BLOOD MONEY.
Consider Your Body As System of Govern !. ment-Your Blood As Its Bank.

What currency does it use? Gold? No Silver? No. The currency of your blood is iron.
 The stability of your government depends
 upon its funds. Its strength depends upon its iron.
 Too little iron in your blood means bankruptcy. Are you bankrupt? If you are weak, thin, pale, nervous and easily tired you are at least on the verge of it. If you have no reserve you had bet ter create one. Lay in a fresh stock of blood money. Put iron in your blood Take Dr. Harters Iron Tonic.
 This will bridge over the crisis. Nature will do the rest. Rich blood is red blood. The red color is caused by iron. "As strong as from is lit- erally true. It means red blood, red cheeks, pink nails, pink skin, iron and the strength of iron in every part of your body. If you haven't got it Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic will give it to you. Weak organs of every sort-Stomach, | liver, heart, lungs-come from the want of vitalizing blood-blood with plenty of iron l in it.
 | Indigestion, loss of appetite, headache, | backache, lack of vitality, depression of l spirits, anaemia, female troubles, general weakness and chills and ague can be cured | with Dr. Harters Iron Tonic. Dr. Smith, of Indianapolis, the well 1 known grand medical examiner of the A. | O. U. w., says After precribing Dr. Har- | ter's Iron Tonic in number of cases I 1 have no hesitancy in pronouncing it a | highly valuable. medicine. It is especially | efficient in all cases of debility. as it puri- l fies and enriches the blood, aids digestion. | tones up the appetite and gives new life | and vigor to the patient. The absence of | that disagreeable inky flavor characteristic l of other iron preparations is also much in | It's favor."

 A. l defended several, at least four or five, during the year 1896, but am not sure now whether the offenses charged were charged to have been committed during the August or November election, but my best recollection now is that it was during the August election; that is to say, the election for state and county officers

Bangs and Pompadour;
Which. or Both?

There is at present perfect civil war waging between hairdresser and milliner as to the correct coiffure for the spring and summer months, says the Chicago Times Herald. Your hat must tip down., says the milliner You must wear a pompadour,'' says the hairdresser.
 Now, everybody who has ever worn pompadour knows the fmpossibility of com bining it with a down-tilted hat. It is simply out of the question. A choice must be made between the two. Pompadours gre so very becoming, they will be given up e. luctantly. Yet in city of bicyclists, who would toletrate a hot wad of padding around the head during warm weather? Until the dawn of the first real bicycle day the pompadour may reign. The wear ing of the hat far back or far forward will probably depend upon the weather.
 Bangs are the next proposition. They are already being worn in Paris. And as the American woman accepts the Parisian unquestionngly as a model of modes, she will, as usual, follow the fad, either this spring this summer. It is merely mat ter of time before the fashion will estab- fish itself among us.
 Really the new arrangement of the hair is a pretty and flatterng one. The bang is not a hdeous fringe nor is all the front hair cut and frizzled in woolly mass at the top of the head. Only a few irregular locks are shortened, and left to twist in loose, natural curls at the sides, just above the temples. An evenly cut bang, such as was formerly the hideous vogue, is not at all the idea There is no punching of hair, and the forehead will not be concealed, nor will the hair line about the face, which we have all learned to admire, be disfg- ured.
 The pompadour, although diminished, need not necessarily be abandoned, at least not immediately, but below the rolled back mass of hair 8 few love-locks, such as we see on the foreheads of little chill dren will be noticeable. Under this soft ening shadow hard lines will disappear from the face. and women who try 1t, find ing the charm of youth it lends, will adopt if readily The center of the forehead is bare. The group of soft loose rugs at one side lie fiat very much like the familiar Della Fox curl. At the other side of the forehead single curl turns out instead of in. The effect is very chic.
