The courtship period for
Ayers Sarsaparilla
passed long since, when it won the con
fidence and esteem of thoughtful men and
women 50 years ago.
You need have no doubts, if, when you
go to buy Sarsaparilla, you simply say the
old name
That is the kind that cured your fathers
and their fathers before them, and it is
the kind that will cure you. Other
Sarsaparillas may look like it, may even
taste like it, but somehow or other they
haven't the knack of curing people that
Ayer's has. }ust try one bottle of Ayer's
today.

fi Kipling Poem.
Several years ago Fred D. Under
wood, now general manager of the
Baltimore and Ohio Ituihuad, named
two stations in the upper peninsula of
Michigan "Rudyard" and “Kipling,"
one being in uu agricultural country
and the other in an iron ore district.
Some time later a mutual friend in
formed Kipling of Mr. Underwood's
action, and the celebrated author sent
Mr. I'nderwood his photograph with
the follow ing lines on the back:
•RCDYAItD" AND "Kll'Ll.N'G."
"Wise is tilt* child who knows his sire,"
The ancient proverb ran.
Hut wiser far the niun who known
How, where and when his offspring
grows.
For who the mischief would suppose
I've sons In Michigan?
Yet am I saved from midnight Ills,
That warp the soul of man
They do not rrmko me walk the floor
Nor hammer at the doctor's door,
They deal In wheat ami Iron ore.
My sons In Michigan.
Oh, Tourist fn the I’ullman ear
(Hy Cook's or Raymond's plan).
Forgive a parent's partial view;
Hut. maybe, you have children too—
Bo let me Introduce to you
My sous in Michigan.

Philip of the Texas, Captain Cook of

Captain Clark of the Oregon endorses
Lieutenant Eberle's story of the Ore

Spanish admiral's strategy.
Admiral Deweys favorite watch Is

similar timepiece. Both were made by
a patriotic down-east Yankee.

“I had been in poor health for some time, my troubles hav
ing been brought on by standing, so my physician said, caus
ing serious womb trouble. I had to give up my work. I was
just a bundle of nerves and would have fainting spells at
monthly periods. I doctored and took various medicines, but
got no relief, and when I wrote to you
I could not walk more than four blocks
at a time. I followed your advice, tak

be said too strong in praise of it." ,
Miss Polly Frame, Meade,
Kan., writes:
"Dear Mrs. Pinkham—I feel it
my duty to write you in regard to

' Nervous People.
Nervous people not only
suffer themselves but cause more
or less misery to everyone around
them. They are fretful, easily
worried and therefore a worry
to others.
When everything annoys

your nerves are in a bad state

Nervousness is a ques

the best nerve food in the
