Get Rid of Spring Humors impure or effete matters accumulated in the blood during the winter eause in the spring such disfiguring and painful troubles as boils, pimples, " and other eruptions, also weakness, loss of appetite, that tired feeling. The best medicine to take is Hood's Sarsaparilla, which thoroughly cleanses the blood, and effects permanent cures by giving healthy func tional activity to the stomach, livei, kidneys, bowels and skin. Hood's Sarsaparilla effects its wonderful cures, not simply because it contains sarsaparilla, but because it combines the utmost remedial values of more than 20 different ingredients, each greatly strengthened and en riched by this peculiar combination. These ingredients are the very rem edies that successful physicians prescribe for the same diseases and ail ments. There is no real substitute for Hood's Sarsaparilla. If urged to buy any preparation said to be "just as good," you may be sure it is in ferior, costs less to make, and yields the dealer a larger profit. Begin taking Hood's Sarsaparilla today, in the usual liquid form or in tHe chocolated tablets known as Sarsatabs. 100 Doses One Dollar. 1 Nothing: Uncertain About Jaelc.

Manicured hotel servants will be pre sented to-day to the guests of the Wol- cott and It will be the initial presenta tlon of a finger-nail condition that no other hotel In New York or in the United States for that matter ever has considered, the New York World says. The management has been Im pressed for three or four months with the general untidiness of waiters, bell boys and other employes exclusive of the clerical staff and yesterday the fol lowing pronunciamento was issued: "Beginning on this date every env ploye of the Wolcott who comes In contact with the guests of the hotel will report dally to Miss Cora M. Par ker, the official manicure, to have his or her finger nails clipped, cleaned, polished and filed. "This order is mandatory and no ex cuse will be accepted for disobedience except illness or other excuse which the management shall deem to be rea sonable. "A room has been provided for the manicure near the waiters' dressing room, and she will be on duty from 8 :30 a. m. until 5 p. m. "No charge will be made for the service, which tends to promote cleanli ness and which will appeal to the guests of the hotel. There is no rea son why the finger nails should not re ceive the same attention as the hands.'' The promulgation of the edict was followed by two waiters making im mediate application for treatment Serath Carros and Antlpolus Choganos. Carros has a large hand with spatu lated fingers caused by close attention to the strings of a violin and to bal ancing salvers on his finger tips. Cha ganos has a long, slender hand, with oval nails. Each candidate was polish ed off in ten minutes. "Fine," said Carros. "I like him. The younga lade, she very nice.

BATLEOAD SAFETY DEVICE. The "Death , Button" Adda to the Subway Traveler' Security. Safety in railroad travel is a vitally Interesting topic, and an article in the Circle, entitled, "Making Railroad Travel Safer," gives some remarkable Illustrations of the many invention! and automatic appliances which tend to guard tLfe public from danger. Out of these is called the "death button,' making provision as IU does in case oi the sudden death or Inactivity of the one in charge at the moment on linet where electric current has been in stalled as a propelling power. The well-known "death button," now In use in the Manhattan subway trains, is a safety device In line with this, fu ture development. In the top of the electric controllei handle, which is moved in a circle ovei a row of contact buttons by the motor man when he regulates the speed, Is I little plunger which is the real fae tor In throwing the electric current of) and on.

But should be drop dead at his post, or for any reason remove his band from the lever, the little button would spring up from contact, the current would leave the motors and the cai stop. assvsls owsvaovexcomw To OeWXs bexvejxcAoX MANUFACTURED BV THE CALIFORNIA Fig Syrup Co.

"V-v J t MMf nun,. :'' ': x 2il President Taft and His Family in Their White Steamer When the announcement was made several months ago that Mr. Taft would use an automobile during his term as president, much rivalry developed among the leading manufacturers for the honor of selling him a car and the public watched with interest to see what Mr. Taft's choice would be. The knowing ones predicted that the White; Steamer would be selected and they When their labors were completed, the officials reported unanimously to Mr. Taft in favor of the White, and, accordingly, a car of this make was im mediately ordered from the manufac turers, The White Company of Cleve land The new car was delivered to Mr. Taft in Washington a few days before his inauguration and since that time it has been in almost constant use. There pointed out that President Roosevelt has not been a day when the president had used White Steamers for two years or some members of his family have at his summer home at Oyster Bay and not been seen riding around the nation- had recommended this make to Mr. Taft as the most desirable. This prediction proved correct, al capital in the new car. It is hinted that Mr. Taft likes fast traveling and that when he rides out into the open though Mr. Taft did not rely solely on country, he does not always insist that Mr. Roosevelt's recommendation but, the speed of the car be kept within the with his usual thoroughness, determine legal limits. d to have an investigation made of all C.

Accordingly, he ! cific coast branch of The White Com- asked several officers of the War de- pany, 1470 Market street, San Fran part men t to look into the matter for cisco, said recently to a correspondent him and they tested many makes of of this paper: "We are receiving cars, visited a number or lactones so many inquiries each day asking for lull that they might see what materials details regarding the construction of were used and, finally, they investigate Mr. Taft's car and in reply we are ed the records of the different types of sending copies of our catalog. Mr. cars in public contacts and in private Taft's car is exactly like any other tervics. 1 Model 'M' 40 horsepower White Steam er except that his car has the United States cnat of arms painted on either door. In other words, when we make a car for the president of the United States there is no way in which we can make it any better than the car which you, or anybody else, can purchase from us. "Some of those writing to me about Mr. Taft's car say that although they are very desrlous of having a car like Mr. Taft's, they are afraid that such a car, is somewhat larger and more ex pensive than they desire. In reply to these letters I point out that our Model 'O' 20 hors- power car is exactly like our 40 horsepower model, except as re gards the size of the different parts. The principle of construction is exactly the same and the smaller car possesses all the desirable qualities of our larger model. In other words, I point out that they can secure an exact duplicate of Mr Taft's car for $4,000, or a car of the same qualities but of smaller di mensions for only $2,000. Judging by the demand for White cars, a g od pro portion of those di siring to purchase automobiles are quite content to trust President Tuft's judgment as to the best and most desirable make."
