THE PROPER TIME

When the most benefit is to be derived
from. a good medicine, is early in the
year. This is the season when the
tired body, weakened organs and nerV-
Gus system yearn for a building-up
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many wait for the open spring weather
and, in fact, delay giving attention 10
their physical condition so long that
long siege of sickness is inevitable
To rid the system of the impurities ac-
cumulated during the winter season.
TO purify the blood and to inv1gorate
the whole system, there is nothing
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Don
put it off, but take Hoods Sarsaparllla
now. 1t will do you good. Read the
testimonials published in behalf or

The HiIO Shoot.

News was received by the Ha-
wall yesterday that after nine men
of the Hilo team had shot in the
match with Company B last Sat
urday it was found that the score
stood 1872. This was very surpris-
ing to Captain Austin who imme-
diately had the target examined.
1t was soon found out that Is and
IS had been made but that the ma
tive marker had been bribed to
paste them up and call the Is and
IS, As and 5s respectively. The
native boy was sharply questioned
about the matter but nothing fur
Their than the fact that he had
been bribed, could be learned.
Captain Austin was hot after the
person, whoever he might be,
when the Hawaii sailed for this
port. The Hilo rifiemen will shoot
over again tomorrow and at that
time it will be sought to secure a
reliable marker.
