The Same.
! Old Sarsaparilla.

I That's Ayers. The same old
sarsaparilla As it was made and
sold by DR.. J. G. Aver 80 years
ago. In the laboratory it is
/ different. There modern app1i-
ances lend speed to skill and
experience. But the sarsapa-
rilla is the same old sarsaparilla
that made the record-5O gears
Of cures. Why don't we better
itf Well, we're much in the
J condition Of the Bishop and the
raspberry: Doubtless, he
said, "God might have made
better berry. But doubtless,
/ also, He never did" Why
don't We better the sarsaparilla1
We can't. We are using the
same old plant that cured the
Indians and the Spaniards. It
has not been bettered. And
since soe make sarsaparilla COM
pound out Of sarsaparilla plant,
we see no way Of improvement.
OF course, if We were making
some secret chemical compound
we might. But we're not.
We're making the same old sar-
sapari1la to cure the same old

same old sarsapartlla be-
cause it works the same old

purifier, and-it,s Ayers.

on March 10 aud the executive committee
was instructed to find some one, IL possi-
bIe, who would consent to accept the
nominations. The question of candidates
was dismissed at today's meeting in an
informal manner, but without result. 1t
was suggested that Hon. George Little

Chairman Owen discouraged that idea by
intimsting that Mr.. Littlefjeid had not on
