LIFE GUARDS.

The Life Guards are two regiments of cavalry forming part of the British household trn,pS. They are gallant soldiers, and every loyal British heart is proud of them. Not only the kings household, but yours, ouls, everybody s should have it's life guards. The need of them is especially great when the greatestfoes of life: ,:diseases, ind allies in the very clements, as colds, influ- enza, catarrh, the grip and pneumonia do in the stormy month of March.
 Fhe best way that we know of to guard against these diseases is to strengthen the system with Hoods Sar- saparilla-the greatest of all life guards. It removes the conditions in which these diseases make their most successful attack, gives vigor and tone to all the vital organs and functions, and imparts genial warmth to the blood. Remember the weaker the sys- tenn the greater the exposure to dis ease. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the system strong

DEATH RATE DECREASING.

The 1900 census shows decrease of 10 per cent in the general death rate. The decline in consumption is more marked than any other disease. Many causes are attributed, but it is safe to say that Dr Kings New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds is re- sponsible for the decline, to a large extent. Many life has been saved by its use. There is nothing anywhere just as good for lung and throat troubles. It's positively guaranteed by Tor, Curtis & Co.,, Sandy Hook; B. Hawley, Sherman; A. w.

The United States postOffice department at Washington has issued an order which shows reversal of the usual policy of the government relative to the names and addresses of
 persons who are served with mail. On and after January l the postoff1ce officials are instructed to take census of the persons on each rural free de- livery route with the number of the
 box and their location as near as pos sible. Lists of these will be made out and posted in conspicuous place in the postOffice from which the delivery is made and those on the same route, for public inspection. Heretofore the postal authorities have been instructed not to give the name and address of any person receiving or sending mail at the postoffice unless in very special cases. The plan now ordered will
 facilitate the transmission of letters on these routes and give the merchants good directory from which te select
 names for the purpose of sending out circulars, catalogues, etc. Postmaster Sniffen has compiled list of the pa trons in the territory covered by his two routes and posted the list in the lobby of the Sandy Hook office.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Minister
Bowen has played his last card In
the Venezuelan controversy by Off
cially notifying the diplomatic rep
resentatives Of the three blockading
powers that if they insist on prefer
entail treatment of their claims, he
will call in the representatives of the
IL other creditor nations and give
them . statement Of the situation.
This will give them an opportunity
to protest against the action of Ger
many, GreatSBritain and Italy in in
sisting on preferential treatment.
The result of this would be to Gre
ate an alliance of all the European
nations. including Russia and the
United States, against the blockading
powers, and probably result In the
raising of the blockade as well as an
agreement on the part Of the allies
to settle their claims without re-
ceiving any advantage over the other
creditor nations.

, II is not generally known that in
many parts of the world clay is eaten
on bread as a substitute for butter.
This is termed 'stone butter" and is
used in Germany. In the northern
parts Of Sweden earth is often baked
In bread, and Is sold in the public
markets on the Italian peninsula, as
well as on the Island of Sardinia, Per-
sia. Nubia. and other tropical coun-
tries. This practice probably had its
origin in the knowledge that all earths
have soniO sort Of favor, and take the
place Of salt, a necessary ingredient in
all kinds Of food.
