DEMAND FOR p p

A representative of one of the larg
est copper interests in the world says:
The activity of copper is absolutely
legitimate, and is based entirely upon
the conditions of supply and demand.
During 1902 25 per cen more copper
was used than ever before. The supply
is exhausted. That it has advanced
from IL to 1873 cents for lake copper
within a little more than a year is not
extraordinary. The marvellous devel-
opment of electric work the world
over, and particularly in the United
States. is the cause. Last year 170.-
900 900 pounds of copper were used for
wire in electrical appliances in this

Best Spring Remedy Ever Formulated
.PA|NE'S CELERY COMPOUND
Miss e. n. Swan Completely Cured of Terrible Blood
Troubles That Doctors Could Not Relieve.

In the month Of May it is an abso-
lutte necessity that the body should be
furnished with a richer and purer sup
ply of blood for the establishment of a
health that can successfully cope with
the e~nnervating effects of hot summer
weather. Poor blood in May produces
listless, a~mbitionless, sleepless, and
sallow faced men and women, who
quickly become victims of some organ
ic disease that ends life.
Intelligent people recognize the ne
cessity of cleansing and fortifying
the system in May by using Paine's
Celery Compound, which speedily re-
moves all poisons from the system.
and gives to the thin, watery blood a
larger proportion of red corpuscles.
and arouses all the organs OF the body
to healthy action. Paine's Celery
Compound does a work for victims OF
impure blood that commands the atten-
ton of the most imminent medical
