PAIN IN THE JOINTS
ONE OF THE TORTURES OF
RHEUMATISM.
Pain and Swelling Cease When
Or. Williams Pink Pills
Make New Blood.

The first sign of rheumatism is fre-
quently a pain and swelling in one of
the joints. If not combated in the
blood, which is the seat of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other
joints and tissues. Sometimes rheu-
matism attacks the heart and is quick
" fatal.
The one remedy that has cured
rheumatism so that it STAYS cured is
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. These pills
expel the poison from the blood and
restore the system, so that the poison
Gus matter is passed off as nature in
tended.
Mrs. I. T. Pitcher. of No. 180 Mon
mouth street, Newark n. J., suffered
for about three years from rheuma-
tism before she found this cure. She
says: 1T began with a queer feeling
in my fingers. In d little time it seemed
as though the finger joints had Jumps
on them and I could not get my
gloves on.
Then it grew worse and spread to
my knees. I could not stand up and
could not sleep nights. My suffering
was more than I can describe. I took
a great deal of medicine, but nothing
even gave me relief until I tried DIR.
Williams Pink Pills.
Il read an account of a cure in a
case that was exactly like mine and
my husband got me some of the pills
took them for three weeks before I
really felt better but they finally
cured me-"
Mr.. Pitcher, who is a. veteran and a
member of E. D. Morgan Post, No. 507
of New York. substantiates his wife's
statement and says that she now walks
without difficulty, whereas a year ago
he was compelled to push her about in
a wheeled chair Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
These wonderful pills cured Mrs.
Pitcher by driving the rheumatic poi
son out of her blood. In the same
way they drive out the germs of other
diseases and build up the blood to
carry health and strength to every
part of the body. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have cured the worst cases of
bloodlessness, indigestion. influenza,
headaches. Iumbago, sciauca, neural
gia, nervousness, spinal weakness, and
the special ailments of girls and wo-
men whose blood supply becomes
weak, scanty and irregular. For fur

no BE INDEPENDENT LINE.
Western Pacific WIN Favor No Road
in Traffic Agreements.

Los Angeles, Dec. st is announced
here for the first time that the Western
Pacific is to be a wholly Independent
line and that it viii enter into traffic
agreement and interchanges of busi-
ness with other prairie" lines on exact
~ the same basis as with the Ti-,es of
the Gould system.
1t is planned already to run through
trains of eastern lines, which do not
already have an outlet to the coast, to
California over the tracks of the West
ern Pacific. From this it is taken that
the Western Pacific is adopting a broad
policy with regard to the other roads
for the purpose of strengthening its
position for the fight for business which
it fOresees that it must make with the
Southern Pacific.
Even at this early date, arrangements
are being made to gridiron the entire
states of California with the feeders of
this new line, for which Mr. Gould has
been magically raising millions with
the same amount of effort that the av-
erage man would require to realize the
same number of cents.
It is confidently asserted in local cir
cles that the Western Pacific will reach
Los Angeles almost as soon as it does
San Francisco, as the great value of
this southern territory is very apparent
to so astute a hnancier and railway
builder as Gould.

GIVE YOUR STOMACH
A NICE VACATION.
DON'T Do It By Starving 1t Either
Let a Substitute Do the Work.

The old adage, "All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" applies
just as well to the stomach, one of the
most important organs of the human
system, as it does to the man himself
If your stomach is worn out and re-
bells against being taxed beyond its
limit, the only sensible thing you can
do is to give it a rest. Employ a sub
stitute for a short time and see if it
will not more than repay you in re-
suits.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
willing and most efficient substitute
They themselves digest every bit of
food in the stomach in just the same
way that the stomach itself would
were it well. They contain all the
essential elements that the gastric
juice and other digestive fluids of the
stomach contain and actually act Just
the same and do just the same work
as the stomach we'll and sound They
therefore. relieve the stomach lust as
one workman relieves another. and
permit it to rest and recuDerate and
regain its normal health and strength
This vacation" idea was suggested
by the letter of a prominent lawyer
in Chicago. Read What he says: ''I
was engaged in the most momentous
undertaking of my life in bringing
about the coalition of certain great
interests that meant much to me as
well as my clients. It was not the
work of days, but of months: I was
working night and day almost when
at the very critical time my stomach
went completely back on me. The un-
due mental strain brought it about
and hurried up what would have hap
pened later on.
What I ate I had to literally force
down and that was a source of misery,
as I had a sour stomach much of the
time My head ached, I was sluggish
and began to lose my ambition to
carry out my undertaking. 1t looked
pretty gloomy for me and I confided
my plight to one of my clients. He
had been cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets and at once went down to a
drug store and brought a box up to the
Office.
Il had not taken a quarter of that
box before / found that they would
do all the work my stomach ever did
and as a rest or vacation was out of
the question for me, determined to
give my stomach a vacation. I kept
right on taking the tablets and braced
up and went ahead with my work
with renewed vigor, ate just SO much
as I ever did and carried out that In-
dertaking to a successful issue. I feel
that I have Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
to thank for saving me the handsom-
est fee ever received as well as my
reputation and last but not least my
stomach
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale BY al druggists at SO cents a box

HERE'S ANOTHER swINDLE.
Man Borrows Money From Hotel
Clerks on Trunk Checks.

clerks on trunk AllGCk6s
Chicago. Dec. 8.-Through baggage
checks stolen from the Chicago & Al
ton railroad a new swindle has been
worked successfully during the past
ten days on hotels in Pittsburg, De
troit, Toledo, Cincinnati, Indianapolis
and other eastern cities.
The sWindler, who has given different
names at the various cities, has gone
to the best hotels and, after registering,
handed the clerk baggage check, say
ing. please have the porter get that
trunk and take it up to my room at
once; it's a big. heavy trunk, and must
be handled carefully"
The porter invariably failed to find
the trunk, and when he SO reported the
alleged owner would pretend to be very
indignant and say: I'll make it hot
for the railroad company if it dOesn' {
get my trunk mighty quick; I can't
leave the hotel till it comes.
After an hour or two the man would
confde to the clerk of the hotel that
he was short of ready cash, having left
his purse in other clothing which was
in the trunk. He usually asked for q
loan of either SO or SIS, a sum which
would not arouse the suspicion of the
hotel clerk that the man was anything
but what he professed to be-a business
man from a western city. AS the clerk
had the check for the mans trunk he
for by the stranger. AS soon as he got
the money he left the hOtel-and never
retuCned. AS a souvenir the hotel clerk
had a baggage check which never has
been attached to a trunk and cOnse-
quently was worthless. The Alton has
not yet learned when, where, or by
whom its baggage checks were stolen.
