Exposure to Disease Germs
In the Spring
Is greater than at any other season, because the
blood, having been vitiated, impoverished and de-
vtalized during the WINTER mostly by unhealthful
modes of living, has less power to defend the bodv.

Loss of appetite, pimples and other eruptions,
bad complexion, languor and .lassitude, mental
and physical WEAKNESS, so common at this time
Of year, are all indications that the blood is
wanting in the power to defend the body, be-
cause they all indications that it needs cleans
ing, enriching and vitalizing.
The medicine to take is Hoods Sarsaparilla,
according to the experience and testimony Of
thousands Of people every spring.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the blood of the
right quality and quantity, -normal in red and
white corpuscles and all other constituents
1t cures all humors, catarrh and rheumatism,
relieves that tired feeling restores the appetite,
cures paleness, weakness, nervousness, and builds
up the whole system.
1t will make you feel better, look BETTER eat
and sleep better, and give you the best protection
possible against all infectious and contagious
diseases.
q II am glad that such a medicine as Hoods
Sarsapara can be had, and l write this letter
to thank you for it. My experience may help
someone else by telling them where / good med-
cine for them may be found, and ! will say,

Corn Raised on Rea Farm South of
City Demonstrates PractibiIity
of the Crop.

Is North Dakota in the corn belt
1t is. That has again been demon
strated in a material way that tells
more in five minutes than a year OF
theory, This evidence is in the form
Of three ears of Red Dent corn which
was brought to The Forum office this
morning from the Rea farm south OF
the city.
Ten inches in length and six and
three-fourth inches in circumference
around the butt, was the measure
ments of these ears. Every kernel
was sound, fully matured and per-
fectly ripe. This was the average OF
ears taken from the field of twenty
acres which will reach a yield equal
to the average in the south.
Aside from showing good grade
of corn it demonstrates another thing
that is vastly important in this Sec
tion of the country That is, that
corn can be raised here which will
mature before frost in the average
season. while there is every reason
to believe that frost is still some weeks
distant, this field of corn could be
harvested now without damaging the
quality or weight of the crop
