WOMAN FOR KITCHEN WORK At
the Community Club. Gardiner, Maine
Telephone 3U1. feb21d1t
The Republican journal., 1915-04-01

Those interested in the promotion of
Boys Clubs in Waldo county-and the
boys themselves-s should be encouraged
by what has been done by like organiza-
lions in the State of Texas. Just TOTO
boys were engaged in the Boys Corn
Club contests in that State last year, and
the winner of the first prize was John
Hubert Ross of Rusk County. His crop
on one acre, authenticated to a degree
that precludes quibbling, was 1854 bush
els. He did it at cost slightly more
than nine cents a bushel. Other contest
ants made l48 bushels, 145 bushels,
al Ia bushels and 81 bushels. The av-
erage of the yield of all those engaging
in the contest was 80 9 bushels per acre,
at an average cost of IS cents bushel.
The average yield of corn for Texas dur
ing the last ten years has been 10 BUSH
els, SO that these boys exceeded it by
twenty bushels Following the methods
prescribed by science, they more than
doubled the average yield of the State.
Men, one should think, ought to do still
better by following the same methods.
Texas, like Maine, has been importing
corn, but now bids fair at no distant day
TO become corn State.

The HIGH BA|L|FF
OF chittenden County, VT, Tells How
He Keeps His Blood Pure.

Bailiff Romeo A. Norton, Hunting
ton Centre, VT, says:
Il am enjoying good health, keeping
my blood pure by the use of Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1t is the best, and l
always have it in the house.
Il was completely laid UP with
1nf1ammatory rheumatism 1 tried
several different medicines, and en-
ployed skilful doctor, but did not get
any better. Having known about
Hoods Sarsaparilla for fifteen years,
l concluded to give it trial. After
taking the first bottle I began to i'm
prove, so 1 took several bottles more.
and was entirely cured. I have the
utmost confidence in this medicine as
a blood purifier and spring tonic"
rheumatism depends on uric acid
in the blood, and thousands of cases
have been successfully treated with
Hoods Sarsaparilla which purifies
and enriches the blood and builds up
the whole system
Hoods Sarsaparilla is a peculiar
combination of blood-purifying and
strength giving substances. No other
medicine has the same formula or in
gradients. 1t is an all-the-year-
round constitutional remedy and the
best spring medicine.
Accept no substitute, but get Hoods
and get it today.
