PRINTED POSTAL
CARDS FOR LIVING
A CoUNTERFEiTER HAS BEEN
WORKING THE SCHEME FOR
TWO YEARS AND SOLD HIS
PRODUCT ALL OVER COUNTRY.

Chicago, April 24.-A postoffice fraud
involving the issue and circulation of mil
lions of postal cards was brought to a
close tonight by Postoffice Inspector Stu
art, who arrested Louis Smith and confis-
Gated over 100, 900 cards, printing presses,
cardboard and plates. Two weeks ago
Inspector Stuart found a postal card that
had a suspicious look. He at once began
an investigation. and since then he has
succeeded in learning all that was neces-
sary to prosecute the counterfeiter.
Smiths scheme, according to Inspector
Stuart, was to have a printing company
enamel a quantity of the cards as though
they were to be used for a perfectly le-
gitimate purpose. Another firm he had
engrave a plate with Jefferson's head on
an invitation card. Still another he had
engrave "The United States of America" !"
Then he would place all these parts to-
gether and thus complete an excellent
imitation postal card. 3e.5-
Inspector Stuart says that from the
business In cardboard and other evidence
he has he thinks that Smith must have
made millions of the cards and that he
sold all he made to all parts of the coun-
try Smith admits that he has been en-
gagged in the business for two years.
Many Other Violations.
Washington, April 24.-Several important
arrests for violations of the postal laws

$500 of money order funds Acting Post

Mich, was arrested at that place on a
charge of OBTAINING and opening official
mail and was held under $1,000 bond. Some
time ago a new postmaster was appointed
for Leesburg and the papers sent from
the department failed to reach the ap-
pointee. An investigation was started
and when duplicate appointment papers

to be delivered to him, the acting post
master was arrested. The papers have
been recovered and turned over to their
rightful owner.

DEADLY GRIP
MAKES ITS YEARLY APPEARANCE
AND CLAIMS MANY VICTIMS.
An Immense Amount OF Suffering from
This Sause-A Few Ekints on How to
Guard Against 1t and Its More
Dreadful AIIer-E Effects.

With each recurring epidemic of the
grip it becomes more evident that
IL leaves in its wake a train of stub
porn ailments that often battle the
Skill OF physicians. Loss of flesh,
thln blood, nervousness, shortness OF
breath, exhaustion after slight exer-
tlon-so that it is often difficult to
walk up stairs-these are a few of the
symptoms of after-effects of the grip.
More serious results often follow and
grip has come to be regarded as the
hlghroad to pneumonia, bronchitis and
even consumption.
Miss Nellie Hathaway, a winsome
girl OF fifteen, living at No. 100 Por-
tage street, Kalamazoo, Mich, was n
of the many who We're afflicted with
grip last winter. The disease left her
all rundown and her blood in a very
impure condition. Her case is best
stated in her own words.
L was taken with the grip in
March," she says, and when l got ov-
er that it left me in a very poor phyi-
cal condition. l was weak all over,
had no ambition to do anything and

nothing that did force myself to eat

out with boils and my eyes became
sore and infiamed and l know my blood
was in an awfully bad condition. We
had a doctor but he did me no good at
all that We could see, so my mother
thought she would doctor me herself.
My sister, frankie, had taken DR.. Will

gan taking them. l took about two
boxes when | began 20 feel better and

any more boils and | am strong and

Williams Pink Pills for Pale People to
many of our friends and they have tax
en- them with good results"
These pills have become famous all
over the world for their wonderful eff
cacy. Acting directly on the nerves
and blood, they are an unfailing speci-
fic for such diseases as locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, st. Vitus'
dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the after-effects OF
the grip, of fever and of other acute
diseases, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow compilations and all forms
of weakness either in male or female.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie are sold by all dealers, or will be-
sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty
cents a box, or six boxes for two dol
lars and fifty cents (they are never
sold in bulk or by the hundred) by adj

pany, Schenectady, N. Y. These pills
are not a %purgative and contain moth
ing which could injure the most deli
cate system.
