FACTS ABOUT HEALTH

1t is Easy 10 Keep Well if We Know
How Some o9 the Conditions Neces-
sary to Perfect Health.
The Importance Of maintaining good
health is easily understood, and 1t il
really simple matter if we take a cor
rect view of the conditions required.
In perfect health the stomach promptly
digests food. The blood IS employed to
carry nourishment to the organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need 1t.
The first great essential for good health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No med1-
cine has such record of cures as Hood s.
Sarsaparilla and it is because it is the one
true blood purifier. Hundreds OF people
are alive and well today who would have
been in their graves had they not taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t is depended upon
as family medicine by thousands.

wYoM1NG's NICKEL MINE.
Deposit of the Metal Being Worked
Near Sheridan.

Sheridan, Wyo., Oct. 20.-Great inter
est is being taken throughout northern
Wyoming in the operations of the
Nickel Refining company on Piney
creek, near this place On Monday last
the company received a carload Of fine
machinery, which is being freighted to
the mines and will be put in operation
at once. The machinery consists Of
drills, air compressors, dynamos. etc.
Mr.. c. Frank Mclaughlin. manager Of
the company. states that q contract has
been let for 100000 feet of lumber, with
which fumes VIII be built to carry
water to run the dynamos. which will
generate electricity to operate the min
ing machinery. The Nickel Refining
company is composed Of wealthy New
Jersey men, who have had experts ex-
anime the ore which is being mined,
and have had mill tests made which
have demonstrated its value beyond d
doubt Nickel is found in the ore, but
not in sufficient quantities to justify the
erection OF a plant. It is believed, how
ever, that as the vein is gone down on
this ore Will increase in value, and if
the theory proves to be correct q large
establishment viii be put up at the
mines. The product of the mine is used
in nickel plating establishments in the
east. and there is an immense demand
for it
