The city of San Domingo seems to
be in IL bad way as a result of the
general conditions. Congressman Rams
dell, OF louisiana. who recently return
ed from Il visit to the island. says there
is hardly a trace of business in the
place. Most of the houses are vacant
1id few people are seen in the streets.
Everywhere are ruins, and especially
impressive the ruins of fine business
blocks. A very large brewery built
about fifteen years ago has been aban-
doned and is rapidly falling into decay.
Intelligent people told the senator that

useful souvenir from Porto Rico, which
returning tourists are bringing home is
a guarda brisa. Its name signifies a
guard or shield for the wind, and it
consists of a rather small crystal
shade for a candle. This is attached
to a candle stick and is quite orna-
mental. Porto Rico houses are open to
the breeze to such an extent that these
guarda brisas are very necessary. They
are also adaptable for summer cottages

II realized that I must give up the
harmful indulgence In coffee, but 1
felt the necessity for q hot table drink,
and as tea is not to my liking, l was
ct 4 loss for a while what to do.
Zone day I ran across a very sem

OF the claims Of Postum Food Coffee.
and vas so impressed thereby that I
concluded to give it q trial. My ex.

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How a Woman Was Freed from Troubl.s
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.

oy
The immediate causes Of headache,
vary, but most of them come from moor
or poisoned blood. In annmia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are inner.
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu.
matisln, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills All ~unfailing relief in head
aches caused by annmia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said. CDR.
Williams Pink Pills did me a great deal
Of good. 1 had headache nearly all the
time. After l had taken three boxes Of
these pills 1 became entirely Well"
Chow long had you suffered ?" she
was asked.
"For several years. I can't tell the
exact date when my illness began for it
came on by slow degrees. 1 had been
going down hill for many years"
Ibid you have any other ailments?'
"Iwas very weak and sometimes l had
fever. My liver and kidneys were af-
fected as we'll as my head"
How did you come to take the rem
edy that cured you?"
II saw in a southern newspaper a
statement of some person who was cured
of a like trouble by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. My physician hadn't done me any
good, so I bought a box of these pills.
After l had taken one box I felt so much
better that 1 kept on until l became en-
tirely WELL"

The crusaders We're Dol twenty
five in number. knowledge of the
curious belief entertained by the per-
sons mentioned was first brought to
public notice a few days before the de-
parture of the party through the hold
ing Of an autcion sale on what is
known as the Eric Olson farm, west of
Seresford.
Was Something of a Prophet.
For some time prior to the sale there
had been an intense religious senti-
ment in the community. The leader
in the religious mania was an indi-
vidual named Henry Hendrickson, who
was looked upon by his followers as
something of a prophet. Many of the
members Of his religious family fully
believed that he was in direct COM
munication with the Lord.
HIS oSiIcI was lIleIeu DN lle
fact that Hendrickson himself admit
ted that he was in almost constant
communication with the Lord. He
claimed to have had a vision, during
which he was informed that if twenty
five persons would sell their property
and take a train on Thursday, Novem-
Der "a, 1904. for Cape Town, South
Africa. they would on their arrival
at their distant destination be taken
care of by the Lord.
Had a Strange Vision.
One of the believers in this strang.
::ssion was Falker Hanson, who has "a
large family, and who at the time of
the departure of himself and the other
members of the party for South Af.i-
ca was doing we'll at farming.
The strange thing about the exodus
was that practically every members of
the party appeared to be of average
Intelligence. But so was their be-
lief in the alleged vision that they re-
fused to heed the advice of friends
who urged them to abandon the in
tended journey. declaring that If the,
persisted in their intention and depart
ed for South Africa their pilgrimage
would end in disaster.
These predictions have now beer
verified, for the members of the part,
In their letters state that the Lore
