A COMBINATION
THAT WORKS WELL
Doing an Immense Amount of Good

No other medicines possess such cura'
tive properties as these two great restor'
atives, Hoods Sarsaparilla and Peptiron
Pills, working together.
They reach the impure, impoverished
poisoned, devitalized blood, and the worn,
rundown, oyerworked, exhausted sys-
TEN. They awaken the appetite, aid di-
gestion, purify and vtalize the blood,
give renewed strength to the whole body,
produce sound, natural sleep, and a com
plete restoration to good health. Two
dollars invested in these two medicines
will bring better results than four dol
lars spent in any other course of treat
ment or attendance.
1t viii be wise to get Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and Peptiron Pills to-day. They
are sold by all druggists everywhere. Ac-
cept no substitutes. 200 doses $2.--Adv.

it viii be different, as none of three
mentioned are catchers, and they will
rely on other men to develop the
pitchers. The first and probably the
choice of President Frazee is Jack Berry,
the old Athletic shortstop and at the
present time second baseman of the Red
Sox. Barry is not over-anxious for the
Job. Dick Hoblitzell is the second choice,
and he seems to be the man on the team
who wants the responsibilities upon his
shoulders. Harry Hooper, the star right
fielder, is considered TO be third choice.
All three men are popular among the
players, and it is thought that they
would do well if appointed.

IN THE CIRCUIT U
Lafayette County Bar Held Me-
mortal Service For Hon.
Alexander Graves.

The work of the circuit court
yesterday was mostly tactical
in character and consisted of fl
ing of answers, amended petit
ions, etc. A few cases were dis
missed, among this number was
the case of Thomas j. Johns, ct
al VS.. Herman Mark. This case
has been on the docket almost
since dockets were first used.
In the afternoon at 2 o'clock
the memorial and resolutions on
the death of Hon. Alexander
Graves were read and received
by the Lafayette County Bar
Association.

pletely mastered it in all its de-
tails. Gathering his books and
papers on such occasions he
would repair to the seclusion of
his country home where he
might, without interruption,
give his cases that thoroughness
of examination and preparation
which he saw was the best road
to victory and his experience
told him was the best course to
pursue. His personality was
very attractive; his arguments
forcible, eloquent and convinc-
ing, which, with the confidence
his manner always possessed,
carried conviction to the minds
Of the iuries which he addressed
and added weight to his argu-
ments before the Courts.
"The law is a jealous mistress"
and Mr.. Graves recognized it as
such. To only one other sub
iect, and that in a subordinate
degree, did he devote the activi-
ties of his, busy mind and
thought. Mr.. Graves was a
Southern Democrat and was
fond Of politics and political life.
He gave the policies and great
questions coming before the pub
lie in his time a great deal of
thought and anxious study, was
well posted and had the COURAGE
of his convictions. Had he chos-
en-, such a life, he might have
made a great statesman as he
was a great lawyer. In his early
years he was City Attorney of
Lexington and Prosecuting At
torney of Lafayette County and
in 1882 he was elected from the
Kansas City District, to which
we then belonged, to the 48th
Congress and, as much as a
young member of two years
could accomplish, he made his
mark during his brief Congress
lonal career, but the handicap of
our situation in Congressional
Districts prevented a return to
Washington. In the meanwhile
Mr.. Graves reputation as a law
yer had attracted attention ia
~
him and for many years he was
favorably spoken of turnout the
State for a position upon the
bench of the Supreme Court. q
place he would have graced with
his learning and honored with
his presence, but such public
desire never ripened into an act
i've candidacy on his part.
MI. Graves was married on
November 10, 1874, to Elizabeth.
the daughter of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. John Aull, who survives
him with four children, Mrs.
Bartlett R. Bishop of st. Louis.
and Mrs. t. B. Ramsey, Miss

Hon. Alexander Graves, soldier,
iurist and statesman, closed his
earthly career peacefully at his
country home just south of Lex
ington on the morning of De-
cember %, 1916, in the seven
tieth year of his age.

ate cause, joining the cavalry
arm Of the service and in the
course of the war was assigned
to the command of General For
est, with whom he served gal

partment of the University of

gree of LII, B. in 1869. He then
removed with his family to
Lexington, Missouri, and forth
with entered into the active
practice of his profession, keep
ing up his work to a certain ex-
tent to within three or four
weeks Of his death. His sue
cess was immediate and in a
very short period he attained a
place in the front ranks of the
very strong bar then practicing
in this City. Mr.. Graves was fit
ted by nature for his profession.
which with the addition of the
careful and methodical training
given by his Alma Mater, equip
ped him for his work in an unu-
sually high degree. He had a
strong and vigorous intellect, a
mind analytical and logical and
a temperament adapted to all the
exigencies Of a successful legal
career. He was also studious
and Industrious in his habits
and methodical in the prepare
ton Of his cases. He would never
enter into the trial of an impor-
tant cause until he had first com
