Williams Pink Pills.
Used After the Grip and Wasting
Fevers They Make New Blood
and Good Health Follows.

The evil effects that follow many
diseases-particula the grip and
the wasting fevers. such as typhoid
and malaria. are caused by the bad
condition in which these diseases
leave the blood. As a result. the flesh
continues to fall away, the sufferer
grows nervous and irritable, and even
slight exertion causes shortness of
breath. These are dangerous symp-
toms and indicate that the system is
an a state that invites pneumonia.
bronchitis or even consumption What
S. needed is new supply Of rich. red
blood to carry health and strength to
every part of the body. Such a spe-
Cific has been found and in hundreds

DR.. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.

It is the attorney generals opinion

The attorney general, in answer to an

line must be listed for taxation the
same as any other railroad property
and that the Z per cent provision does
not apply to these lines.

MAY LOSE THEIR CHARTERS.
Railroads and Many Other Corpora

Railroads and Many other Corpora
tons Delinquent on California Tax.
San Francisco. Oct 2O-Because they
have failed TO pay a small tax of SO
each, more than 10000 corporations,
among which are the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific. the Illinois Central
and the Pennsylvania railroads, face
proceedings for the cancellation of
their charters in this state.
The first step was taken in the pro-
ceedings when the list of companies
in arrears was filed with the county
clerk This filing was in the form of
a proclamation of the governor and is
soon as sufficient time is given to al
low the companies to pay the tax the
courts will be asked to, declare null
and void charters of all companies
failing to comply with the law
The annual license tax which so
many companies have failed to pay
was imposed by a law passed by the
last legislature. 1t is only a nominal
fee of SO each. but inasmuch as $4,000
companies are in arrears, it is an inn
portant item in the income of the
state.
officials are inclined to believe that
the failure of the companies to pay
the tax has resulted more from an
oversight than from any intention to
evade the law. They believe that as
attention of the various companies the
tax viii be paid. If such is not the
case, the proceedings which viii ask
fol the cancellation of the charters, it
IS believed, viii bring about a prompt
settlement.
