elbow did you get back your health ?"
GA bare chance and a lot of faith led
me to a cure. After I had suffered for
many months, and when I was on the
very verge Of despair, I happened to read
all account of some cures effected by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The state,
ments were so convincing that I some
how felt assured that these pills would
help me. Most people, think, buy only
one box for a trial, but purchased sia
boxes at once, and when I had used
them up, was indeed well and had no
need Of more medicine.
CDR. Williams Pink Pills enriched my
thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re-
stored my appetite, gave me strength to
walk long distances without fatigue, i'll
fact freed me from all my numerous all
ments. I have already taught for several
months, and I cannot say enough in
praise of DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Miss Margaret M. James is now living
at No. 1913 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio.
Many Of her fellow teachers have also
used DR.. Williams Pink Pills and are
enthusiastic about their merits Sound

If the meat is tough, or if you have

tablespoonful Of vinegar over it when

that the meat is always tender, the full

THE ROGERS CASE.
II Is BY No Means Certain That She WIN Get
New Trial.

Wind sor, Feb 5.-The attorneys
for Mrs Rogers are now ready to be-
gin the work Of preparing her case for
the supreme court
That there will be no especial haste
in the matter is shown by the state
ments Of Attorney Moloney, who says
that he "gon't be able to see Mrs Il g.
ers for a couple of weeks, as he will be
too busy"
No attempt has yet been made to Sc
cure the alleged confession" from
Leon Perham There is much of mys.
terry concerning what Perham has said
or is about to say, and nobody ap-
pears anxious to get his alleged con-
fession.
Contrary to recent report there has
been no appreciable change in the
sentiment in Vermont against Mrs
Rogers. The belief appears quite gen
eral even among the sheriifs that the
supreme court will not grant new
trial TO Mrs Rogers. Not the slight
est bit of new evidence, it is claimed,
has been produced and the alleged
confession" OF Perham is declared
to have been mere suggestion.
Mrs Rogers has already confessed
that she planned the murder of her
husband and was present at the time,
and the only thing she has offered in
extenuation OF her part was that Per-
ham hit Rogers on the head while he
was under the influence OF chloroform.
Mrs Rogers declared this was the blow
that killed him.
Lawyers here believe that the SUI
preme court will have to De shown bet
ter evidence than this before granting
a new trial.
Governor Bell has cut off all hope
OF further action on his part by put
ting the matter squarely up to the SUI
preme court, and in case the new trial
is refused he has placed himself on re-
cord as refusing further action. The
woman is now beyond the reach of an
appeal for mercy on sentimental
grounds if her appeal to the supreme
court fails.
