Spring is the season when poets and livers get out of order. If you have flannels to shed, pre pare to shed them in July. The well known poetical reference to spring as an " ethereal mildness " was promulgated long before the in troduction of the weather bureau. Spring poets are the best propaga tors of pulmonary complaints. Spring, ghastly springl Even a spring chicken is a delusion and a snare. If the robin is really a sign of spring he ought to be ashamed of himself. In these latter days, blizzards are the only genuine " harbingers of spring." That "tired feeling" incidental to spring is greatly aggravated by reading spring poetry in one column of a newspaper and the weather report in another. In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of cough mixtures. The most effete monarchy of mod ern times is the one presided over by the May queen. Frailty, thy name is spiing. Spring by any other name would not be nearly so deceptive. Tossibly it is because spring is the youth of the year that it is so disa greeably fresh. "Sweet spring, full of sun and blowing roses" sore throats and blowing noses. Spring, gentle spring, get a thaw on yourself. New York Sun. Your Physical Condition time. Ifyou nervous, it is Needs attention to this are tired, weak and clear that your blood is impure, and without doubt there ha3 been too much over-work or strain on brain and body. The course of treatment for such a condition is plain and sim ple. The blood must first be purified so that the nervous system, and in fact all the organs will be fed upon pure blootl. Intelligent people with out number have testified that the best blood purifier, nerve tonic and strength imparting medicine is Hood's Sarsapanlla. Nervousness, loss of sleep and general debility all vanish when Hood s Sarsapanlla is persist ently taken ; in a word, health and happiness follow after taking Hood s Sarsapanlla. B. F.

Clara Barton Wants Aid Clara Barton, of the Red Cross So ciety, cables to the National Ar menian Relief Committee, of New York, as follows, from Constantinople "Hubbell, in charge ot the Red Cross Relief Expedition, at Marash, reports April 13 : 'three thousand sick of typhus, including the English Consul.' On the 15th he reports: 'Sickness at Zeitoun increasing, with 40 or "jo deaths daily. Great and immediate need for funds. General condition of relief work favorable.' " The National Armenian Relief Committee in giving out this appeal from Miss Barton, calls attention to the fact that not one-fifth of the $500, 000, needed, by the lowest calcula tion, to carry on the work cf the Red Cross Society in Asiatic Turkey, has yet been given. Unless the destitute people are aided until the next crop is secured, all the money thus far spent through the various agencies will be practically thrown away, and thousands will perish by pestilence and starvation.
