A Surprise,

The statement that State Auditor
Dunn intends to see that higher assess

of st. Louis county is a surprise to the
county officials, as they have been
working for several months on meas

values be raised to a proper level, but
the companies will be compelled to

Hoods SarsapariIia UnequaIIed for
Making Rich, Red Blood.

The necessity for taking a good Spring
Medicine to purify the blood and build up
the system is based upon natural and un-
avoidable causes. In cold weather there
has been less perspiration and impurities
have not passed out of the system as they
should. Food has consisted largely of
rich, fatty substances, and there has been
less opportunity for outdoor exercise.
The result is, the blood is loaded with i'm
purities and these must be promptly ex-
PEELED or health will be endangered.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best Spring
Medicine because it is the best blood
purifier and tonic. 1t thoroughly purifies
the blood and gives vigor and vitality.
