LOSS OF APPETITE Most Successfully Treated l»y Taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. Loss of appetite is accompanied by loss of vitality, which is serious. It is common in the spring because nt this time the blood is impure and Impoverished and fails to give the digestive organs what is absolutely necessary for the proper performance of their functions. Hood's Snrsaparllla, the old reli able all-the-year-round medicine, is especially useful in the spring. Get it from your druggist today. By puri fying and enriching the blood and giv ing vitality, vigor and tone, it is won derfully successful in the treatment of loss of appetite and the other ailments prevalent at this time. It is not sim ply a spring medicine—it is much more than that—but it is the best spring medicine. Hood's Sarsaparilla makes the rich red blood the digestive organs need. —Advertisement. \ i I / ■ ■ / Does Your Son or Daughter Graduate This Year?

The price of Mixed Nut Coal this month is $6.55 for 2,000 lbs. From September Ist to April 1, 1916, this same kind of coal will cost $7.05. You save 50c on each 2,000 lbs. Say you burn 20,000 lbs. @ $6.55; cost $65.50. If you buy this amount on October Ist it will cost $70.50. You save $5.00 on $65.50 for six months or at the rate of 16% per annum for money invested. Now is it not extravagant to wait until October Ist and pay so much more for the coal ? United Ice & Coal Co.

Scores of food products have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. One of the commonest faults—and a serious one —is the deficiency of mineral elements in white flour foods. To this lack is due, in large degree, nervous prostration, anemia, rickets in children, and many other ills. Nearly a score of years ago a wonderful food— made from whole wheat and barley—was devised. It contains all the nutriment of the grain, including, the valuable mineral salts so necessary for perfect build ing of body, brain and nerves. That food is Grape-Nuts It has been awarded highest merits and place in the Westfield Book of Pure Foods, and in the N. Y. Globe's exceedingly exclusive Pure Food Directory.

GARRISON TALKS ON NATIONAL DEFENSES j "Self-respect Requires That We Protect That Which We Cherish," He Says By Associated Press Mohonk Lake, N. Y., May 20. —The problem of armaments, which has evoked more discussion than any other question before the Lake Mo honk conference on International Ar bitration, was brought to the front again to-day by an address of Secre tary of War Garrison. The secre tary's topic was, "The Problem of Na tional Defense." To deliver the address he made a hasty trip from Washington, using train, automobile and buckboard to reach this retreat in the Shawangunk mountains. He ueparted immediately after speaking so that he might reach Washington In time for the cabinet meeting to-morrow. « Mr. Garrison's address was not as radical as that delivered yesterday by President Hibben of Princeton, along somewhat similar lines, but he left no doubt of the fact that he favored strengthening the national defenses and making the United States ready to protect Itself from any and all ag gression. "X am utterly out of sympathy," he [declared, "with the idea that we should neglect or postpone consider ation of what is now the existing con dition, because of a hope or a belief lor even conviction that it may be al tered, even radically altered In the future. "Our isolation," he continued, "is geographical only. Modern condi tions have caused the interests of na tions to bo 'as co-related as those of families who have Intermarried. In terests of many of the large nations to-day are in extricably Interwoven with those of some or all of the others. I "Self respect requires that we should be prepared to protect that which we cherish, which not only in cludes our material possession, but that Intangible something which makes us a distinctive nation in the eyes of the world."
