A Much Appreciated Calendar.

Isn't it pretty?" is the universal re-
mark of ladies when they pick mp
one of Hoods Sarsaparilla calendars
for 1901. Messrs. c. L. Hood & Co.
are as enterprising as ever, and, as
usual. their household calendar for
the opening year of the twentieth cen
truy portrays the likeness of little
girl with flowing hair pink cheeks and
bright eyes, which, with the picture
of the child, fully bears out the title
OF the picture, Patience" The cal
endar pad Is larger than usual. and
besides the valuable information Civ
en- on the monthly sheets, has adver-
tising and coupon slips interspersed.
The demand for these calendars has
necessitated the issuing of large
edition, which caused the commenc-
ing of work on them early in Sep
tember, the last orders not being
filled until within few. days of the
new year. Druggists generally can
supply you with these calendars. or
copy can be obtained by sending si.'
cents in stamps to

The officials of the state department
are not at all concerned over the re-
ports from China concerning the pro-
test of certain viceroys against the
terms of peace. The situation makes
such protests worthless. The pow
ers, representing the animal on top
have named the price. and the under
dog has got to pay it. To extend the
simile. the puppies may snarl and
bark as much as they please without
affecting the result. 1t is a signifi-
cant fact that the protesting vceroys
are the enemies and the rivals of Lii
Hung Chang, who, according to re-
ports, is very i'll and may not live to
complete the negotiations. Some OF
the reports represent that he is paral-
yzed; all of them agree that he is in
very feeble condition and unable
to leave his house.

falsehood to cover up the duplicity.

Further. let the inyc tigation show
what the saving will be during the
present year II The Herald bid had
been accepted II will show over
$1,000 with the same work as per
formed last year.
And last. we make this proposition.
