bers, in order to take in representa-
tives of the many new manufacturing
and commercial enterprises that are
coming into every section Of the bor-

tary of the organization since its for

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-
moval 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 ii.
There is no real substitute. Get it

The recent publication of history of

the fact that the writer was member
of an earlier club of Washington corre-
spcndents-a club that had no name or
officers-that entertained at its animal
dinners officials and distinguished people,
as the Gridiron club does today. The
guests included members of the Cabinet,
Senate and House, generally those who
had some connection with newspapers,
past or present, and among the noted
guests we recall Mark Twain, Stanley,
on his return from Africa after his res
cue of DR.. Livingstone, and President
Grant. The dinners were generally
given at Wizards, but the one at which
President Grant land Tom Nast) was
present was at Welcker's, the most
noted restaurant of its day, but which,
with Wormly's, conducted by a colored
caterer of that name, long since went out
of existence. While this club was ex-
tant H. T. Hembold, New York drug
gist who had made phenomenal success
in selling patent medicine called Buchu,

dash. With gayly caparisoned six in
hand and a gorgeous carriage he drove
up and down Pennsylvania avenue, at
tracing as much attention as circus
parade. Then he invited the Washing
ton correspondents to a banquet at Will
lard's, and many of them accepted. A
few-the wiser ones as it proved de
clined. The banquet came off, and later,
in place of the column Buchu advertise
ment in the daily papers all over the
country. appeared report of the affair
which included the names of all the news
paper men present. Then these corre-
spondents heard from the editors of their
respective newspapers, and the Buchu
banquet left an unpleasant taste in their
mouths. If memory serves Alright the
club withouta name gave no more din
ners after that.
