There is a best time for doing
everything that is, a time when a
thing can be done to the best ad
vantage, most easily and most ef
fectively. Now is the best time
for purifying your blood. "Why?
Because your system is now trying
to purify it you know this by the
pimples and other eruptions that
have come on your face and body.
Hood's Sarsaparilla

Hood's are the medicines you
have always heard recommended.
"I cannot recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla
too highly as a spring medicine. When we
take it in the spring we all feel betterthrougrb
the summer." Mrs. S. H. Neal, McCrays, Pa.
Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to
cure and keeps the promise.

TWO REASONS.
No One Need Neglect Their Teeth Any
More No Pain, Small Cost.
The two great reasons why people
nsed to neglect their teeth were: Fear
of being hurt, and the expense. .
When you come to think it over now,
it is truly remarkable what a revolu
tion has taken place in modern dental
methods. Wise Brotheis, the famous
Portland dentists, are among the fore
moBt in the United States in this re
Bpect. Their announcements that there
is not a particle of pain connected with
any dental work done in their office is
literally true. And it is also literally
true that every person who goes to
these dentists is greatly surprised at
the small cost of having the teeth put
in fine older. A whole set of teeth
now costs less than some time ago it
cost to have one pulled or filled. There
is no excuse whatever for anyone to ne
glect his, rr her, teeth. Even the man
or woman receiving the lowest wages
paid in this Northwest can well afford
to have the teeth looked after and be
gin to enjoy life.
Again, a word about the children.
When a young person has second teeth,
fathers and mothers should see to it
that their son or daughter goes to the
dentist and has the teeth examined.
Oftentimes just a little work before it
is too late saves the teeth pure and
beautiful for a lifetime. Take time by
the forelock and consult Wise Brothers,

When the cold wave flag is up, freezing weather is on the way. Winter
la here in earnest, and with it all the miserable symptoms of Catarrh
return blinding- headaches and neuralgia, thick mucous discharges
loin the nose and throat, a hacking- couerh and pain in the chest, bad
taste in the mouth, fetid breath, nausea
most sickening and disgusting of all complaints. It causes a feeling of per
lonal defilement and mortification that keeps one nervous and anxious while
In the company of others.
In spite of all efforts to prevent it,
the filthy secretions and mucous mat
ter find their way into the Stomach
ind are distributed by the blood to
every nook and corner of the system;
the Stomach and Kidneys, in fact
very organ and part of the body, be
come infected with the catarrhal
poison. This disease is rarely, if ever,
even in its earliest stages, a purely local
iisease or simple inflammation of the
nose and throat, and this is why sprays,
washes, powders and the various in
haling mixtures fail to cure. Heredity
is sometimes back of it parents have
It and so do their children.
In the treatment of Catarrh. ani
septic and soothing washes are good for cleansing purposes or clearing the
head and throat, but this is the extent of their usefulness. To cure Catarrh
permanently, the blood must be purified and the system relieved of its load
of foul secretions, and the. remedy to accomplish -this is S. S.-S. which has
membrane and is carried through the circulation to all the Catarrh infected
portions of the body, they soon heal, the mucous discharges cease and tha
patient is relieved of the most offensive and humiliating of all complaints.
S. S. S. is a vegetable remedy and contains nothing that could injure the
most delicate constitution. It cures Catarrh in its most aggravated forms,
and cases apparently incurable and hopeless. Write us if you have Catarrh,
and our physicians will advise you without charge.

