A Great Success

The opening of the ice cream
parlorS at the Miller hotel last ev-
enlug was an undoubted success.
The enterprising management
adopted the bright plan of giving
a dance in celebration of the occas-
ion, and sent out invitations for
the occasion. The result was a
large attendance of our best PEG
pie, who enjoyed a most delight
fuI time, and made the opening an
event to be remembered y fine
band Of music was engaged, and
the large front hall on the lower
floor, tastefully decorated with
flags and palms, was used for
dancing The upstairs corridors
were also a favored resort for
those who did not care TO dance.
Tables were conveniently placed in
the inner court, or patto, TO serve
ice cream, and they were most
literally patronized. Dancing con
tinued until quite late, and all
Joined in voting Mine Host Prior's
opening entertainment a most en-
joyable affair

Keep the Balance up.

1t has been truthlully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble.
Nobody can be too careful to keep
this balance up. When people
begin to lose appetite, or to get
tired easily, the least imprudence
brings Oh sickness, weakness, or
debility. The system needs a
tonic, Graves it, and should not be
denied it; and the best tonic of
which we have any knowledge is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this
medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping
mp the even balance of health,
gives it the same distinction as a
preventive that it enjoys as a cure.
Its early use has illustrated the
wisdom of the old saying that a
stitch in time saves nine Take
Hood for appetite, strength, and
endurance.
