SPIRIT OF THE NORTHWEST
Energy and Enterprise of Men Who
Have Made That Section
of Country.

The horseback era followed the navi-
cation of the streams, and then the
railroad came to hang the great spaces
of the west with cities like long cir
cults of electric lights waving along a
boulevard, says Worlds Work.
With the railroad the westerner
passed away, leaving the American cit
szen proud of his section. With the
ranlroad came the period of town
building and town booming, wherein
the men from the east, travelling
westward in a Pullman, ~endeavored TO
make fortunes overnight in real estate
gambling. 1t took the collapse of the
boom and the awful years that made
Kansas bleed and populism prosper to
teach them that they had found a new
empire.
In these men are now blended the
traits of the cowboy and of the real
estate man, of the vigilante and the
student of law, but added to all these
is the conservatism of the capitalist
and the responsibilities of success.
They plunge" less now, since they
have more to protect. But they are the
same adaptable, energetic, optimistic
spirits who pushed the pioneer ahead
and created for themselves great
wealth where only opportunity await
ed their coming. They are still push
ing.
There are the men who have made
that three-fifths of the nation which
lies west of Chicago sc safe that the
| cliff jewellers of Manhattan have grown
richer by selling them their wares
from steel bridges to magazines, from
life insurance to Massachusetts stats
bonds. Their one care is a constant
watch for opportunity and their rule
honor is respect for every other mans
right to try.
They laugh when they win, because
success in a successful country meet
not b. taken too seriously. They laugh
also when they fail. because failure
amid so many opportunities is ludic
rous. They are crude and they NEE
their social problems in their wives
names. Their optimism is the optimism
of plenty; their conceit grows out o.
their achievements.
The New Yorker scornfully says
"vVhy should I go west? l have every
thing that is worth seeing right herr
in New York"
To this the American replies: Eyes
everything except the United States o.
America"
"You think you are the whole ma
ton" says the New Yorker.
NO" says the American. I'm only
a part owner. But | know my country
and my partners. You don't"

How n Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life wretched for
Many Years.

Many Years.
The immediate causes Of headaches
vary, but most of them come from pooI
or poisoned blood. In ananiia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourislied and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matisn. malaria and the grip, the poison
i'll the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures Mt best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain hut do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anamia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr.
Williams Pink Pills did me great deal
of good. had headache nearly all the

these pills becam entirely we'll"

"I saw in a southern newspaper q
statement of some person who was cured
of n like trouble by DIR. Williams Pink
