Spring EVflediciime
The best is Hood's Sarsaparilla. It
is the best because it does the most good.
While it makes the blood pure, fresh
and lively, it tones the tomach to bet
ter digestion, creates an appetite, stimu
lates the kidneys and liver, gives new
brain, nerve and digestive strength.
An unequalcd list of cures 40,366 tes
timonials in two years proves its merit.

OLD SORES
FED AND
KEPT OPEN
BY IMPURITIES IN THE. BLOOD
Whenever a sore refuses to lieal It la because the blood Is" not "pure and
healthy, as it should be, but is infected with poisonous germs or some old
blood taint which has corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most
usually afflicted with old sores are persons who bave reached or passed mid
dle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally,
begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because
of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint
which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms,
legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and
eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn
ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated.
Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore.
The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments i3 good reason
for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every
old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble i3 van inherited one.

VAST DEBT OF THE CITIES.
Municipal Obligation Greater than
ThoHe of Government and Stale.
The municipal debts of the country
are, approximately, $1,000,000,000 a
sum larger than Is owed by the fed
eral government nnd all the state gov
ernments. Of the total It Is worth
while to note New York contributes,
when all sinking fund deductions are
nmde, about one-fourth. '
The Increasing habit of American
cities to mortgage the future Is one of
the marked governmental tendencies of
the times. Although a marked Im
provement has taken place In the quan
tity of municipal government, whatever
the other good faults, there Is seem
ingly no disposition to lessen the pub
lic burden. The theory seemingly Is
that municipal resources ore practic
ally unlimited. For a public servant
to have prejudice against debt creation
Is considered proof that he Is an old
fogy.
The greater part of city debts repre
sent money put Into buildings, streets,
parks, etc., and no small part' to meet
administrative deficits. In view of the
size of these debts and the little the
public 1 has received from their crea
tion there can not be kept back a feel
ing of gratitude that the prudence of
the last geiwratlou put Into state con
stitutions clauses limiting debt crea
tion. Except for these clauses there Is
reason to fear, with extravagance and
recklessness In the air as It is now, mu
nicipal Indebtedness would increase
much more than $100,000,000 a year.
Religion Ended Sister' Bonnet.
An old colored mammy, who had
served the mistress of a Baltimore
family many years, was telling that
lady's daughter some of her own per
sonal experiences In her younger days.
Mammy was known as "Aunty Prior"
to the household and as "Sis Prior" to
fellow-negroes on the plantation. She
had a small grudge against one, Eme
line Dorsey, a fellow-servant, but
bided her time for revenge. The oppor
tunity came when Emeline appeared at
meeting In a new Easter bonnet, and
Sis Prior, catching a glimpse of It,
seated herself directly behind the wear
er In the church.
Every time the speaker paused In
his address Sis Trior uttered a fervent
"Amen !' By degrees she began to rock
backward and forward, and finally the
spirit moved her to lay violent hands
upon the finery adorning Emeline Dor
sey's head.
"I Just grabbed that hat off that de
ceitful nigger's head," she told her
hearer, "and tramped It and tramped
It, and all the girls yelled 'Emeline,
Emeline, look what she do to your bon
net I' And Emeline say, 'I guess I have
to 'scuse Sis Prior; she done got re
ligion and don't know what she's do
ing;' but," said this arch hypocrite
with a quiet chuckle, "Sis Prior done
knew mighty well what she was do
ing." .
