EDITORIAL INK DROPS.

Sandy Hook enjoyed the interesting
 and edifying spectacle of a Sunday ball
 game in which some of the popular
 element among the young men partic-
 ipated. The game was interesting and
 orderly throughout, it is said, fact
 which of course is creditable to those
 who participated. Opinions vary wide
 ly as to the right or wrong of sports
 and athletics on the. Lords day. We are of the opinion that if the young
 men who participated were closely con
 fined in factories six days out of the seven days, it would be permissible, provided of course the young men did not first neglect their duties to wor- ship God in the churches of their choice. But in rural community like our own, with the local industries run ming on three days week or so, and the fact that here life does not take on the rush of the metropolis, the practice of Sunday public ball games seems in bad taste, aid against the best code of morals. Too often the Sunday ball game and Sunday athletics take on the added necessity of beer guzzling and debauchery, but in the case under dis cussion everything was in good order. No man should live to himself alone, and those who plan ball games and pubic clam bakes for Sunday, ought to bear this in mind. Let us preserve the sanctity of the Sabbath so far as we can, for in doing so we believe we honor our Maker. This is old-fashioned doctrine, but doesn't it need reiterat- ing once in awhile? In Tuesday nights # -. Standard we note the people of Green wich have set out to put stop to Sun day ball playing, and have appealed to Sheriff Hawley, who according to the dispatch, has ordered his deputy to in- vestigate the matter.

If one feels dull and spiritless, in the spring or early summer, they call it Spring Fever" But there is no fe- yer usually. It is the after effect of our winter habits. The nerves are mostly at fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave us languid. lifeless, and without spirit or ambition. A few doses of Dr Shoop's Restorative will absolutely and quickly change all of these depressing symptoms The Restorative of course won't bring you back to full health in day or two, but it will do enough in AS hours to satisfy you that the remedy is reaching that tired spot" Drug gists everywhere are advising its use as a splendid and prompt general tonic. It gives more vim and more spirit to the spoonful than any other known nerve or constitutional tonic. It sharp ems failing appetite, aids digestion, frees sluggish livers and kidneys, and brings new life, strength and ambition. Test it few days and be convinced. Sold by all dealers.
