WHAT ROME THINKS

AN AMERICAN REMEDY
Or. Lapponi Uses DIR. Williams Pink Pills

DR.. Lapponi Uses DIR. Williams Pink Pills
In His Practice Because Results
Meet His Expectations.
DR.. Lapponi, the famous physician to
the Vatican, whose name has recently
come so greatly to the front on account
of his unremitting attention to His
Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and
the high esteem and confidence with
which he is regarded by the present
Pope, His Holiness Plus X, is a man of
commanding genius. He is more than
a mere man of science he is a man Of
original and independent mind. I'M
trammeled by the "etiquette" of che
medical profession and having used DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in
his practice with good results, he freely
avows the facts and endorses the value
of this remedy with an authority which
no one will venture to question.
Or. Lapponi's Letter. y
81 certify that I have used DIR.
J Williams Pink Pills in four cases
of the simple anamia of develop
ment. After a few weeks of treat
ment, the result came fully up tony
expectations. For that reason /
shall not fail III the future to extend
the use of this laudable preparation
not only in the treatment Of other
forms of the category of anamia or
chlorosis, but also in cases Of neuras-
thenia and the like"
(Signed) GIUSEPPE LAPPoNI,
Via del Gracchi 1872, Rome.
The s'simpleanamia of Development
referred to by DR.. Lapponi, is of course,
that tired, languid condition of young
girls, whose development to womanhood
is tardy and whose health, at that period,
is 50 often imperiled. His opinion Of
the value Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
Tor Pale People at that time is of the
highest scientific authority, and it con-
firms the many published cases in which
an8mia and other diseases of the blood,
as well as nervous diseases such as ner-
vous prostration, neuralgia, st. Vitus'
dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia
have been cured by these pills. They
are commended to the public for their
efficiency III making new blood and
strengthening weak nerves. After
such an endorsement they will be ac-
cepted by the medical and scientific
world at their full value.

corresponding period of 1904.
The total stock of money in the
country at the close of the fiscal year
1904 was $2,SO3, 5O4,135, an increase
of $11S,793,14S over the preceding
year. The share of gold, which July 1.
1900, was 44.21 per cent, became 47.35
on the same date in 1904. A large
part of the increase in gold has settled
into the treasury vaults. Between
July 1, 1900, and July 1, 1904, the
treasury has gained in gold $25S, $780,
S49.92, the total holdings of gold on
the latter date amounting to $751;
S3S,S21.6O, with a further increase to

The extraordinary amount OF $4z,-

graphic exchange on New YORK.
1904, amounted to $2,519,142,S60, a

S95.213, or 81 per cent; of the de-
nomination of $50 and over, the
growth was $1O6, 335,725, or 29.01 per
cent, owing to an unusually large issue
of gold certificates. The demand for
small bills has been unceasing, becom-
ing more urgent in the autumn, as in
other years. The appeal is not con-
fined to any particular district. 1t
comes from the cotton and sugar re-
gions, as well as from the states which
produce wheat and corn, cattle and
swine. The department has employed
all it's resources to respond to this de-
mand; but the supply of small notes
is insufficient.
To assist in the movement of the
crops, transfers of funds are effected
fund, and for deposits of large gold
certificates in New York payments are
made at other treasury offices of sill
yer dollars, silver certificates, and
United States SO notes.
The United States paper currency
issued during the year amounted to
$3.50, 900, an increase of 18 per
cent, with growth of g. per cent IN
the number of pieces. The redemp-
lions were $565. 340,300, an increase of
1871 per cent, while in the number of
pieces the growth was 21.5 per cent
The experience of the fiscal year
1903 shows the average cost for each
piece of United States paper currency
issued and redeemed to be less than

months of s149,654, 701, or 17.3 per

forms were S164,209,70S more than
the receipts in such money.

NATIONAL BANKS.
Since the issue of the first charter

been authorized to begin business, of
which 5,457, with aggregate capital of

September 80, 1904
OF the total number of banks char
tered, 6,252 were associations of pri-
mary organization and 1,165 con-
versions of state banks
Four hundred and sixteen associa-

settled, have received dividends on
their claims to the extent of II per

and loans paid, over IS per cent.
Under authority of the act of March

Der 80, 1904, there were Incorporated and
chartered ], 413 banks, with individual
capital of less than $50, 900, the average
being but slightly in excess of $25, 900;
and during the same period 740 banks,
with individual capital of $4,000 or
more, were incorporated, making the
total number Of charters issued in this
period 2,153.
In the year ended September 30, 1904,

MANY FIRES IN TOWN.
Did Little Damage and Were Really a
Good Thing for Many People.

There were quite a number of small
fires yesterday which were actually of
a good deal of benefit to many people.
In the first place they helped the trade
of Geo w. Stansf1eld, the popular
druggist, who sold the Wadsworth
Bros. 'Chicos" which were burned.
Then they benefited the smokers, for it
certainly is a benefit to any man to
find a cigar for Sc that will give him
more satisfaction than 10c. cigars have
before.
We might say truthfully that these
cigars were good thing for many
others, as nothing makes a man more
good natured than satisfactory
smoke such as he always gets when
he lights Chico"
Mr.. Stansfield has secured the local
agency for Wadsworth Bros "Chicos, .
and wants all smokers to try them and
see that at last it is possible to get a
real Havana cigar, we'll made, good
size, free smoker, delicious flavor, for
sc. Better try a Chico on his rec
ommendation.

average of the past u months, the to-
tai for the year would pass the $500, 900
mark. but December is usually one of
the light months of the year
Probably the most remarkable fact
shown by the 1904 statistics is the very
large number of new dwellings which
have been built during the year. AL
ready 207 residences have been built Or
are under construction, which is Al more
than for the corresponding time in 1903
The number of permits issued for build
1ngs to cost over $1,000 also shows a
corresponding increase, there being Sc
more buildings in this class than were
there for the corresponding months of
1903. Contractors have been astonished
at the remarkable demand for the cree
ton of the better class of dwelling
houses 1t would be safe to say that
a majority of the new houses built dur
ing the year are strictly modern in re-
spect to their improvements.
The year 1904 will not be celebrated
for the number of very expensive build
ings placed under construction. The
most expensive building for which
permit was issued was the $4,000 Quin-
cy school building. There were no ex-
pensive residences placed under con-
struction; none which would compare
with the $4,000 Merriam residence or

the eleven months ending December
shows what a remarkable record Tope-
ka has been making in comparison with
the corresponding eleven months of

In all its phases, the year is record
breaker from a building standpoint. The
total value of buildings erected, the to-
tai number of building permits, the to-

$1,000, and the total number of resi-
dences will all surpass any recent

The first party nomination he ever ac-

the question Of accepting this for some
time, but finally decided that as q MEM

accomplish even more than as private
