THE AMERICAN GIRL.
Is She Losing the Beauty That
Was Once a National Boast?

Bright eyes, rosy cheeks, an elastic
step and a good appetite are the birth
right OF every American girl. These
are the conditions that denote perfect
health. But, unfortunately, every
day are seen girls with pale, sallow
compilations, languid, round-shoul-
dered and listless, and the question
is often asked whether the woman of
today has lost the healthy beauty
which was once national character
istic. One of the most common afllic-
tions of womankind is anaemia,
watery condition OF the blood.
This causes untold misery and often
leads to other and even more serious
diseases. 1t can be cured, how
ever, as the following interview in the
Harrisburg Star-Independent will
show. Miss Annie L. Reel, OF No.
910 Green street, Harrisburg, Pa, who
has been sufferer from this trouble,
in answer to a reporters question,
said:
Eyes, / am entirely we'll now but
was very sick girl. About five
years ago had an unnatural craving
for highly seasoned food and after
that / was afflicted with headache
and my heart would beat about twice
as fast as it should. My limbs got
so weak that / had to rest on every
step when going up stairs. The color
OF my skin was like that OF dead
person. My limbs, and, in fact, my
whole body, would swell at times.
The doctor who treated me said my
complaint was anaemia.
1.-The doctor told me if had let
the disease go few weeks longer |
would have had dropsy. was under
his care for several weeks, but with
little change for the better"
"How, then, were you so completely
restored to health" asked the re-
porter.
II had been sick for two months
when l began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. In about a
week l was feeling better. The head
ache left me and began to get
stronger. I took the pills for six
weeks and became thoroughly cured. 4"

A WONDERFUL FENCE.
The "AnehOr" Clamps Are RsvOlutiOnizins
Wire Fences Nova. Days

wire renceS Now-a'DayS.
The surprising stride in popularity
made by the anchor" wire fence
proves that this fence has come to
stay. 1t is used all over the United
States, and it bears the test of time,
which in reality is the only convinc-
ing test. In the Pacific Northwest
the Portland anchor" Fence Co, of
TAP Nicolai street, Portland, Ore, is
pushing this fence and its agents are
welcomed everywhere, as they bring
an article which certainly is sorely
needed. 1t is probably a fact that
the anchor" fence satisfactorily
solves the great fence question.
The universal desirability of the
"Anchor" fence is understood when
you come to know that it serves in
the best possible manner nearly every
use to which any fence can be put.
The principle of clamping upright
stays, rivet-tight, to the running rod
makes every fence secure and durable.
Never before have such economical
and lasting fences been made.
These "Anchor" fences are suitable
for all kinds OF ordinary fence pur-
poses and also afford large
scope in the designing of ornamental
fences. tree guards, fancy gates, etc.
Besides this, if a man wants to repair
his old wire fence all he has to do is
to buy some of the little "Anchor"
clamps and pair of pinchers and he
is prepared to make his old fence last
long time.
1t is worth while to send for pict-
ures and catalogues to the Portland
Anchor" Fence Co., 742 Nicolai
ST., Portland, Oregon

"FRowED HINTS" AT HIM.

"Nebber frowed nuttin' at him." said

''Yer see, Jedge Briles, me an disser

"Brickbats for hints is too much lex
talionis," remarked the recorder, ac-
cording to the Atlanta Constitution. II
know there are great many people
who won't take hint, but that doesn't
give them the right to pass brickbats.
Some folks are very handy to throw
brickbats and will do SO quicker than
you can bat your eye. Henry, you did
great wrong to toss those bats. You
wronged your neighbor, you wronged
the hints, you wronged yourself and
you wronged the bats. I'll fine you

An official OF the United States Pat.
ent Once who is preparing a history
OF that institution has been impressed
with the idea that there Is little new
under the sun. He has pored over vol
umes OF ancient lore aud satisfied hlm-
self that the ingenuity OF moderns was
discounted by the wise men Of an
uQuity, In art. In the sciences, In me-
chanics, our boasted progress seems to
him to have been vastly oyerrated,
There Is not he says, a single surgical

Christian era understood the rotation
Of planets and knew a great deal about

the ancients used the telephone In some

Still, the wisdom of the ancients has
not discouraged modern inventors.
Men Of science and mechanical lngenu-

been made many contrivances remain

realizes that its limit has been reached.
