A Thankful Girl.


Miss Lottie Donell lives with her parents
at 702 Natoma Street, San Francisco She
is young lady nineteen years of age, and of
prepossessing appearance. Ever since she
was ten years old Miss Donell has been a
sufferer from rheumatic affection of the
wrist, and since she was thirteen years of
age she has been subject to various female
weaknesses which have kept her physical
vitality at a very low stage. Thus, as she
says, she has been a victim of disease ever
since she can remember. When she was
a little girl at school she was always placed
at disadvantage with her playmates on ac-
count of her frailty- of body and timidity of
more boisterous games, although she always
longed to do so.
But the embarrassing conditions of Miss
Donells life have all been eliminated with
in the past year, and the change is wholly
due to the effective work of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
at must be remembered" said Miss
Donell in telling of the great relief that DR..
Williams Pills had afforded her, "that at
the time / began taking the pills had been
for years confirmed invalid. My wrist was
swollen out of all proportion by the chronic
rheumatism that had long since settled in it.
The female complaints from which had so
long suffered had wasted my body away until
l was but mere shadow of my former self
and l had really come to think that the
brightness and happiness of life was not
meant for me. l had not the energy to per-
form even the most simple of my household
duties, and, in a word was completely run
down. l began to take DR.. Williams Pills
while I was in this condition and before I
had taken half box of them realized that
they were doing me good. 1 began to feel
lively again and to lose the lax feeling in
my limbs. 1 felt so happy over the momen-
tary relief that had been afforded me that
resolved to continue taking the pills. After
taking several more boxes was more than
convinced of the hig merits of the pills, for
I was then wholly relieved from the rheu-
matte pains in my wrist and 1 had so far re-
gained my vitality Of body that really
believed I had never experienced the ener-
waiting effects of those wasting diseases which
are so peculiar to women. It is very great
pleasure to me to be able to tell my young
lady friends of the relief that has been az
forded me by DR.. Williams Pills and will
surely continue to recommend their use to
all who are afflicted with the complaints
from which suffered"

The meeting was mainly devoted to a

some plan would be submitted for forest
preservation which. it was hoped, would
prove Of immense value to the economic
interests of the country, but no definite

CURRENCY COMMISSION
Prospect That the HeatwoIe Resolution
May be Eesurrected

Washington, Nov. 13.-During the last
session of congress Representative Heat
mole of Minnesota introduced resolu-
ton providing for a non-partisan cur
rency commission. BY its terms the pres
ident should appoint citizens, eminent
in trade, political economy and bank
ing, to act with the comptroller of the
currency, as a commission of experts
10 offer recommendations for needed
changes in ''our present inadequate bank
ing and currency SYSTEM" and to report
its recommendations to congress, This
resolution, ii is said, may be pressed dur
ing the coming session of congress. es-
pecielly in view of the fact that con-
siderable discussion has been engender-
ed as 10 the currency legislation in the
next congress. IT is known that the
banking and currency committee of the
house, TO which the Heatwole resolution
was referred, was not faVorably impress
ed with it, because the committee beiiev-
ed itself as competent to evolve a salts
FACTORY currency scheme. As nothing
was accomplished in the last session, It is
now possible that a currency commission
may be looked upon with favor. especi-
ally as the prospect Of definite financial
legislation is somewhat remote
