Spring is here.
Purity your blood. Take Paine's celery
compound.
1t is the one spring remedy sought after
and highly esteemed by intelligent, earnest
men and women throughout the land.
Paine's celery compound has created its
own constituency.
Men and women who have never taken
a spoonful of any sarsaparilla or patent
medicine of any sort, nor allowed them
to enter their homes. not only use Paine's
celery compound when themselves sick,
but persuade their families to do the same.
And yet when the history of this won
derful remedy Is studied IL is easy TO uH-
derstand why Paines celery compound
thus stands alone and superior to all
remedies in the estimation Of the public

Is very good policy to follow, no matter what business you are conduct- ing.

Again. you'll see large pnblic contracts let to the highest bidder. but they are usually nipped in time and. of course again the laugh Is in order. Ihen again you'll see business men selling second or third class tea, coffee or but ter for fancy prices; they, too. some times get tripped up.

 Thomas Burns. who conducts a sa- loon at 692 East Main street, was served on Wednesday morning by Sergeant Blakeslee and Officer Nc Carthy with warrants issued by Liq- uor Prosecuting Agent Pierce charg- ing him with selling without a license and with having door connecting his saloon with his home. The cases were later nolled as there was no sub- stantial foundation to the charges. Burns bought the saloon from Edward s. Cullen several months ago. He went to New Haven and had the li- cense transferred in his name by the county commissioners, but they failed to send the license up to him. But that wasn't his fault. Such was the base of one of the charges. AS to the other charge of having door con nection between the saloon and his home, the license gave him permission to have such. Accordingly the cases were nolled
