MARCH AND THE LION.
Something Better Than the Old 5

Something Better Than the Old Saw.
That saying about the lion and the
lamb in March oftens proves false,
but there Is another and better one
which Is literally true. When March
comes in and finds you taking Hoods
Sarsaparilla to purify, enrich ard
vitalize your blood, you may expect,
when 1t goes out, that it will leave
you free from that tired feeling and
and with none of the boils, pimples
and eruptions which manifest them
selves because of impure blood in the
spring. If you have not already be-
gun taking Hoods 5arsaparilla for
your spring medicine, we advise you
OF begin today. We assure it will
make you feel better all through the
coming season.

petiEing, nourishing food drink to
take the place of coffee. Sold by all
grocers and liked by all who have
used 1t because when properly pre-
pared it tastes like the finest coffee
but is free from all its injurious
properties, Graino-O aids digestion

not stimulant but health builder
and children, as we'll as adults, can
drink it with great benefit. Costs

Mark Andy Up One.

Sheriff Hobart told REGISTER re-
porter the other day that during the
nine years in which he has been en-
gagged in work connected with the
jail, he has never seen but one prison
er who showed any inclination to inn
prove the abundant leisure at his
disposal. The one exception to the
general rule is Andy Holt, the young
man from LaHarpe, in prison on the
charge of violating the prohibltory
law. Holt began the study of Whites
arithmetic several months ago and,
with the semi-occasional assistance
of the sheriff, has pretty near waded
through 1t. Holt had lot of sym
pathy:wLen he was tried and the fac
that he voluntarily went on record
as willing to forever forego the bus
ness at that time and his present
exhibition of ambitious manhood will
assure him lot of ready made friends
who will give him the glad hanC
when tho present trouble Is over.

: GUILTY.! "
After Being Out Is Hours
the Jury Declares John
Bell Guilty Of
MANSLAUGHTER, Isl DEGREE
Twelve Years in the Peni-
tertiary is the Penalty
He VIII Pay.
TContinued from last week. ]

On cross examination Mr.. Gard
subjected witness to very severe
line OF questions as to the wherea-
bouts of John after the shooting,
whether his family had sent him
money or not. She denied knowledge
of his whereabouts or to have sent
him money. Said she did not know
whether John had fit for thirty
days after the shooting or not. Said
she had always tried to keep her
sons mental condition from the pub
lie. Mrs. Bell made good witness,
free from attempt to create sympathy;
Her answers to questions were not
evasive.
DR.. Barker was the next witness
and testified to having been called to
treat young Bell for epileptic fits and
blind siaggers. The doctor thinks
Bell is subject to epilepsy. He was
profuse with the use of big words
that were hardly relative to the case,
but it showed his professional learn
ing. No matter how hard the counsel
tried to get direct answer the doctor
went into detail with his answers
1t was almost impossible to get yes
or no response from him.
DR.. Orendorff, of Yates Center, was
called and stated that blow on the
head mightcause epilepsy. That wai
what the defense wanted, az it will
be remembered that young Bell had
fall few years ago when his heaC
was badly bruised.
A great many ladies were in at
attendance this afternoon.
The evidence will probably all b.
in tomorrow, but the case is not like
ly to go to the jury before some tim
Friday.
1t is expected that Bell will be tn
first witness in the morning.

A Painful Accident.

About 0 O'Clock Tuesday at the
old smelter in lola, Jess Hampton
started to remove an old retort
When he tipped it up about quart
of melted spelter ran out of the re-
tort and into his trousers pocket.
The hot metal burned his flesh badly
and the injury may prove quite
serious.

that Bell he found guilty and sem
fenced tor the reason that the young
desperate might take n notion to xiii
him. When a boy eighteen years old
has attained such reputation, wilful,
wantOn and senseless, the best thing
for him is good long sentence to the
penitenti ry where he can learn the
wholesome lesson that there are
limits which he must not overstep.

high tribute to the industry and EN-

that they are hampered by fewer tradi-

JosEPHrs BILL.

Senator-Doctor Joseph has introduced
q bill 70 put all the people Of this state
under guardianship TO prevent Imposi-
tion on them OF empirical healers. He
would prevent anybody except ''regu-
lar physician from prescribing any rem
edy. however simple. for a sick person.
He would force our people to employ
regular" doctors. His bill might we'll
be termed the "cofin-maker," for the
modern medical colleges grind out more
ignoramuses than one can conceive
These fiedgiings are grossly ignorant Of
the laws Of health and Of hygienic treat
ment of their patients; ignorant Of every
thing in fact except a prescribed formula
that takes no account cf the status OF
the patients system. A large number
OF these doctors" who are TO have ex-
elusive control Of our sick. fill their medi-
cine cases with patent medicine and star,
out TO inflct death upon the community.
They are like DR.. Sengrado, who invari-
ably prescribed bioodletting. They pre-
scribe their tablets and pills and hasten
away. leaving their patients fate to luck.
There are, Of course. some exceptions
to this status. but it is in spite of the
system.
This sad condition Of medical practice
is developing a large army Of hygienic
healers who use no drugs and few medi-
cines; but they study their patients and
aid nature. There are fewer empires
among them that among the regulars"
