FIN Honest
Tired Feeling

There is an "honest tired feel
ing" caused by necessary toll and
cured by natural rest.
But very different is "that tired
feeling" from which so many COM
plain and which may even be
classed as disease.
That tired feeling takes you to
bed tired and wakes you up tired.
You have no appetite, have bill
ious taste, dull headache, are ner-
vous and irritable, blue, weak and
discouraged.
In such conditions Hoods Sarsa-
parilla does a world of good.
1t begins in the right place-in
the blood, purifying it and impart-

felt by the stomach, kidneys and

is removed naturally, headaches
cease, that tired feeling departs and
you feel like a new person.
This has been the experience of
thousands.

In q recent letter to friend, a woman
says she has been troubled from her child
hood with an affection of the liver. Her
skin was sallow and the whites of her eyes
of yellowish color. II was always Ian
guild and weary and had no appetite. AS
my complaint grew worse was so low in
spirits and so intensely excitable and ner-
vous that felt as though could jump
out of the window.
SIN March, 1899, an old friend said I
ought to try a new medicine named Calcura
Solvent, which had the reputation of being
the best thing in the world for liver,
stomach and kidney complaints. She said
it was a new discovery by DR.. David
Kennedy.
"After taking the Calcura Solvent only
ten days I was greatly improved, and in
two or three months was well and strong
for the first time in my life. My spirits
are natural now. l enjoy myself like other
healthy woman, and you wouldn't think 1

THE BRITISH SCORED
Boer Minister Comes to Amer
lea to Raise Relief Funds.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN BAD PLIGHT
Held In Detention Camps Establish
ed by English Proops-Dr. Brock
huizen Says the AfriIxnnders
VIII Not BE Conquered.

NEW YORK, June 10.-The Rev. II.
d. Won Brockhuizen of Pretoria, South
Africa, the minister who closed the volks-
raad with prayer after President Kru-
gers ultimatum had been read to that
body, is in this city. His brother, DIR.
II. j. Won Brockhuizen of the Orange
Free State, who served in the Boer ar
my, accompanies him. Their mission in
this country is IL raise money for the
Boer women and children now in refuge
camps. Rev. DIR. Won Brockhuizen said
in an interview:
Our women and children, who are at
present concentrated in camps establish
ed by the British. are in horrible con-
dition. 1t was bad enough when | left
South Africa, but | know from letters
that | have received, one only the other
day from my sister, that it is a hundred
times worse now"
When the doctor left South Africa,
he says he was virtually banished by
order of General Maxwell. military gov
ernor of Pretoria. General Maxwell
wrote him that he had better leave the
country and provided Il second cabin
passage to Europe on the ground that in
asmuch as he would not take the oath
he was dangerous to the British cause.
DR.. Won Brockhuizen said further of the
camps:
in an official report made by Dr. Ro-
maid L. Mckenzie Of the British army ON
Feb. is of this year the British govern
ment is notified that the conditions are
horrible, the death rate appalling and
the food furnished wholly unfit to eat.
Nothing | or any one else has ever said
has been half as caustic as this arralgn-
ment of his own people by DR.. Mcken-
zie."
The Afrikandcrs, Rev. DIR. Won Brock
huizon AYERS, will never be overcome, and
all reports to the contrary are false. The
Boer army numbers 15.0o0 to 1IUoO
men and is constantly being augmented
by Cape Colony Beers. The Bocr forces
are now armed with Lee-Metford rifles,
he says, and they have tons of ammuni-
ton buried, which they can use at any
time against the British.

To Enlarge Governors Island.

WASHINGTON. June 11.-Oficers of
the war department are considering plans
for the enlargement Of Governors Island,
in New York harbor. The last congress
appropriated $260,0OO for this purpose,
100000 to be expended by the engineers
and 100000 under the direction of the
Quartermaster's department. The inn
provements contemplated will cost much
more than this sum if carried out, as it
is estimated that 81 800. 900 will be neces-
sary to enlarge the island, building the
sea walls, filling in with earth and build
ing a pier and warehouses for the army.
1t is probable, however, that plans will
be approved by the secretary of war by
which a part of the improvements can be
undertaken, leaving the larger plans to
be authorized by congress.

feast of roses" was celebrated ycstcr-
day at Mannheim. This annual feast of
roses was inaugurated in 1892. In that
year the congregation of Zion Lutheran
church of Mannheim placed memorial

the Indebtedness of the church to Baron
Henry William Stiegel. the founder of
Mannheim and the first glass and iron
manufacturer of note in the United
States, who in December, 1112, conveyed
to the trustees of the Lutheran congrega-
ton a plot of ground on which to erect
a church. This ground, decided forever to
the congregation by indenture. still pre-
served in the church archives, was to be
paid for by the annual presentation to
