THAT TIRED FEELING
Relieved by Hoods SarsaParilla,
Which Renovates the Blood.

That tired feeling that comes to
you in the spring, year after year, is
a sign that your blood lacks vitality
just as pimples, boils and other erup-
tions are signs that it is impure; and
it is also a sign that your system Is
in a low or run down condition in
yiting disease. 1t is a warning,
which il is wise to heed.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sar-
saparilla. This old standard tried
and true blood medicine relieves
that tired feeling. 1t cleanses the
blood. gives new life, new courage,
strength and cheerfulness. 1t makes
the rich red blood that will make
you feel, look, eat and sleep better.
Be sure to get Hoods, because it
is the best. There is no other COM
bination of roots. barks and herbs
like it-no real substitute for it--no
"just -as- good" medicine.

back room of barber shop at the
corner of King and Alakea streets,
been brought to trial as soon as they
reached the police station, their
chances of escaping the pc nalties of the
law doubtless would have been much
greater.
For, twenty-four hours after the men
were arrested the detectives who mad G
the raid came to the conclusion that
they should make a search over the
premises to see if they could find more
evidence against the men. Snyder and
Patton had been released on bond prac.
tically all this time, bur this did not
deter the operatives in making the
search.
The absurdity of searching a place
after giving the offenders twenty four
hours to conceal whatever evide
might be there apparently did not
strike these sleuths. For several hours
they searched the barber shop and tho
back room where the game is said to
have been run, 49,.
Just as they were giving up the hunt
as futile-just as the absurdity of it
struck them, perhaps-one. of the de
tectives stumbled upon a little cabinet
adjoining the room of Patton, and,
opening it, a cache of loaded dice,
marked cards, drills and pistol fell to
the floor
They took all these things down to
the station, and now, when Snyder and
Patton are brought to trial, they will
be confronted with these tools of

up to the detective department to
prove that the gaming implements be.
