A BAPTIST MINISTER .TESTIFIES.
The Rev. Ernest Graves, pastor of
the Baptist church, New Straitsville.
to whom Mr.. Collins refers, speaks of
the case as follows
1--WE have striking example OF
what DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People have done in this com
munity at the present time, a case
that borders on the miraculous. 1t is
that of David Collins, a member OF
nv church and very valuable helper
in it. A few months ago he was TAX
en- very sick and was given up to die
by six doctors. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills cured him and so thoroughly that
now this man, who the doctors said
must die, can be found any day work
| ing in the coal-mine. | count it a
great privilege to be able to say l adj
vised, nay, rather l insisted upon his
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills. "
WHAT ANAMIA IS.
Anemia, literally, means blood
less" and is actual deficiency of the
blood and watery and depraved
state of that fluid. 1t is characterized
by a pallid complexion, pale lips. dull
eyes, tongue and gums bloodless
shortness of breath on slight exertior
especially upon going upstairs
palpitation of the heart; feeling OF
impending death; weakness. loss OF
appetite and ambition. If left tt
itself it is apt to result in decline ant
death.
The one remedy that has proved
itself a specific for this disease is DR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
These pills have never failed to effec
a cure if used persistently for rea
sonable length of time.

Herbert Warren was at home from
Meriden for Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving passed very quietly,
quite number went out of town to
spend the day with friends. Others
had their tables surrounded by old
and young of their own kindred and
friends. Some of the lone ones were
gathered in by kind neighbors who
helped to make the day more bright
and cheerful than it would be in their
solitary homes, thus finding for them
selves that sit is more blessed to give
than to receive.

They Are the Curse Of Modern French
Women.
"rhe enemy Of the modern woman In
France is the love OF luxury and Of
money"
Thus spoke NJ. Hughes lie Roux. the
celebrated French journalist and critic.
IN n Of the series Of lectures IN
French which he Is delivering at the
University OF Pennsylvania. He be-
lieyes that this unnatural love destroys
her domestic happiness. The system of
marrying FOR money, he says, has
created what Is sometimes known as
the third SEX" l. e., the woman who
does not want to rear any children.
The result Of this system has pro
duced a class Of young women who
at thirty are unmarried and likely to
remain so. Several years ago M. lie
ROnx established a bureau IN Paris for
giving advice to unmarried women
end nearly all OF the hundreds OF wo-
men who came to him had the same
story to tell. I. e., that they were we'll
bred, left school at twenty, attended
the theater, opera, balls, etc, p%ostpon-
ing marriage until twenty-five years
old, always expecting to marry, bus
no quite deciding to do so. At this
period they invariably began to pity
the innocent young girls who married
y began to assume the cares Of their
sex. The men they saw pleased them
less and less. They were unable TO
awaken the sentiment of love for them,
and at last they found themselves at
the age Of thirty still unmarried-tOO
late they saw that marriage is only n
means, not an end.