BREAKFAST FOR ONE.'
There I No Accounting for the Wie
dom of the Woodchnck.
That keen observer of nature, John
Mulr, tells In "Our National Parks" a
pretty story of a woodchuck. In the
spring of 1875 he was exploring the
peaks and glaciers about the head of
the middle fork of the San Joaquin,
and when passing round a frozen lake
where the snow was ten feet deep,
was surprised to find the fresh track
of a woodchuck.
What could the animal be thinking
of to come out so early while all the
ground was snow-burled? The steady
direction of his track showed he bad
a definite aim, and fortunately it was
toward a mountain thirteen thousand
feet high that I meant to climb. So I
followed to see if I could find out what
be was up to.
From the base of the mountain the
track pointed straight up, and I knew
by the melting snow that I was not
far behind him. I lost the track on a
crumbling ridge partly projecting
through the snow, but soon discovered
it again.
Toward the summit of the mountain,
In an open spot on the south side, near
ly enclosed by disintegrating pinnacles
among which the sun heat reverber
ated, making a isolated patch of warm
climate, I found a fine garden, full of
rock cress, phlox, silene, draba, and a
few grasses; and In this garden I over
took the wanderer, enjoying a fine
fresh meal, perhaps the first of the
season.
How did he know the way to this
one garden spot, so high and so far off,
and what told him that It was in
bloom while yet the snow was ten feet
deep over his den? He must have had
more botanical, topographical and cli
matologlcal knowledge than most
mountaineers possess.
CREDULITY OF THE HINDU.
Sample of the Delusions Which He
Occasionally Harbors.
Here Is a remarkable Instance of the
credulity of the Hindu, and the wild
kind of delusions which he occasion
ally harbors. The writer Is described
as a Hindu gentleman of standing and
reputation, and this extract is taken
from a letter written to a gentleman in
England:
"We are having awfully -serious news
circulated In the papers here. Extracts
purported to be from the Morning
Leader, of London, and La Bon Guon
dla of Spain, impress us that the em
peror on the coronation day was dan
gerously ill, and was never really
crowned, for the ministers caused him
to be personated by a beggar of White
chapel. We are. really very concerned
to hear It, and we firmly believe the
news to be a false creation, but won
der why the government is still inac
tive as regard to taking any steps to
punish the author of so foul a calumny."'
The gentleman who sends me the
above extract gives some other quaint
examples of the amusing fictions which
gain currency among the natives . of
India, says a writer in London Truth.
The bigger and the more preposterous
the lie, he says, the more readily it is
believed. When the Jubilee bridge over
the Hooghly was being built, the story
got about that the government required
a thousand heads of natives for the
foundations of the bridge, and had
given orders that all natives walking
over the maidan after dark were to be
seized, and taken to the "Shaitan
Khana" the native name name for the
Masonic lodge where their heads were
to be cut off for use in this uncanny en
gineering operation. The natives, it is
said, Tvere afraid to walk In that direc
tion after dark for this reason. Again,
at the time of the last Indian frontier
war, a fat Babu clerk disappeared from
one of the government offices and could
not be found. It was firmly believed,
says my correspondent, by his fellow
clerks and neighbors, that he had been
seized by order of the government, to
be made into ointment for the benefit of
the wounded soldiers. Happily, the fat
Babu turned up again safe and sound;
so no serious consequences resulted
from this delusion. If an idea like this
can be seriously accepted, as my In
formant says it was, by the class of na
tives who pass examinations and hold
public appointments, nothing that may
find acceptance with the "lower "orders"
can be wondered at.
RETORT TO THEATER TALKER.
Showing How a Little Wit Suppressed
an Intolerable Nuisance.
They had been reading a Rolfe an
notated edition of the play, and there
was nothing in "Julius Caesar" that
they were not perfectly familiar with.
Before the performance was half
through there was nothing that they
knew which everybody within half a
dozen rows did not hear about; for
among the three of them a man and
two women there were such capaci
ties for conversation as are met with
nowhere except in a theater.
In tones that alternately hissed and
brayed and rasped till spinal columns
all around them ached they told one
another that Anthony was much bet
ter done than Brutus; that Portia
would come on in a minute in the gar
den scene; that Casca was supposed
to be a gruff old Roman: that Caesar
actually did have fits think of it! that
it was a pity (this in a whisper that
shivered far down the aisle and splin
tered at least a score of vertebrae)
Roman ladies didn't wear corsets. So
on, ad nauseam.
At last the ghost and the distraught
Brutus met and there was a thrilled
silence in all the -crowded house save
in row Q, where a strident voice com
plained: "I can't hear a word the ghost says.
Why doesn't he speak louder?"
A man 'behind the querulous dis-
. turber, quite beside himself with rage.
leaned forward and said, in tones as
courteously sweet as the sting of a
honey bee:
"Perhaps the ghost Is a genfleman
and does not like to annoy people."
Which, of course, was very rude,
says the New York Mail and Express,
though it did fill many hearts with an
unholy joy.
We have noticed that in a book or
magazine article entitled "The Confes
sions of a Wife," or "The Confessions
of a Doctor," or "The Confessions cf a
Lawyer," that not much is confessed.'
CHANGE OF LIFE

Some sensible advice to

The painful and annoying symp

at this period of life are easily over

cially designed to meet the needs
of woman's system at the trying
time of change of life.
It is no exaggeration to state that
Mrs. Pinkham has over 5000 letters
like the following proving the great
value of her medicine at such times.
" I wish to thank Mrs. Pinkham for
what her medicine has done for me.
My trouble was change of life. Four
years ago my health began to fail, my
head began to grow dizzy, my eyes
pained me, and at times it seemed as
if my back would fail me, had terrible
pains across the kidneys. Hot flashes
were very frequent and trying1. A

The Time To Retire.
Ex-Senator Jewett, of St. Louis, is
ninety-four years old. Someone asked
him not long ago how old he thought a
man should be before retiring from
business. The old gentleman gravely
responded: "I don't really think a
man should keep on after he has
reached the age of ninety."
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury,
As mefcury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange the whole sys
tem when entering it through the mucous sur
faces. Such articles should never be used ex

