C. A.. C S. A.. and Major Hood's Sarsaparilla Cures All Spring Ailment.. Mrs. Marion Bruce. Cumberland, Me, writes: "I have taken Hood's Sarsa parilla for a great many years, and I think It the best blood medicine in the world. I take It both spring and fall. This last winter and spring I was in very poor health. I was weak and had lost all my appetite and I was all run down. As soon as I began to take Hood's Sarsaparilla my strength came back and my appetite returned. I am now well, do my housework, and no longer have that tired feeling." Hood's Sarsaparilla restores the ap petite and makes sleep sound and re freshing by building up the whole sys tem. It purifies the blood, strength ens the nerves, aids and perfects the digestion. Take it this spring. Get it today In usual liquid form or chocolated tablets called Sarsatabs. mm f 4 On each of these coats is a great saving. Not a vague, problematical saving, but the kind that crinkles twixt the fingers that emits .the chirp of gold dropped upon hardwood. We will explain why these exceptionally worthy garments are offered at a concession. is due to the desire of a rapidly expand ing manufacturing house to get a share of the business in our nerv store. This is the initial of fering of that house. Can you wonder that they have put their best into these coals, or that the price to us was con- ' siderably below that ruling the regular market? Hand-tailored garments and the quality of the serge itself is as high as that of the workmanship a double-twisted im ported English serge in black and navy. They are made with a deep sailor collar and large shawl revers buttoned to one side with fancy pearl buttons.. The collar, revers and turned-back cuffs are inlaid with a black and white striped Bedford cord and trimmed with small pearl buttons. So liberally were we supplied with these coats that we expect the selling to continue throughout the week. Knapp, C. A., O. N. G., who conducted the inspection.
