From ne Press, Utica, N. 2.
No stronger words OF commendation for
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, have
been heard In this Vicinity thar those ex-
pressed to a Press reporter by Miss Alma N.
Davies, OF Al Spring Street, Utica. N. Y, q
few days ago. Miss Davies is very young
woman, but she has suffered the ravages OF
disease to an extent experienced but by few
old people.
Four years ago this summer sne was just
entering the period oil womanhooi. Her
physical condition at that time may best be
expressed by her Own words; ~ was con,in-

In this way for nearly a year, growing more

GOOD ROADS HELp VALUES.

1t is computed that in some districts
OF Massachusetts there has been an
average rise in the value of property
along improved roads of over six dol.
lars au acre. 1t is, moreover, esti.
mated that the losses to farmers
in that state in hauling their product
over mud roads as compared with the
cost of hauling it over improved
roads amounts to moro than enough
to pay for the improvements. 1t will
be seen, therefore, TINT MS the profit
in the hauling of produce pays for the
cost of the road the advanced value in
the land is clear gain to the land.

River wanders From lis Path.

Some boys while hunting muskrats
near Willow Point, N. Y, made a
curious discovery, recently. They
heard q roaring sound and followed
the noise to the foot of a large tree,
where they found a portion of the cur
rent of the Susquehanna River had
been diverted and was pouring into
some underground channel with the
noise of a cataract. There was ap-
parently a drop of considerable dis
lance and the water entering the open
ing had the appearance Of a whirlpool,

A Lewiston man, who was n politician in
Portland, Me-, when General Neal Dow was
Mayor OF that city. in 1854, tells OF a man
whom he brought before Mayor Dow for
abusing his wife while drunk. The Mayor
ordered that the man be brought before
him with his whisky bottle. He put the
bottle on the table in the court room and
the prisoner fixed his eyes on 1t and admitted
that he had drunk ont OF 1t. When the man
was sent up to the jail Mayor Dow loo the
bottle along himself and requested the turn
key to place the flask just outside the cell
door. where the prisoner could SEQ 1t. and 1t
stood there two months. He begged to have
the bottle broken or removed. Once when
the door was opened he made a dash with
his foot 10 break 1t, but did not succeed.
When thai man was released he hated the
sight of a whisky bottle, and never tasted a
drop of liquor afterward.

Why 8 weasel should hate a rat Is strange,
as he is only an elongated rat himself. Rats
and mice love hidden places, and a weasel is
about the only living thing that can find
thom out. Aches and pains are like rats and
mice. They seek ont the hidden places OF the
human system and gnaw and ravage the
muscles and nerves. ST. jacobs Oil, like a
weasel, knows how to go for them. 1t will
penetrate TO the secret recesses of the pain,
and breaks up its habitation and drives 1t
out. Rats and mice shun the corners where
a weasel has been, and pains and aches once
fairly driven out by st. Jacobs Oil are per-

LIEUTENANT IN CHARGE.
Officer to BE Detailed for Night Duty
Mt Headquarters.


After conference with Major Moore
Commissioner Wight has decided upon a
change in police matters. Briefly, he has
ordered that hereafter; there shall be sta
toned at headquarters, each night a lieu
tenant Of police. who. for. the time being,
shall be the representative eof the depart
ment. The object of this detail is to have
on duty at all time q ranking officer of
the force. -
While it is true that Major Moore and
Captain Austin are always on duty and
have telephone connections with their
homes the detail will in no wise interfere
with them. There frequently arise ques-
tons OF routine, such as the amount Of bail
required In case. The sergeant on duty,
not being clothed with the authority of
lieutenant, hesitates about passing upon the
case, and rather than disturb lieutenant
compels the offender to remain all night
in a cell. With lieutenant at headquar-
tiers and telephone connection with the su-
perinteDdent of police and all precincts 1t
becomes an easy matter to dispose OF such
cases.
The lieutenant on duty, and there will be
a new one each night, will be provided
with sleeping quarters in the Office, and
will not be disturbed unless necessary.
Lieutenant Amiss will have the first de-
tail.
