Your Five Hundred Muscles.

The five hundred mu.cles il the
human body depend on pure and rich
blood for their health and contractile
energy which is the ability to labor. If
they are given impure blood they be-
come enfeebled, the step loses its
elasticity, the arm its efficiency. and
there is incapacity to perform the usual
amount of labor.
What a great blessing Hoods Sarsa-
parilla has been to the many tolling
thousands whose blood it has made and
kept pure and rich! This medicine
cl4anses the blood Of all humors, in
herited or acquired, and strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t is i'm
portant to be sure that you get Hood g
Sarssparilla when you ask for it. No
substitute for it is like it. ADV.

Resided on
Same Farm
SO Years

Mr.. and Mrs. A. G. Albert have sold
their farm in Greenfield to Frederick
Allstein of Lamont. Iowa, and will
move to Baraboo in few days They
have purchased the house at SOB Fourth
street owned by Aaron Teel of Fair
field and occupied by the S. G. Frazier
family. Mr.. and Mrs. Allstein and
two d4u g1tsrs h4vs arrival from tn
Hawkeye state and the Albert family
will move TO Baraboo soon after the
sale.
Mr. Albert has made his home on
the farm ever since January 6, 1857,
and has spent the best years of his
life there. He says he has been on the
farm SO long that he fears he will be
somewhat lonesome even in beautiful
Baraboo. He went to the farm with
his fathers family, the father passing
away about two years after. Originally
there were 100 acres in the place but
since then 20 acres have been sold. Mr..
Albert says that the young people of
the present do not realize the hardships
and the struggle necessary sixty years
ago. Money was then loaned at ten
per cent and it was difficult to save
anything out of the years earnings.
It is much easier to borrow thousand
dollars now at five or six per cent than
it was to obtain a loan of one hundred
dollars then at ten per cent. Mr.. AL
bert says he has greatly enjoyed the
fifty nine years on the farm, span of
years much longer than usually spent
on homestead.
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert come to Baraboo
with two sons and two grandchildren.
The sons in the family and their post
office addresses are as follows:
William Albert, GAINESVILLE.
John Albert, Baraboo.
Grant S. Albert, Owner of the Fam
zow blacksmith shop, Baraboo.
Percy Albert, Shubert, Nebraska.
James Albert, Konkel's mill near
Baraboo.
