YOUR DANGER NOW

Is from the OverworEed condition of the
liver and kidneys which are unable to
eXDel impurities from the blood. This
causes rheumatism. Hoods Sasaparii-
la has been wonderfully successful in
curing This disease. 1t neutralizes the
acid 10 the blood and permanently cures
the aches and pains which other med
IcInes fail to relieve. Hoods Sarsapa-
rIlla is the best winter medicine because
1t purifies, enrIches and vitaliZes the
blood. 1t gives help just where help is
needed. 1t tones the stomach, stimu-
lates the liver, and arouses and sustains
the Kidneys. 1t wards off pneumonia.
fevers, bronchitis, colds, coughs and the
grip.

CHAPTER XIX.

The next morning after the visit to
Kola Hendricks reached his office be-
fore his Office boy. The first thing, he
did was tolook through the Herald for
his advertisement. f@ <.-
1t was there, word for word as he had
written it. Now he told himself that
there was nothing to do but to hope for

When he had laid his pen aside Lamp
kin said:

couldn't get thai wonderful perform
ance of Kola's out of my head. 1t is i'll
advance of anything ever beard OF.
Hendricks laughed and recounted
what had occurred between him and
his mother on his arrival at home.
"Ah, trick, after ALL" cried the doc.
tor, and then his face hardened under
an afterthought, "but you certainly
mentioned the Bible of your own ac-
eord.'
''That's the point that kept me awake
last night" confessed Hendricks, dryly.

Hendricks stared at his friend for a
moment, then he brought his hand
down on his desk with a resembling
blow.
by Jove: that makes three!" he ejac-
ulated.
"Three what?" asked the doctor.
"Three similarities between Kola and
Count Rantinni."

he lay there last night and grew whittier

Bantinni was never seen without them
that similarity occurred to me. Next
my glance wandered to his long finger
nails, and their grewsome points, and
Bantinni popped into my head again
Then. what should enter my mind but
that it was Kola himself who had often
used that foreign idiom, contained in
the letter to Miss Huntington. And now
we know that Kola is hypnotist of rare
ability, and so is Bantinni."
An exclamation of wonder escaped
the doctors lips

An Act Relating to the purchase
of Supplies, Approved March 9, 1898.
Section 1. All supplies and goods
purchased for the State of Nevada,
or for any county in the State, shall
be purchased of resident merchants
and business men of the State of
Nevada, whenever said merchants
and business men are ready to sup
ply such supplies and goods at an
advance of not more than ten per
cent over San Francisco prices,
freight added; provided that all
supplies for the use of the county
shall be purchased by the County
Com missioners. Statutes 1898, p.
1873.
This law has been so persistently
and systematically ignored that it
virtually amounts to dead letter.
1t was passed for the purpose of
protecting Nevada dealers who pay
taxes and licenses to do business in
this State.
In future no warrants will be
drawn in this office for goods or
supplies of any description pur-
chased in violation of this statute.

State Controller.
