YOUR BLOOD MADE NEW.

Your heart beats about sixty thousand times a day. Every drop of blood in your veins visits every part of your body about five hundred times each twenty four hours Is 1t any wonder that many troubles arise when. the blood is not right?
 Is it hard to understand why health quickly returns when you take remedy like Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic, a remedy that purifies and enrches the blood?
 It does far more than that, because 1t is the perfect example of everything that ''tonic" stands for. But 1t would be a wonderful remedy if it's power to make red rich blood was its. only property. It is far better than so-called blood purifiers because it both makes and purifles the blood.
 It is not one of the crude forms of iron that injures the teeth and stomach, but delicate harmless form that is almost in- stantly passed from the stomach to the blood In the blood 1t battles against weakness and disease, and helped by the other ingredients of that famous remedy, it rids the system of all impurities and helps each sluggish organ to do its full duty.
 If you have skin disease, rheumatism, stomach trouble, nervousness, or if you have any reason to believe that your blood is N1isordered or that your health Is running down, be just to yourself and try this remedy.
 pr. Harter's Iron Tonic has for forty- five years been made only by the Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio Sold everywhere.

----------- TOWNLEY TO BE TRIED.
Retired Officer To Be Courtmartialed On Account of Commissary Frauds.

Washington, May 1S.-Lieutenant Rich ard P. Townley, a retired officer of the navy, will be court martialed for alleged participation in the commissary frauds at Manila Rear Admiral Kempff, in tenn porary command of the Asiatic station, today reported to the navy department that he had detached Townley from the command of nautical school and would send him to the gunboat Manila under suspension to await further action.
 It is alleged that Townley on two occa- sions had attempted to extort money from the firm of Castle Bros, Wolf & Sons of Manila. The money, it is charged, was to be used in part to clear up the accounts of the army commissary.
 Prompt action was taken by the de- pertinent upon the receipts of Rear Ad- miral Memphis report, cable orders being issued for Townley's trial by general court martial to be convened as speedily as possible.

Gen. Pillow Demanded Respect.

From the New Orlenas Times-Democrat,
 An interesting story of General Gideon J. Pillow of Tennessee, is told by R. S. Owen of Brookwood, Ala, who rode with Wheeler in the civil war. General Pillow, says MT. Owen, had the reputation of be- ing good officer. and in his younger days during the Mexican war, was noted for his splendid personal appearance, espe- cially when on parade. He was said to be rather pompous in his manner On one occasion during that war at an inspec- ton he encountered the derlsion of reg iment of Texas Rangers. Mounted on magnificent horse, and clothed In all the splehdor of new uniform. he was ca reering down the lines, when the rangers began to jeer him: "Whoal Stop himl Hold them reins! Whoa!" This was too much for his philosophy Halting abrupt ly in front of the regiment. he lifted his hand for silence. and, rising in his stir rups, exclaimed: "I am General Gideon J. Pillow! I am an officer and a man! And I will be respeetedl And then from away off came another jeer, followed by a roar of laughter all along the line: "Re- speet that man! Respect that man!

Summer Homes in the Mountains.

Undoubtedly the most invigorating and healthful region in which to spend the heated term, is among the resorts along the line. of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail- way, in the, mountains of Virginia and West Virginia These resorts vary in altitude from 1900 to- 25oo feet and 7are celebrated for their grand, and picture sque mountain surroundings, variety of mineral waters, exhilaratng climate, mildly warm days and cool refreshing nights, producing that feeling of energy and buoyancy which insures health and promotes enjoyment. There are over 300 summer homes among, the mountains and on the sea shore, reached by the C.
 & O.. Railroad. The rates vary to suit those of moderate means who prefer homelike surroundings and to gratify those seeking gaiety and social life For booklet descriptive of these resorts and giving names and addresses of managers, apply to ticket offices of lines connecting at Louisville and Cincinnati, or address A L.

be elected President in 1894, but he can truthfully say that he Is not now can didate for the honor, although he may become candidate if, three years from now, he thinks that the Republican par ty is going to win.
 Senator Hanna would not care to be put up to be knocked down. He would like very much to be President, but he would not like to be a defeated candidate for President, He said before leaving to- day, with evident sincerity, that it was entirely too early to ak about candi- dates for the next Presidential election. If, however, business and political con ditions do not materially change in three years and the outlook then for the cleo tion of the Republican ticket seems favor able. Senator Hanna may be a candidate.
 Senator Hanna's friends are undoubt- edly trying to prepare the way for his nomination, if he wants it. and he is not diseouraging them. The Republican par ty organization, so far as 1t is controlled by the Republican National Committee, is now for Hanna, and would probably be so when the time came for him to de- clare himself, but, as he said today: Anything may happen by that time."

