Victim Had Become Helpless When He
Tried DR.. Williams Pink Pills, but
Was Cured in Four Months.
Because he did not know that there is
remedy for ataxia, Mr.. Ariel endured
four years of weakness, pain and the
misery of thinking his case incurable.
''At the outbreak Of the Spanish.
American war;" he says, II went with
Company B, Eighth Regiment, M.V.M.,
into camp at Chickamauga, and while
there my system became thoroughly
poisoned with malaria. When I was
mustered out, carried that disease
home with me. After while locomotor
ataxia appeared"
"How did the ataxia begin?''
Il first noticed a pain i'll my ankles
and knee joints. This was followed by
a numb feeling in my legs. At times I
had to drag myself around; my legs
would shake or become perfectly dead.
I had constant trouble, in getting about
in the dark. I kept a light burning in
my room at night as could not balance
myself in the darkness. Even with the
aid of a light I wobbled, and would
reach out and catch hold of chairs to
prevent myself from falling?"
"How long were you a asufferer?''
-Four years in all. During the last
three years was confined to bed, some-
times for a week, again for three or four
weeks at time. When, I was lying
down the pain in my back was fire.
quently so severe that had to be helped
up and put in chair to get little re-
lief. T had considerable pain in my
bowels and no control over my kidneys.
The worst of all was that the doctor
could give me no hope Of recovery"
How were you cured?'
II read that Dr. Williams Pink
Pills had cured locomotor ataxia and
one or two friends spoke to me about
them. In the fall of 1908 began to take
them for myself and I had not used
more than one box before found that
the pains in my knees and ankles were
greatly relieved. Four months after
ward became perfectly we'll man, and
/ am today enjoying the best of health. I"
Mr.. Edward H. Ariel lives at No. 43
Powow street, Amesbury, Mass. Every
sufferer from locomotor ataxia should try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills without delay.
Any druggist can supply them.

The Octopus as Food.

In Italy the octopus is taken
and eaten. It has to be caught
at night, when it is attracted
to the vicinity Of the boat in which
are the fishermen by a bright fire
made in an iron cage in front of the
boat. It is said to make good eating,
and it's tentacles when cooked are cut
crosswise, forming rings.

ROCKVILLE, Md, July 49, 1908.
The contest now going on in this county
between Col. Spencer c. Jones and Mr..
Blair Lee for the democratic nomination for
state senator is the absorbing topic of con.
versation throughout the county and will
continue so until primary election day,
three weeks hence. Probably never within
the history of the county has a primary
fight aroused such interest Everybody
democrats and republicans, women and even
the children-are discussing the senatorial
fight"
For the past several weeks both candi-
dates have been industriously at work cam
vasSing the county and II Is their declared
intention TO continue until election day these
efforts to persuade the voters. The more
ardent friends of each are also hustlng and
are leaving nothing undone to advance the
interests of their candidate. Doctors,
preachers, lawyers, merchants. farmers, la
borers and loafers all look alike to these
vote hunters and all are sought out and
pleaded with, and, it is said, the long

known to be susceptible with a lavishness
Unprecedented in Montgomery politics.
Each candidate numbers among his sup
porters men of standing and influence and
experience in politics. Col. Jones, who is
an experienced politician himself, and who
knows the game from "a to lizard" is
being backed in his aspirations by such
men as John II. Gassaway, Hattersly w.

Radium in Mineral Springs.
m Harper's Weekly

FROM Harper NeehiS.
While comparatively large quantities of
radium emanation have been found in GER
tain mineral waters and their medicinal
properties have been explained by their
presence, it is only recently that these
waters have been tested from biological
standpoint. The famous mineral waters of
the health resort at Gastein, which We're
found by NM Curie and Laborde to con-
tain the radium emanation. have been eX-
amned by DIR. Kalman to test their effect
on bacteria For this purpose he used the
the bacillus prodigiosus and found that
the water, the sediment and the gas is
suing from the spring We're all capable of
stopping the development of these micro
organisms while the germicidal effect of
destroying the bacilli within a few hours.
Now if this water is bottled longer than
forty-eight hours none of the effects are
to be observed. and the water from the
springs does not act at all differently from
ordinary water. DR.. kallman asserts that
1t is the presence of a quickly evanescent
radlum constituent in the water that pro-
duces the beneficial effects in bathing, and
this would account for the lack of success
often attending the use of bottled mineral
spring water or of salts derived from it,
In the possible event of radium becoming
more common 1t might be feasible to i'm
Fart radioactiVity to certain mineral waters
for medicinal purposes, and thus secure

Business Conditions Indicated very
Good by Dun's Agency.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, July 15.-R. q. Dun
&; Company's weekly review of trade for
Baltimore issued today states:
"Wholesale trade is seasonably quiet,
though there is a fair demand for staple
merchandise and manufacturers are book
ing good orders for fall shipment. Bush
ness in dry goods in improving, and reports
from the south indicate that conditions in
that section are favorable.
Clothing manufacturers have enjoyed a
good season. canceila tons hav:Hg been few
er than for some seasons past, and the out
look appears good. business in boots and
shoes at wholesale shows some advance
ment though the demand is not up to eX-
pectationS for the season, and collections
are unsatisfa Glory. Local trade in furn,-
ture is dull and collections slow. though Il
fair proportion of fillng-in orders are COM
ing in from the south.
Conditions in the lumber market are eX-
ceptionally good, with a brisk local trade,
prices firm and collections prompt. Out-of-
town business in drugs and chemicals is
fair though collections are somewhat I'M
satisfactory. Business in leaf tobacco for
the week shows decided Improvement and
collections are satisfactory. The market
in paper and stationery is unusually active
and collections fair, though prices are
somewhat unsteady"

to be we'll supplied with the "sinews" and
have an ample force of heelers experienced

result of the vote of the 'toaters' will be
stand-off.
1t is apparent to every one that much bit
terness is being engendered by this fight,
and there is every indication that it will
rebound very greatly to the benefit OF
the republicans. Whoever wins. there will
be much soreness that will not have disap-
peared by general election day and the re-

out of this prospect, as they realize that

under a new law which embodies the
Crawford county system. Under the old

disgraceful scenes We're enacted and the

and general turmoil. 1t Is thought that
much of this may be obviated by the new
system yet the candidates are numerous
and the rivalry already intense, and an
exciting campaign is sure to result
Former Senator George L. Wellington
is showing his hand in the fight and it Is
said to be his aim to eventually get con-
