NOT As BAD As ALCOHOL.
The Opinion Arrived at by the British Royal
Commission in Regard TO Opium.

London, June 1.-THE recent puhlica
non by the British government of the
Blue Books, containing the report u the
royal commission on opium, must be re-
garded as the most important and valua-
ole contribution to the history and litera-
turc of opium and its uses which has ever
been made. Ii is the outcome of an agita-
ton reused by English philanthropists on
account Of the alleged decentralization
caused by the use of opium i'll India and
China.
This agitation has been kept up for more
than 20 years by the Anti Opium league
which was organized by Lord Shaftcsbury
in 1873. The original object of this society
was the limitation of the growth and
manufacture of opium in British India,
and especially the suppression of the trade
in opium on the ground that it was great
source of decentralization.
So far as the charges by the Anti Opium
league against the British government tor
creating the demand for opium in China
are concerned, it is proved by abundant
evidence that the people of China had
used opium for centuries before England
had secured foothold in India From
the evidence before them, the commission
declined to recommend any action tend
ing to the destruction of the trade
The commission thinks that India could
not withsteu I'D the loss of revenue which
would result from stoppage of the indus
try.
In reply to the question, whether the
growth of the poppy and the manufacture
and sale of opium in British India should
be prohibited, except for medical purposes,
and whether this prohibition could bc OK
tended to the native states, the commits
sion states that it has not been shown by
the evidence to be demanded by the people
to be necessary that prohibition should be
enforced, except for medical purposes
The number who desire prohibition at thu
risk of its financial and political results Is
small

ONE FOOD FOR BABY.
June Heat Must Not Weaken
Baby's Stomach.
Strength an Absolute Necessity Dur
ing the Summer.
Safety lies in taetated Food and Perfect
Cleanliness.

No mother needs to be told OF all the
babes that die before they reach the age of
five 1t is one of tho solemn vcrities that
just now is bringing anxiety to so many
homes and to mothers, an agony Of dread
that they dare not confess even to Them
selves.
Yet 1t Is certain that today by the exer-
else of care In securing tho proper nour-
ishing diet and absolute cleanliness
warm weather is In countless households
robbed OF Its perlls and made rs beautiful
for the little ones as for those of maturer
years.
In homes wherever lactated food is used
no form OF diarrhoeal disease enters. This
is a noteworthy fact. The reason Is that
this highly nutritious, predigested and
palatable food is the most perfect substi-
tuto for pure mothers milk 1t is easily
assimilated by the infant stomach. It
keeps Up tho little ones strength. and as
1t contains not a particle of impurity.
these two great causes of cholera infsntum
and diarrhoca are absolutely avoided.
The lamentable jump in the infant
death rate at the first advent of warm
weather Is traceable TO wholly preyen-
table causes.
All diarrhooal diseases. whether cholera
iniantum, diarrhoea or summer COM
plant. are prevcntable In infants by n
diet Of lacated food. Physicians emphati.
cally say So
High temperature alone cannot breed
these disorders. II simply weakens tho
child's digestion and all ows diarrhoca to
enter as soon AS the little one is oyerfed
and its digestive system burdened by n
poorly nourished diet The first signs of
looseness or apparent loss of strength arc
critical times in every baby's existence.
Lactated food has saved countless little
ones in such extrcmities.
When teething, and during hot wealth
or, when babies are most caprioious In
their appetite, they take lacataed food
with relish when nothing else will tempt
them Physicians, twill be found, feed
their own children ON lactated food. The
fact known to physicians from the start,
that lactated food was prepared under the
personal supervision of no less man than

Nervousness

Is only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
vousnessI
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition Of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is a false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking a preparation which only
ouiets your nervesl 1t is like trying to
"drown" your sorrows in the flowing
bowl. They are sure to return.
We wish to make most impressive,
then, this trllism:
You cannot purify your blood by

YOU are only THRILLING with your
