Tired, Weak, Nervous,

too much strain on brain and body
The only way to cure is to feed the
nerves OH pure blood. Thousands OF
people certify that the best blood puri
fer, the best nerve tonic and strength
builder is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
it has done for others it will also dc
for you-Hoods Cures.
Nervousness, loss of sleep, loss of
appetite and general debility all dis
appear when Hoods Sarsaparilla is
persistently taken, and strong nerves
sweet sleep strong body, sharp appe
tite, and in a word, health and happi
ness follow the use of Hoods Sarsa

The strong point about Hoods Sar
Saparilla is that they are permanent
because they start from the solid foun
dation of purified, vitalized and en-
riched blood.

WEATHER REPORT.
CENTRAL STATION,
DES MONIES, Iowa, May 8, 1895.

DES MONIES, IOWA, May q, 1870.
The past week has been unseason-
ably warm, with frequent and copious
showers. The daily average tempera-
ture ranged ten to twelve degrees
above the normal, and every district
reports rainfall from one to three
inches.
All crops have received great benefit
from this excess of heat and moisture
Corn planting has been delayed by the
the showers, but it is well advanced in
all parts Of the state. In the early
planted fields corn is well started
showing fine stand; and in some sec
lions the work of cultivation is com
menced. All reports indicate con-
siderable increase of corn acreage.
In some sections cut and wire worms
have begun their ravages at an unus,
uaIly early date, and in small area
chinch bugs are reported at work in
the rye fields.
All small grain crops are unusually
promising. Pastures and meadows
show vigorous growth, wherever the
plants have not been winter killed OIL
burned out by the drouth. All the
forces Of nature seem TO be doing theiI
best to repair damages of the past
year.

We have often noticed. in strolling
around among the stores on Saturday
afternoon, the great number OF ladies
shopping, who live in town, and we
have always wondered why they went
at that time, when the stores are full of
customers and the clerks are working
to their utmost capacity to wait on
everyone. Is it because women enjoy
the hustle, the noise and confus ion,
which always 60 with crowd or, is it
because Saturday afternoon is the only
time during the week which they can
come down town. They certainly are
placed at a disadvantage, and il they
would 60 on any other day in the week
or even Saturday forenoon they could
be served much better, take all the
time they wanted, find the stock of
goods in much better condi-
ton to show, they could be better
suited, see verifying and need not
decide in a hurry. They certainly
must know that they will find the store,
very busy Oh Saturday afternoon for
that is the time the greatest number Of
ladies from the country are in buying
their supplies. We wer4 speaking to i
prominent merchant about it few
days ago and he said he could not eX,
plain it and had often wondered why i;
was so. He said that the ladies, wbo
live in town should be good enough e
let the ladies from the country have al
least one day in the week; if they could
have the other five, and for his part h
considered that his time and his clerk
time rightly belonged to his country
trade on Saturday and that he did not
make it a point to wait upon town
trade as long as there was any trade
from the country who had not been
waited upon-not because lie considered
a country customers money or trade
worth any more or less than one living
in town, but slots of my customers he
said "come ten, fifteen, or even more
miles to trade with me, they have co me
on this particular day because they
know that they will see all their friends
and relatives who live in other parts of
the county-so far away in fact that
this is their only opportunity of seeing
them at all-and to get their mail and
papers. Besides Saturday is the most
convenient day they can leave their
work and come to town. While the
women who live in town probably have
only about block or at the most three
blocks to go and could no doubt 60 on
Tuesday, Wednesday or most any other
day just as well as ON Saturday if they
would only make little effort and do
a little planning"
