What 4 WaterViue Man
Did.

This statement was made by Henry
j. Collins, ii Drummond Ave, Water
vile, Me-, on the oath of June, 1900:
Il weighed one hundred and twenty
four pounds.
"My face and body were covered
with pimples, and for nearly 3 years
had been troubled with my kidneys.
81 now weigh one hundred and
fifty-six pounds.
any face and body are free from
pimples, and my kidneys do not trou-
BILE me at all"
What did he do for himself2
That is pertinent question.
Before it is answered, let it be said
that he did what he was told to do,
and that was what thousands had been
told to do and had done with entire
satisfaction to themselves.
And yet it was what many are delay
ing to do, simply because they cannot
make up their minds to do it, in spite
OF the fact that pimples are pimples
and kidney complaint is kidney COM
plant, and what has cured these things
in one person can be reasonably ex-
pected to cure them in another.
He took Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
has an unequalled record of perma-
nent cures Of pimples and kidney COM
plant, as well as OF all other cutaneous
eruptions, all scrofulous diseases, ca
tarrh, dyspepsia, rheumatism and
general debility.
Hoods Sarsaparilla acts directly and
peculiarly on the blood, and by making
it pure, rich and abundant, strengthens
the stomach, liver and kidneys, per-
fects digestion, secretion and excretion,
clears the complexion, increases the
weight, and builds up the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, being an excel
lent remedy, is one for which substi-
tutes are sometimes offered. They do
not act like Hoods, and it is expensive,
in view of the result, to experiment
with them.
Hoods sarsaparilla is obtainable Of
all druggists.

The Origin of baseball,

Harper's Weekly: The origin of
baseball-"our national game"-is not
definitely known, but the first club or
ganized to play it was in New York
in 1916. S%ingularly enough, this club,
like the one first organized to promote
rowing, was called "The Knickerbock-
er club" After 1851 other amateur
baseball clubs began to organize, in
Guiding the Atlantic, Mutual, Union,
etc. In 1857 a convention of delegates
from sixteen clubs in and around New
York and Brooklyn was held. About
ten years later, at the annual
ton Of the National association in 1866,
202 clubs from seventeen states and
the District Of Columbia were repre-
sented. The college baseball associa-
tons were started about 1862 or 1863.
Amateur baseball throughout the
union was at it's height in the years
1865, 1866 and 1867. Professional base
ball was recognized in 1868, and the
first games were played in 1869.

difference Between Being Very Drunk
st. Louis Republic: In a trial of a di-
vcrce suit before Judge Gibson, of the
Kansas City circuit court some months
& a witness who was being examined
insisted that there was a difference be-
tween being drunk and being full" The
witness said that plaintiff and defendant
and himself had become "full' on a pint
OF whisky. Colonel John O'Grady, the
wit OF the Kansas City bar, was examin-
Ing The witness.
NOW, Mr.. Smith," said he you look
like a man of pretty fair capacity: do you
mean to tell this court that you alone,
not TO mention the two others, could get
drunk or n pint of whisky?"
Il didn't say we were drunk, Mr..
O'Grady,' replied the witness in an in
jured tone. II said we were full"
We'll, isn't that "A distinction without
a dlfference?"
'Sir?"
Il say, what's the difference asked
Mr.. O'Grady, losing patience.
why, Mr.. O'Grady! There's all the
difference in the world. When a mans
drunk he don't know anything. He's
he's drunk, and that's all there is to 1t.
But when he's only full, he feels good,
he feels the influence, an he laughs when
there amt no laugh comm, an'-well, he's
full; you know how II is Mr.. O'Grady.'

A BILLION DOLLAR SESSION.
Appropriations VIII Not he Far Below
That EnOrmous Sum.

Appropriations VIII Not he Far Below
That Enormous Sum,
Washington, Feb. 9.-The senate
passed the pension appropriation bill
and took III the ship subsidy bill.
Senator McLaurin of South Carolina
spoke in favor of the measure.
There was discussion concerning the
amount of the appropriations at this
session and in reply to a question from
Senator Morgan Senator Allison,
chairman of the senate committee on
appropriations, said he thought they
would amount to $3.50, 600, 900, with OBJ
legations for $50, 000, 900 more for future
sessions.
senator Hale thought the amount
would be nearer $500, 00O, 900 for the ses-
sion. He said the tide of expenditures
was steadily rising. A few years ago
the country was shocked at a billion
dollar congress-" Soon we would have
a billion dollar session.
While Morgan was discussing the
shipping bill in the senate this after
noon, Spooner Of Wisconsin asserted
the shipping bill was not a party meas
ure. Allison of Iowa assented TO the
statement.
The ~postoffice appropriation bill
passed the house.
Amendments to strike out the appro-
priation for special mail facilities were
defeated.

Makes Hair


Perhaps your mother had
thin hair, but that is no reason
why you must 60 through life
with half-starved hair. Ifyou
want long, thick hair, feed it.
Feed it with Ayers Hair Vigor,
the only genuine hair food you
can buy.
Your hair will grow thick
and long, and will be soft and
glossy.
Ayers Hair Vigor always
restores color to gray hair; it
keeps the scalp clean and
healthy, and stops falling of
the hair.
