LOSS OF APPETITE
Most Successfully Treated by Taking
 Hoods SarsapariIIa.

Loss of appetite is accompanied by loss of vitality, which is serious.
 It is common in the spring because at this time the blood is impure and impoverished and fails to give the digestive organs what is absolutely necessary for the proper perform ance of their functions.
 Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old relia- ble all-the-year-round medicine, is especially useful in the spring. Get it from your druggist today. By puri- flying and enriching the blood and giving vitality, vigor and tone, it is wonderfully successful in the treat ment of loss of appetite and the other ailments prevalent at this time. It is not simply a spring medicine-it is much more than that-but it is the best spring medicine.
 Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the rict red blood the digestive organs need.

Package condensed mince meat is made up today of the best quality or dried fruit and other items which can
 be found, all of which are found in the United States with the exception of spices and entrants. The study or
 packing condensed mince meat has ex-
 tended. over a period of 100 years and
 today is as near its perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation
 m the factories in which it is packed
 is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necess1tateS the guarding of the most minute detail Of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State, | where in our opinion is grown the best favored apple known. The l raisir5 used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- l sidered in procuring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all | know, is always sugar, the different | grades merely representing the differ | ent havors or different granulation re- | Quired for different purposes. Every | particle of fruit or any other article used in the manufacture of mince meat
 is thoroughly cleaned and hand-picked l by people trained to know what should l a:.d should not be used and in this | manner the article comes to the house I wife cleaner by far than she could | possibly take the same articles in her own kitchen, regardless of how clean | it may be, and make up the filler for her mince pie. The old idea of dirt | being prevalent in quantity is today disputed by the greatest authorities on 1 food products. The meat used in I nince meat is of the choicest and to-
 day the same corn-beer which you l and I would use on our table is what
 is being used in SerV-us Mince Meat.
 There are very few pies made which
 can be used as handily by the house.
 wife as mince meat for all it requires | is a little water and being heated for ten minutes and it is ready for the | crust and then the table and she may l without fear of loss carry three or four packages of mince meat in her
 pantry, having it ready at any time | for the chance occurrence of unexpect- ed company and it will be a good
 dessert free from dirt. It is ouI l thorough belief that a mince meat pie
 made from condensed mince meat if
 about as cheap a dessert as can bG , prepared and yet as good
 For many years mlnce meat wa:
 considered a winter dish. Each yeal l for the last ten our factory has hat { | to increase it's capacity during thu summer months until today it rum
 every day of the year with a regulal force of helpers. We ship goods ts
 every part of the country the entiri !. year. This of course means a grea : l increase in the use of these goods oYe 2 when mince meat was eaten only Il E l the winter months which means an ia : creased sale over the former winte
