of leather used In max
ing shoes has been steadily advancing In
price for the Last 10 or 10 months. The
price for glazed kid has advanced from 10
to 80 per cent, according 10 the grade OF
stock. Women's shoes, which were former
ly made of pebble goat, prunella and vari-
Gus other materials are now noarly entire
ly made of black or fancy oolored kid,
which requires much larger number Of
small skins, a scarcity of which naturally
causes an increase Of prices. Shoepskins
and calfsklns have undergone correspond
ing advance. Cowhide and cole leather,
which arc used in the manufacture Of the
cheaper grades of boots and shoes, have
advanced over 100 per cent"
Some manufacturers with whom the re-
porter oonversed said that tho advance In
the price of shoes began about four months
ago, when they were compelled to increase
their prices from 10 to 30 cents pair, ao-
cording to the grades Of the shoes, but
that the advance had been mainly confined
to shoes Of tho medium and lower grades.
The advance up TO date, therefore, mainly
affected those who wear the heavier and
coarser grades, which require In their
manufacture thicker uppers and soles.
Thin shoes of patent leather and similar
material, with light soles, have not yet
been seriously affected.

with one hand The muscular labor in
cooking as you must know. is consid-
erably under the usual condition. 1t is
no more labor now for me to WELD my
kitchen battery than to wash the china
or dust the bric-a-brac. Another import
ant advantage is what the scientific peo-
pie call the heat receptivity of my al
minimum pots and pans. 1 can cook in
half the time. This not only is apparent
in my gas bills, which I don't pretend
to underValue, but in the economy of my
time, which is of even more value"
Another consideration is an important
one when one is cooking in a corner and
space is limited, one needs fewer cook
ing utensils. For example. since my
pretty sauce pans do not easily scorcn,
do not have to have double kettles for
rice and porrfdge, nor bainsmaries for
other things. The first cost of my alumi-
mum pots and pans is expensive and ma
turally I do not want to buy more than
I need. The first expense of the neces-
sary articles ] am more than willing to
undergo. In the. first place to save my
self drudgery: in the second place be-
cause 1 like to think of my nourishment
coming out Of pots as pure as porcelain;
in the third place for they are pract:c-
ably indestructible and I expect to use
them during the rest of my natural ex-
iStence"

On the other hand there IS no novelist

they are churned with stick and alkali
