Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the exlra ordinary distinction of having been tbe only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact urers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule for bidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the world's fair authorities in tavor of Ayer's Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows: "Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent medicine. It does not ' belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on its merits." It is the same old story and yet con stantly recurring that Simmons Liver Regulator ia the best family medicine.

Ever since the flood of 1894, which al most obliterated the town of Grants, there has been a three-cornered rivalry for the chief town of. 'Sherman county touching the railroad. When the waters receded and dry land appeared, some patriotic citizens began the work of re-building ; others, who figured out a better location, chose Murray Springs as the site of a new town, while the re mainder pinned their faith to Rnfufl. All three of these towns line the railroad within the epace of two miles, and each one has set np claims to be the shipping point of Sherman county. The struggle proves to be unequal and Mr. R. C. Wallis, who was in The Dalles today, informs' us that the buildings at Murray Springs are to be removed to Rufus. Mr. Wallis has tbe contract for moving the large general merchandise store of J. W. Smith, and the stable of George Crossfield and tbe McDonald Hotel are to take up their beds, so to speak, and walk. Rufus has already be come the largest of the towns, and with the consolidation of Murray Springs will be placed in the lead. Of the three sites that of Murray Springs is the pleasant est for a townv but the channel of trade has been diverted elsewhere, and the people must go to meet it. -The start ing of the distillery again will give Grants a boom and. the vigor of the contest between Seattle and Tacoma may be repeated in our neighboring towns. , THE BUSINESS MAN'S LUNCH. Hard Work and Indigestion go Hand In Hand. Concentrated thought continued in. rob the stomach of necessary blood, and this is- also true ot Hard physical labor. When a five horse-power engine is made to do ten horse power work something: is going to break. Very often the hard worked man coming from the .field 6r the office will "bolt" his food in a few min utes which will take hours to digest. Then too, many foods are about as useful in the stomach as a keg of nail9 would be in a fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach refuses to do it9 work without the proper stimulus which it gets from the blood and nerves. The nerves are weak and " ready to break," because they do not get the nourishment they require from the blood, finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide awake when the overworked man at tempts to find rest in bed.. The application of common sense in the treatment of the stomach and the whole system brings to the busy man the full en- i" oyment of life and healthy digestion, when ic takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to relieve a bilious stomach or after a too hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and vitalize the blood. The " Pellets ' are tiny sugar-coated pills made of highly concen trated vegetable ingredients which relieve the stomach of all offending matters easily and thoroughly. They need only be taken for a short time to cure the biliousness, constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of the liver ; then the " Medical Discovery ' should be taken in teaspoon ful doses to in crease the blood and enrich it. It has a peculiar effect upon the lining membranes of the stomach and bowels, toning up and strengthening them for all time. The whole system feels the effect of the pure blood coursing through the body and the nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called celery compounds and nerve mixtures do but refreshed and fed on the food they need for health. If you suffer from indi gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any of the ills which come from impure blood and disordered stomach, you can cure yourself with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which can be obtained at any drug store in the country. When persons are weak and languid from sickness or overwork, feel debiliit ated and depressed, it is an indication that the blood is out of order, and they need help to throw off the miserable feeling? The .best remedy for this pur pose is Dr. J. H. McLean's Strengthen ing Cordial and Blood Purifier. It re stores lost strength, gives vigor to circu lation, promotes good appetite and a flow of cheerful spirits. Snipes-Kiners-ly Drug C6. ' n Hot clam broth at 4 o'clock today at J.
