SAFE SARSAPARILLA.
You get Il when you ask for Ayers

man whose name is John Jones, and
who comes into the family as Mr..
John, is dangerous. He's not to be
trusted. It's the same with the
medicine. If it borrows the name
sarsaparilla, because it has a little
sarsaparilIa favor or a sarsaparilla
smell, it's dangerous. It's a fraud.
The man with the mask may be
all right, but you don't want him
around the house.
Masked Medicines,
like masked men, are unknown
quantities. The masked man may
be a philanthropist, wanting to do
his good deeds in secret, and so
choosing night and wearing a mask
that he may hide his benevolence.
He mag be- but the chances are
he's a burglar. The Yelled Prophet
of Khorassan is the type of all these
motley maskers. He yelled his face
on the claim that his beauty was
too rare for the common eye to gaze
on. But underneath the veil was
the face Of a demon. Every sarsa-
parilla that promises healing, but
wears q veil over its formula is of
the yelled prophet class. It's easy
to be a prophet. You have only
to promise. Ayers Sarsaparilla
deals with history. 1t points back
to its fifty years of cures. a
record which cannot be initiated,
as the remedy is, by
Imitation Sarsaparilla.
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the favorite
of the family, because it has a rec
ord which stands for character;
because you know what you are
getting when you get it. Remem-
Der: You don't know what you're
getting unless you get Ayers sar-
saparilla.

NET A HORRIBLE DEATH
Mrs. Prosser in Flames Leaps
From the Window to
the Yard.

Mrs. Annie Prosser Of No. 555 First
street, Hoboken, met death last night in
a horrible manner She was lighting an
Oil stove to prepare supper when it ex-
ploded and the blazing oil was scattered
in all directions. Her clothing was set
on fire.
Mrs. Prosser lived on the top story Of
a three-storied house. Crazy with fear
and pain, she ran from the kitchen, which
was now afire, into a. rear room and
throwing up a window she jumped all
ablaze into the yard in the rear Of the
house. She fell, screaming, on the roof
OF a wagon shed, which broke her fall.
The flames were put out and the woman
was removed to St. Mary's Hospital,
where she died at q late hour last night.
She was a Jewish peddler ana lived
alone. Her husband left her some years
ago, and is now in Germany. The blaze
in the kitchen was quickly extinguished
by the fremen. who were called TO the
scene by an alarm from box No. As.
