TOO MUCH SEWING
WOMEN SHOULD BE CAREFUL NOT
TO OVERDO THEMSELVES.
The Experience of Mrs. Prazak, Wife of
the Town Clerk of MillersviIIe,
Minnesota.

The Experience of Mrs. Prazak, Wife of
the Town Clerk of MillersvilIe,
Minnesota.
The woman with the responsibility of
house and family on her shoulders has
always been given TO OVERRIDING herself.
AS result almost every day we hear of
one breaking down. Her nerves have
given way or her strength has failed.
Such was the experience of Mrs. Prazak.
wife of J. M. Prazak, town clerk of Mil
lersville, Douglas Co., MINI. She saws:
81 had been sewing great deal and
it was too much for me. Between that
and my other household duties began
to be very nervous, had no appetite
and there was feeling of heaviness
around my heart, so bad at times that it
seemed as if I couldn't get any air. I
was so nervous always that any little
thing would upset me. Nothing that I
could do gave me any relief and it be-
came so bad that was obliged to
neglect my Homework. I had nervous
prostration.
''Some time in March, after had been
suffering for several months, heard
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie and began taking them. 1 felt a little
better and that made me willing to give
them thorough trial. took the pills
regularly for two months and by that
time my health was completely re-
stored
ST am glad of this chance to tell. how
easily and thoroughly 1 was cured by
Pink Pills for Pale People. I keep them
in the house all the time and strongly
recommend them to all who are afflicted
as I was.''
The pills which cured Mrs. Prazak
act directly On the blood and nerves and
in that are different from any other
medicine. They cure locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sci
atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
after-effects of the grip, pal.
pitation of the heart, pale and sallow
and all forms of weakness
either in male or female. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People are sold at all
druggists, or will be sent direct from
DIR. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady, N. Y, postpaid, on receipt of
price, fifty cents per box; six boxes for
two dollars and half. Do not be de-
ceived when clerk tells you that he
has blood and nerve pill "made from
the same formula as DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People" He does not
know what the formula is and he could
not make the pills if he did.

IS A KN0TTY QUESTION.
Filling of Vacancies is to Be Settled
Later.

Attorney General Douglas has re-
ceived numerous inquiries as to the fill
ing of vacancies on legislative and
county tickets by committees of the
several parties.
"The question of the rights of the
committees to fill vacancies on the
ticket is a knotty one. said Mr..
Douglas yesterday, "and I am now
engaged in looking up the law and
the authorities. I shall not give ont
my opinion until after the primary
election has been held, in order that
there may be no advantage taken of
it by any Of the political parties
The electio law provides for the fill
ing Of vacancies in one of the sections.
but evidently this will not be In full
force and effect, now tn It the Iegis.
lature at the last regr lar session
amended the law by making changes
In the manner of nominations under
the primary law. 1t is very likely
that the question of filling vacancies
will have to be passed on by the su-
pr-me court before the question ia
definitely settled. ''-St Paul Globe
