He who breaks the Sabbath not more
certainly robs God than robs himself.
Inevitably continuous desecration OF
the sacred day ends either in bankruptcy
or destroyed health A great merchant
said, Had it not been for the Sabbath

made in % company Of merchants, and
one of them said: THAT corresponds
with the experience Of my friend, a
great importer. He often said, The Sab
bath is the best day Of the week to plan
successful wages. He has for years
been in an insane hospital, and viii
probably die there. "

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors - How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

STORTZ'S COMPLAINT.
He Has Officer Hayes Arrested on a
Charge Of Battery.

Police Officer George w. Hayes is in
trouble, and it happened, he says, be-
cause he in his capacity of peace guar
dian attempted to maintain quiet.
Hayes was arrested ON complaint of
Peter StortZ, waiter, who charged
him with battery.
Stortz, it seems, formerly worked for
the Schad brothers as waiter in their
restaurant, and through them pur-
chased a sewing machine for his wife.
Yesterday they went to Stortz's room to
get the machine, but the latter refused
to let them have it and held on when
they tried to carry it out.
Hayes was called in, and it is alleged
twisted Stortz's arm until he was COM
PEELED to loosen his hold Subsequent
ly, Stortz had both the Schad brothers
and Hayes arrested for battery. Each
OF the accused deposited $50 for their
appearance in court this morning.

Catarrh by the use OF so-called blood
remedies? That catarrh is not caused
by blood troubles is self-evident when
you reflect that attacks are always due
to sudden climatic changes or expos

the winter and spring, though the blood
is as pure then as in summer or fall.
A remedy which quickly relieves and
