PROVES GREAT POWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.

u hundreds OF people afflicted with rheu.
matlsm have spent years under the care
o. excellent physicians i'll vain Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened on them for life. Mrs.
selllsnore was not willing to join the
ranks o. the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story:
Four years ago I suffered greatly
With rheumatism in my hands and
knees. After had been sitting a while
my limbs seemed so heavy could hardly
walk on the first attempt. So long as
kept moving / was all right, but just as
soon as stopped, something seemed to
settle III my knees and make them ache.
My hands We're SO bad I couldn't touch
the palms of them on fiat surface; they
were swollen and panied So
"Did you call i'll physician?'
doctored steadily for over year;
then one doctor said: You have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything STILL it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism.
How, then, did you get rid of it?''
cat different times I had read in vari-
Gus publications about DIR. Williams
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People,
and finally decided to try them. I took
them steadily for four months i'll ac-
cordance with the directions. BY that
time was completely cured''
"Have you been free from it ever
since?"
''Since then I have had but one slight
return of my trouble, and box or two Of
the same pills made me all right again"
Mrs. F. A. Dinsmore lives in hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health at
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed from the
grave anxieties that rheumatism always
brings. When it appears in buta single
Joint it shows that the blood is in faulty
state i'll the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one Of
the dangers is that it may break ont in
The heart and then the result must be
fatal. The only security is to keep the
blood all the time i'll perfectly sound
condition.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills make healthy
blood. All other relief is superficial.
This is thorough. These pills are sold
by all druggists.

RUSSIA SAYS JAPAN HAS BROKEN
PLEDGES TO SECRETARY
HAY.
WILL MAKE WAR ON CHINA
THREATENS TO CROSS LAO Riv-
Err AND INVADE NEUTRAL
ZONE.

st. Petersburg, Jan. Is. - RuSSia's
formal notification to the powers of
the imminent danger of a general up
rising in China as the result of a Jap
anese propaganda, which will threaten
all foreign interests, coupled with
general protest against Chinas repeat
ed violation of neutrality in connection
with Japanese operations, is really
warning to the powers that Russia re-
CARDS the situation as extremely seri-
Gus and considers that the time has
come for joint action by the powers
for the protection of their own inter-
ests. For herself, Russia considers
that Japan has broken the pledge she
made with respect to Secretary Hays
not at the
Beginning of the War,
and further persistence in this course
will, she considers, absolve her from
further observance and leave her free
to act for her own protection.
The present note followed two pre-
liminary warnings addressed to the
powers, one in October and the other
in November, neither of which was
needed" 1t has an entirely different
ring, setting forth breaches of Chinese
neutrality, including the Ryeshitelni
case, and also the use of the Miaotao
islands, belonging to China, as base
for the Japanese fleet; the constant
dispatch of contraband from various
Chinese ports; the employment of
Chinese soldiers in the Japanese army
and the
Hiring of Chinese Bandits
to attack Russian communications.
Should Gen. Ma or any Chinese troops
now move, Russia will feel free herself
to cross the Lao river into the neutral
zone AS for the powers, Russia be-
lieyes the situation has become seri-
GUS owing to the stimulus given anti
foreign agitation in China by the fall
Of Port Arthur.
In diplomatic circles considerable
Importance is attached to the note, and
in the general opinion it is designed to
induce Secretary Hay to initiate steps
to bring joint pressure to bear, in Or
der to prevent the extension of the
zone Of hostilities and to compel China
to adopt drastic measures against the
present agitation in the interior OF
that empire.

SUSPECTED.

Duluth. Jan. 15.-The district grand
jury report, submitted yesterday, con-
tains strong censure of the board of
commissioners of st. Louis county.
The report has more sensational feat
ures than any grand jury report Of
fered in years. 1t declares that, in
view of the grossly unbusinesslike
manner of transacting business" the
construction of the proposed new court
house for st. Louis county, which is to
cost half million dollars, should be
placed in the hands of commission to
be appointed by the district judges.
The county board has already taken
the preliminary steps toward the court
house project
Grave Charges Made.
The report says that the commits
sioners have allowed a tool house to
be built on private property and that
the county now has no claim on the
site. On this subject the report says
further: "One witness before this
jury testified that he worked twelve
days on the building during a certain
month. His foreman, the owner Of
the farm, retained the man upon his
pay roll as working during this time
upon road ten miles distant This
DILL was audited and passed.
"This same commissioner, who ap-
parently believes in erecting buildings
upon private property with county
money, was responsible for the build
S,,- 10 Sc
road at a cost of S4,650.71, or about
$1,000 per mile"
In Defiance of Law.
Continuing, the report says in part:
During the last year one of the com
missioners, as agent of chemical
company, furnished to the county a
quantity of bug poison for which he
put in bill of $500. This the board
audited and allowed. All this was ap-
parently in defiance of an express
statute which provides that no official
be indirectly Interested in such a
sale.
without warrant of law, time
checks are issued by the foremen upon
the county roads to the men. One wit
ness before the jury testified that he
had performed no work during De-
cember, yet his name was on the pay
roll for six days work and the bill was
audited and allowed.
Towns Deeply in Debt.
During the past few years large
bonded Indebtedness has been con-
tracted by certain towns and school
districts. In Rice Lake, town with
no extensive improvements, one-half
of the annual levy goes to pay the in
terest and furnish a sinking fund
I'VE suspect great irregularities in
the way of diversion OF public funds
from one fund to another, and espe-
cially from the sinking fund to the
general or road fund.
Elm flew of the above facts, we sug-
gest that the St. Louis county delega-
ton in the legislature urge the passage
of law providing for an inspector or
examiner Of the books and accounts of
these municipalities. We recommend

The pursuit of perfection. then, is
the pursuit of sweetness and light.
He who works for sweetness and light,
works to make reason and the will of
God prevail. He who works for ma
chinery, he who works for hatred,
works only for confusion. Culture
looks beyond machinery; culture
hates hatred; culture has one great
passion, for sweetness and light, and
one even yet greater, the passion for
making them prevail It seeks to do
away with classes; to make the. best
that has been known and taught in
the world current everywhere; to
make all men live in an atmosphere
of sweetness and light where they

them. This is the social idea, and the
