HAVE PURE BLOOD
Hoods sarsaparila Makes Rich, Red
Flood.

Your heart works night and day
without a pause. 1t is the principal
organ Of the circulation Of your
blood. 1t is Of the utmost import
ance that it should do its work well.
The quality and quantity Of your
blood have much to do with its ac-
ton. If this fluid is pure and
abundant, your heart and other vital
organs act with more energy than
when it is defective in quality or
deficient in quantity.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the
blood pure and abundant. 1t is the
one old reliable medicine, that has
been sold for forty years, for puri-
flying the blood. There is no better
blood remedy, appetizer, stomach
tonic or nerve builder. From the
very first dose of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla improvement begins.
Be sure your druggist gives you
Hoods, for nothing else can pos
sibly benefit you as much and no.
thing else can take its place. Get
it today.

foreign SPIES
STEAL SECRETS
Washington Full Of Foreign Espion-

STOP PHONE COMMUNICATION
System is Perfect and Many Times
Officials Have Been Compelled
to Change Plans Because
of Leaks

Washington, April 22.-Thefts OF
government secrets have reached
such a stage that steps were taken
to put an immediate and rigid stop
to the practice.
For months the most carefully
laid plans of the state, war and
other departments have leaked and
in some cases have resulted in SER
ious embarrassment to the United
States in negotiations with foreign
powers and in the Mexican crisis.
A system of espionage that would
do credit to an absolute monarchy
exists 1t is maintained by several
agencies, mostly representatives OF
foreign governments.
The system of espionage by SER
wants is particularly insidious mas
much as there are no existing laws
that fully cover it.
Reports now before department
heads show that certain members OF
their staffs are blamabe to a GER
tain extent. Washingtonians are no
torious for talking over the tele-
phone to anyone who will listen. To
day many of them received instruc-
lions to cease that method of dis
cussing any matters that affect gov
eminent problems.
