WHAT WE EAT

Ia intended to nourish and sustain us, but it must be digested and assimilated before it can do this. In other words, the nourishment contained in food must be separated 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 de- rive from Hoods Sar8aparlla lies in the fact that this medicine gives good diges- tion and mskes pure, rich blood. It re- stores the function of those organs which convert food into nourishment that gives strength to nerves and muscles. It also cures dyspepsia, scrofula, salt rheum, boils, sores, p mples and eruptions, ca. tarrh, rheumatism and all diseases that have their origin in impure blood.

THE JANUARY SALE DRAWS THOUSANDS
 OF CUSTOMERS.

OF CUSTOMERS.
 The January sale, than which none more important and genuine New Haven has ever known, is in progress at the Gamble.Desmond Co.'s store, and chic y represented in the big sale are the mus In underwear, the linen and cotton depart ments, the cloak room and tremendous eale of beautiful printed china silks fresh from the French looms, where the silks were sent from China to be printed.
 The selling has been tremendously heavy and on the first day of the sale perhaps the crowds were not as quickly served as the firm would have liked. The Gamble-Desmond Go, now announce that an extra sales force has been stationed ln each of these, departments and the service is in every way better in spite of the in- creasing crowds.
 Another important sale, one that the firm instituted to-day, is in the stationery department; 1000 boxes of high grade paper and envelopes from the celebrated Whiting mills at Springfield will be sold at l2 1.2c box. paper that is worth 20 and 38 cents. AS this is the firms first January sale the event has created un- usual interest.
