Avoid Spring Ills.
Purify and Build Up the Blood with
Hoods Sarsaparila.

In the spring your blood needs
cleansing and enriching, largely be-
cause your diet has been chiefly heavy
and your life mostly indoors during
the winter. You feel poorly. and there
is more or less eruption on your face
and body. Your appetite is not good,
your steep is broken, and you are tired
all the time.
You need Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t is
the one safe and effective tonic that
has stood the test of forty years. 1t
makes the pure red blood that will
make you feel better, look better, eat
and sleep better. 1t is the old stand
ard tried and true all-the-yearround
medicine for the blood and the whole
system, and any druggist will supply
you.
Be sure to get Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Nothing else acts like it, for nothing
else has the same formula or ingre-
dents. Get it today.-Adv.

quite a number to be sure. but | think
that this years list will total up about
as many | know of 20 new ones to
be built already. and it is early yet.
When it comes to counting up at the
end of the year the number of houses
built the list is going to be a brig one.
But what gets me-" he went on lis
why the city don't grow faster. Here
we have been building houses for sew
eral years at the rate of from 80 to
so each year, and still the city does
not apparently grow much. The cen
sus of 1910 gave us a population Of
a little over $4,000, and there don't
seem to be many more people here
now, but at the same time you don't
find many vacant houses. How can
you explain it?"
