William j. Henderson, whose What Is
Good Mus.c?" has just been issued. was
engaged last October by a publishing
nrm to write book on the development
and growth of music. The contract called
for the completion OF his work and the
delivery of his copy on February /. About
half-past nine. on the day mentioned In
the contract, he brought the entire Ms.
into his publishers office ready for the
printer. There are very few authors
who would be guilty Of such punctuality.
Mr. Henderson is wonderfully rapid
worker His copy Is very clean and his
handwriting Is SO small that he can pei
five or six hundred words on an ordinary
manuscript page.

Spring Medicine.
Just as firmly established by the ex-
periences of millions Of people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is "far and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine everproduced.
The necessity is found in the i'm
pure condition Of the blood at this
season, owing to the close confine-
ment and breathing vitiated sir in Of
flee, store, shop, house, schoolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery Of life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifies, vital
ICES and enriches the blood, builds up
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils up the machinery
Of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes out Of the back,
the bowels are regulated. the appetite
restored, the food is relished and as.

Don't wait till you are thoroughly

SOME OF OUR BOYS AMONG THEN

Sad Scenes When the Soldiers are In
formed That They Are Not Competent
for Duty on the Battlefield of Them
Wants to Fight-Strict Guard Kept mt
the Gate at Night.
nAMP TANNER, Springfield. April
u 29.-The preliminary medical
examination conducted here has
had disastrous effect on the military
ambitions of many of the soldiers
gathered here awaiting orders to
serve the government on the battle
field. Men were rejected from nearly
every regiment, and most any day
several of the members of Company
A may be expected home. The boys
were sufficiently strong so far as pa
triotism goes, but the physicians
shook their heads when they inquired
into their physical makeup.
A more rigid examination is ex-
pected when the surgeon detailed by
the war department, sets to work in
the ranks, and there is likelihood
that others of us who have thus far
escaped will be cast aside. and in
structed to march homeward.
1t was sad sight to witness the
departure from camp of many of the
boys who came here, their breasts
heaving full of patriotism, and anx-
ious for chance to undergo the
trials. hardships and dangers of war.
in order to assert their Americanism.
A private in the I'd regiment
grew indignant when rejected, and
declared his ability to fight any man
on the grounds. He said bullet
would not kill him any quicker than
any other man. He said he thought
the government wanted fighters.
A strict guard is kept on the big
gate to keep the boys from sneaking
to the city during the night and hav-
ing little time to dispel the monot-
Ony of camp life. One hundred have
already been landed in the guard
house for violations. At midnight
last night delegation of 80, full of
rye and shouting, were captured.
