TWO GOOD REMEDIES
Working Well Together, Produce
Marvellous Results.
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Peptiron
Pills as a Course of Treatment.

For instance, Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the standard blood purifier, is recon-
mended for conditions that are scrof-
ulous or dependent on impure blood.
Peptiron Pills, the new iron tonic,
are especially recommended for con-
ditions that are anemic and nervous.
Many persons suffer from a combi-
nation Of these conditions. They are
afflicted with swellings of the glands,
punches in the neck, eruptions. and
sores on the body, limbs and face,
and are besides pale and nervous.
If these patients take both Hood's
Sarsaparilla and Peptiron Pills they
are reasonably sure to derive four
fold benefit. These two great medi-
cines supplement each other, and the
use of both, even in cases where only
one may appear to be indicated, is of
great advantage. Get them from
your druggist.

The general and almost wholesale fall
ing away of the Progressive following in
the State of Maine as shown by the reg
istration at the polls is said to be due to
recognition of the fact that the leaders
of that party have stood first, last and
all the time more for political office than
for Progressive principles, and Oxford
county. which was one Of the strong Pro-
gressive counties of the State, came up
with protest against a third party
ticket at the recent convention, but was
voted down by the followers of the Of
fee seeking leaders. This must recess
sarily lead to a further detection Of
those who regard Progressive princi-
ples as of the first Importance. Of
course none of the nominees of the Pro-
gressive convention can be elected, but
some one will have the handling of a
campaign fund.

The Mexican war news as censored by
orders from Washington is even more
contradictory than the news of the great
conflict in Europe. We read that Car
rama has demanded that our troops be
withdrawn from Mexico; that Villa has
been surrounded; that he is miles away;
that our troops were not sent to Mexico
to kill or capture Villa, but to dispense
the bandits, and would return to this
country when that was accomplished,
etc. The censorship has gone so far as
to forbid the publication by a local news
paper of any report of Villas raid on
Columbus, New Mexico, or "war news
of any description, and the paper was
forced to suspend publication. This
savors of German methods. Have we

And clot hier antaors, wooden mills and

The lining cloth that cost him 35c yard last
Spring is costing him SOC to 60c this season.

Trinity Mems club held it's regular
monthly meeting in the crypt of the
church Tuesday evening. Dinner was
served at Z o'clock by committee of
the ladies and at the conclusion of the
meal, there was music by the Smelser
instrumental quartet. The Rev. NJ. E.
Genge of the First Christian church
was the speaker of the evening. He
talked on some of his interesting ex'
periences during his days as sea
man before he had answered the call
of the church. Figuratively speaking
he took his hearers on a trip from
Boston, Mass, to the frozen wilds OF
the north; he showed them the things
of interest in Americas cradle Of lib
erty and then took them step by step
up the coast to Labrador. His des
criptions of seal hunting. whale fish
ing and bird shooting, were vivid. Al
the close of his talk. the club voted
him an honorary membership.

In the National the Pittsburgh Pr

be funny then if Cleveland would rise
up in it's wrath under a new admins

WALSH IS SLATED
FOR THE MINORS
RUMoRED THAT WHITE SOx HUR-
LER HAS NOT BEEN SIGNED
FOR COMING SEASON.

Chicago, Feb. 23-What is to become
of Big Ed Walsh the coming year is a
question that is agitating the friends
of the big spitball HEAVIER Of the White
Sox just now. Rumor has it that the
big fellow has not been signed for
the coming season.
For the last two years Walsh has
been carried along in hope that he
would be able to come back and help
out in the pitching department, but
he had not been able to show enough
Of his old-time form to warrant his
starting in many games.
Last year he made two starts and
was able to go through and win both
games, but both of them were easy,
as his team made enough runs early
to make the going very comfortable
for him.
President Comiskey has established
a reputation for carrying along his
old players and letting them down
easy, but the twenty-five man limit
established by the American league
last year has made it almost impos'
sible to continue the policy OF keep
ing pensioners on the pay roll, be-
cause it kept some other player on
who could be made use OF.
Walsh had a longtime CONTRACT
that expired last fall, and it is a
question what will be done with him
hereafter. 1t is possible that he will
be placed with some good minor
league club, where he will undoubtedly
be able to hold up his end for a time
for his arm Is not entirely gone.

CHICAGO, BOSTON AND NEW

New York. Feb 23.--Boston boasts
that 1t has a chance for the pennants
OF both big leagues this year, with the
champion Red Sox trying to repeat in
the American and the Braves trying to
come back in the National. Chicago
offers the same sort of bravado, on be-
half of Joe Thinkers combined Cubs
and Whales in the older league and
Clarence Rowland's expensive all star
White Sox in the younger. With this
situation, somebody is bound to be
disappointed.
Three other cities have representa-
tives in both leagues-St. Louis, Phila-
delphia and New York. The first two
OF these stand practically no chance
of double honors.
st. Louis may make trouble in the
American league with an entry COM
posed OF the best men from the for
mer Sloufeds and Browns, led capa-
/ bly, by Fielder Jones, but the Card
mails, sixth place outfit last year,
have not strengthened appreciably,
and are not likely to cut much of a
figure.
Philadelphia has champion team
in the Phillies. A champion always
must be considered in the hunt, no
matter how rivals have strengthened,

Quaker City has not even considered
the possibility of real achievement
