THE WHOLE BODY
NEEDS PURE BLOOD

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs of the body depend for their
strength and tone and healthy action
on pure blood.
If the blood is very impure, the
bones become diseased; the muscles
become enfeebled, the step loses its
elasticity, and there is inability to
perform the usual amount OF labor
The skin loses its clearness, and
pimples, blotches and other eruptions
appear.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood. 1t is positively unequaled in
the treatment of scrofula and other
humors, catarrh, rheumatism, dyspep-
STA, loss of appetite. that tired feeling.
Be sure to get Hoods and get it today.

DRAINAGE DUE TO MOSQUITO
SAVING of Millions Results From De-
termination of Status of Insect
by Army Hospital Corps.

The National Chamber of Commerce
declares that had not the hospital
corps of the army definitely deter
mined the status of the mosquito and
thus caused menacing swamp lands To
be drained it is an open question
whether the building of the Panama
canal would have been possible.
In following up this work we find
that the United States, in draining
breeding places Of the mosquito, has
reclaimed thousands of acres of land
and made them available for agri-
cultural purposes. There are appro2i-
mately 10OO00,000 acres of swamp
lands in the country, where for years
the mosquito has held undiSputcd
sway, of which 75,000,000, or about
one-eighth of the total area Of the
country. can be reclaimed for the ploW-
share. The only value of swamp land
lies in its possibility Of reclamation /;
otherwise 1t is serious liability as Il
breeder of disease.-Leslie's Weekly.

Queer Way of Smoking.

When you sit down comfortably
with your pipe, tobacco and matches,
intent upon quiet smoke, it prob
ably doesn't strike you that there are
smokers of other races who go about
wooing the goddess Nicotine in very
odd ways. The natives Of South At
RIGA are inveterate smokers, but some
of them indulge in the habit in Il dis
tinctly queer fashion. The pipe" is
made by thrusting two sticks into the
ground so as to meet at an angle +;
when they are Withdrawn two tunnels
are left behind. A hollow reed is
stuck in one hole, and the tobacco
placed in the other and lighted. Be
fore beginning operations the native
fills his mouth with water, drawing in
the smoke with a gurgling sound and
blowing out the water and smoke
through a second reed. a poor way
of smoking to a white man, but the
kafirs are very fond of it.-Wide

Sam Has sunlit Nation, Too.

/ shall not forget my first sight of
the Aleutian islands, writes Frank q.
Carpenter from Alaska. We had
passed no land for two days when we
came to the Island of Unimak, which
is at the end of the Alaska peninsula
and which forms the beginning of the
great chain of islets that reaches from
Alaska almost to Asia. The islands
lie in q great crescent which look like
stepping stones on the face of the sea.
They form the are of q great circle
reaching from the western to the east
ern hemisphere. Unimak lies on our
side of the world and Attu, the last
of our islands, is in the orient, l 500
miles distant and not far from Kan)-
chatka. We have a cOaling station
on the Island of kiska, which is in
the eastern hemisphere, and there the
evening twilight has not disappeared
when the sun is rising in Maine. John
Bull often boasts that the sun never
sets on British possessions. The same
is true of Uncle Sans dominions,
when we take in Attur island and the
Philippine archipelago.

BIG CANALS IN MESOPOTAMIA
Bagdad Once Had the Most Remark
able System of Irrigation That
Has Ever Been Constructed.

Many years ago great irrigation
schemes enabled Mesopotamia, Ar
menia and other countries in the near
and middle East to become the seats
of empires in spite of their arid eli
mates. Today. writes DR.. Arthur Sell
wynBroWn in the. Scientific American,
they have few cities Of any Importance.
Bagdad, which has a population Of
about 10000. had 100000 ten CEN
turtles ago. The difference between
Mesopotamia then and today is the
result of the destruction of the
canals.
In the height of its prosperity Bag
dad had the most remarkable system
of irrigation that has ever been
constructed. The canals about the
city measured over 5000 miles in
length.
There are others, both north and
south of the city, that joined the Eu
pirates with the Tigris, and there were
several that ran parallel with the
rivers.
The largest was known as the
Chosroos canal. 1t was built in early
historical times to connect Bagdad
with the city of Dur, about 100 miles
north. Whenever this canal passed
through loose soil it was over 200 feet
in width and six feet deep. Where the
ground became rocky it was reduced
to q width of 40 or 90 feet.
Between Dur and BassOra there
were over 80 trunk canals between the
Tigris and the Euphrates, and they ir-
rigatcd $1,000 square miles of rich
farming land.

Sea-SaIt as Fertilizer.

Close observers at the Royal Agri.
cultural Station of Magyar-Ovar, Hun
gary, find that sea-salt markedly af-
fects certain crops. 1t is generally
supposed that sea-salt is poisonous to
plant life-an impression strengthened
by the fact that many parts of the
country near the sea are barren. Some
plants, however, thrive well on soil
that has been washed by the sea, and
the Hungarian experiments seem to
prove that 4 certain quantity of sea.
salt acts as a stimulant to crops in

results for the last four years have
been uniformly the same.
