A SPRING TONIC
Old Reliable Hoods Sarsapari'ia 10
Pleasant and Effective.

In the spring your blood is impure
and weak, eruptions appear on your
face and body, you lack vitality,
strength and animation, your appetite
is poor and you feel all tired out.
Get Hoods Sarsaparilla from any
druggist. It combines just the roots,
tarks, herbs and other substances that
you need.
1t purifies and strengthens the
blood-makes the rich red blood that
you must have to feel we'll, look well,
eat and sleep we'll. This is confirmed
by thousands of letters from people
in all parts of the, country.
Hoods ,Sarsaparilla is the best
spring medicine, but 1s not simply a
spring medicine-it is an all-the-year-
round blood purifier and tonic. Re-
member it has stood the test of forty
years. Be sure to get Hoods, and

preparedness which 70 partisan In
conception. We need not believe in
defense propaganda inspired by
those who aim to wax fat in the pro-
duction of arms and munitions, be-
cause there is none. l deplore the
teaching that an anxiety about our ma
tional defense is inspired by greed.
We rejoice in free speech and free
press and untrammeled opinion, but
patriotism is lily promoted by the i'm
putation OF false motives, whether
aimed at those who believe in defense
or those who doubt It's wisdom. Such
teaching rends the concord Of citi-
zenship. which may develop a worse
peril from within than from any en-
emy without.
Though we do not pretend to be
exclusive in our devotion, we Repub-
licans believe, sincerely and soberly,
in adequate national defense. We
have always believed In an ample
navy. as invincible in modern might
as John Paul Jones builded in our
freedoms earliest fight. We have in
mind protected commerce on the
waters, and a seacoast secure in
strong naval defense. We we're build
ing to high rank among naval powers
when the Democratic party interrupt
ed, and we subscribe to q stronger
committal now, because of q new re-
alization Of the envy which our
wealth and our commerce invite, and
a new appreciation of our command
ing place in the affairs of the world.
l shall not say that it is ours to have
the greatest navy in the world, but
noting the elimination of distance and
the passing of our onetime isolation.
we ought to have a navy that fears
none in the world, and can say any
time and anywhere: These are Amer
ican rights and must be respected.
No Curse Of Miiitarism.
Let no one apprehend the curse Of
militarism in this fair land. We de-
clare unalterably against It. Our
free citizenship, walking confidently,
absorbed in the triumphs of peace,
would tolerate no such blight on
American institutions. There is no
surrender of cherished ideals. With
that yearning for peace which has
marked our continued development,
with that same committal to Justice
which has given US front rank in the
