-BLOODINE-.
q
Will Help You
To Regain Your Strength
and Energy.
Report of the Head Physician I'm
leading New York Hospital :
on the Cure OF Cate. rrh.

"a few years ago we considered that
we were doing well if we cured ten per
cent. of the cases of catarrh brought
to us, but since the introduction of
"Bloodine" into our hospital we cure
more than 80 per cent. of all the cases
of Catarrh in its various forms brought
to US. Catarrh Of the Head, Catarrh
of the Eyes, Catarrh of the Bladder
and Uretha, Catarrh of the large in
testines, Catarrh of the Larynx, Pelvic
Catarrh, Catarrh of the Throat, and
Catarrh of the Stomach are quickly
cured with "Bloodine." 1t buildsnew
tissues, gives new energy, new life,
new blood and strength to any part of
the body attacked by the Catarrhal
germs"
Bloodine is powerful tonic, nour-
fShing food medicine, composed OF
valuable tonic stimulants obtained
from vegetable drugs. "Bloodine"
contains no narcotics or other danger
GUS drugs which merely deaden pain
temporarily, but give no permanent
relief or cure the cause of your disease
"Bloodine Is powerful body builder
and blood maker; it is the best remedy
known to the medical profession to
enrich thin, watery blood and supply
new, rich red blood to the whole body.

merits of BLOODINE we will mail =

green. and wherever these little cases
occur, pick and shovel will un-

Henry Block. editor of the Syracuse

break out of the banks of the other
creeks enumerated above.
These springs are always on the
west side of the creeks, never on the
east side. Mr.. Block says they occur
only where the Dakota sandstone
crops out and from the pores of this
stone the water flows and comes down
the creek bed until it sinks in the
sand. That it is the same water found
in the depth OF the Santa Fe Well in
Syracuse is apparent from taste and
use, aid being so far away from the
fiat land of the river valley it is an in
dication at least that the same flow
of water, by boring, some day will be
found remote from that stream At

WHY EvERYsoDy LIKES SAND.
Love of II Is Universal and Is Felt at
All Ages.

The love of sand is universal, felt
by all, and at all ages. The child finds
in it ready and plentiful material
for giving something of definiteness
to the world of his Imagination. and
when experience shall have proved
the real world to be less pleasant and
not expressible in sand he neverthe-
less as grown man >tacitly admits
the attraction of the old-time medium
and spends his holidays upon it. No
watering place need trouble as to it's
prosperity if it has broad forefront
of sand
Probably so general and ingrained
love is only to be accounted for az
the result of a sympathetic and un-
conscious barking back to the feel
of the life on the dry sandy soils of
the east, upon which man first wan
dered and in which he first delved,
says the London Spectator. He can
sit or lie with greater comfort and
ease-as he originally sat, without
chair or lay with out couch-upon
sand than upon any other kind OF
earth and upon sand he reverts read
lily and without fear of convention to
primeval barefootedness. Possibly
even the charm of the ''sanded floor"
in the concrete to our forefathers,
the comfort and coziness of CHEEKY inn
parlors and kitchens warm with the
rudy heat of glowing logs on snowy
nights-may also be due to vaguely
assertive instinct
In proof it may be -eadily conclud-
ed that far distant man would not
have been long in finding out the ad-
vantages of dry cave as a dwelling
place. 1t would be found most readily
in soft, friable rocks. The natural
and further easy expansion of the
cave to meet growing demands for
house room by scraping down of roof
and sides would result in a sanded
floor. Litter of rude cave living and
housekeeping could be more easily
swept out with the leafy bough OF
bunch of edges acting as the original
broom when mixed with sand than
without it's aid. The savage family
which swept the cave out oftenest
and most thoroughly would certainly
be the healthiest and strongest.

OF AID TO HOSTESS
SUGGESTIONS THAT MAY PROVE

Some Pretty Ways for Entertaining
the Fortunate Modern Bride-The
Book Shower" One of Them
Game for Children,

The bride of to-day is very lucky
individual, for, besides her wedding
presents, she has all sorts of delight
full affairs given by her intimate
friends. There are stocking" hand
kerchief," plate and cup and saucer
linen" book" flower" kitchen"
and novelty showers Some or all
of these functions are likely to fall to
the lot of girl who announces her en-
gagement, and who gives her friends
this opportunity to show their good
will. Great care should be taken that
only ones nearest and dearest friends
are asked to parties of this kind :;
strangers or mere calling acquaint-
ances should not be asked to contrib
ute, for it would be embarrassing both
to the giver and the recipient; this
is one of the instances where a host
ess must be sure of who the BRIDE
elect would like to be present Re-
member that the gift without the
giver is bare
One of the very latest fads is a
turnover collar shower Each guest
is asked to bring material for a turn
over and her thimble, and at the con
clusion of an afternoon the fair 1--WE
take it for granted that adjective ap-
plies, as it seems to be the preroga-
tive OF a bride to be termed thusly)
bride-to-be will have a number of
these useful accessories to her trous-
seau.
The book shower must be ar
ranged by person who can find out
what volumes the recipient does not
possess, so there will not be dupli-
Gates. The name of the donor with
an inscription will greatly enhance the
value of the gift, and it is safe to say
that this collection will be more than
nrized when placed upon the book
shelves of the new home. The hand
kerchief and linen showers are both
pretty. Each article can be thrown
at the bride until she is fairly buried
under the white offering.
The china" shower is always a ia
vorite, and unique way was devised
for the stocking shower by having a
large shoe candy box in the center
OF the luncheon table with a ribbon
going to each place; when the rib,
bons were pulled all drew out favors
except the 'honored guest. who drew
out number of white packages, all
rolled tight in white tissue paper
a pair of silk hose from each guest
present.
A flower shower is the very pref
test OF all. and should be given the
day before the wedding. Each guest
brings a bunch of flowers. and the
bride is literally showered with bios
SONS from huge floral ball suspend
ed in doorway. Have a large ball
made of wire, cover with moss and
fill closely with flowers; carnations
make perfect sphere The ball is
made in halves and filled with rose
petals. When farewells are being said
the hostess pulls a ribbon which sep
arates the two halves, releasing the
petals, which fall upon the young
woman who is about to leave the
realm of single blessedness for the
new and unknown way This scatter
ing rose leaves on the halfway
OF bride is very old custom.
