Clark's Day Dream.

In an address in Washington some
time ago Speaker Clark said, accord
ing to the Pathfinder, that If he should
suddenly find himself possessed of the
wealth of q Rockefeller the first thing
he would do would be to establish a
publishing house in st. Louis, Mo.
"Then," he said, I'D publish an un-
abridged dictionary, with words pro-
nounced the way the people of the
country pronounce them, and put 1t on
the market to compete with those COM
posed by somebody up In a garrett
who's trying to make people here talk
like those In England.
"The next thing I'd do would be to
have a real history of the United
States composed and published under
my supervision. In 1t l would give
the people who have done things
credit"

MARCH TO VICTORY

Courage is q matter Of the blood.
Without good red blood a man has a
weak heart and poor nerves.
In the spring Is the best time to
take stock Of ones condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and list
less, one should take q spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house
cleaning, an Old-fashioned herbal rem
edy that was used by everybody nearly
so years ago Is still safe and sane be-
cause 1t contains no alcohol or narcot.
ic. 1t is made up of Blood root, Gold
en- Seal root, Oregon Grape root,
Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherry
bark-extracted with g~lycerine and
made into liquid or tablets. This blood
tonic was first put out by DR.. Pierce
In ready.to-use form and since then
has been sold by million bottles as DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If
druggists do not keep this in tablet
form, send 60 cents for a vial to DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
Kidney disease carries away q large
