Red-bloOded men Of courage are on
the firing line-and there are many
anemic, weak. discouraged men and
women left at home.
At this time of the year most people
suffer from q condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes "pimply" or pale skin.
Bloodless people, thin. anemic peo-
pie, those with pale cheeks and lips.
who have a poor appetite and feel that
tired, worn or feverish condition In the
springtime of the year, should try the
refreshing tonic powers of n good al
terative and blood purifier. Such a one
Is extracted from Blood root. Golden
Seal and Stone root, Queens root and
Oregon Grape root, made up with
chemically pure glycerine and without
the use Of alcohol. This can be OBJ
tanned In ready-tO-use tablet form In
sixty-cent Walls. as druggists have sold
It for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's
Goeen Medical Discovery. 1t is a
standard remedy that can be obtained
In tablet or liquid form.
A good purge should be taken once
q week even by persons who have a
movement daily, in order to eliminate
matter which may remain and cause a
condition of administration, poison
ing the whole system. To clean the
system at least once week is to prac-
tice health measures. There is nothing
so good for this purpose as tiny pills
made up of the May-apple, leaves Of
aloe and jalap. and sold by almost
all druggists in this country as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, sugar-coated,
easy to take.

BLONDES ARE FIDGETY
Brunette Typists Are Preferred
by Uncle Sam

WashingtOn.-The blonde type
writer's Of America have reason to fid-
get from the government estimate Of
them. It appears that the glowing
tributes heretofore bestowed upon
them by the tiled business man have
been as inaccurate as have been the
exceedingly biased estimates OF the
tired business mans wife.
The blonde typewriter, though a Joy
to the eye. is nervous. temperamental
and other than steady, SO the govern
ment has decided.
When the government undertook to
pay its new, growing and splendid
army 1t was found necessary to hire
few acres Of typewriters. Every avail
able loft, hospital, dance hall and
store in Washington was fitted out rs
place in which typists might type,
and SO great was the volume Of work
that the utmost care was taken in the
matter of employing help. Things had
to be done accurately. quickly and con-
tinuously, and the types of typists were
considered at length by persons quail
fed to know a star key RATHER at
glance.
Well. sir, more than 5000 typists
were at work before a blonde typist
was accepted. Every brunette avail
able had been pounding the keyboard
for days before it was finally decided
that the nght-locked element must be
admitted through force Of circum-
stance. There were no more brunette
typewriters out Of work.
Then came the beautiful blonde
spring drive. They came with blue
eyes. dimples, little curls, golden
Psyches, pink ears and smiles which
made the grouchy experts dizzy but
unconvinced. They knew that all this
outward dazzle did not alter the fact
that every blonde cherub was as nerv-
Gus as q kitten, and that in a burst Of
temperament might very well send a
major generals pay check to an OBJ
scure corporal.
But they were employed. and now
each blonde In the government service
sits between two brunette typists who
devote themselves to the tasks Of do
ing their work and steadying their
golden-haired companion at the first
sign Of hysteria.
