The Most important

Matter demanding attention at this
season is the condition of your blood.
Your health depends upon it, for as
the quality and quantity of the blood
vary, you are better or worse.
The blood conveys all the elements
which GO to make up the organs, nerves
and tissues of the body, and carries
away all dissolved, useless material.
Every bone, muscle, nerve and tissue,
lives upon what the blood feeds to it.
The whole world knows that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the standard remedy
for making pure blood.
It possesses merit peculiar to itself

cures even when other preparations
fail. When YOU Huy your spring medi-

WASHINGTON, Fob i4.-The senate be-
gan its session yesterday with % spirited
discussion OF the financial question, mt
soon turned its attention to the postoiiice
appropriation bill and spent the rest of
the day on the proposition to have the
government own railway postal cars. Mr..
Villas (Wis) brought on the financial dis
cussion by Offering a bill granting to the
president the authority he has requested
in his recent message for issuing 3 per cent.
bonds payable in gold Mr. Sherman (O)
offered a substitute to the silver bill re-
ported on Tuesday, providing for gold
bonds and temporary gold certificates.
The two Colorado senators, Mr. Teller and
Mr.. Wolcott, called attention to the fact
that the syndicate of bankers who had Sc
cured control of these bonds were now
marketing them in London at 112%, thus
making a net profit of per cent. at the
outset, The debate brought out frequent
references to the contract between the
treasury department and the bankers, and
as a result Mr. Aldrich Or. l. offered a
resolution calling on the president for a
copy of the contract. 1t was agreed to take
the vote on the pending amendments as to
| railway postal service at o'clock today.
The house devoted the day to business
relating to the District of Columbia, and
with but one exception was featureless.
| During the debate Mr. Van Voorhis IN.
Y } secured the floor and introduced reso-
tion calling upon the committee on ways
and means to. furnish to the house the
contract of the. recent bond negotiation,
and such other information as the secre-
tary of the treasury had communicated to
the committee. Mr.. Wilson informed the
house that the majority report on the
joint resolution providing for per cent.
gold bonds, which had been favorably
acted upon by the committee, would con-
tain copy of the much discussed contract.
