WHAT WE EAT

Is intended to nourish and sustain us, but it must be digested and as simulated before it can do this. In other words, the nourishment con- tained 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 be- lieve the reason for the great benefit which So many people derive from Hoods 'Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that this medicine gives good digestion and makes pure rich blood. It restores the functions of those organs whi ch convert food into nourishment that gives strength to nerves and muscles It also cures dyspepsia, scrofula, salt, salt rheum, boils, sores, pimples and erlptiOnS, catarrh, rheumatism and all diseases that have their origin in impure blood.

TOWN TOPICS.
RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF
 THE LATE GEORGE SANFORD.

ADOPTED BY THE VIEWPOINT LIBRARY
 ASSOCIATION.
 In the death of George F. Sanford, - for many years trustee, a sincere friend and warm supporter of it's in- terests, the Newtown Library Associ tion has met with great loss.
 Those most closely associated with MT Sanford in the conduct of the As sociation bear willing testimony to his unfailing interest, his untlinching integrity, his good judgment, his wise counsel and active cooperation in all that pertained to the Library: traits of character which made him one of the most valued members of the Associa tion, making it all the stronger be- cause of the work he helped to carry on, and we desire to- put upon record our sincere appreciation of his services to the Library, especially in the work prepara tory to the erection of the new Library building.
 While it seems to us strange allOt- ment of the Divine will that he was taken from us before his eyes could see the consummation of his hopes in the completion of the new building, we meekly bow to the will of God who has called him hence, and hereby pledge ourselves with renewed devotion to the work to which, while among us, MT Sanford so earnestly set his heart and hand.
 We recommend that this testimonial to George P. Sanford's character and worth, be printed in THE VIEWPOINT BEE, also that it be spread upon the records of the Association, and that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased.
 In behalf of the Newtown Library Association,

 Last week,

There have been two arrests for crime in which rape is alleged in the little and worthy town of sherman, in the last week, but the parties said to be responsible have been promptly ar rested by Sheriff Ilawley's efficient deputy, Warren Allen. Since these arrests another case for the same, sad crime, is reported in Sherman, and it is said that the party responsible has been located by Sheriff Allen. The worthy citizens of that town owe it to the general public that all parties re- spOnsible for this awful crime are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. There is altogether too much looseness in the prosecution of crime in the small towns, but Sherman evi- dently has an official who is not afraid to do his duty.

Persons who suffer from indigestion, can not expect to live long, because they cannot eat'the food required to nourish the body and the products of the undigested foods they do eat poi son the blood. It is important to cure indigestion as soon as possible, and the best method of doing this is to use the preparation known as Kodol Dyspepia Cure. It digests what you eat and restores all the digestive organs to perfect health. R. II. Beers S Co.,, Hook; A. B. Blakeman, Botsford; B. Hawley & Co.,, Stepney: A. B. Fanch- CT, Hawleyville; w. N.

 English. We had music all night from the Boxers bullets. The next morn ing we started out about o'clock and got our guns and turned on the other gate. We waited for daylight so we could view the door,s and then let her have it. We blew open one gate and went into place about 1O0o feet square, the Boxers opening fire on us. We rushed our marines in there and they drove them out, so we could go in through another gate and get in a block house. We happened to have good luck by striking a road that led up on a wall, so we could get our pieces on top, and we drew our pieces in back of another small wall that afforded good protection for us. We had been in about an hour when Capt Reilley was killed. He was shot through the mouth, the bullet coming out of the back of his neck. There was another man wounded in the hand by piece of shell. We broke open two more gates and were on the last one to the Imperial City when we were called back. The Russians lay down behind the wall and kept out of sight until the fighting was over and then their general came out and claim ed that we were not entitled to the ground that we took Gen Chaffee made us ready to open fire on them and the Russians stood there with fixed bayonets ready to charge on us, but the Russian minister said that we were entitled to what we had taken, so they withdrew. The Russians are the big gest towards l ever saw.
 We buried our captain the next morning down at the American Navi- gation Tartar city in front of Minister COnger's house, a noble and a brave man. AS soon as his death occurred First Lieut. Burgess took command and he marched us down to the temple of Agriculture It is like a big fair ground and lots of buildings. The 2d of September detail of men from the English, Japs, Russians, Germans and our command were marched through their sacred temples, so they could not have any more sacred temples, and show them what took Pekin. All there was to see was a few gods that they worship. All they had of any value was removed to the mountains before we went into it, so we could not see anything of any value. There are thousands of dollars worth of property going to waste all through the coun- try everywhere and we can't take any thing. We are now waiting for orders for home. When we go back we will go to Fort Hamilton, New York. You wanted to know how hot the weather is. In Manila it is from 90 to 1O8. The rainy season had just commenced I when I left. They have passed an order in Washington that all who have served over two months in for eign service will be discharged in 1901, so I won't have much longer to serve and then I will be home to hunt rab- bits with your new dog.-IRobert T.
