WHAT We EAT--Is intended to
nourish and sustain us, but it must be
digested and asslmilated before 1t can
do this. In other words, the nourish-
ment contained in food must be sep
arate by the digestive organs from
the waste materials and must be
carried by the blood to all parts of
the body. We believe the reason for
the great benefit which so many
people derive from Hoods Sar-
saparilla lies in the fact that this med
icne gives good digestion and makes
pure, rich blood. 1t restores the func-
tions of those organs which convert
food into nourishment that gives
strength to nerves and muscles. 1t
also cures dyspepsia, scrofula, salt
rheum, boils, sores. pimples and erup-
tions, catarrh rheumatism and all
diseases that have their origin in
impure blood.

Purchase Fort Augusta.

Petitions are being signed in Sun
bury and neighboring towns asking
the Legislature 10 make an appropria-
ton for the purchase of a part of the
site Of Fort Augusta and to convert
the same into public park. The
ground proposed to be purchased is
one hundred feet IN width and two
hundred feet in depth, on which is
the old well and magazine of the fort.
Fort Augusta was one of the earliest
forts, and considering its age, the
magazine is in a remarkably good
state of preservation. The old Indian
landmarks are rapidly passing away
and this relic of the troublous days oi
this countrys early history should moi
be permitted to fall into further decay.

convince myself that I'm all wrong. but
can't do IT
Whats the matter now?'' asked the
friend whom he had stopped on the street
Il m afraid there's been some msappre-
hension about Thomas Jefferson"
On, of course. His opinions are quoted
IN support OF arguments on both sides of
almost every great thinker"
1t amt that. As you say, such things
are TO be expected. But these celebra lions
are worrying me. I'll admit that I'm one
OF the easiest worried men in the world
But can't help 1t. / have my doubts
whether Thomas Jefferson, II he could have
his say, would want any celebration at all
He was plain sort of man, whose idea OF
good time was to get away in a qulet
corner and play the violin. But | Ike 10
see EN-. approve of showing honor where
IL is due"
Then what are you complaining about 80
fhe method. When people get up some
thing in honor of a famous musician. they
assemble an orchestra and play his works,
don't they?"
"As a rule
"or II it's an eminent literary man. they
don't they?"
Ordinarily"
And in the case of a great military man,
they fling the starry banner out and shoot
off fireworks"
That's the CUSTOM"
But when Thomas Jefferson is the sub
Ject OF our homage and applause what do
We do? We send dinner invitations 10 an
any where from 81 to $40 a plate 1t. a
mistake Somebody has gotten the wrong
impression. Thomas jefferson was a states
man; not an epicure."

An de sunbeam comes a-glancing'
So fiirtatious like an dancin'
While he begs de vilets to come out an
