' I High Pressure Days. Men and women alike have to work Incessantly with brain and hand to hold their own nowadays. Never were the demands of business, the wants of the family, the requirements of society, more numerous. The first effect of the praiseworthy effort to keep up with all these things ia com monly seen In a weakened or debil itated condition of the nervous system, which results la dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both body and brain, and In extreme cases in complete aervous prostration. It ia clearly seen that what is needed la what will sustain the system, give vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep the digestive and assimilative functions healthy and active. From personal knowledge, we can recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla for this purpose. It acts on all the vital organs, builds up the whole sys tem, and fits men and women for these high-pressure day 3. This Week' Program. The program at the Colosseum skating rink this week will be as follows: Friday 3 to 5 p. m. ; band in at tendance from 7 to 10 p. m.
