Spinach a line Ionic.

Spinach should put in a frequent
appearance OF the table as it is a Won
derful tonic. 1t is "a very wholesome
vegetable and has a beneficial effect
upon the digestion.
1t is frequently recommended by
the doctor to those in middle and al.
vanced life. 1t is light and laxa-
tive and wonderful properties have
been ascribed to it.
It is useful in cases of rheumatism,
though, in this respect not quite so
valuable as celery which all equity sub
jects should partake Of, not raw, but
cooked.

ton of the muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and is sometimes accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting and does not confine itself
to any one part of tho body, but after
settling in one joint OF muscle for a
time, leaves it and passes on to another.
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may give relief from pain
for a time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red and healthy. When the blood is
pure there can be no rheumatism.
Mrs. Ellen A. Russell, Of South Golf
St., Auburn, Me-, says: 81 had been
sick for fifteen years from impure blood,
brought ON by overwork. My heart was
weak and my hands colorless. [ was
troubled with Indigestion and vomiting
spells, which came on every few months.
l had no appetite and used to have awful
fainting spells, falling down when at
my work. l frequently felt numb all
over. My head ached continuously for
five years.
"About two years ago I began to feel
rheumatism in my joints, which became
so lame l could hardly walk. My joints
were swollen and panied me terribly.
"Dr. Williams Pink Pills were rec
commended to me by a friend, after I had
failed to get well from the doctors
treatment. When I began taking the
pills, the rheumatism was at its worst.
I had taken only a few boxes, when the
headaches stopped and not long after
ward 1 felt the pain in my joints be-
coming less and less, until there was
none at all. The stiffness was gone and
I have never had any return of the rheu-
matism."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have cured
such diseases as V and general
debility, indigestion, nervous headache,
neuralgia and Eve partial paral ysis and
locomotor ataxia. AS a tonic for the
blood and nerves they are u~nequalled.

way approaching a building, they drop
a train of syrup from this way to the
nearest nest of black ants. The first

They return to their nest, and in a
few hours a black army starts out for

fury they rush into the galleries, and
in a short time entirely destroy the

home, carries a dead termite. proba-

THE NEW ADMIN
ISTRATION

The new city administration is
now in full swing. The mayor ap-
pointed his cabinet, last Monday
night, and the new officers have
taken their places.
No, His Honor, the mayor did not
make, in every case, his appoint
ments just as we would have done.
However we do not see that we are
justified in calling Mr.. Gray ugly
names because he did not appoint to
these places, in every case, the men
we would have appointed. After
all the appolntees are pretty good
lot. We doubt if any other max
in the city would have appointed
the same men. Yet, dozeI diff
ferent men might select dozen sells
of officers and all of them average
up well as good representative men
for the various places.
There was good deal of pulling
and cat hauling about this appoint
ment business. There were a good
many applicants for the various
places and the mayor was inter-
viewed and importuned several
times.
Then the council got in the game
and said few things and the mayor
had rather sultry time of 1t to get
the thing lroned out. Our hope is
that all the appointees Will do good
work for the city and please the
people.
The Office of mayor brings many
duties and cares and requires much
valuables time and attention, all OF
which services are paid In honor
and abuse. 1t now becomes the
duty of every law abiding citizen to
assist in making the coming admin
istratlon success in every way pos
sible. To help along should be the
effort of every man, and not to
hinder. The appointments, as far
as made, are as follows:
