NUX, IRON, PEPSIN.
AND SARSAPARILLA

The combination of two great
medicines, Hoods Sarsaparilla and
Peptiron, by taking them in conjunc-
tion, one before eating and the other
after, brings into cooperation the
above-named substances, best for the
blood, nerves and digestive organs.
This combination is especially
recommended in cases that are
scrofulous, or rheumatic, anemie and
nervous, or where the blood is both
impure and pale, deficient in iron -
one of the most common disease
conditions of the present day.
In cases where a laxative is needed,
Hoods Pills should be taken. They
work in perfect harmony with Hoods
Sarsaparilla and Peptiron, and are
mild and efficient.

There is no question of our people

they are. The Willamette valley boast

Let all of the governing bodies such
as city council, the school board, the
county and state, look and work to-
ward the relief of the working people
and the business and financial inter-

A few of the working man s burdens
are: loss of time, especially in the

AMERICANS FOR REVENUE

Men come from every foreign land to
freedoms kindly shore, and when they
reach our well-known strand, they bear
their yokes no more. They come, with us
to work and live, to share our soup and

bulwarks and our boons. They seldom
have nine dollars worth of assets when
they land, but in this fairest land on earth
they get the cordial hand. "Come in," we
say, with winning smile, "and make your
selves at home; take off your things and
stay while, and use our fne-tooth comb. ;"
