FOUR-FOLD BENEFIT

From Two Grand Medicines In Spring.
You know that physicians often give
two prescriptions, perhaps more medi-
cine to be taken together or alternate
ly, or at different times.
One reason may be that the medi-
cines are 'incompotible''-don not agree
when closely mixed in taking-or that
desired results cannot be secured by
one medicine alone.
The most successful combination
spring medicine treatment that we
know of-because perfectly "compat-
ible" and productive of the best re-
sults-is in Hoods Sarasparilla and
Peptiron Pills. The former thoroughly
searches out and expels impurities
from the blood. while Peptiron Pills
give the powerful tonic-they literally
put iron into your blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla should be taken
before meals and Peptiron Pills after
meals-patients taking them so report
The benefit is four-fold-prompt, posi-
tive, permanent. Both these medi-
cines are economical and pleasant to
take.-Adv.

OUTLOOK FOR DROPS
IN GREAT BRITAIN
ARE DISCOURACINC

LONDON. April 2s-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press)-Re-
ports of the agricultural outlook in
Great Britain are almost uniformly
discouraging. Not even the oldest
farmer recalls q more trying time than
that through which he has just been
passing.
A late sowing. a poor yield. wet
autumn and q severe winter have been
followed by a spring with all the
marked characteristics of December.
The state of the fields is called in
all the agricultural reports serious"
although it Is still possible that a per-
Tod Of warm weather might change the
situation considerably by the end Of
May.
Tho history of many Of the best Of
the British crops this year is story
of sowing in November and Resolving
in April. In many cases the autumn
sowing was destroyed completely and
some fresh scheme had to be hastily
devised.

quit going about in public making crit
icisms of the clubs activities. OF
course criticisms of the club are wei
coined, but let us make our criticisms
at our club meetings, not on the street
corners. Let us work together and ac-
complish things" said Mr.. Lontz, and
he was enthusiastically applauded.
Wants to Make Fund Work.
Referring to the 100000 factory
fund subscribed here last fall Mr.
Lontz stated that he wanted to put
this fund to work just as soon as pos
sible. This fund, however, is not 60
ing to be dissipated," remarked the
club president. 1T will be spent only
for the location of legitimate and sub
stantial Industries in Richmond; not
one penny of it will go to lame ducks
nor toward meeting club expenses.
Directing the industrial rejuvena-
ton of this city will be club secre-
tary. Mr.. eLontz said, who is thorough
ly trained in the work which will be
intrusted to him. He said he wanted
the people to be patient until the
right kind of man can be secured to
fill this responsible position.
Mr.. Lontz pointed out that the
clubs expenses under it's new regime
would be approximately $500 a year.
Up to the present time, he said, bust
ness men had subscribed $4,000 to-
ward meeting this expense and over
$4,000 would be realized from member
ship dues.
6artei Expresses Confidence.
Fred j. Bartel, chairman of the men,
berShiD camDaign stated that tho
work to secure new members would be
undertaken by members of the organi-
cation. He expressed confidence that
when the campaign ended the club
would have at least 500 members. He
added that lately there had been
complete and most satisfactory change
in the public attitude toward the Com
mercial club.

Luke McLuke Says

Furthermore, how can the beordless youth who marries a girl who has a mustache expect to be boss in his household?
 A woman will worry over nothing and then bawl her husband out a heart less brute because he won't worry with her.
 Don't place to high valuation on he man who talks too much. A pen " can rattle around and make more noise than a 71 000 bill.
 Of course a girl wouldn't think of pro- posing to a man. O, deer, no! But she will get close enough to him so that he can feel the warmth of her body and inhale the perfume in her hair and she will sigh and announce that she expects to die an old maid because nobody loves her. And of course the male boob by her side does just exactly as she ex- pected he would do. But she wouldn't east aside her Maidenly Modesty and propose to man. O. deer, no!
 Another reason why married wo- man is so careless about losing her tenn per is because she knows that her hus- band will catch it.
 A husband is an animal who believes hat he has a right to use his wife's tooth brush, but who wants a divorce if she uses his comb.
 Some men would hate to vote with the winning side in an election, because they wouldn't have an excuse to kick on the Administration.
 A married man can't see what kick old Adam had. Eve never read his old love letters to him 10 years after they started housekeeping.

AMERICAN BLOOD SPILLED

American blood has sanctified Americas in Europe. American lives have been given up the altar of their country which has been up in far away France. Willingly they died and bravely fighting and dying fought and died the Purtans at Bunker Hil the frontersmen under Marion the Cavaliers at Yorktown. Their blood adds lustre the red white and blue of the Stars Stripes which have stood for freedom and democracy since the birth of Nation. Their names will hence forth augment the glory of American history. The memory of them and their supreme sacrifice will make fuller the experiences of generations of Americans
 The killing of these brings with 1t a reaza- tion of the fact that America is at It pected. None but knew that war means death and that sooner later the first American blood would be spilled. All had steeled themselves for the news yet when it came it brought the inevitable shock. But there will be many such messages The dispatches of yesterday but the forerunners of more tales of death.

GOOD ADVICE

No doubts the sincerity of Frederick w. Lehman, and when this native of Prussia advises German-Americans to throw off the habit of thought which has caused of them to regard themselves as detached from the and under obligation to actively support the government for fear they might be fighting against relatives in the German army he hits the nail squarely on the head.
 "In the former history of country" MT. Leh- mann very truly says, there has been made proposition to excuse German nAmerican citizens from active military duty at the front from other duty of any kind for which other citi- may be called And this condition shall continue and remain-now and forever"
 MT. Lehmann former solicitor of the State De- partment and of best international lawyers, had opposed politically to the Administration, but he has been sanch supporter of Wilson through out the German crisis.
 Moreover, MT. Lehman shows his faith by his works in sending two who were not subject to the draft to the front.
