Is the season for new life in nature,
new vigor in our physical systems.
AS the fresh sap carries life into the
trees, so our blood should give us
renewed strength and vigor. In
its impure state it cannot do this,
and the aid of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is imperatively needed.
1t will purify, vitalize and enrich the
blood, and with this solid, correct
foundation, it will build up good
health, create good appetite, tone
your stomach and digestive organs,
strengthen your nerves and over

Saturday afternoon, as old Mrs.
Jones was walking down the Byron
street hill on the sidewalk, a boy on a
sled ran into her and knocked her
down. This is the second accident of
the kind we have heard of on this hill
this winter, and it does seem as
though sliding on the sidewalks there
ought to be prohibited. When the
city has a suit for damages on it's
hands it may find it less expensive to
take care of the sidewalks.

The Indians skill with his bow has ever
been matter of wonder. His keen eve and
perfect nerve are the results of years of rerfect
physical training. The Indian depending en-
tirely on nature for medicine in cases of sick
ness, took that greatest of all combinations of
roots, herbs, barks and gums and made what
was known as KICKAPOo INDIAN SAGwA,
which in every instance, went as straight as
an arrow to the seat of disease and by puri-
lying the blood and invigoratng the stomach
ana liver promoted perfect health.
This medicine of natures own construction,
can be bought today at all druggists. 1t con-
tains no poisonous ingredients and to its use
thousands owe return to health.

EDGE ON FOOD AND DIG, SION.

The real cause of most of our diseases is
simply an inability to digest food. This
induces thinness, weakness, loss OF flesh
and fat, loss of vitality, wasting away.
Loss of flesh and vitality means constant
liability to sickness. Wasting away is
consumption.
II getting thin Is what ails you, there is
only one thing to do-get fat. The only
way to do II Is to take something which
viii help your stomach and stimulate 1t to
do its work.
II you are tired out you do not like to
move your legs or arms. III your stomach
is tired 1t does not like to digest; 1t cannot
do its wosk.
n To eat, or even to eat with relish does
not necessarily mean that enc Is being
nourished. Strength, vitality and flesh
are the true indications.
Getting thin Is sign that you need the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. You would not
be getting thin II you could digest your
food.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only
contains artificially digested food, but It
will digest other foods In the stomach.
A single 10 cent bottle will show whether
or not 1t Is going to meet the conditions OF
your case, ard II 80, its continued use may
be depended on to effect cure. All drug

The Veteran senator just Missed Being
Hit with an Inkstand.
A veteran correspondent was toying
innocently the other day in the senate
press gallery with an empty inkstand.
He twirled the glass cover round and
round while Senator Morgan talked and
talked Of the Nicaragua canal bill and
the awful things threatened by Great
Britain.
The correspondent pulled the inkstand
ont of its place and twirled the cover
again. Senator Morgan's eloquent peri
Cd drew his attention, and the inkstand
was forgotten. 1t hung in his limp fin
gers, and then there was a resounding
thud on the senate floor as an object sped
by the head of the senator who was pre-
siding over the august body.
Senator Morgan paused in the midst
Of his eloquent period, and the attention
Of the august body was diverted to the
fleeing form of the correspondent. He
and another who sat beside him disap-
peared through the gallery doors. They
were seen no more that afternoon mt the
capitol. An officer from the sergeant at
arms Office is looking for them. Now
the inkstands will be clamped down. =

QUEER STATE OF AFFAIRS.

Peculiar Feature OF Our Government Hard
For Foreigners to Understand.
One of the features of our government
which foreigners are unable to under
stand and Of which they sometimes bit
terly complain is the lack of response
bility Of the individual states. For in
stance, when the Italian premier, the
Marquis Rudini, asked this government
to reoompense the families of tho Ital-
ian subjects lynched at New Orleans
Secretary Blaine at first replied that the
United States was not responsible for
the death of those men, but the state of
Louisiana.
Obviously there was no way in which
the Italian government could reach the
state Of Louisiana except through a
warship. If the bombardment Of New
Orleans had been ordered at Rome, or a
ransom had been demanded, we should
have this striking anomaly: The United
States not responsible for injuries done
to the subjects of other nations by Loui-
siana, but ready to go to war to protect
Louisiana from payment of damages un-
der duress.
subsequently, without in terms ad-
mitting the responsibility of the United
States for the negligence Of Louisiana,
Secretary Blaine hushed the matter up
by asking congress for $4,000 with
which to compensate the relatives Of the
lynched Italians, but to this day the pc
culiar relations of American states tC
the federal government and to other Ma.
tions form a puzzle which few foreigners
and many Americans arc wholly unable
to comprehend. d.-Chicago Times Her.
