PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE
Hoods Sarsaparilla, 0ld-Time Remedy,
Makes Pure Blood.

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and effec-
lively removes serofula, boils and other
blood diseases, because it drives out OF
the blood all the humors that cause
these diseases They cannot be sue
cessfully treated in any other way. The
use of external applications for their
removal has been proven to be 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 Hoods, for nothing
else acts like it. Get it from your drug
gist to.day.--Advt.

AUTO DEALERS WILL APPEAL.
Object to Payment of $50 Registra-
ton Tax.

Richmond, Dec. 3.-The Virginia
Supreme Court Of Appeals will have
to determine whether automobile
dealer shall be required to pay for
a $50 State registration certificate
annually, Judge Richardson having
decided late Tuesday in Hastings
Court case in this connection
against B. A. Blenner a local deal
er, who protested payment in order
to test the act.
1t is the contention Of Mr.. Blcn,
ner's council that the act is null and
void because the object is not en-
pressed in the title.
SINCE the law went into effect in
1910 it is estimated that fully $4,000
has been paid into the State Treas
ury for registration certificates. If
the law is upset a refund Of this
money could be accomplished only by
special Legislative act.
The auto dealers contend that tAe
regular mercantile license tax is all
that they should be required to pay.
Mr.. Blenner was represented by At
torney George E Wise who noted
an appeal to the State appellate
court Immediately after Judge Rich
ardson announced his deciion.
