A SIGNIFICANT DEPART UR F.
With the departure of another
year when a review is made of the
condition of affairs, it is only
right that some thought be given
to the physical body whicli ena¬
bles everyone to battle with life’s
problem and figure for themselves
the profit or loss on (he trial bal¬
ance 1 sheet. Though tho bank re¬
count may he large nnd each one’s
material gain be great, it would
not be surprising if it suddenly
dawns upon many that good
health has been greatly impover¬
ished by 1 lie low condition of the
blood. It is in this state that the
lactic acid in the v’ a' f’uid at¬
tacks the fibrous tisssues, partic¬
ularly the joints, making known
the local manifestations of rheu¬
matism. Thousands of people
have found in Hood’s Sarsaparilla
the great blood purifier, a posi¬
tive and permanent cure for rheu¬
matism.
A show man with his magic
lantern was among the attractions
at Gray last week. At the close
of his program he offers a cake of
soap to U.e laziest man in the
audience. We have not heard
who the lucky fellow was on this
occasion, but suspect that Gene
Morgan found out that we would
not be there and bought the fel¬
low off.
The little daughter of Mr Fred
Webber, Holland, Mass., hiwl a

Those merchants wouldn’t offer
to sell me anything without at a profit, god
mid I left the place

cience condemned me. My motto

for profit and then me have
it at cost it seems like an

hospitality to go ami goods get them
But any way it their had
not cost them so much 1 might
have finished my bill, as this was
my first timt there on a trading
expidition.
