A BRAcING TONIC
How to Knock Out Spring Fever with
A Reliable Spring Tonic.

Spring fever is nothing in the world
but a run down stomach overworked
with an excess of meats, canned goods
and other food eaten freely in cold
weather. When your stomach is not
working right neither are you.
So, to get yourself in shape you
must give your stomach the tonic it
needs. Give your stomach simple
remedy that will set it to working
right, and at the same time brace up
your entire system.
Here is a receipt for home prepar-
ed stomach tonic that will do the work
in a jiffy:
Logos Stomach Tonic. one so cent
bottle e OF; port wine, enough to
make one pint. That's all there is to
it-simple but effective.
You can find no tonic that is easier
to take or is more acceptable to your
system than LOGOS Stomach Tonic
Two teaspoonfuls after meals do the
business. Don't delay, but prepare a
supply at once.
Logos Stomach Tonic Extract can be
obtained at any first class druggists
for so cents for two ounces.

DR.. A. B. Simpsons Vegetable Com
pound has fer forty years been known
as the most powerful of all alternatives
or blood purifiers. There has never
been case OF blood poison (even syph-
ilis) or skin disease that it could not
cure. Thousands Of women take it
regularly to keep their blood healthy
and their complexion clear.
1t is purely vegetable and harmless
1t was originally the prescription of DR..
A. B. Simpson. who was one of the
most celebrated physicians OF the mid

splendor and magnitude any outdoor
religious service ever conducted in the
district. the memorial mass celebrated
in the monument grounds Sunday
morning as a tribute to the soldier
dead of the nation was attended by an
assemblage of 10000 persons. II was
the first field mass ever celebrated in
Washington. President Taft was rev.
erent participant in the solemn serv-
ice.
The service and the parade which
preceded ii were an unusual informing
ling of the civic. the military and re-
ligious. The monster parade was an
awe inspiring spectacle. The observ-
ance was carried out under the aus
pices of the Spanish War veterans.
The altar of snow wilderness was
placed in a beautiful setting of palms
and bay trees, banked high with the
seasons choicest flowers. The cele-

was rendered by the sanctuary choir
of st. Patrick's church and a mixed
choir of 125 voices.
The sanctuary choir of st. Aloysius

to the grounds.
The preacher of the day, Rev. Eu.
gene Mcdonnell, sounded the keynote
of the observance when he announced
as his text the words of ST. John:
Greater love than this no man hath
that a man lay down his life for his
friends"
He said in part: The Catholic
