Spring is the season when most every one needs a tonic. It is nature's time for renewing and changing ; and as everything puts on new life, the sap rises in vegetation, the earth thaws out from its winter freezes, and all respond to Spring's call to purge and purify themselves, there is a great change also takes place in our bodies. The blood endeavors to throw off the poisons and accumulations which have formed in the system, and been absorbed by it, from the inactive winter life, and calls upon every member to assist in the elimination. The system is often unequal to the struggle, the appetite grows fickle, the energies give way, the spirits are depressed, and a general run down condition is the result. ' Then the body must have assistance it must be strengthened and aided by a tonic, and S. S. S. is the ideal one. Being: made entirely from roots, herbs and barks, it does not disagreeably affect the system in any way as do most of the so-called tonics on the market, which contain Potash or some other harmful mineral ingredient to derange the stomach and digestion, unfavorably affect the bowels, or otherwise damage the health. S. S- S. tones up the stomach and digestion and assists in the assimilation of food; it rids the system of that always-tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and tone to every part of the body. It re establishes the healthy circulation of the blood, stimulates the sluggish organs, and calms the unstrung nerves which make one feel that he is on the verge of prostration. S. S. S. gives an appetite and relish for food that nothing else does, and by its use we can find our selves with as hearty, hungry an appetite in Spring as at any other season. It acts more promptly and gives better and more lasting results than any other remedy, and is absolutely safe because of its vegetable purity. Dyspeptic, irritable, nervous, debili tated people will find S. S. S. is just the medicine that is needed for the purification of the blood, which, from its diseased or impure condition, is causing their trouble, as well as for toning up and helping the entire system. When you take your tonic this Spring do not experiment, but get the best the tonic with forty years of success behind it, and the one endorsed by the best people all over the country S. S, S., THE GREATEST OF ALL TONICS It is necessary at this time, when the system is depleted and weakened at every point, that the right remedy be used one that is especially adapted to the condition, and S. S. S. has proved itself to be this remedy for many years. If it is taken at the first sign of Spring the system will be so tne season will not be telt as KEEP CHINESE OUT COMMISSIONER OF IMMI GRATION IS HEARD. Would Enforce Present Exclusion Law and In Addition Would Plnce Amer ican Agents at All Chinese Ports to Examine Certificates of Return ing Chinese Sargent Wonld Also Re-rcglstcr AH Chinese Now In the lulled States. Commissioner General Sargent, of the immigration service, was heard by the house committee recently on foreign affairs relative to the propos ed amendments to the Chinese exclu sion act. The commissioner reviewed at length the difficulties in the way of enforcing the present law. The greatest cause of complaint nrose, in his opinion, from the fact that what are known as "section six certificates," which are In reality passports of Chinese privileged to land in this country, were made out in blank by United States consular officers In China, nnd were sold for a consideration. The remedy, he sug gested, was to have officers in China who should Investigate the certificate Issued to every Chinese and who should send with the steamship in which he sailed proper papers to the Immigration authorities at tho port of destination, the means of readily Identifying the Chinese and the certi ficate. Sargent declared that today Mexico Is flooded with Chinese who are schooling themselves for fraudulent entry Into the I'nlted States. The sit uation as to Canada Is very much bet ter than It was several years ago, be cause of an agreement with the Cana dian railroads. Sargent also advocated an amend A BBOTKEL of the Buffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off.

He said the country Is full of Chinese who are here in violation of the law. After the re-reglstratlon he would then send out of the coun try all Chinese who did not have prop er certificates. The difficulty of enforcing the Chi nese exclusion act, Sargent said, is because of the dishonesty of Ameri can attorneys. The Chinese Six com panies in San Francisco, as well as other Interested parties, he said are the interests now actively engaged In efforts to get the law broken down by lax amendments. He denied that the Immigration bu reau was responsible for the Chinese boycott. Mrs, S. Joyce, 180 Sullivan street. Claremont. N.
