With Digestion Perfect.

"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over a year.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in stdark
room as she could rot bear the light. Sho
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was SO weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered SO much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day I happened to read a tes-
timoniaI about Hoods Sarsaparilla. It
Sounded So Truthful
/ persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe She took in alt
four bottles of Hoods SarsapariiIa and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She

That is a novel plea which is ad-
vauccd by Professor John L. Tai, Of
the Tacoma Wash. J High School, who
was recently arrested on charg3 Of
plotting to kill his wife. 1t is claimed
that TAFT hired man to shoot her in
the head when the husband and wife
were out together some evening, aud
then he was to be shot III the arm 80
as to make it appear that he narrowly
escaped sharing her fate The police
were notified, and contrived to hear
incriminating conversations between
TAFT and the man hired to do the job,
and notes OF q similar character were
c;yen to the authorities. His wife re-
fuses 10 believe TAFT guilty, and the
latter SAYS that he is a student OF
criminology and made the proposition
70 commit murder simply for the sake
of studying its effect upon the mind OF
the man who was to DO the shooting,
and that he had no intention of seeing
the terms Of the contract carried ont.
This explanation may satisfy the
officials, but in any event it will tend
to increase the general regret that
there, is no law against playing the
fool.
