universally admitted. This is the bes
time of year in which to purify the blood,
to restore the lost a petite, and to build up
the entire system, as the body is now pe

all humors, biliousness, dyspepsia, head
ache, kidney and livar complaintf, citarrli,
and all affectians caused or promoted by

when ho meets a hog now in the road he
feels like taking off his hat to it. Because,
he savs. the American hog is tho salvation
of this country. When everything else

sell, when the farmer is at his wit's end to
know where to get tho money to pay his
taxes and interest, the hog comes to his

A nractice common at county postotllces.
is for persons who have locked boxes to try
their keys in other person's boxes to see if
it will hi or if the box is locked, very few
know that they lay themselves liable to
jirosecution and fine. This act is a viola
tion of "Uncle Sam's" postal law, and is
punishable as such. A case occurred re
cently where valuable mail was taken from
a box in a postotlice by parties unknown.
A young man was arrested for the theft,
and although the crime could not be proven,
it was shown that he was in the habit of
opening boxes without permission, nnd he
was fined $300 and given one year in the
