FACTS ABOUT HEALTH

II is Easy to Keep Wen if We Know
How Some of the Conditions Neces-
sary to Perfect Health.
The Importance of maintaining good
health is easily understood, and it is
really a simple matter if we take cor
rect view of the conditions required.
In perfect health the stomach promptly
digests food. The blood is employed to
carry nourishment to the organs, nerves,
muscles and tissues which need it.
The first great essential for good health,
therefore, is pure, rich blood. No medi-
cine has UGH record of cures as Hoods
Sarsaparills and it is because it is the one
true blood purifier. Hundreds of people
are alive and well today who would have
been in their graves had they not taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t is depended upon
as family medicine by thousands.

lately declare that they intend TO make
the campaign of their lives this year, ana
If anything on earth can move him 10
lead il Hon. Tom Watson will be called
to the front. Mr. Watson has repeatedly
declared that he was in political retlte-
ment and would not be a candidate lot
Governor or anything else, but this does
not lessen the ardor of some oil MS ad-
mirers. and If what they say is a safe IN
dication of the way the wind is blowing,
Mr.. Watson will be put at the head oil

He Is Said to Have Been Once Com
nected with a Savannah Firm.
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. Oh. H. Smith,
for contempt of court by Judge Reid Of
the City Court to-day because he refused
to respond TO the subpoena of a commits
sioner and give his deposition In a certain
suit.
1t appears that Mr.. Smith is being sued
for $1,000 by Giovanni Ferrano of Milan.
Italy. The plaintiff alleges that H. H.
Smith & Co of Savannah and Atlanta owe
him that amount on account of certain
transactions in cotton, and he sought to
make Mr.. Smith answer his interrogato-
ries, but that gentleman declined to do so
because, he says, he knows nothing of the
transaction, and would not be bound 10
answer, anyhow, as he is a party TO the
action
Mr.. Smith declares that there never was
any such firm as II. H. Smith & Co. of
Savannah, although he had an Italian
working for him in Savannah some ten
years ago. This mans name was An
tonic Ivancih and he claims that he is
responsible for the claim. In connection
with the suit Mr.. Smith gave an account
of his relations with Ivancih. He went
10 Savannah, he says, to enter the ex-
port trade and met the man. and asked
him how the business was DONE. Accord
ing to Mr. Smith, the Italian told him
that when consignments were shipped
from the interior the exporter put in
claims for ''off grade" the shipper be-
ing always willing in the end TO compro-
mise these claims for half and in this
way the exporter made snug profit The
Atlanta cotton man added, however, that
he did not do business that way.
