‘Need This Spring
Of a Good Tonic Medicine, Nerve
Builder and Blood Purifier. |
Is greater than ever before.
. The nervous strain, worry and anx-
iety, caused by the war,—
The debilitating effects of the ter-
rible influenza, grip and pneumonia,—
The depletion of the blood by in-
door life in winter,—
Have tremendously overdrawn the
reserve strength of nearly every man
and woman.
This makes the favorite Spring
medicine, Hood’s Sarsaparilla, more |
of a necessity now than ever before.
For your impure, exhausted blood,
and for that extreme tired feeling
sure to come, prepare yourself now.
Today begin to recover your lost
strength by taking Hood’s Sarsapa-
rilla, the standard Spring medicine
and blood purifier, which creates a
keen appetite, aids digestion and as-
similation. Remember Hood’s Pills

PRETTY LEGEND OF GARNETS |
Apache .Indians Believe Spirit of
Chief’s Daughter Imparts Talis-
manic Power to Stones.
There is a garnet mine in Arizona so
rich in gems that the owners some-
times say the whole mountain in which
it is located is a mountain of garnets.
The Apache Indians, near whose reser-
vation the mountain stands, have a
strange myth concerning the garnets.
One night centuries ago, they say, the
little daughter of a great chief died.
As her spirit passed out, the Indians
gathered about saw a multitude of
sparks fly up from the tepee and drift-
ing through the air in a shining cloud
settle on the mountain side, where they
‘shone like star dust, making the moun-
tain bright. Later, they declare, the
sparks which continued to shine, never
growing cold or dead, sank into the
earth and became garnets.
The Indians believe that the spirit
of the chief’s daughter still stands |
guard over the mountain and imparts
to all the garnets found there talis-
manic powers to bring good luck to all
who wear them. These garnets are
mined now and sold all over the coun-
try in rings, necklaces and bracelets
for pale-face maids. Many of the gar-
net rings are made in swastika design
—the Indian good-luck sign—and any
who happen to buy one may be sure of
prosperous fortune ever afterward.
Marriage Customs in the Sudan.
In “Sudan Notes and Records,” Mr.
W. NichoHs describes a remarkable
marriage custom in the Sennar prov-
ince which is known as “stealing°®the
fire.” On the final night of the fes-
tivities the bridegroom goes to the
bride’s ‘house escorted by a band of
youths bearing torches. These torches
can be lit only by fire taken from the
bride’s house, and this the relatives of
the bride take every possible method
to prevent. Some of the bridegroom's
friends creep in secretly at night, or a
body of them forces its way into the
house to carry off the fire. The editor
quotes as parallels the custom record-
ed by Sir James Frazer (“The Golden
Bough,” “The Magic Art,” vol. II, pp.
216-820), in which fire is used as a
fertility charm in marriage ritual. But
this is not an exact parallel, and, as-
suming that the charm is in the inter-
est of tne bride, it does not account
for the resistance made by her friends
when the bridegroom’s party endeav-
ors to procure fire from her home
hearth.
Getting the Most Out of Life.
With the growing mind the minutes
pass unnoticed. To the stirring soul
life is so full of action that the min-
utes count only in the total of achieve-
ment. For the man of action there is
no time for dragging hours. Every
minute has its task, and all too fast
fly the hours—the minutes scarcely
have existence. It is different with
the laggard. He waits the passing
of time. And time waited for seldom
gratifies the loafer. To prove time's
worth you have only to crowd the
minutes with worth-while efforts and,
before you are ready for it, the gong
will ring. And every minute well spent
lures the toiler into new realms of
effort, shortening the minutes and add-
ing to their charm.—Grit.

i The long war made us sick and

so alas, we did not paint the cowshed
and the pump; we read long tales of
bones and wne, and let our chores to
thunder go, and now our houses look
as though they should be at the dump.
We had no heart to trim the trees, or
bear dead cats away, when mighty le-
gions, o’er the seas, engaged in bloody
fray; and while those legions thunder-
ed on, the tin cans gathered on the
lawn, with broken dish and demijohn,
and heaps of leaves and hay. While
still upon the Kaiser’s brow the ty-
rant’s crown was seen, we had no
heart to groom the cow, or plant the
pinto bean; we had no heart to deco-
rate the lawn swing and garden gate;
we merely stood and railed at fate,
