It puts vigor and energy into rundown. debilitated men and women. For many years Sar- saparilla alone has been considered a good blood medicine. But while 1t built up and made new blood, the tm-, purities remained within and the com bination with Compound Kargon and Extract Dandelion worked wonders. This combination puts the kidneys to work to filter and sift out the waste matter, uric acid and other impurities that cause disease. It makes new blood and relieves rheumatism and lame back and bladder troubles.
 This prescription is better than the usual patent medicines, which are in the most part alcoholic connections. The ingredients cost but little and are easily mixed at home.

PASSIVE RESISTERS GO TO
 JAIL BECAUSE OF TAX.
Refuse to Pay What They Term an Unjust Levy, Ministers Being
 Among the Number.

Refuse to Pay What They Term an
 Unjust Levy, Ministers Being
 Among the Number.
 London. March 2l-All over England the Passive Resistance campaign goes on without cessation. The number or those willing to endure the discomfort of a jaIl for a short time rather than pay an unjust tax Is not large as yet. but unless the present education plll passes there will be many recruits within the year.
 It has been mainly outside the Church of England that the protest has gone so far as to suffer imprison- ment' The Non-conformists have felt more than others. perhaps, the injus- tice and intolerance of the local of- ficals in levying an education tax when for three years every possible obstacle has been placed In the way of the voluntary school managers Teachers have been deprived of thelr proper salaries. the efficiency of the staff has had to be sacrificed and in many cases the law of the land open | ly defied Maintenance of some | schools has been refused altogether, but the tax has been levied on all alike.
 It was somewhat of a surprise. how ever, when the Vicar of Swansea, the | Rev. Hon. Talbot Rice. one of the most l pronounced ana unCOnpTOIulblHS evan l gelicals, and not a High Church bigot. declared his intention of going to Jail rather than pay the education tax having been incensed by an injustice | to the Church day schools at Swansea. He sent a check for his semi-annual tax, but deducted about $50 as the education tax. MT. Rice Is son or Lord Dynevor and a member of an | ancient Welsh family one that traces It's lineage back beyond the Norman conquest. He graduated with distinc- tion in theology. which Is the most 1 difficult school at Oxford. with the l possible exception of the Classical | Greats, and is a strenuous and mill tant defender of the Low Church par ty, so that his position adds much to the strength of those who have de- | fled the law with him.
 | Recently at Wood Green there was | sale of eighteen lots, due to non-pay- ment of the tax. Immediately after ward pr. Clifford addressed public meeting at the Baptist Shaftesbury Hall commenting those who had sacrificed their land. He promised that prison reform would be one of the results of the fight made by the Fas- sive Resisters, as they were all col Iecting information to that end. lie declared the principles they advocated
