had known all along it was coming, yet
1t struck him blow all the same, for,
beside the inevitable, uncertainty be-
comes almost hope.
She announced the news at breakfast

dearest object in life.
She looked neither at her father nor
at Yelverton, but as several of the men

different diseases. But the begin
ming OF them all is poison in the
blood.
Generally the poison can be fill
tered out by the kidneys.
A headache may be simply an un-
important pain. or the agony may
be SO excrutia;iug as almost 10 drive
one frantic. Rheumatic folks have
headache, hard workers have head
ache, people who drink too much tea
and coffee, or use too much tobacco,
have headache, folks who worry, or
get too excited, have headache.
Headache is relieved by nervines,
sedatives and other drugs.
But not cured.
a cure requires the poison to be
filtered out of the blood The cause
must he taken away. The kidneys
be made TO do their duty.
The only medicine that will do
this is DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
Pills.
The reason is that they are
made principally from the roo,
OF the asparagus. one of the
most wonderful kidney tonics and
and curatives known. aud prepared
in certain way which uses all the
curative principal of the plant.
Headache is irritation of the nerves
by a poison. Curing it is taking
away the poison.
DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills
are not what is called Il Headache
| cure" but they cnre the kidneys and
make them filter the blood.
They take away the poison. They
make headache impossible.
After the pain is gone prevent it
from coming back. This is the mis-.
sion OF DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
Pills.
If you have n headache. make up
yonr mind that something is wrong.
You may be rheumatic or have
anamia, govt, kidney disease, or
other disorders of impure blood.
Headache is often first symptom.
Relieving it doesn't prevent the dis
ease from progressing.
Curing it does.
Poor, thin, Infiltered poisonous
blood causes headaches, neuralgia,
and other nerve diseases, bv depriv-
ing the nerves of food.
Good. rich, pure blood makes
strong. healthy, vigorous nerves,
body and constitution.
On the kidneys depend the purity
of your blood.
Ga DR.. Hobbs Sparagus Kidney
Pills may depend the health of your
kidneys.
There is no other medicine in the
world that is ust ike DIR. Hobbs
Sparagus Kidney Pills.
They act so quickly and certainly
on the seat of the trouble. They are
so absolutely harmless and gentle in
action. They cure in so many cases
where all other medicines have
| failed.
They are wonderful medicine.
No one has been able TO explain
Just what there is about asparagus
that has such good effect on the
kidneys.
But every physician knows its ef-
feets. and everybody who has tried

knows that their curative power can
hardly be exaggerated.

THE BIG FAIR.
Arrangements Are Now Completed for
Wo0nsOckei'S Gala Week.


The program for the three days fair OF
the Woo socket Agricultural Society
this week has been perfected, and there
is no doubt but that II will prove attrac-
tive and call out a very liberal patronage.
No fair ever held in northern Rhode
Island has offered 50 varied and excellent
a program, and the special features es-
pecially are attracting widespread atten-
tion.
No bicycle meeting in the State can
compare with the one to be held at the
fair grounds Tuesday afternoon and even
ing and "Wednesday evening.
The list OF fast horses, too, is the
largest ever called together in the State,
excepting one or two meetings in Prov
ioence, and tho announced attempt OF a
Woonsocket horse-Billy Frazier TO
beat the track record on Thursday after
noon is attracting widespread attention.
The whippet races, with the fastest dogs
In America, will be given every afternoon
and evening.
Pigeon races will occur every afternoon
at O'Clock.
The wonderful Japs will give stage
performance, lasting an hour and nall,
every afternoon and evening.
Th9 athletic events on Wednesday even
ing, under the auspices OF st. Andrews
brotherhood, are alone one OF the most
notable attraction ever witnessed In the
State, and there will be great interest in
the contests by noted cracks.
The harvest festival and grand illumi-
nation on Wednesday evening, and a
competitive drill by famous French mill
tary organizations Thursday night are
also special features tnat viii doubtless
fiji the park.
On account of the many other day
track events the running horses will
appear only evenings, and every evening.
All this Ia in addition TO the regular
features OF the fair, every department OF
which is filling better than in former
years.
The Consolidated Railroad has posted
excursion rates from Providence to Wo,-
cester, and the New England road will
oti' " ho"hN up uhN "N'hA'"'S" N'N"N>
from eli points in this vicinity.
The society offers patrons full value, Tor
gold or silver, this year, and Its 3lst
annual exhibition ought 10 he signal
success, because the public is quick 10
manifest progressiveness and liberality of
the kind shown by the fair committee
for 1926.
The NY, N. II. * II. railroad will run
a special excursion train from Boston
tomorrow with admission to the fair, all
for 50 cents round trip. The biggest
bicycle meet known ia this section of
the country will be the mai1 attract ion.

Eond Racing.

As long as human nature remains as 1t
Is, the road race, however deprecated, will
hold it's koguc Hero is what The Ameri-
can Cyolist says of it:
"Somo things are TO be said against IL.
II Is dangerous. It breeds that internal
nuisance, the everyday scorcher. 1t per'
verts the use of tho highways, and so on.
But, nevertheless, road racing seen In its
true light Is a glorious sport beside which
all track racing can only appear pitifully
small and circumscribcd. Competition on
the road generates IA caloric or something
which fires the rider with an enthusiasm
seldom If ever witnessed in the track racer.
There is fascination about tho sport
which seems TO almost overpower those
who permit themselves 10 indulge in it,
You may break his machine or break his
head, cut and maui him and run over him
with the steam roller, but just as sure as
your hardened road racer RECEIVERS sufii-
ciently to cross wheel he will up and at
it again"
