 You men of business-you pracu- cal-Who know what money is worth and what this will do. An! my broth- CTS. Here is what we want-poWer to realize our ideals, power to rise out or what We are into what we long to be, power to break away from earthly gravitations and rise into heavenly af-

 ''I stood on the bridge the other day
 when the tide was out. In the center
 of the channel sluggish stream was 1 trying to sustain feeble current. The
 bed of the bay was bare and oozy and
 ugly. The useless boats lay prone and
 motionless. The ships were mired in mud, and in their helplessness every
 spar seemed heavy to It's fall. The long
 spiles of the piers only emphasized the emptiness and desolation of the empty bay that no human reservoirs can fill 1 It seemed to me that everything seem- ed to wait. There was a suggestion Of suspense, an air and attitude of expec- tancy. Then through the open mouth of the bay, the silent tides of the sea | n Gn nh wind into every bend of the shore; they wash under the piers; they lift the lit tie boats into buoyancy and beauty; they float the stranded ships and bear up the busy navies; and the bay is once
 more humming with activities and | smiling in the sun.

Ohio Woman Suffered Great Agony
 From a Terrible Sore-1er Story or
 the Case, and Her Cure.
 "For many years was afflicted with milk leg, and few years ago it broke out in q sore and spread from my foot to my knee. I suffered great agony. It would burn and itch all the time and discharge a great deal. My health was good with the exception of this sore. tried great many kinds of salve, but some would irritate the sore so that could hardly stand the pain. I could not go near the fire without suffering intensely. Some one sent me papers containing testimonials of cures by Hoods Sarsaparilla, and I told my husband I would like to try this med icine. He got me bottls and found it helped me. I kept on taking it until my limb was completely healed. I cannot praise Hoods Sarsaparilla enough for the great benefit it has been to me. It cleanses the blood of all impurities and leaves it rich and pure." MRS. ANNA E. EAKEN, Whittlesey, Ohio.
 You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.
