A VOICE FROM UTAH
Mrs. Dowd's Significant Warning
to Mothers Of Growing Girls.

Mothers cannot be too careful of
girls who are approaching womanhood, "
says Mrs. d. f. Dowd, of Nephi City,
Utah. She speaks from the fullness of
experience, for her own trouble began
with the first critical time of her life.
"From the time | was sixteen years old,
she SAYS, al suffered constantly from
female weakness and my present good
health is due entirely to DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, as you will see. l caught
cold" she continued, cat critical
time and endured tortures as conse-
quence. My color became very bad,
was nervous and grew constantly worse.
Then l began to have palpitation OF the
heart and my blood became in a wretchcd
condition. felt tired and languid all
the time and was hardly able to get
around at my work.
None of the medicines that l tried
made any difference i'll my health. Twas
nearly discouraged when l heard from
my uncle, MrJ Brandon, Sr., of Logoch,
Manitoba, telling me that he had used
DR.. williams Pink Pills with the great
est benefit for nervousness. Then de-
cided to try them myself, with the re-
suit that, after taking two boxes, found
/ was much better. A few boxes more
made me feel like an entirely different
person and now / am able to do my
work with ease. All my friends know
what good DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People have done for me
Any woman who is ailing with the
troubles peculiar to her sex should try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
No discovery of modern times has proved
such a blessing TO women as these Won
derful vegetable pills. Acting directly
on the blood and nerves, invigorating
the body, regulating the functions, they
restore the strength and health in the
exhausted patient when every effort Of
the physician proves unavailng.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
| have become famous all over the world
| Oh account of the wonderful results they
have accomplished. They are not like
| ordinary medicines and cannot be inn
itated. In order to protect the public
against substitutes, the genuine pills are
| sold only i'll boxes bearing the full name
| in the form of a trademark They may be
had at all druggists, or direct by mail at

Praise for BrattIeboro License Com.
missioners.
Rutland News. ]

Those Brattleboro boys to whom licen-
sees have been selling liquor and who at
nrst refused to testify at the license COM
missioners hearing have wisely changed
their position and have been exempted
from contempt of court. Saturday they
testified. and the commissioners have evil
denCe that every license holder has Vio-
lated the law by selling TO boys under
age Isn't here a pretty good precedent
for commissioners in other cities and
towns To tollow--that is, if they have any
notion of enforcing the law?
1t viii he conceded by every fair-minded
man that Brattleboro license commission
ers nave the right conception of their
duties and are manly in performing
them. They summon before them every
licensee in the village against whom they
have evidence from reputable parties of
violation of law. In the performance of
their duties they will run up against all
the snags that ingenuity can devise. This
must be expected in every town that de-
llNers itself to the liquor interests If
this is the experience in Brattleboro.
where the license commissioners have
moral stamina and correct conception of
their duty, wnat may be said of the pos
sibiites of enforcing the law i'm those
places where the commissioners are
Weakened, supine, nerveless?

what a young woman paid for
twelve pounds of flesh.
She was thin and weak and
paid one dollar for a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion, and by TAX
ing regular doses had gained
twelve pounds in weight before

Eight cents a pound is
cheap for such valuable ma
terial. Some pay more, some
less, some get nothing for

An Expensive Legislative Blunder.

\ peculiar condition is divulGed in
Montpelier in the statutes OF 1895 rela-
tive To state fees for the Incorporating
of railroad companies. 1t develops that
section > OF Act 10, passed by the legis-
lature of lS9S, referred to chapter 10, In
stead of chapter 161. the latter being a
special chapter which deals with rail-
road corporations. This technical error.
due to carelessness in a legislative act.
relieves any railroad company taking
out incorporation papers from paying the
fee il was intended should be collected
by the state. This legal hole has Just
been noticed upon the Burlington x South
eastern Railway company, capital 81, 500 =
0o. applying for certificate of incorpora-
ton. The fee of $500 was asked for, but
when the mistake in the law was called
to the attention of the secretary of state
he admitted that the fee could not be
collected. Other railway Incorporate
which have paid fees into the state
treasury since 1898 will doubtless be able
to recover the same.

year to care for paupers that Europe
dumped upon these shores. On the basis
that % per cent. of the foreigners that
come TO these ports remain in New York

THE
ANCESTOR
DRAWN BY WALTER DE MARIs

What happened last was that Mrs. Quimby left her
husband and her home fine morning, and eloped
with what was left of her old lover.
They traced as far San Francisco and it's pro-
able they took steamer from there but whether they
went south or west one knows. Either would have
been arsh for social derects SET and there
safe harbors in South America Japan India.
7 SUPPOSE Quimby might have found out more
/ definitely, but he threw up the whole matter
soon as he came to realize just what had happened
Perhaps that the most sensible thing he could do
under the circumstances I've never heard of his
referring to his misfortunes, except when
curious female who thought she knew him well enough
undertook to force his confidence.
Then he said, very stifhy that woman lost to
every of honor could never be anything to him
not even memory; while for Furnishing Garry
we'll he could only say that he considered him unworthy
of the honor of punishment.
It's really pity that knows what's become of
Garry and Mrs Quimby. 1t would be interesting to get
his present understanding of the word "honor" Mrs
Qumbys construngs of the term may seem to have
been fairly consistent but think can assure you that
they have been very far from it. Consequently her
IDEAS if she would state them frankly and could state
them intelgiby, would be most interesting of all.
