People with good blood possess strong,
steady nerves and are blest with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. If we could
always maintain the purity of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most of the ills that afflict
humanity and undermine the constitu-
ton are caused by an impoverished
or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
When the blood is diseased the skin
loses it's healthy appearance, and the
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full of
pinples and splotches. Itching, scaly
eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and is not supplying proper nourish-
ment to the system. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
sluggish, impure blood than any other
cause. To build up the blood, restore
and nutritious again is the only rations

Des Moines, June 3.-The food sit

to fall rapidly.
The wide territory that was flooded
presents a sad picture. Men and wo-
men who have anxiously watched for
the, water to go down wander over
the muddy streets to the houses which
had been homes. AS each one looked
through the door Of his home an ex-
preston of an almost abandoned hope
passed over his countenance. There,
within the ruins, furniture was seat
tered about the rooms, mud covered
the carpets and the walls were coated
with a dirty slime.

HOPE OF MERGER OFFICIALS.
Decision Depends on Interpretation OF
Sinqie Clause.

New York, June 3.-One of the OFF,
cials of the Northern Securities COM
pany said during the day that, while
there has been no material change in
the merger case as 1t will be taken up
on appeal, lawyers for the company
are more confident of winning their
case before the supreme court than
they were before the circuit court OF
appeals.
The line of argument before the su-
preme court will be substantially that
employed before the lower court.
The greatest fight will be made In
interpreting the phrase ''in restraint
of trade" which, the company's law
yers contend. means actual restraining
of trade, contrasted with power to
restrain, though that power may not
be exercised.

while on hunting trip last Noyem-

believed from the general circum-

Kansas City, June 3.-There Is de-

that Kansas City has seen the worst

they will be able to bring in ample

OF which can be taken out in boats,

posed, and there is no doubt that there
Is sufficient meat to sustain the city
for week, even if nothing is brought
In from outside. There is a greater
scarcity of food in Kansas City, Kan,
but with the opening of the electric

that there will be no distress of an
acute description.

The financial damage is estimated

no method of determining this with
any accuracy. One mans guess is as
good as another's. The great danger
now is the crumbling of brick build

ters where old buildings are standing.
Here and there the corner of brick
structure has gone down, but there
has been no general collapse as yet of
any large building All through the
