RHEUMATISM NEURALGIA AND
NERVOUS PROSTRATION
-
Husband and Wife Restored to Health
by Hoods Saraaparllla
J Impure blood is often the cause of a
long train of ailments The blood is
the vital fluid upon which all the or
gans depend for nourishment When
this nourishment falls to be supplied
properly the whole system feels ti
ifect Read this letter
Several years ago I was taken with
the grip and I was sick all winter I
had nervous prostration and a long
4 v
ft train of ailments that rouow cioseij
with that rerrible malaay Last winter
It seized me again It went to my lunge
and I had congestion of the lungs and
kidney and liver trouble When I felt
its approach I
Quickly Resorted to Hoods
Sarsaparilla and a glorious result
followed I was on my feet the
first winter for seven years The symp
toms of the disease left me and the
ailments connected with it For sev
eral years my husband was a sufferer
with rheumatism and neuralgia He
was all run down and in a very bad
way He took many kinds jof medicine
without any permanent benefit until
he began taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
This medicine cured the pains of rheu
matism and neuralgia and he said he
felt like a new man If all those who
ar suffering from nervous troubles or
rheumatism would give Hoods Sarsa
parilla a trial they would find that it
speaks for itself Mrs F G Pratt

THE SAVORY ONION
The Somewhat Despised Vegetable Is
Useful and Wholesome
Few realize that perhaps the most
useful of all vegetables to the cook as
well as the housewife is the savory
and healing onion Soups sauces
chowders made-over-dishes in fact al
niuit every meat or fish dish that is
served Is seasoned with a few drops
of onion juice and one would wonder
what was wrong If this juice was omit
ted History classes the onion among
the oldest vegetables known and it Is
spoken of with deference The onion
was among the things the Israelites
longed for while in bondage and a
tourist traveling through the eastern
countries writes that it is not to be
wondered at as the onions grown in
Egypt are most delicious A celebrated
medical authority says
Onions make a nerve tonic not to be
despised No other vegetable will so
quickly relieve and tone up a worn
out system and they should be eaten
freely particularly by brain workers
and those suffering with blood and
nervous diseases He further says
Nothing will clear and beautify a poor
complexion sooner than the eating of
onions in some form
If onions are prepared properly there
Is little or no odor from them left in
the breath and for lovers of uncooked
Vsliced onions it is well to know that if
sT1spchj of parsley is clipped in vinegar
and eaten no unpleasant odor in the
breath can be detected With so much
to recommend it the onion in some form
should be found frequently upon the
daily menu
Onions should be cooked always in
agate or porcelain lined vessels for
Ironware Is liable to make them dark
colored If the onions are held under
water while peeling there will be no
shedding of tears To extract the juice
from an onion cut a thick slice from
one end of the vegetable and press the
cut surface against the coarse grater
moving the onion a little and letting
the juice run from the corner of the
grater Cut off another slice of the
onion and repeat until you have the
desired quantity
They are best suited to be happy
who are neither too high nor too low
high enough to see models of good man
ners and obscure enough to be left in
the sweetest of solitudes

