Nervousness

Is only another name for impure blood, for 10 person is weak and ner- vous whose blood Is perfectly pure.
 When the blood is full of the gerIns 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- vousness?
 Of course Scrofula, Salt Rheunn, Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni- versally recognized as blood diseases, for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the best blood purifier, Is everywhere Rcknowled the greatest remedy.
 Therefore, as Hoods SarsapaIilla cures all blood diseases, it is the best remedy for thatcondition of the blood which causes Nervousness.
 It is a false idea to think you are curing your nervousness when you are taking a preparation which only quiets your nervesl It is like trying to "drown" your sorrows in the flowing bowl. They are sure to return.
 We wish to make most impressive, fhen, this truism:
 You cannot purify your blood by DEADENLEG or QUILTING your nerves with opiate, narcotic or nerve con- pounds. If you take such articles you are only TRFLNG with your troubles. There is SURE to be RE4o- TIoN which will leave you worse than you were before.
 Why not then, take the true course, follow the bee line to the state of Lealth, purify your blood and cure Your Nervousness by taking

Of the country in respect 70 a choice for
the nomination for President at Chicago
Indicate that Gov. Boles OF Iowa Is the
favorite- He has been prominently men
toned for a number or years in connec-
ton with the presidency. He is very
popular ia his state. and has much more
than state reputation. Although he is
an out and out silver man. he has some
doubt as 10 whether it would be advisa-
bic TO commit the democratic party to

vention Of IoSa he offered a resolution
against Is to declaration. but it was
not accepted.
Gov. Boies' friends have been working
persistently for him for more than
year. They have not conducted as sue
cessfuI a campaign for him. however.
as Mr.. Hanna has for Gov. Mckinley.
Still, it is apparent that they have not
been idle.
Gov. Boies would be much safer man
as President than Mr. Bland Of Missouri.
and a much more popular one. Mr.. Bland
has had only one idea connected with
public matters for years-that of making
silver the standard money of the coun-
try. Whatever reputation he has achieved
in public life has been I'm connection with
silver legislation. His friends will make
a strong effort to nominate him, but they
viii not meet with much success.
A compromise candidate like William
r. Morrison OF Illinois. or ex-Gov. Camp
bell of Ohio would not be satisfactory to
the silverites. They may have support
ers among the sound money delegates,
but from present Indications neither Of
them has a chance for the nomination.
They are not sufficiently radical on the
silver question to suit the silverites. If,
however, the silver element should not
have a two-thirds majority. and the
sound money element should insist upon
enforcing the two-thirds rule. Mr.. Camp
bell or Mr.. Morrison might come to the
front The talk of Vice President Ste
venson amounts to little. The popularity
he once had has almost disappeared. His
refusal to state his views on the silver
question has driven what support he had
away from him.

The sermon of Rev. Mr.. Schaeffer, deliv-
cred Sunday morning and reported in part
in the Morning News yesterday. should
receive the careful attention of parents
and police Of this city, because there is
no other city in the United States where
children are permitted TO run in the
streets at night as they are in Savannah.
Boys and girls, white and black, are al
lowed to be out in the streets until a late
hour. 1t is difficult to understand why
respectable people should be so indifer-
ent to the welfare of their children.
DO they not realize that harm may come
to them, that impressions may be gained
and habits formed that will spoil their
lives? They cannot help knowing it, and
yet hundreds of parents, who read Mr..
schaeners sermon yesterday morning, will
not be Influenced in the least by the adj
vice it contains. The police have become
so accustomed to children romping through
the streets at night, and playing all sorts
Of mschievous pranks, that they pay but
little attention to them or their conduct.
What with the carelessness Of parents
in this respect. and in the bars in club
rooms, the youth of Savannah, who
arrives at maturity in a reasonably good
physical and moral condition is to be
congratulated. Often young men have to
leave their homes and make a start
elsewhere in order to get free from the
habits and associations OF boyhood.
DR.. schaeffer is on the right track. He
can benefit the community greatly by
preaching just such sermons as that Of
last Sunday He can't say too much
about keeping children out of the streets
at night. If he could put this thought in
the minds of every parent, namely,
where is my boy tonight" he would do
a world of good.

