PURITY and power
Necessary to Overcome Impure and
Weak Condition Of the Blood

The grip. hard colds, pneumonia,
fevers, diphtheria and other blood
poisoning, prostrating diseases leave
the whole system subnermal-below
par--weak and slow-blood depleted
and thin, with that tired feeling, poor
appetite. delicate digestive power or
almost none at all.
The ideal treatment is
Hoods Sarsaparilla-thoroughly to
purify the blood and expei poisons, and
Peptiron Pills. the new pepsin, nux
and iron tonic-to put power into the
blood, give strength. increase red cor
puscles and restore normal health
tone.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has in forty
years won and held the favor of the
people, almost TO the exclusion Of other
sarsaparillas and blood purifiers.

Episode II: Pashe News; an Extra
ordinary Program.
Mexico has orce more been invaded
by band of americans. But this time
it was not an army in khaki but a
party of actors and actresses headed
by Blanche Sweet. The invasion was
for the purpose Of producing The
Evil Eye Paramount production in
which Miss Sweet is starred. She plays
the part of young doctor, Katherine
Torrance, who is sent to theNlittlc Mex
lean settlement by the L. S. to relieve
them in the terrible epidemic. The
title of the story is taken from the
light which she wears on her forehead
in order to see clearly into the threats
of her patients and which the super
Stitious natives call the evil eye"
The scenes depicting Mexican life are
unusually good and give a fine insight
into the strange ideas and treacherous
character of the poorer classes. The
only Charlie Chaplin will break into
big league society for thirty minutes

q nohleman gets him into all kinds of

trality into actual war, would send
 her troops to fight on the European
 battlefields. How solicitous is Japan
 for the triumph of the Allies is strik-
 ingly proved by two facts which hava
 lately merited the close attention of
 the American people. One is, the
 strong backing Japan gave to the determination of the Allies to refuse the peace proposals offered by :he Central Powers. The other Is, Japan's attitude toward the most extraord1n- ary note of Dr. Zimmerman, German Foreign Minister. aiming at the for nation of a German-Japan-Mex alliance.
 ''Let us consider first the second point. Nothing demonstrates more clearly the complete bankruptcy of German diplomacy than this ridicu- lous scheme. So far as your neigh bor across the Rio Grande is con- am not sure whether Ger many has not some substantial ground to build her hope for the cooperation of Mexico in the event of war with the United States. In view of the thoroughness of Germany's prepara- tion, and of the time she must have counted upon that would intervene before the beginning of real hostil- ities, it might not be altogether un- to suppose that there may be in store some surprise coming from the. direction of your close
