If one feels dull and spiritless!, in
the spring or early summer, they
call it "Spring Fever". But there
is no fever —usually. It is the af
ter effect of our winter habits. The
nerves are mostly at fault. Tired,
worn-out nerves leave us languid,
lifeless, and without spirit or am
bition. A few doses of Dr. Shoop's
Restorative will absolutely and
quickly change all of these depress
ing symptoms. The Restorative
of course won't bring you back to
full health in a day or two, but it
.will do enough in 4.S hours to sat
isfy you that the remedy is reach
ing that'tired spot". Druggists
everywhere are advising its use as
a splendid and prompt general tonic
It gives more vim and more spirit
tb the spoonful than any other
known nerve or constitutional
tonic. It sharpens a failing ap
petite, aids digestion, trees sluggish
livers and kidneys, and brings new
life, strength and ambition. Test
it a few days and be convinced. All

A Remarkable Man
The death of W. J. llardison
removes from the community a re
markable man, he was conspicuous
for a high sense of honor, devotion
to duty aud loyalty to friends.
His sense of duty was a fulcrum that
supported a spendid equipoise. In
combat he was a foetiian worthy
of your steel, in friendship he was
the Fidus Achates, in the perform
ance of duty the most desperate
chances could not deter him from
an attempt to discharge it. He
was staunch .straight,strenuous,and
fearless. Their was no better sol
dier in the army than he. Were I
called upon to select the name of
an ideal soldier, I should without
hesitation choose W. J. Hardison.

* Dry Corn For Shasp.
Dry corn gives better results than
* soaked corn for sheep owing to the
• better secretion of saliva In eating the
, dry corn. Oats make a satisfactory
ration when given to fattening lambs,
1 but It requires about 25 per cent mors
> oats than corn for a given gain. It r«-
I quires about twice as much corn as
grain for lambs. Roots should be fed
" in combination with grain. A ration
[ of equal parts of corn and oats or two
r parts of oats to one®of corn, fed with
roots. Is an economical ration for fat
t tening lambs.—Farm Progress.
