Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely a sim

Besides these excellent Alternatives, il
also contains those great anti bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.

Not only does Stubs refuse to tender
his resignation as Grand Commander and
member Of the history committee, though
recommended to do So by the verdict of
the Investigating committee, but with
stubborn pertinacity he proclaims his in
nocence, and leaves the Judgment of his
guilt to the verdict of the people of Viz
ginia. In doing this he seals his fate.
Five men whose very names are guaran-
tees of good faith, and upon whose char.
acters never a breath of suspicion has
ever rested, after careful and 'painstak-
ing investigation have unanimously de-
cided against him. Upon this verdict of
pure and able men will be based the
opinion of all Nirginians. Until further
proofs of innocence can be adduced, any
appeal from it would be .senseless, and
he will find the commonwealth n unit in
backing the decision of those who have
given the case n fair and impartial trial.

of religion and with these two, any one
may secure n perfectly healthy physique.
Religion has been greatly underyalued
as a means of happiness and health, or
worse yet, confounded with religious con-
troversy and bigotry, which are not re-
ligion at all, but its very opposite. We
are accustomed TO sing in well known
hymn that
Prayer is the Christians vital breath,
The Christians native air,
but how seldom we realize the full mean
ing of this truth If we were true Chris
tians prayer would indeed be To us our
vital breath and that for the body as well
as the soul.
A story is told of woman who not long
ago found herself in danger of nervous
prostration, her peace of mind all gone
her whole being swept into the confusing
whirl and hurry of life, but who with rare
instructive perception saw that she needed
not u doctor but IA closer walk with
God" She left her home and went 10 "a
certain religious convention with the
determination of regain the beautiful in
ner life that she had lost. 1t is needless
TO say that she was quite successful and
returned home free from her harassing
nervous Symptoms and full of life and
peace. To keep this calm through all
vicissitudes, daily self-discipline Is needed.
Time must bo given TO it, especially mt
first, and help may be needed from some
stronger soul even though there Is no
organic disease, but in the end the reward,
even from "a physical point of view, Will
amply repay the effort Life will become
calmer sweeter and more radiantly happy
as one learns 10 give TO the higher nature
its rightful supremacy.
