The match game of base ball played
here Friday afternoon between the
freshman team Of Trinity College aud
.'our boys" resulted in victory for
the visitors by score of Is to 2. If
all the errors made on both sides had
been counted the GOLD LEAF would
not be large enough to contain report
of the game if a detailed account was
given. Mr.. ThOrnwell Lanier, of Ok
ford, was umpire, and his decisions
were fair and impartial.

A Man Who is Tired

All the time, owing to impoverished blood,
should take Hoods Sarsaparilla to purify
and enrich his blood and give him vitality
and vigOr.
This condition of weakness and lack Of
energy is a natural consequence of the
coming warmer weather. which finds the
system debilitated and the blood impure.
A good spring medicine is necessity
with almost everyone. Hood 5 Sarsapa-
rilla is what the millions take in the
spring. Its great power to purify and ell
rich the blood and build up health is one
of the facts of common experience.
We Can and Should Raise our Own
Hay.
The GOLD LEAF has always conten-
ded that as fine grass aud clover can

"Going into decline" How often do
we hear this expression. What does it
mean? 1t means that people are losing
flesh, growing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition is to
improve the digestion. The condition
arises from an inability to eat and digest
food. In fact food does more harm than
good because it ferments and putreifies
in the stomach, developing poisonous
substances which, when absorbed, caus
various disorders. ::
What is required is that the stomach
be made to perform its duties. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial is food al
ready Gigested and a digester OF foods as
we'll. 1t will make the stomach healthy.
