PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and eff
fectively removes scrofula, boils and
other blood diseases because it drives
out of the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot be-
successfully treated in any other way.
External applications for their re-
movai have proven almost useless,
because they cannot drive out the
impurities that are in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
rich blood, perfects the digestion, and
builds up the whole system. The skin
becomes smooth, clean and healthy.
This great blood remedy has stood the
test Of forty years. Insist on having
Hoods, for nothing else acts like it.
There is no real substitute. Get it
today. Sold by all druggists.

BOMBS IN OTIS?
Violation of Neutrality Reported
from Up-river Town.

The Boston Globe gives this yarn an
Otis date line. It's good reading, but
well, here's the story:
OTIs, Me-, Dec. 10 - Elmer Babb and
Clarence Soper will be ss.9S shy on their
Christmas money, for that is what they
will have to pay for indemnity in their
war operations resulting in damage to the
schoolhouse in district No. Z.
Some Of the people thought that they
ought to be punished more, but Squire
Hopkins said that Elmer's father was one
Of the best soldiers that went to tha front
in the I'd Maine regiment, and the grand
father OF Clarence fought in the Mexican
war, so that the boys came honestly by
their military spirit. Besides, the great
est ordnance experts in the world have
made miscalculations.
The boys had read lot about bomb
dropping in the war in Europe, and rugged
up a bomb made Of a~tonato can, loaded
with powder and bits of old iron for
shrapnel, and tied it to big box kite.
They contriyed an ingenious trigger ar
rangement, which would release the bomb
by a sudden Stacking Of the strain on the
kite cord.
After sending up several dummy bombs
which were dropped nicely, they planned
an attack upon an abandoned shack
down in the Soper meadow with the real
bomb. They made garrison, with
pumpkins for brave defenders OF the
"fort", and sent up the kite with long
lighted fuse attached to the bomb, after
making careful calculations as TO the
aerial attack.
But something went wrong with the
mechanism OF the bomb releasing device,
and Just as the kite was sailing over the
schoolhouse, which wasn't in the enemy's
country at all, the bomb came down and
landed plump in the schooihouse chimney.
The boys say that they couldn't have hit
the chimney in 1000 years II they tried.
Fortunately, school wasn't keeping and
it was lucky that the bomb caught little
way down the fiue, so when it went OH All
it did was to blow the top of the chimney,
knock down the stovepipe, Ali the room
full of SCOT and ashes, and jar down the
-picture of Abraham Lincoln, smashing the
glass.
Some OF the neighbors were very much
mt out about "such actions, and wanted
the boys prosecuted, but Squire Hopkins
who is past commander OF the q. A. n.
most. said that while be would nave 10
take official cognizance OF damage 10 the
