Hygiene, which asserts that it is the

substituted for tea, coffee and alcohol.
To make it properly and hygienically
this method should be followed : For
a quart take the juice of three lemons,
using the rind of one of them. Care
fully peel the rind very thin, getting
just the yellow outside. This cut into
pieces and put with the juices and
powdered sugar, of which use two
ounces to the quart in a jug or jar,
with a cover. hen the water is at
boiling point, pour it over the lemon
and sugar. Cover at once and allow

Hood's Sarsaparilla Cures, '
Almost every neighoorhood con
tains some one who has been helped
by Hood s Sarsaparilla. Mrs. J. 1 in
ley Mullen, of Clearfield, Pa., writes
under date of Nov. 28th, as follows
" Last winter our oldest boy had the
mumps after which he got cold and it
turned to diphtheria. We did not
think he could get well, and after he
did recover he had not sufficient
strength to walk. He had no appe
tite and we got a bottle of Hood
Sarsaparilla and he began taking it
In three days he was able to eat as
well as usual. My husband had
catarrh of the throat and the doctors
could not relieve him so he took
Hood's Sarsaparilla and he has not
been troubled since. Last spring
had a pain across my kidneys which
troubled me a great deal and I was
also afflicted with swelling in my
throat : I took two bottles of Hood 1
Sarsaparilla and a box of Hood':
Vegetable Pals, and have no such
troubles since.

A Humorous Fact
About lloou s aarsapariila it ex
pels bad humor and creates good
humor. A battle for blood is what
Hood's Sarsaparilla vigorously fights,
and it is always victorious in expelling
foul taints and giving the vital fluid
the quality and quantity of perfect
health. It cures scrofula, salt rheum
boils and other blood diseases.

Tortured With a Knifo,
masked robbers force an aoed
couple to yield.
Williamsport, Pa., June 8.
Four masked robbers last night
broke into the home of aged William
Condon, in Gamble township, bound
him and his wife with ropes, and
tortured the husband with a butcher
knife. They ransacked the house,
stole every cent of money in it, and
then decamped with a horse and
wagon, stolen irom tneir victims
stable.
The Condons, who are reputed to
have considerable wealth hidden at
their residence, live in a lonely part of
the couuty. Last night at 10 o'clock
they were awakened by sounds on the
ground floor of their dwelling. A few
minutes later four men entered tneir
bed room, and, after bind;ng Mrs.
Condon down in bed, they carried the
old man to an adjoining apartment
and tied him to a chair .
Then one of the men drew a
butcher knife across Condon's throat
and threatened to murder him unless
he told where his money was con
cealed. Condon told where $22 in cash
could be found. This the robbers
took. Then they forced Mrs. Condon
to tell where she kept her money, but
from her they secured only $3. The
plunderers left the couple tied and
gagged. They went to the stable and
took a fine horse and wagon, with
which they escaped. It was after 1
o'clock when Mrs. Condon managed
to work the ropes loose. She fled a
mile to the nearest neighbor, gave the
alarm, and a pursuing party was or
ganized. By a singular track made
by Condon's horse, the robbers were
traced to Montoursville, a distance of
15 miles, where the horse was found
in a stable.
There all track of the robbers was
lost. Mrs. Condon is reported to be
in a critical condition on account of
fright and fatigue, while her aged
husband is also suffering greatly.
