The claim OF DR.. Williams Pink PI.ls
10 be a genuine household remedy is
based on the fact that they make the
blood sound and the nerves strong and
so overcome a variety of diseases.

word on the subject, for our own ex
perience in the past ten years ha-
taught us how well they deserve the
praise given them by 50 many others
IT was just about ten years ago that
first read about Dr. Williams Pinl
Pills. in newspaper article which
gave the testimony of some woman
who had been cured by them. Her
symptoms were so much like mine that
thought I would try them, and ]

my husband took them Tor rheumatism

good from using them and that is why
we recommend them to others"

AIMS A BLOW
AT The PRESS
Governor of Pennsylvania
Asks the Legislature to
Adopt Repressive Measures

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 3.-Gov-
ernor Pennypacker. in his message to
the Legislature, recommends the i'm
position Of a Slight tax upon each
ton of coal mined, the proceeds of the
tax to be used only in the construc-
ton Of roads or in the maintenance Of
schools"
A great part of the message is de-
voted to the press and the Governor
recommends more stringent legislation
for it's control. In part he says:
Further legislation Is required for the pro-
lection of the commonwealth from the injury
to her reputation and the disadvantage to the
administration of her affairs which arise from
the prevalent dissemination of scandalous in
ventions concerning her officials and their ef-
forts in her behalf. 1t Is not only an un-
seemly spectacle. but 1T is a crime. which
the State ought to punish when day after
day the Mayor OF one of her cities is depicted
in communion with monster, compounded
from Illustrations of Copes Palaeontology and
Dore's Dante"
In the large cities what is popularly called
yellow Journalism is gaining foothold.
There Is daily newspaper of wide circulation,
published in the city of Philadelphia, osten-
sibly by Pennsylvania corporation.

that a deliberate policy of false report to se-
cure ill-gotten gain should not succeed. What
Is the remedy? Sooner later one must be
provided.
Under the English common law when q
woman habitualy made outcries OF scandals
upon the public highways to the annoyance
of the neighborhood she was held to be a
common scold and a public nuisance. Any
body may abate public nuisance and she
was punished by being ducked in neighbor-
ing pond.

CONVENES IN ITS
NEW QUARTERS

The Sequoia Club convened with a
small but very congenial representa-
tion last evening in it's temporary home
in the Palace Hotel.
Perhaps just tinge Of homesickness
pervaded for the customary haunt at
the St Francis, but the atmosphere was
conducive to cozy chatting, which was
plentiful, there being no "lion'' to shed
luster on the general assembly.
An occasional observation disclosed
among others Sir Charles Tupper
Charles Aiken, Mr.. and Mrs. Fremont
Older, Mr.. and Mrs. Mersfelder, Mrs H
e. Huntington, Miss Eleanor Connell
Miss Ednah Robinson, Mr.. and Mrs
Keating, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Deering
Signor Ventura, Mrs. c. w. Bennett
and Mrs. Elizabeth Gerberding.
Pending the arrangements for q per-
manent home the Sequoians may be
very comfortable in the pretty suite
186-187, on the second floor, New Mont
gomery street side. The adjustment in
the meantime to new surroundings will
be easy among so much camaraderie as
exists in this combination Of art-loving
beings.

DENY LICENSE
FOR BAY STATE
Police Commission Insists
on Exacting Regulations
for French Restaurants

A renewal OF the liquor license of
the Bay State cafe was denied by the
Police Commissioners last night be-
cause the proprietor refused to remove
the doors and beds from the private
rooms on the upper floors Of his es-
adjustment. N. NJ. Adler, who has
spent a small fortune in fitting up the
place and whose lease at $500 a month
has nine years more to run, pleaded
that he was conducting hotel, that
he needed the private rooms and beds
for his patrons, as does the Palace Ho-
tel for it's guests. Attorney Rosenthal
reinforced his argument, setting forth
that in his opinion the commission was
going beyond all bounds of reason in
trying to make a Puritan city of San
Francisco" But their pleadings were
in vain. for Commissioners Hutton
and Reagan declared themselves
strongly for a ''wide-open house.
where there can be no trysting place
and no seclusion from the peering eyes
that are calculated to enforce morality.
Commissioners Drinkhouse and How
ell tried to save Adler from the ruin
OF his business, but the votes of their
two colleagues were sufficient to deny
his application. Reagan and Hutton,
from their manner and statements, are
evidently determined in their campaign
against the French restaurants The
licenses Of Delmonico's and the Old
Poodle Dog are in jeopardy, for they
are up for renewal and the hearings
viii be held next Tuesday night.
Pedro Carrere of the Old Poodle
Dog explained to the board that he
mad replaced the doors of his rooms
WIN portieres, but Reagan and Hutton
sald that would not do and that the
hearing must go ON at the next meet
