SPLENDID APRIL TONIC.



This is known as "Blood- Cleaning
Time" especially among the older
folks, who always take something dur;
ing this month to clean the blood Of
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by a well-known authority, and any
one can prepare 1t at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing well in bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov-
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season. especially those who are
subject to Rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
1t is said that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores,
pimples or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.

A $4,000 TREASURY ROBBERY.
Clever Work of Detective Revealed
the Thief.

The robbery of the sub-treasury in
Chicago recalls the fact that the
treasury department in Washington
was the victim of $4,000 theft about
80 years ago. At first, although no
reasonable explanation of how the
thing could have been done by an out
slider could be given, 1t was assumed
that 1t was the work of some one I'M
connected with the office in which the
robbery occurred. 1t was not long,
however, before clever detective
became acquainted with the fact that
one Of the clerks who might have had
access to the bundle of bills was ac-
quainted with a professional gambler
of shady antecedents. That discovery
solved the problem. A little patient
watching resulted in catching the
gambler with the stolen notes, and
the rest was easy. The clerk was ar
rested, and, while in confinement, was
given to understand that he was be
trayed, whereupon he confessed the
robbery, which was accomplished by
showing the package of notes, all of
large denominations, into position
where they could be "snaked up
with cane provided with hook.

Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian,
while in New Orleans few months
ago, took the opportunity Of going to
the races. During the afternoon he
cashed several tickets, the result of
good guesses. He was feeling happy
after the last race, and started for
the automobile which was to convey
him back to his hotel. AS he was
about to climb into the machine he
felt hand on his arm, and man,
shouted in his ear;
Hello, Hitchcock, how are you?

Hitchcock blushed and shook hands
sheepishly, not Recognizing the man,
and not wishIna7 show 1t.
