' 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
