Spring-Cleaning
The Human System Needs It.
Mrs. M. Morgan. 411 4th Ave, K
Bralnerd, Minn., writes: "I take from
one to two bottles of Hood's Sarsapa
rllla in the spring to purify the blood
just as regularly as I do my house
cleaning, and go around light-footed
and light-hearted. I believe It Is the
best blood purifier known."
Hood's Sarsaparllla so combines the
curative principles of roots, barks and
herbs as to raise them to their highest
efficiency; hence Its unequaled cures.
Get it today In usual liquid form or
tablets called Sarsatabs.

Ii 1 1 O I L en. You can cook in comfort.
Here is a stove that gives no OUf side heat. All its heat
is concentrated at the burners. An intense blue flame (hotter than
either white or red) is thrown upwards but not around. All the
heat is utilized in cooking none in outside heating.
IOR
Oil Cook-stove
entirely removes the discomfort of cooking. Apply a match and
immediately the stove is ready. Instantly an intense heat is pro
jected upwards against the pot, pan, kettle or boiler, and yet there
is no surrounding heat- no smell no smoke.
Why? Because The New Perfection
Oil Cook-Stove is scientifically and
practically perfect. You cannot use
too much wick it is automatically
controlled. You get the maximum heat
no smoke. The burner is simple. One
wipe with a cloth cleans it conse
quently there is no smell.
The New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove
is wonderful for year-round use, but
especially in summer. Its heat oper
ates upward to pan, pot, or kettle, but
not beyond or around. It ia useless
for beating a room.
It has a Cabinet Tap with shelf
for keeping plates and food hot.
It has long turquoise-Clue enamel
chimneys. The nickel finish, with the
bright blue of the chimneys, makes
the stove ornamental and attractive.
Made with 1, 3 and 3 burners; the 1
and 3-burner stoves can be had with
or without Cabinet.

Mrs. Marllla M. Ricker, a lawyer
and a leading suffragist In New Hamp
shire, has telegraphed from Califor
nia, where she Is spending the winter,
that she will be a candidate for Gov
ernor of New Hampshire on the suf
frage platform. Mrs. Ricker is a na
tive of New Hampshire, where her
husband died in 1868. She went to
Germany and France, where she
studied the condition of women for
more than two years. She returned
to this country and put herself on rec

For taxes out of the common one
must turn back to the days of George
III. For In the reign of that monarch
one was almost forced to "die beyond
one's means." The army and the navy
were in urgent need of money and the
chancellor was at his wits' end. He
thought of the dead and gravely sug
gested a tax on coffins. Which pro
posal recalls the day when one could
not be born without Involving a proud
parent In a tax. A graduated tax. The
birth of an eldest son, for Instance,
cost a duke as much as 30, whereas
a cottager was forced to pay only 2
shillings. To be born with a silver
spoon in the mouth cost money In
these days. London Chronicle.
"Jn connection with 'humbug,' "bug
bear and 'gold bug,' It may be ob
served," says the London Chronicle,
"that the last has probably no direct
suggestion of 'terror' to the American
mind. 'Bug Is freely used In Ameri
ca for any kind of Insect. Our Eng
lish word, however, is directly affili
ated to the Celtic word, which meant
a demon or bogey. It Is conjectured
that when the objectionable insect be
came acclimated here, which was not
many centuries ago, the terror of its
attacks earned it- its name. We get
the 'bug In its old sense in Shakes
peare This Warwick was a bug that
feared us all" and 'the terror by
night' is bugge by nyght' in old Bi
bles." .
Perhaps the greatest enthusiast the
world over regarding cats is Mrs. W.
Eamea Colburn, wife of a Chicago
banker. Mrs. Colburn's blu ribbon
cats alone number thirty-five, and she
has a big collection of less patrician
pussies which receive as much loving
care. Each of the eighty-odd cats In
her possession is known to Its mistress
by name and pedigree, and each of
them shows by its delighted "meows"
and purrlngs It also recognizes Its ben
efactress. For her prize cats Mrs. Col
burn recently had built a modern
stven-room house with every luxury
known to architect and designer. It
Is fitted up with specially made brass
beds, richly hung with silken drap
eries and lace curtains, each Just big
enough to hold one of the blue-blooded
creatures In comfort. And In every
room Is a well-nigh inexhaustible sup

Not a drop
of Alcohol
Doctors prescribe very little, if B
any, alcohol these days. They
prefer strong tonics and altera
tives. This is all in keeping
with modern medical science.
It explains why Ayer's Sar
saparilla is now made entirely
free from alcohol. Ask your
doctor. Follow his advice.

KASPARILLA
This sterling household remedy has
long been recognized as the best and
lafest Blood Purifier, the most successful
Prescription for spring humors and such
isorders of the blood as boils, pimples,
pustules, blotches, sores and cutaneoui
:ruptions. Kasparilla is admitted to b
Jie best remedy for that lack of energy
tnd the peculiar debility so prevalent
luring the close of winter and the openi n p
)f spring. For derangements of the di
gestive organs it is a natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
nentary canal, gently imt persistently
itimulating a healthy activity. Iti
aeneficial influence extends, however, tc
tvery portion of the system, aiding in th
processes of digestion and assimilation ot
bod, promoting a wholesome, natural
tppetite. correcting sour stomach, bad
Dreath, irregularities of the bowels, con
itipation and the long list of trouble!
iirectly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kasparilla dispels drowsi
ness, headache, backache and despond
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. It is s
itrengthening tonic of the highest value.
