The Renewal a Strain.

Vacation is over. Again the school
bell rings at morning and at noon, again
with tens of thousands the hardest kind
of work has begun, the renewal of
which is mental and physical strain
to all except the most rugged. The lit
tie girl that few days ago had roses in
her cheeks, and the little boy whose
lips were then so red you would have
insisted that they had been "kissed by
strawberries" have already lost some
thing of the appearance of health. Now
is time when many children should
be given tonic, which may avert much
serious trouble, and we know of no 9th
err so highly recommended as Hoods
Sarsparilla, which strengthens the
nerves, perfects digestion and assimila-
ton, and aids mental development by
building up the whole system.

A TYPICAL South African Store.

OR. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays
River, Cape Colony, conducts a store
typical of South Africa, at which can
be purchased anything from the pro-
verbal "needle to an anchor" This
store is situated in valley nine miles
from the nearest railway station and
about twenty five miles from the near
est town. Mr., Larson says: 81 am
favored with the custom of farmers
within radius of thirty miles, to many
of whom have supplied Chamberlain s
remedies. All testify to their value in
a household where q doctors advice is
almost out of the question: Within one
mile of my store the population is per-
haps sixty. OF these, within the past
twelve months, no less than fourteen
have been absolutely cured by Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, This must

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent author
tiles. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and still
another bones. A correct died will not
only nourish a particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, its nutriment is destroyed by
Indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates the
liver to healthy action, pCrifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and vigor-

HARBOR WORK POSTPONED
Committee Needs Additional Funds for

The Committee on Improvement of

some time considering the dredging Of
The Richmond harbor. but took no final
Rcion. One bid submitted was rejected
Ind the whole matter postponed. In the

Work, and to procure the necessary funds
It was decided that the whole committee
