SPLENDID April Tonic.

This is known as "Blood-Cleanine
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 it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelton one-halt
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 a 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.

IN PLOT AGAINST ROOSEVELT.
Eastern Reds Said to Plan As
SuSSinatiOn


An alleged plot on the part of Penn
sylvania anarchists, who are said to
have headquarters at Hazelton, to as
sassinate President Roosevelt is being
investigated by the the United States
secret service.
Information which led to the in
vestigation was given to the officers
by Chief of Police Adams of Newark,
n. j., few days ago just before he
shot and killed himself. The chief
told the secret service officials that
he obtained his information from Jan
Bartula, who recently came to New
ark from Audenried, Pa, and who
claims to be member of the band of
conspiracy. He said they had gone
back on him and it was with a desire
to be revenged upon them that he
exposed the plot. He gave Chief Adj
ans the names of several persons
who, he said, were implicated in the
plot, and further said that CzuIgosz,
who assassinated President Mckinley,
had been member of the band.
Chief Flynn, of the New York dis
trict of the United States secret serv-
ice, has had several men at work on
the case ever since the information
was given him by Chief Adams. They
have interviewed Bartula, and he told
them practically the same story.

Protection OF American Birds.


The movement for the protection Of
birds in America has long since as
sumed formidable proportions, says
American Homes and Gardens. Much
of the credit for the work accomplish.
ed is due to the Audubon societies,
which exist in thirty-ive States, and
which for a number of years have car.
ried on an active work for the conserv.
ing of bird life. The results accom-.
plished are considerable. A model
law drawn up by the American Orni'
biologists union is now in force in
thirty States and the District of Co.
lumbia. The Lacey law excludes from
interstate commerce all birds killed IL.
legally in any State. and makes those
'"cjtimately killed subject to the law
the State in which they are bought
Laws prohibiting the sale Of game
out Of season, even when killed in sea-
son, look toward the same end OF con.
serving bird life. Public attention has
been aroused on the subject, and even
the manufacturer Of air rifles no long
err calls attention to the fact that they
will kill small game within short dis.
tances. Absolute protection has not
yet been given the birds everywhere,
but a great and important work has
been well begun and Is being carried
forward.

This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this = d

host of nervous irritations make life q
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form

Such warning symptoms as sense

backaches, melancholia, dread of inn