Funston and the Press.
Harper's Weekly.

Harper'S Weekly.
 A newspaper dispatch from North Car olina reported the other day that Fun ston's great-grandmother was a niece of Daniel Boone, and a cousin of Lewis and Clark, the explorers. If that is true 1t helps to account for some of the restless ness in his blood. Kipling's latest story is the story of the education of a boss scout, and in the last installment of it one of the little scouts teachers says. From time to time God causes men to be born who have a lust to go abroad at the risk of their lives and discover news to-day it may be far off things, tomorrow of some hidden mountain, and the next day of some nearby men who have done a foolishness against the State. These souls are very few" There is great deal about Funston's record to make 1t seem likely that he is one of these few. At any rate, he Is interesting, and he did very useful and imortant service in catching Aguinaldo, though Aguinaldo's bolt was pretty well shot before he was caught.

THE DIsousTED HENS. They Objected to Setting on Eggs Which Had Been Boiled.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 A certain well known real estate deal CT who lives out on Cedar avenue, is very fond of his garden and of his household pets. and more especially of his chickens This special fondness was the means of involving him in an, Easter joke that Is quite too good to keep-although the real estate man himself may be of the opin- ion that 1t should be preserved as care fully as any other family secret

hold boiled large number of eggs in honor of the day, and for the special delectation of the children, and after placing them in a basket set them away in the cellar. A little later the man of the house suddenly took 1t into his head that he would "set" two of his favorite hens. So he went down cellar to secure the eggs, and noticing the basket, took out enough for two settings and carried them out to the barn.
 He arranged them all right, and when he turned away the hens had started in on their long task. But he happened to look back as he neared the house, and then he noticed that the hens were very much disturbed about something. They were scratching and pecking at the eggs and clucking in highly offended man. ner. He went back and tried to soothe them but instead of being reconciled, they flew away. squawking angrily. He went back to the house and said: q don't understand what's the matter with those blamed hens I can't make them set"
 It was suggested to him that perhaps they didn't work on holidays, and just then the lady of the house appeared from the cellar and wanted to know who had disturbed the eggs she had placed down there in a basket
 '.Eh! cried the real estate man. sa.'Why I took some eggs to set those hens--but they won't set.
 ''The eggs mean" said the lady, "were boiled"

TRANSV.AAL IN RUS~IA.
Large Colony of Dutchmen who
Closely Resemble Their I%ins-
men in south Africa

An enterprising journalist Of St.
Petersburg has just discovered that
there is large colony of Dutchmen
in Russia who in all particulars close
~ resemble their llinsmen. the Beers
Of South Africa. The colony was es-
tabIished in 1920, SAYS the New York
Herald, and consists at present of
about 500 persons. It is situated in
the districts of Brest-Titovsl and Ko-
vel and thus is partly under the
jurisdiction of the government Of
Grodno and partly under that of the
government of Nolhynia. Ten large
farms cover the territory occupied by
the colonists.
These Dutchmen are called "IIol-
larders" by their Russian neighbors
They are Of the same physical type
as the Beers and their mode Of life is
exactly similar. They wear he same
traditional hat; they spend most Of
their spare time reading the Bible
and they are distinguished for their
great honesty and their love Of work
They admire the Russians and hate
the English just as bitterly us the
Beers hate them. Their houses are
built of stone and they have an
abundance Of cattle The men till
the soil and the women attend to the
dairy. They live frugaly, INDUCING
in no Intoxicating drink except beer
and, as the land is good, they have
never known poverty. In the strug-
giles Of their countrymen in South
Africa they take keen interest and
they are prepared to give a hearty
welcome to any of the Beers who
may desire to settle near them.

so sensitive that the warmth given
