legislation of this kind. / have thought
of the matter, and am now writing the
members of the legislature for their
opinions, and I will be guided largely

there is no other question up for con-

due to the presence on our team of one

CO men will it take TO beat eleven

When both colleges live strictly up

it worthy of public concern which side

The man who mounts the pinnacle of

What splendid type of tireless ac-
tivity is the sun as the psalmist de-
scribes its issuing like "a bridegroom
from his chamber and rejoicing like a
strong man TO run a race Every
man ought to rise in the morning re-
freshed by slumber and renewed by
rest, eager Tor the struggle of the day.
But how rarely this is so. Most people
rise still unrefreshed, and dreading the
strain of the days labors. The cause
of this is deficient vitality and behind
this lies deficient supply of pure, rich
blood. and an inadequate nourlshment
OF the body. There is nothing that
will give man strength and energy, as
will Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. II does this by increasing the
quantity and quality of the blood sup
ply. This nonrishes the nerves, feeds
the BRAN. builds up enfeebled organs,
and gives that sense OF strength and
power which makes the struggle of life
joy. The good feeling" which fol-
lows the use OF Golden Medical Dis
covery" is not due to stimulation as it
contains no alcohol, whisky or other
