The Best Spring Medicine
REPORT ABDICATION
It is as easy to prove that H o o d ’s Sarsaparilla is the best spring medi­
cine as it is to say it.
Spring Ailments are blood ailments—that is, they arise from an impure
impoverished, devitalized condition o f the blood ; and H ood 's Sarsaparilla
purifies, enriches and revitalizes the blood as no other medicine does.
Abdul Hamid Said !o Have Given
lip Turkish Throne.
It is the most effective o f all blood medicines.
There is Solid Foundation fo r this claim, in the more than 40,000 testi­
monials o f radical and permanent cures by this medicine, received in two
years, this record being unparalleled iu medical history.
H ood’s
S a rsa p a rilla
Cures all spring humors, all eruptions, clears the complexion, creates an
appetite, aids the digestion, relieves that tired feeling, gives vigor and vim.
Begin taking H o o d ’s Sarsaparilla today. Get it in the usual liquid
form or in chocolated tablets known as Sarsatabs. 100 Doses One Dollar.

RIGID LAWS TO GOVERN AERONAUTS.
A. Leo Stevens, Instructor o f U. S.

Every day I am firmly convinced that
there should be government regulation

for some time, but the experience o f a
certain California aeronaut a few days
ago in the Sierra Madre mountains has
brought the need home to me more
strongly than ever.
The government
regulations should consist o f licenses
for balloon pilots, and laws within
which the pilots should have to confine
themselves.
