The Proper Time

When the most benefit is to be de-
rived from good medicine, is early
in the year. This is the season when
the tired body, weakened organs and
nervous system yearn for a building
up medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many wait for the open spring
weather and, in fact, delay giving
attention to their physical condition
so long that long siege of sickness
is inevitable. To rid the system of
the impurities accumulated during
the winter season, to purify the blood
end to inyigorate the whole system,
there is nothing equal to Hoods Sar-
saparilla. Don't put it.off, but take
Hoods Sarsaparilla DOW. 1t will do
you good. Read the testimonials
published in behalf of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, all from reliable, grateful
people. They tell the story.

II have never had a days sickness
in my life,' said a middle-aged man
the other day.
"What a comfort it would be-
sighs some poor invalid, 'sto be in bis
place for a year or two" Yet half
of the invalids we see might be just
as healthy as he, if they would only
take proper care Of themselves, eat
proper food-and digest it.
It's so strange that such simple
things are overlooked by those who
want health.
Food makes health.
1t makes strength-and strength
wards off sickness. The man who
had never been sick was strong be-
cause he always digested his food,
and you could become the same by
helping your stomach to work as well
as his.
It will make you strong and
healthy by making the food you eat
make you fat.

He Was q Business Man Too.

"Well, well, WE'LL" said the large
and pompous man in the corner of the
car, putting aside his newspaper and ad-
dressing the frail and consumptive indi-
yidual across the way. II really think
that of all the long cared jackasses this
country has ever sent to Washington to
play tag in the legislative halls the
present delegation Of congressman holds
the palm. What do you think of that
revenue bill they rushed through the
other week?'
The little man mildly replied that he
had not read it.
Neither have l." said the big man,
"but gchoolboy knows it isn't worth
the paper it's printed on. Now, I've been
making a study of economic questions
for some time and from conversations
with business men I have learned that
business has been steadily picking up Of

and let Wall street and the tariff alone,
we would have prosperity to sell inside
of six months. I am going to read pa
per on this very subject before the Re-
form club next week. It takes the bust
ness men to size up the situation, and
every merchant I've talked with has
told me prospects are frightening. Are
you in business in the city?'

that he was.

the club. I'll tell those fellows thing
OR two about prosperity. BY the way.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I notice from the last issue of your
paper that my name has been 1nen-
toned to the public by Mr.. j. ".
Dreher. The facts are these, that
the case was tried by his fellowman
Derrick; justice was not given. He
was tryer but no justice. I have
list of seventy signers Of Lexington
county that justice was not given in
the case against the Amicks. will
not let card like this 60 by to
please Mr.. Dreher, or any one else.
I will state further, the case investi-
gated by Mr. Dreher against the
Amicks for blockading a public
highway, the said road was located
by an arbitration of six arbitrators,
through Simon Amick's land, and he
obstructed the road that had been
here five years. 1t takes the place
Of another road that has been here
twenty years and more. Mr.. Dreher
said he did not understand the law,
but he would try it anyhow. He dis
missed it at the preliminary hearing
by hearing the defendants side and
not listning to the prosecutors side.
He claimed that it was in a tangle
and would have no more to do
with the case. It was mistake,
my committee said it was in no
tangle.
The Solicitor told Mr.. Dreher to
go on with the case, it was all right,
80 I was informed.
Probably it was stimulus to Mr..
J. W. Dreher, on account of his fel-
lowman Derrick.
My official conduct is just and
honorable and I am always glad to
answer for it at any time.

She was cured of the scarlet fever,

pain seemed to increase. Her suf-

Il was fourteen years old when I

really seemed as if I must succumb
to the pain, and then to make matters
worse, my head ached so badly that

Finally I went to st. Michael's Hos

There are bushes men in Swansea
who are filed with indomitable push

in every respect. They believe in
their town, and a bright future in the
distance is being seen with visions of
a coming and glorious city. And
that day is not far distant. Swansea
is in the front line in the march of
progress and she will there remain
until she finally reaches out far in
the lead There are hundreds of
people living near who know not the
progress Swansea is making, but let
them come in closer touch with us
and they will find friends who are

the improvement of our community.
