senate, have sent a telegram to Senator
Burrows, chairman Of the senate commit

tending to obscure the main issue raised

Nine Calve, Sarah Beinhardt and Jean

Chartran found Miss Alice Roosevelt a
subject much to his liking. He adnires

ACU|E INDIGESTION
CURED BY DR.. WILLIAMS PINK
PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE.
Every Sufferer Will Recognize the Symp-
toms Described by Miss Rolling.

tOHS DSSCFipSQ Oy MISS atHoiflS'
Healthy and rosy checked, looking as
though she had never known a sick day,
Miss Helen Rolling has nevertheless
passed through intense suffering. To a
reporter who called at her house, No
267 South washington street, Columbus
Ohio, she said:
1.-TWO years ago I had an attack Of
acute indigestion, accompanied by nerv-
Gus headaches and dizzy spells. I lost
in weight, my complexion became pale
and sallow, slight exertion made me
breath, hard and I could not walk any
distance without getting all tired out.
I became alarmed and sought medical
aid but the doctors gave me no lasting
benefit and I continued to grow worse.
My stomach could not digest even the
simplest and most wholesome food, and
dieting did not seem to help me. And
was so tired and worn out all the while.
ct was DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People that cured me. I read an
article somewhere telling what these
pills had done and I began taking them.
Relief came almost Immediately. ] kept
on taking them and my color came back.
II could eat again with relish and with
no fear Of distressing consequences. I
began to feel strong and active and in
| a short time was restored to perfect
health"
| What Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People did for Miss Rolling they
| will do for others similarly afflicted as is
proved by thousands of cases on file.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills cure stomach
! trouble by their tonic action, building
up the digestive organs and enabling
| them to do the work that nature in
tended them to do. Artificial ferments
and predigested foods weaken the stom-
ach in many cases. Medicines should
not do the stomach's work but should put
| it in condition to perform its natural
functions. A diet book giving useful in
| formation will be sent free on request By

The portrait of Mrs. Roosevelt is par
ticularly pleasing. It is three quarter

lying on the arm of the bench, the other

is posed in a black silk coat over a white

ness and kindness SO characteristic of
Mrs. Roosevelt'sG disposition.
The portrait4of Miss Roosevelt is small

picture is striking because of the charac-
