LIKE HER OLD SELF
THE STORY OF A GIRL ON THE
PACIFIC COAST.
Both She and Her Mother are Enthusiastic
Over Wonderful Event in
Their Lives.

Miss Maud E. Gable, of Chico, Butte
Co., Calf, is bright, vivacious girl of
fifteen, with the glow of health in her
cheeks. A few months ago, however,
she was sick and weakly. How this
wonderful change came about is best
told in the words of her mother, Mrs.
Rose Gable, who says:
" My daughter was in n miserable
state of health and l feared she could not
live. 1t began with irregularity i'll the
natural functions of her sex, accompa-
MED by severe headaches, heart and
stomach trouble, and finally she broke
down entirely. The doctor said she had
anHmia, which, he said, meant that her
blood had turned to water
"The pain in her head was so severe
that she was hardly able to bear it /; her
stomach so weak that she could eat
nothing but soup. Her liver was con-
gested and torpid, her nerves all I'M
strung and her complexion just like a
dead PERSONS. She grew worse in spite
of the doctors care and finally her hands
and feet began to swell.

me to have her try DR.. Williams Pink

feel better almost Immediately upon
taking them. She grew better every
day. When she had taken them two
weeks she had gained eight pounds, and
fourteen by the time she had taken five
boxes. Her color has come back and she
looks like her old self. She has gone to
work again.

IN ACREAGE
Iowa Assessments Reveal Some
Strange Conditions.

Des Moines, July 11.-One OF the
strange things in connection with the
assessment of real estate in Iowa this
year as indicated in the returns which
have been made to the state auditor,
is that the acreage of farm land ass
essed varies greatly in different count
les, from what it was at the time of
last assessment two years ago. In
some counties the assessors found
more land than before and in Others
they found much less. On the whole,
the acreage, as indicated in the ass
essors returns, has materially de-
creased in the two years. Here are
some Of the decreases in the counties
showing falling on: Pottawattamie
county, 1906 acres; Warren 1926;
Sioux 5,613; Boone S,642; Adair 9,097:
Guthrie APO; Polk 9,096; Wayne
4,377; Henry 4,288; Appanoose 1884;
Grundy $3.50; Harrison 1909; Mar
shall $50; Mills 1,422; Monona 1922.
Among the counties that show an in
crease Of acreage are the following:
Monroe, 1884; Hamilton, 6,592; Kos
suth, 5,722; Woodbury., 1920; Palo Al
to, 2,375; Jefferson, 3,0o6; Jasper, 81
421; Clay, 3,072; Cerro Gordo, 2147;
Emmett, 2,325. Other changes in acre
age from amounts which have been
taxed as farm lands heretofore are
smaller than these sums as indicated.
The executive council begins assess
mentwork next week and it is proba-
bic that there will be some inquiry
made as to the reason for these chang
es in acreage. The losses may be par
TALLY accounted for on the ground
that much larger number of sol
dlers' exemptions were allowed this
year than before the passage Of the
law of the last legislature, giving ex-
emptions to all soldiers and their
wives without regard to their state
ments of poverty. But the members
of the executive council are unable to
account for the increase Of acreage in
some counties except on the score of
greater care in the assessment OF
property, and desire to reach all
property assessed.

batants almost resulted in a number
of personal encounters. The dogs
fought up and down the street from
cur b to curb. Both were badly
wounded and it was thought that one
or the other would be killed, so saw
age and determined was each of the
brutes. The dogs were finally parted
or fell apart. Tramp" fell to the
pavement and laid there completely
exhausted, and Tuesday" was but lit
tie better. Both animals were bleed
ing terribly and had to receive atten-
tion from friends.
Much indignation has been express
ed over the affair and several business
men have been DESTROYS of bringing
about some prosecutions. 1t is not
likely, however, that sufficient evil
dence can be secured.

course, the goldites will concede a few
words about wanting a sufficient vol

it for denOuncing an asset currency
