RESULT OF BUSINESS CARES?
Or to What Would You Attribute
Travelling Mans Forgetfuiness?

A minister's wife, doctors wife
and travelling mans wife met one
day recently and were talking about
the forgetfuIness of their husbands.
The minister's wife thought her hus-
band was the most forgetful man liv-
ing. because he would go 10 church
and forget his notes, and no one could
make out what he was trying to
preach about. The doctors wife
thought her husband was the most
forgetful still. for he would often start
out TO see a patient and forget his
medicine case and travel nine miles
for nothing. Well, - said the trav-
cling mans wife, g my husband beats
that. He came home the other day
and patted me on the cheek and said:

DIDN'T REACH THE HOUSE.
But Lively Work Is Being Done BY
Friends of the Measure.

Washington, Feb. 10. - The state
hood bill as it passed the senate did
not reach the house today, as was ex-
pected. Nevertheless there has been
lively work in that body on the part
of the friends and opponents of the
measure in it's new form. When the
bill is received it will be referred to
the committee on territories. There
is little doubt that this committee will
ask for a conference. Should this oc-
cur the advocates of the measure in
its present form will demand vote on
a motion to concur in all of the senate
amendments. 1t is understood that the
Democrats of the house will support
this motion, and the claim IS made to-
night that at least q Republicans
have been secured to support it also
This would insure concurrence, SO
that the remaining step in the state
hood plan would simply be the sig
nature of the president to make the
bill law.

In the winter Of 1923 Mr. Schroeppel

quently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.

praise DR.. Williams. Pink Pills.
Within the bounds of China township,
ST. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry

urally attracted great deal of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results Ill Mr.. SchrOeppel'S case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight

free from the painful ailmcnt.''