PECULIARITIES OFTHE BUFFALO
Their atsiaiDMli toIDeatnxctloa W3mr
3tamjde
JQne peculiarity o the buffalo inow
almost extinct -was 4ts habit when
stampeded of dashing blindly forward
against over or through anything that
might be in the way When running
a herd of buffalo followed its leaders
and yet these leaders lost tke power of
stopping or even of turiilag aside be
cause they were constantly crowded
pon and pushed forward by those be
hind Tills explains why herds would
dash into mire or quicksands as they
often did and thus perish by the thou
sands Those in front could not stopk
while those behind could not see the
danger toward vhloh they were rush
ing So too tboy ran into rivers or
into traps made for them by the In
dians or against railroad cars or even
dashed into the rivors and swam blind
ly against the 6idee of steamboats
Tlie buffalo were fond of rolling in
the dirt and to this habit practiced
when the ground was wot are due the
buffalo wallows which so frequently
occur in the old ranges and which
often contain water after all other
moisture except that of the streams is
dried up Thes wallows were formed
by the rolling of a succession of buffalo
in the same moist place and were often
quite deep They bare often been de
scribed Less well known was the hab
it of scratching themselves against
trees and rocks Soinetimos a solitary
erratic bowlder five or six- feet high
may be seen on the bare prairie the
ground immediately around it being
worn down two or three feet below the
level of the surrounding earth This is
where the buffalo have walked about
the stone rubbing against it and where
they trod loosening the soil which has
been blown away by the wind so that
in course of time a deep trench was
worn about the rock Often single
trees along streams were worn quite
smooth by the shoulders and sides of
the buffalo
When the first telegraph lino was
built across the continent the poles
used were light and small for trans
portation over tho plains was slow and
expenive and it was njpt thought sec-
essary to raise the wires high above
the ground These poles were much re
sorted to by the buffalo to scratch
against and before long a great many
of tiiem were pushed ovor A story is
told of an ingenious employe of the tel
egraph company who devised a plan
for preventing the buffalo from dis
turbing the poles This be expected to
accomplish by driving Into them spikes
which should prick the animals when
they rubbed against them The result
somewhat astonished the inventor for
it was discovered that where formerly
one buffalo rubbed against the smooth
telegraph poles ten now struggled and
fought for the chance to scratch them
selves against the spiked poles the
iron furnishing just the irritation which
their tough hides needed
Cecil Rhodes Dislike t Women
Often mentioned is Cecil Khodes dis
like to women and the fact that he
will not allow a female to serve him in
any way He had a secretary to whom
he was much attached One day he
announced the fact that he was going
to be married The chief was thunder
struck and after glaring at him for a
second growled out Where the devil
am I to get another secretary and
then walked out of the room and
banged the door Hia innate goodness
of heart however prevailed after a bit
for he presented the bride with some
lovely diamonds and when soon after
he left for England he lent the young
couple his carriages and horses so that
the offending bride was enabled to re
turn her wedding calls at his expense
It never occurred to him however to
keep his favorite secretOiry on The
mere fact of his marrying put that quite
out of the pale of possibility
The man who scoffs at the friendly advice
to take something for that cough will keep
on coughing until he changes his mind or
changes his earthly residence A great many
scoffers have been converted by the use of
the standard cough remedy of the past half
century Ayers Cherry Pectoral But some
are scoffing and coughing yet They wheeze
with asthma bark with bronchitis or groan
with the grippe Singular is nt it the number
of stubborn people who persist in gambling
with health and perhaps life as the stake when
they might be effectually cured of cough cold
or lung trouble by a few doses of
Ayers Cherry Pectoral

A Generous Senator
Senator Ben Wade of Ohio one of
the- intellectual giants developed by the
civil war carried his brains in a head
as bald as an elliptical billiard ball
But he always wore a beautiful glossy
wig of jet black hair One day just
after he had concluded a very strong
speech in Congress he was waited up
on in the lobby of the Capitol by a
young woman
Senator began the young woman
I have listened to every word you
have uttered to day with the greatest
of interest and ohl what a galant man
you are Would you object to give me
a curl of your hair to carry home to
Ohio with me
Why certainly madam you can
have it all answered the Senator re
moving the wig and handing it to the
astonished woman

The Army Uniform May Bo Gray
It may be some years yet but I would

says an army affieer who has given
much attention to the subject In an
official way Statistics show the pro
nounced colors in uniforms operate
against their wearers in that it makes
them conspicuous Many of the longest-headed
officers of our army favor
a change of color for the uniform that
is the uniform for fighting service For
dress parades of course there Is no
need of changing the blue Our senti
ment is strongly in favor of it and will
continue that way though our experi
ence has been that blue and especially
dark blue has caused the death of
thousands of men who might have es

Tho Best Roofing Material
The problem of roofing is one that has
foug received the attention of builders
and property owners generally To find
a material that would resist the action of
the elements prove impervious to the ac
tion of gases so often generated in man
ufacturing establishments and that
could be relied upon under the meet trying
conditions has received much attention
from ambitious inventors From the
thatched roofs of the early settlers the
evolution slowly progressed through vari
ous stages of shingles tin tar and iron
all of which have been found wanting in
many respects To day after long ex
perimenting it is conceded that the only
material meeting all the requirements of
the perfect roof is Fays Manilla Roofing
This material looks and feel like leather
will not rust or corrode is impervious to
the action of gases and is absolutely
water proof It will outwear the roof
of tin or iron and in eyorv way is by
far the most economical - It alto forms
a durable substitute for planter on walls
and is largely used for this purpose Ev
eryone who is interested in roofing on a
large or small scale can secure samples
