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

Latest Innovation in the Service of

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

oval nails. Each candidate was polish
ed off in ten minutes.
"Fine," said Carros. "I like him.

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. A. Hawkins, manager of the Pa-
the principal makes. 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."
