FACTS ABOUT HEALTH

Il Is Easy TO Keep Well IL We kno"
haw Somu CT the Conditions
Necessary to Perfect Health.
Tho Importance OF maintaining
good health is easily understood. and
1t 1, really q simple matter II we take a
correct ricw otthe conditions required.
In perfect health the stomach promptly
digests food, and thus prepares nour-
ishment. The blood Is employed to
carry this nourishment to the organs,
nerves, muscles and tissues which
need It. The FIRST great essential for
good health, therefore, is pure, rich
blood. Now 1t Is certainly a fact that
no medicine has such a record Of cures
as Hoods S~arsaparilla. It is literally
true that there are hundreds OF people
alive and well today who would have
been in their graves had they not
taken Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t Is de-
pended upon as q family medicine bv
tens of thousands OF people. This is
because Hoods Sa:saparilla makes the
blood pure. This Is the secret OF its
great success. Keep your system IL
good health by keeping your blood
pure with Hoods Sarsaparilla.

VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
HACK LADEN WITH PEOPLE COL
LIDES WITH STREET CAR.

What may have resulted in a serious
accident to a party of young people
coming from a dance at Montefore Hall
late Monday night was averted by the
presence of mind and heroic action of
one OF the party. The dance was given
by the None Such Club, and when 1t
was over four of the participants start
ed home in q hack Just as the hack
was turning from Mariner street into
Church street it collided with one of
several cars closely following each
other on their way to the power house.
The collision was of such force that
the left front wheel of the vehicle was
demolished and the driver thrown from
his seat.
The occupants of the hack. Miss Bes-
sic Doyle, the daughter of Mr.. w. II.
Doyle. of Norfolk. and Messrs. Taylor
Carney. Hochkiss and Duke of Rich
mond. were not injured by the col
lision, but the horses became frighten-
ed and started at Il rapid speed up
Church street, making their situation
most precarious. Mr.. Carney kept his
presence of mind. and breaking through
the front window of the hack, while the
horses were dashing up the street with
the broken vehicle, jumped to the street
| and caught the bit of one of the fright
ened animals. and. after u hard strug-
gle. managed to bring them TO Il stand
still. All of the occupants of the car.
rage were shaken up. but fortunately
no one was injured. MIR. Carney de-
serves great credit for his courage and
presence of mind
