NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
nSw Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life wretched for
Many Years.


TIE immediate causes Of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In an@min the blood
is scanty or thin; the nerves are imper-
fectly rorrished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. Tn
colds tho blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritctes
the nerves and produces pain. In rneu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in 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 at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
tho pain but do not drive tho poison out
Of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women in particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anmmia.

(This department has been requested to give technical instruction in jiu-jitsu as applied to practical affairs of every day life. This is Lesson I)
 Suppose you are collector who weighs eighty-eight pounds. dressed, and have a one mlllimeter chest expansion.

 The man refuses to give up the money though he admits that he owes IL and has 1t in his desk.
 If you can get him to hold still long enough, take a firm hold of his right eyeball, close up to the socket. and with the other hand twist his tongue.
 He will pay you the money at once. and no doubt apologize.
 This is so much better than the old. brutal ways Of doing those things.
 And so easy and reasonable.

 True to her word scarcely had MT and Mrs. Strong seated themselves at the table when Minnie came in. bearing two objects carefully covered over with bits of white cloth. One of these she placed beside her fathers plate. the other at her mothers.
 ''Unveil and behold your sculptured busts." she demanded. stepping back and folding her little arms behind her with an assumed professional alr;
 Simultaneously Mir. and Mrs, strong removed the cloth coverings from the objects and to their surprise and delight saw two very eleVerly cut-out potato busts of themselves:

 "Hello, Tim. l thought you were drowned" he exclaimed. as he saw the hero of the accident. almost naked. dry ing his clothing.
 "rhis is the second time people thought that" answered Tim; but l am good for a long time on earth yet"
 You will do Tim" returned the Doc tor. And then he related how he had met Oliver, initiating the boy. until Tim laughed heartily. Then, as Tim related his version of the adventure the physi- elan polzed the fire. saw things were In proper condition to dry rapidly and pre- pared a stimulant, which he insisted on Tim swallowing This done. he forced on the boy his own muffler and said:
 .Now, when these clothes get dry, dress again, wrap your throat and chest thoroughly with this muffler. so you won't take cold. step lively. and you will get along all light. It will take more than this to kill a boy like you. As soon as I return from a sick call in the coun- try will come to your home to see how you are getting along"
 And he was off.
 Half an hour later Tim emerged from the hut and started for town. He was tolerably dry, and his head was bun dled up till he was almost unrecogniz- able. He had not proceeded very far until he saw a rig being driven toward him at breakneck speed. The occupants gave him scarcely glance as they came alongside, but dashed furiously on. Behind them came another rig, ana De- yond them was faintly outlined Tn the fog a light cutter and behind 1t another and another. The second one passed him. but the third halted. and one or the occupants. MT. Dolans called to him cheerily;

Minnie, The Little Potato Cutter.
BY MAUD WALKER.

Mamma. please give me three big. raw potatoes, begged 1o-year-old Min nie Strong. as she watched her mother peeiing potatoes to cook for dinner
 "Why. what can my little daughter want with three big raw potatoes?' asked Mrs. Strong. stopping work long enough to kiss her little girls check. which was temptingly near her own. "Wouldn't she prefer to wait and have them cooked. soft and mealy? I fear they would prove rather lndgestible diet as they are-raw. oh. my!'
 But I don't wish to eat em. mamma" protested Minnie. "Stil l don't want you to ask me what I intend to do with cm, please, for that Is a secret But shall show you after while honest Iniun. I will; something that will make you and papa both laugh. May have 'em?'
 For answer Mrs. Strong picked out three large. smooth potatoes and handed them to her little girl, smiling indul- gently as she did so. Minnie took them in her apron and ran up stairs to her own room, closing and locking the door. so that no one might intrude on her privacy. Several times before the din- ner hour Mrs. Strong crept on tiptoe to Minnie's room door. where she listened quietly: but not sound from within cid she hear and she withdrew as eau tiously as she had come. for she did not wish to disturb her little daughter who she knew must be very intent on some work, as to be silent meant to be busy with Minnie.
 When the dinner was all on the table Mrs Strong stepped to the foot of the stairs and called to her little daughter.

The Second Time Tim Was Drowned
BY CHARLES LINCOLN pnIFER.

It wasn't a fog that overhung the earth. but kind of a smoky gray, giv- ing an unusual appearance to every thing. It wasn't very cold for winter. It wasn't showing, yet looked like 1t was going to. And skating was fine out at the Dollar Hole.
 The Dollar Hole was a mile and half east of town, and, paraphrasing from the earliest poet: Tt lay by hut by the side of the road and was a friend to men" Little men, especially. The boys went swimming there in summer and skating there in winter. and the unoc- cupied hut was used as a dressing-room, when it was warm and a place to warm when 1t was cold. In the winter the boys kept an old stove in the hut, and It was an unwritten law, seldom violated, that every skater should gather an arm- ful of fagots ere he left the pond. so that everyone might have q chance to warm his fingers and ears when occa- sion offered A
 Why was it called the Dollar Hole? l don't know, unless it was because the man who digged it had so much sense (cents). Is that not good reason? No one l ever saw could give better one for this peculiar name. @

It seemed to him long time since he went under. though in reality 1t was only a few moments. and he was sure Tim must be already dead. Then panic seized him. and. like many another per son who meant to be heroic. but under pressure became 0 coward. he turned wide-eyed toward town, running as though pursued by the spirit of his drowning friend, stopping not until al- most exhausted. and even then stagger- ing on.
 Meanwhile Tim. under the water, re- mained cool. Perhaps the icy bath was conducive to that result. He was an expert swimmer, and consequently was net thrown into confusion by being un- der water. His feet touched bottom and he strengthened up. or tried to- but there was a wall above him which would not permit him to stand erect. He knew at once that he was under the unbroken ice. and rapidly reasoned that he could probably break the ice quicker than he could find the hole into which he plunged. He put his shoulders against 1t and strengthened himself up with all his force. The back muscles were pow erful. the ice was already weakened by breakage, and with a crash it troke again. letting his head out of the water With one hand he wiped the dripping water from his eyes and face and had a momentary vision of Oliver racing down the road. But he had no time to lose, for already he was shivering Bracing himself for a spring and aiding himself with his arms, he bounced al- most on top of the Ice, and In a few moments was out and making for the hut.
