The Boer ENJOYS must finally ap-
preciate what a snide push assumed
charge of their interests in the United
States. Congressman Sulzer, OF
New York, acted as special guardian
for them. At the popular reception
given them in Washington he made
a pathetic plea for contributions for
the''widows and orphans''of the SOL
diers of the South African republics.
A generous audience denoted 81. 100.
Sulzer controlled the committee hav-
ing the reception and entertainment
in charge, and the report now shows
that 81, 082 was expended in expenses
of which $40 was for wine, and
that $1S is still left for the widows
and orphar-> Sulzer is that wise
statesman who tells what Bryan
will do to the English army when
he is elected president. He should
be Bryan's secretary of war.

Freezing Weather In July

Would cause great discomfort and
loss, but fortunately it is seldom
known. A vast amount Of misery is
caused at this season, however. by
impoverished blood, poor appetite
and general debility. These condi-
tions may be remedied by enriching
the blood and toning up the stomach
with Hoods Sarsaparilla. This
medicine seems to put new life into
the whole lphysical system, simply
because of it's wonderful power to
purify, enrich and vitalize the blood,
create an appetite and invigorate
the digestive functions. We advise
you to get q bottle and try it If you
are not feeling just right. 1t will do
you more good than six weeks va
cation. 1t is the best medicine
money can buy.
