ITCHY SALT RHEUM
Sometimes Called Eerema-KemoVed
by Hoods SarsapariIla.

Salt rheum is one Of the worst
and unfortunately one Of the most
common of all diseases. How it
reddens the skin, itches, oozes, dries
and scales, and then does this all
over again! Sometimes it covers
the whole body with inhamed,
burning patches and causes intense
suffering.
Salt rheum comes from humors
in the blood. This is why local ap-
plications do so little good. 1t will
continue to exist, annoy, pain and
perhaps agonize, until these humors
have been removed.
Ask your druggist for Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t goes to the source
Of the trouble. 1t cleanses the
blood Of the humors that cause salt
rheum. 1t has given perfect salts
faction in thousands Of cases. Get

TANA SAILS.

Vera Cruz, May Bearing seven
teen flag-draped coffins, containing
the bodies of the American sailors and
marines killed since the occupation of
Vera Cruz. the armored cruiser Mon
tana steamed this afternoon at four
O'Clock directly for New York, where
she is due to arrive next Sunday.
The passage O.. one Montana through
the big fleet was marked by a beauti-
full and solemn ceremony. As the fun
eral ship got under way the fifteen
dread-noughts and battleships and the
six cruisers and gunboats half-masted
their colors, this example being fol-
lowed by the British, French and
Spanish warships, which were anchor
ed near by.
Through a lane between the first
and second divisions of the American
warships the Montana steamed slowly,
while the crews of all the vessels were
mustered to quarters and paraded on
the side nearest the funeral ship, the
blue jackets standing at attentino, the
marines presenting arms and the ships
bands playing a dirge. When the Mon
tana passed the last ship in line, up
went the flags to the tops again, and
as she was disappearing in the dis
tance, the buglers on all the Ameri-
can warships sounded taps"
Bull fights were resumed here this
afternoon, five tame and bony bulls
being sacrificed for the pleasure OF
the populace.