Chicken Foil p.
After plucking a foul carefully, clean
the skin with a wet cloth, remove the
pin-feathers and singe off the hairs;
then wipe the bird with a wet cloth,
and cut the flesh In small pieces, sep-
' arating the bones, but not breaking
: them so fine as to endanger their re
! maining'ln the soup after straining It.
The head and feet are to be skinned
and scalded after cutting off the beak
and claws, and the heart, liver and
gizzard properly cleaned and put into
the soup. Allow a quart and a pint
of water to each pound of chicken, and
season rather below- the taste, be
cause the quantity of soup will be less
ened by boiling. Cover the soup ket
tle, place it at one side of the . fire
where it will boll gently for several
hours until the meat falls apart; the
soup will then be ready to strain, re
moving the bones, and finish for the
table by the addition of some delicate
dumplings, such as batter-flakes or
egg-barley dumplings.
Floor Stain.
Floors that are stained and oiled are
easily kept clean. The material costs
very little, and any one can apply It.
For an oak stain, take raw sienna, add
a little umber to it, and mix half a pint
of linseed oil and one. quart of turpen
tine. A tablespoonful of Japan dryer
put into the turpentine will make it
dry quickly. A cheap dark brown stain,
which is better for old floors than a
lighter color, is made by mixing one
fourth of a pound of permanganate of
potash In one quart of water. Apply
with an old paint brush, and give the
floor two coats If one does not make it
dark enough. After the floor is stained,
give it a coat of boiled linseed oil. If
the oiling is repeated every spring or
fall, your floor will always look well.
Whole-Wheat Bread.
Dissolve a cake of compressed yeast
in a gill of lukewarm water. Four into
a bowl a pint of milk and stir into this
a pint of boiling water, add a teaspoon
ful each of salt and sugar, and when
the mixture is bloodwarm add the dis
solved yeast. Stir in a quart of whole
wheat flour or enough to make a bat
ter. Beat for ten minutes, adding to
ward the last enough whole-wheat
flour to make a dough that can be
kneaded. Turn upon -a floured board
and knead for ten minutes and set to
rise with a towel over It. At the end
of three hours knead for five minutes,
make Into loaves, knead each of these
for two minutes and. set to rise for
about an hour before baking in a steady
oven.
Care of Lamps.
Buy the best oil.
Fill the lamps by daylight.
Lamps should be kept well filled.
Never attempt to light a lamp that Is
only partly filled.
Keep the oil can closed and in a cool
place.
See that any hanging lamps you may
have are securely hung.
When buying lamps select those in
which the end of the burner is consid
erably elevated above the body of the
lamp.
Watch your wicks closely, and change
them before they become too short.
If burning oil gets upon the floor,
smother with woolen blankets or rugs.
Eggs a la Creme. -Boil
twelve eggs fifteen minutes.
Line a dish with very thin slices of
bread and fill with layer of eggs cut
in slices, strewing them with a little
grated bread, pepper and salt;, rub a
quarter of a pound of butter with two
tablespoonfuls of flour, put It in a
saucepan with a tablespoonful of
chopped parsley, a little onion grated,
salt, pepper and half a pint of milk or
cream; when hot pour over the eggs;,
cover the top with grated breadcrumbs
and put it in the oven, let It heat thor
oughly and brown.
Simple but Good Furniture Polish.
One of the nicest furniture polishes
you can have, la made of equal parts
of salad oil and vinegar shaken up to
gether. Apply very sparingly with a
soft flannel and polish thoroughly with
soft cloths till not the faintest trace
of oiliness remains. Remember that
an important adjunct to this polish is
"elbow grease,!' and that without It
the. polish Is worse than useless, for
any oiliness left on will only gather
the dirt and make the furniture, dull.
Corned Beef Hash.
Put In a large frying-pan one ounce
of butter; when hot add four ounces
of potatoes and six ounces of corned
beef, both cut -in three-sixteenths of
an inch squares. Season with pepper
and nutmeg and fry, slowly Inclining
the pan so that the hash assumes the
shape of an omelet. When a fine
color drain off the butter, and turn it
on to a long dish the same as an ome
let. Prune Souffle.
Mince very fine one dozen stewed
prunes and the kernels of six and add
them to the whites of five, or six eggs
which have been beaten to a stiff froth
with a small cupful of powdered
sugar. Whip all well together, add
vanilla flavoring and - bake in a hot
oven for fifteen or twenty minutes.
Chill, then serve with whipped cream.
This souffle will not fall.
Chocolate Caramels.
Put together ln"a porcelain-lined
saucepan two pounds of brown sugar,
a half-pound of good chocolate broken
Into bits, and a cup of cold water.
Boll until a little dropped in cold wa
ter hardens; stir in two teaspoonfuls
of. vanilla and two tablespoonfuls of
butter, turn into buttered pans and
cut into squares.
Lemon H titter Fance.
Put a large Jablespoonful. of corn
starch, two heaping tablespoonfuls. of
granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, the
grated rind of a lemon and the Jqice of
an ounce of butter and the yelks of
two'eggs In a saucepan and beat thoni
together until smooth and light: thfii
add quickly a pint of boiling water;
and cook . until it begins to thicken.
