Impure or effete matters accumulated in the blood

and painful troubles as boils, pimples, and other eruptions,

The best medicine to take to rid yourself of them, is
Hood's Sarsaparilla, which thoroughly cleanses the blood,
and effects permanent cures by giving healthy functional
activity to the stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and skin.
This is the testimony of tens of thousands who have
taken this great spring medicine.
Accept no substitute for Hood's Sarsaparilla, but in

Beat War to Plow.
Measure off a bend and on each end
end of the field Bay as wide as the
length of team and plow. Commence
plowing at one side of the field one-hnlf
land from the fence, plowing back
nd forth, turning to the right and
tiding plow on beud land. When first
land is done ; measure off another land,
kip It, go on and plow third land same
s first, then plow second land turning
to left. ' The object is plowing the
third land before second Is to avoid
having so many centpr ridges and dead
furrows, as you would if you took
every land as It came. Keep on In this
way until you get to the other side of
the field, then plow head lands and you
have thi field nii-ely plowed without
turning square corners, tramping
horses heels, lifting plow or tramping
plowed ground.

Cause.
The same trouble will therefore recur
again till that Cause Is removed per
manently. The chief cause of Constipation and.
Indigestion is a weakness of the Muscles
that contract the Intestines and Bowels.
Carcarets are practically to the Bowel
Muscles what a Massage and Cold Bath

They sjimulate the Bowel Muscles lo
contract, expand, and squeeze the Diges
tive Juices out of food eaten.
Cascarets do this naturally, without
purging or discomfort.
They don't help the Bowels and Liver
in such a way as to make them lean upon
similar assistance for the future.
This is why, with Cascarets, the dose
may be lessened each succeeding
time instead of Increased, as it
must be with all succeeding doses
of other Cathartics and Laxatives.
Cascarets act like
exercise.

A Joke that Failed Twlee.
Miss Adelbert had Just returned
from a vacatlonspent at a tiny village
on the Maine coast. In recounting ber
experiences she talked somewhat for
the benefit of a cousin, a quiet person,
who was visiting her city relatives for
tbe first time in many years.
"There was Just one store In the
place," said Miss Adelbert, "nnd they
kept everything, that is, everything
they had to keep.
"One day I went In to buy some
soap, and Just on a venture I asked the
clerk If they had Browning. He stared
at me a second, then went off and
looked under the counters and on the
helves.
"Presently he came back and said.
'No, miss, we ain't got none. We got
blacking, an' we got bluing, an' tie got
whitlug, but we ain't got ft bit o'
browning In the store.' "
Miss Adelbert had to make several
protests to assure her audience that
this really happened. Finally the cous
in asked, gravely, "But, Cousin Bert,
why didn't you suy varnish in the first
place?"
Quite Simple.
"Po you understand the tariff ques
tion?" "Perfectly," answered Mr. Curnrox.
