Dangerous USE Of
STRONG PURGAnVES.

Pills and purgatives which act
quickly upon the bowels, irritate
and destroy the mucous Innings
of the stomach and bowels. A
continued use of such remedies
inhames the stomach and bowels.
The use of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is highly
recommended because its action
is due solely to its solvent and
stimulating properties, without
irritating the stomach. Best re-
suits are obtained when outdoor
exercise can be had. Obtain the

Medicine

lance Of special care of the health. \
And fixed among the impor-
tant principles of hygiene and health is
the acknowledged necessity of a good
Spring Medicine.
Just as firmly established by the ex-
periences of millions Of people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is "far and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine ever produced.
The necessity is found in the i'm
pure condition of the blood at this
season, owing to the close confne-
ment and breathing vitiated air in Of
flee, store, shop, house, schoolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery OF life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies, vital
ICES and enriches the blood, builds up
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils up the machinery
of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes out of the back,
the bowels are regulated, the appetite
restored, the food is relished and as
simulated.
Don't wait till you are thoroughly
sick before you begin to take Spring
Medicine.
Lock the door before the horse is
stolen.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla now as a
preventive and it will pay you thou
sand fold in health and strength through
the coming summer.

wished to take the child up the line with

her on the evening. He did not return
home as he promised and Mrs. McKen-

her missing daughter. All attempts to

Frank Miller Arrested,

A man giving his name as Frank Miller
of this city, was arrested yesterday in
Philadelphia on the charge of larceny of a
dress suit belonging to DR., w. S. Agnew
of Chicago. He was in Broad Street sta
ton yesterday morning for the purpose of
taking train for home. With him was a
dress suit case, which he was carrying.
He went 10 tho news stand on the second
floor for the purpose OF purchasing paper
and i'll order not to be incommoded by tho
weight OF the case, placed 1t behind him
on the floor while he selected the paper of
his choice. To purchase u paper occupied
very brief space, but in the interval an
exceedingly slick thief got away with the
grip, and when the Doctor turned around
his property was nowhere in sight. Recog.
nizing the necessity of prompt action, Dr.
Agnew hurried to the Twentieth district
police station, and there told the Sergeant
OF his troubles and the latter detailed PC.
llceman Darrah to accompany the Doctor
in search of Special Policeman Miller and
together they walked down Race street.
Nothing unusual happened until the
pair reached Broad street, when in front
WAS noticed man carrying a dress suit
case This likewise was not unusual
Policeman Darrah at this point suddenly
developed an ability to road the human
soul, and u facility in deduction which is
de: tined to place him in the front rank as
a detective. Something seemed to toll him
that this was the man they were looking
TO, and so he asked Dr.. Agncw whether
the case the man in front was carrying re-
sembled the one that belonged to him. Tho
doctor responded that it did.
reinforced with this information, Police
man Darrah was more than ever convinced
that their search had ended, and despite
the reluctance Of the Doctor, determined
to accost the man with the dress suit case.
Approaching him with an assurance
which did credit to his conviction. he
asked leave to examine the grip. The re-
suit was startling, for closer inspection
proved that IT really was the Doctors
case.
Thus was an apparently hopeless case
ended i'll manner satisfactory to at least
two-thlrds of those involved. The grip
was returned to its rightful owner, and Its
temporary possessor was locked up in the
twentieth district police station, from
which he was later removed to the City
Hall for bearing.
