Hunters from all over the country
report both birds and rabbits scarcer

birds and rabbits perished from freez-

FEVER
Not Due to Germs From Without,
But to Toxic Poisons
Within the Body.
(By DR.. VALENTINE MOTIF

At this time of year most peo=
pie suffer from what we term
"spring fever" because of a stag
nant condition of the blood, be-
cause of the toxic poisons stored
up within the body during the
long winter. We eat too much
meat, with little or no green veg
etabIes. Spinach should be eaten
often because it contains 33 per
cent of iron and makes for better
nutrition of the blood.
Bloodless people, thin. anemic
people, those with pale cheeks and
lips, who have poor appetite and
feel that tired, worn or feverish
condition in the springtime Of the
wear, should try the refreshing
tonic powers of a good Alternative
and blood purifier. Such one,
which | can heartily recommend,
is extracted from Blood root,
Golden Seal and Stone root,
Queens root and Oregon Grape
root, made up with chemically
pure gIycerin and without the
use Of alcohol. This can be obtain
ed in ready=to=use form any
where, as druggists have sold il
for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is
standard remedy that can be OBJ
tanned in tablet or liquid form.
A good purge should be taken
once a week even by persons who
have a movement daily, in order
to eliminate matter which may
remain and cause a condition of
auto-intoxication. To clean the
system at least once week is to
practice preventive measures.
There is nothing so good for this
purpose as tiny pills made up of
the May-appie, leaves of aloe and
iaiap, and sold by almost all drug
cists in this country as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.

LONDON, April 2S.-The Daily Teie-

quotes Minister of Justice kerensky
after having visited Reval. as saying
that he had reached an optimistic con-
clusion concerning conditions there,
the capacity for defense of the Baltic
feet and the spirit of the local Esthon-
ian population
There are. of course, some small
difficulties which are inevitable after
the upheaval Russia has undergone,
NJ. kerensky is reported as having
said. but the preparations for defense
are complete. All the ships are II
splendid condition and in perfect readi-
ness
THE sailors fully realize the serious
ness of the situation and TIE RESPONSE
oility resting on them, and are deter
mined to defend the country Or Due.
All rumors of the weakening Of tho
Baltic fleet are quite unfounded.
THE best relations exist between the
Esthonians and the Russians The
Esthonians deny that they wish TO
break with Russia and establish a
total independence. Their only wish is
for local autonomy.