Every employer should read Col. Car
rards appeal that is published among the
special notices this morning, 1t is brief,
but to the point.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards have
been ordered to Camp Northen for seven
DAYS, for instruction. The battalion must
so or be disbanded.
Savannah cannot permit that old COM
mand, of which she is so justly proud, to
be disbanded. Her business men and cor
porations in whose employment most of
the members Of the battalion are. should
at once notify all those of their employees
in the Guards, whom they can by any
possibility spare. to get ready to go to
Camp Northen, and they should, at the
same time tell them that the time at camp
will not be taken out of their vacation
time.
President Conner of the Central and
Supt Durham of the Plant system have
already adopted that course. Their exam
pie is a good one to follow. They under
stand the necessity for aiding the mill
tary organizations. So does every other
employer. There have been times when
they We're needed greatly and they re-
sponded promptly. They may be needed
again
The time given TO instruction at Camp
Northen is not long-only an average OF
three days and a half year Employees
can well afford TO give that amount Of
/ time to increasing the efficiency of the
( military organizations. Let the command
go with enough men to make a splendid
! showing.

that it looked as if the silverites would

Mr. duBisnon's Experiences.


Mr.. dufignon speaks of his experiences
during the campaign that closed
with the primary elections as being
rich" and doubtless they We're. Some
of the speeches he heard in advocacy of
the silver side by demagogues who sought
to mislead the people by every conceiva-
BILE means would make interesting read
ing. The campaign in this and other
states was remarkable for the extraordi-
nary appeals TO passion and prejudice and
for the misstatements made by many of
the silver speakers. These silver speech
makers knew they were talking on
subject of which the people knew little,
and therefore they felt at liberty to make
the most unreasonable statements with
out fear of appearing ridiculous in the
estimation of their audiences. They knew,
also. that large portion of the people,
particularly those living IN the country
districts, are dissatisfied because they
are not more prosperous, and are ready
to accept any change with the hope that
it will bring better times. Ii was an easy
matter to convince people in such
frame Of mind that Cleveland and Car
Isle are leagued with Wall street and
the money power for the purpose of main
tanning the gold standard, that the hard
times are due TO gold and the gold bugs,
and that the only hope for prosperous
times is in making an unlimited quantity
of 5O-cent dollars.
In some sections Of the country, in
fact, many sections, there is an entire
misunderstanding of what is meant by
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l. That this is true is graphically
illustrated in letter received by a Ken
lucky congressman from a correspondent
in that state, and published in the Wash
ington Post. According to this
letter. controversy was be-
ing waged between sound
money man and a silver champion. The
gold man thought he had the best of
the argument. He asked his adversary
why he thought that the free coinage of
silver would make times better. Simply
because it would put more money in cir
culation," said the white metal crank.
but how will it put more money in cir
culation?" demanded the gold man.
'How?" asked tire silver man, with a
smile of contempt at his opponent.
how? Why, you blamed fool, if you
can take one gold dollar to the treas
ury and get sixteen silver dollars for it,
won't that increase the circulation"
We do not know that Mr.. duBignon, in
his campaign experiences, heard any of
the silver orators tell the people that
silver coinage at the ratio of 10 to l meant
that sixteen silver dollars would be given
for a gold dollar at the treasury, but
doubtless he heard statements from sill
verites equally ridiculous.
If the times were as good as they were
very soon after the repeal of the sher-
man silver purchasing act, the sound
money democrats would have obtained
control of the Chicago convention with
ease. The silver sentiment thrives on hard
times. Prosperous times would destroy it
just as better times put an end to the
| greenback craze.
