Good Health

and pure blood are inseparable. If
your blood is bad, your health must suf-
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as a poor fire under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From poor blood to impure blood is but
. step, and impure blood is mother to a
large percentage of human ills. DR..
Harter's Iron Tonic Is an antidote for
both poor and impure blood, for it is
both . builder and purifier "a food

thousands of medical men who have

exp essed at a meeting Of the Business
Mems Association to-day over the dis
charge OF five members Of the militia COM

OF the killing and wounding Of the rioters
who attempted to storm the Jail in Evans
vile. Ever since the dispersion the mob
members of the labor unions have been
bringing pressure to bear upon the EN-
ployers of the militiamen and yesterday
five of the men were discharged.
At the meeting to-day speeches eulogiz-
ing the militia and bitterly arraigning the
employers of the five men were made and
resolutions to the same effect were adopted.
resolution was also passed favoring
efforts to find places for the discharged
men. The resolutions were offered by
Major A. c. Rosencranz. a manufacturer.
He said it was right to place the blame OF
the recent riot where 1t belonged. He
read from several labor papers that
advised union people not to become mem-
beers of the militia. 1T is time" he said,
that the business men and manufacturers
of the city were standing firm in this matter.
During the last six months there have been
a number of attempts to organize militia
companies in this city, and the attempts
were frustrated by the labor unions. l

from Cloy Woods, in which she makes
many misleading and false statements
about Best's death and reiterates her asser-
