ENDS SIxTY-DAY SESSION.
Kansas. Legislature Passed 0fS
Bills aud Submitted Three Con-
stItutional Amendments.

Topeka, Kan. March 12.-The Kan
sas legislature adjourned sine die.
after a session of exactly GO days The
work of the Legislature has been done
since Tuesday night, but the session
had TO be kept open In order TO re-
ceive messages from the governor and
give the enrolling committee time to
perform their work.
The legislature passed 545 bills, or
two less than were passed two years
ago. II submitted three constitutional
amendments One to provide for pro-
bate judges pro tempore. one 10 re-
peal double liability, and one to pro-
hibit special legislation. The last
named, II the people accept II, will cut
out the biennial practice Of taking
valuable property out Of city tax rolls
without notice to the people and stop
other gratis by special legislation. The
double liability amendcmnt is de-
signed to make the constitution con-
sistent with the supreme court. In
1901 the legislature repealed the
statute on the subject. Aftsrward the
supreme court held the constitutional
provision not to be self-enforcing and
so now the people are asked to vote
II out of the constitution entirely. The
probate Judge amendment is unim-
portant either way.

FOR CONSIDERATION
BY THE THOUGHTFUL.
A Tribute to Weather Conditions in
Western Canada.

During the early portion of February
of this year, the Middle and Western
States suffered severely with the in.
tense cold and winters storms. Trains
were delayed, cattle suffered, and there
was much general hardship. While
this was the case, throughout Western
Canada, now attracting so much atten.
ton, the weather was perfect.
One correspondent writes: 1--WE are
enjoying most beautiful weather, the
gentlemen are going to church without
top coats, while the ladies require no
heavier outer clothing than that af-
forded by light Jackets" In contrast
with this it is interesting to read in q

NERVOUS HEADACHE

ening about it. At one time 1t Is all In
the top Of the head, at another 1t Is all
ut the base Of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced TO some
faulty state Of the blood. When the
blood Is scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
and tho digestion weak, one Of the com.
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing Is to get rid Of the
diseased condition Of the blood thai
causes the attack by the use of q remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience Of Miss Ellen McKenna fur.
nishes the answer. She says:
"For more than seven years I was O
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
and became SO restless that ! could not
sit still any length Of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. At first
the attacks were not so severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became so acute that was on the point
of relinquishing my membership in thu
different organizations to which I be-
longed."
"What saved you from that necessity"
"a very simple thing; the call Of
member Of one Of the clubs, who strongly
advised me to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
before givingup. Iacted on her sugges
ton ut once, and after steadily using this
great blood and nerve remedy for two
months, my headaches and my dizzi.
ness entirely disappeared.
Miss McKenna is secretary Of the
Associated Ladies' Guild, and resides at
No. 48 Wait street, Roxbury, Mass. DR..
Williams Pink Pills have cured many
hundreds Of similar cases, and can be
confidently recommended to drive all
poisons from the blood and to give needed
strength to the nerves. Every druggist
keeps them.
