Sinking Spells, Headaches, Rheumatism,
All Caused by Poor Blood-Cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
When Mrs. Williams was asked for
some details Of the fearful illness from
which she had SO long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
"Ever since I had nervous prostration,
about thirteen years ago, have had
periodical spells of complete exhaustion.
Any excitement or unusual activity
would throw mo into state of ifeless-
ness. At the beginning my strength
would come back in q moderate time,
but the period of weakness kept length
ening until at last would lie helpless
as many as three hours at stretch"
"You were under medical treatment,
Of course?'
eyes, when became 80 bad that I
had to give up my homework, in May of
1908, was being treated for kidney
trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change Of life. [
was not only weak, but i had dizzy
feelings, palpitation Of tho heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains in the back and
hips. The doctor did me so little good
that gave up his treatment, and really.
feared that my case was incurable.''
"What saved you from your state Of
hopelessness?
"In July of 1908 I had a very bad
spell, and my husband came in one day
with little book which told Of remark
able cures effected by a remedy for the
blood and the nerves, DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He bought box for me, and
that was the beginning Of my return to
health. Myappetite grew keen, my food
no longer distressed me, my nerves WERE
quoted, and my strength began to re-
vive."
"How long did you take this remedy?"
"For two months only. At the end:
Of that time I had regained my health
and cheerfulness, and my friends say
that am looking better than / have
done for the past fifteen years."
Mrs. Lizzie Williams is now living at
No. 416 Cedar street. Quincy, Illinois.
The pills which she praises so highly,
cure all diseases that come from inn
poverished blood. If your system is all
run down, DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
the very best remedy to take. Any drug
gist can supply them.

ton is being reviewed. Mr.. Morton is
not easily worried. but the attempt OF
opposition newspapers to discredit him
as cabinet office because he is connect
ed with a railroad that at one time gave
rebates nettles him at times He also
has to endure the charge that he is still
drawing salary from the railroad Pres
ident Roosevelt enjoys INVITING his close
friend and secretary of the navy on the
ordeals through which the latter is pass
ing.
Don't allow yourself to he worried,
Morton" the president said the other
day, after he had poked little fun at the
secretary because Of the double salary
charge. The next thing we are likely
to see in the newspapers is that you are
drawing railroad salary and giving half
of it to me-" 1t is needless to say that
all this criticism does not shake the con-
fidence the president has in his secretary
of the navy.
The fact that Mr. Morton up to 1896
was democrat, and that he is the son
of the late Secretary Of Agriculture ].
Sterling Morton, staunch Cleveland
democrat, is frequently commented
upon by those who wish to make him
trouble. This sort of criticism does not
worry Mr.. Morton in the least. He de-
saying that he was Theodore Roose-
welt democrat and J. Sterling Morton
republican.

Until 1887 there was no public tele-
phone service in Japan. The first city
systems were installed in Toxic and
Yokohama in 1890 and these were
followed shortly by others. until at
the end of 1901 there were 179 public
stations, with p city systems and 25,.
600 subscribers. At the same time 25,-
600 other persons were demanding
telephone service. The telephone and
telegraph apparatus in Japan is of the
most modern type. as progress else
where is followed closely. In fact. there
is no line of modern activity in which
the Japanese is outdone.

political contest,


the interests and notions OF all concerned
is quite another undertaking. Every
body wants a finger in the new charter
pie.
Perhaps the most serious problem
which will confront the trainers of thu.
new charter when they get to work will
be the question of the preservation OF
the present prohibitory districts of the
city. OF which there are two, EnglewooG
and Hyde Park The residents of these
sections are thoroughly alive to the stu
alton, and mass meetings have been he's!
and committees appointed to see that
the peculiar interests of these residence
districts are safeguarded.
Before Chicago reached out and swal-
lowed up the many suburbs which had
sprung up all around her. many of these
places had secured special protection
from the saloons. by having incorporat-
ed in their charters certain districts in
which the saloon should not be allowed
to come. When annexation to the CITY
was voted it was on the strict condition
that these prohibitory districts be main
tanned. Several times since coming into
the city questions have arisen which
have seemed to imperil the safety and
continuance of these saloonless sections.
but each attack of the saloon interests
has been met by such spirited opposition
that the residents have always come our
victorious.

Perhaps one of the scvcrest of eti-
quotes in Japan is that of smiles.
When you have lived in that land of
smiles you will learn in time that
when you can understand Japanese
smile you may hope to understand the
people. A daughter-in-law must al
ways present a smiling face TO her
mOther-in-law: the servant must smile
when his mistress dsnisses him. But
the news of a death MUS be told with
laughter. Laughter is reserved for
very special occasions and has no re-
lation to joy. 1t may be called an ar.

supported faithfully by the majority
members. When the passage of a meas
ure is decided upon by a majority caucus
the whip" must begin his work by see
ing every majority member and persuad-
ing him to keep himself in readiness to
answer roll calls and keep a quorum
present to do business. Another part OF
his duty is to quietly circulate among
The majority members and ascertain by
interviews and inquiries how they stand

ture that is likely to be brought up for

stand on the questions of tariff revision
and federal control of interstate freight

in the session, and by quiet. persistent
inquiries and canvasSes was able to re-
port to Speaker Cannon that the major
ity OF the republicans believed that some
thing ought to be done on both of these
subjects. This report he made at the
celebrated conference recently at the
white house, when President Roosevelt
called nine members of the house and
senate together to consider if tariff re-
vision should be undertaken and when.

appointed when the republican whip"
made his report. as he had hoped a ma

Tawney's figures, however, and, as he
believes in majority rule, he will not in

of amendments to tariff schedules.

reform in the matter of reviewing stands
from which the general public that cares
to pay one dollar or two dollars for seats
can view the splendid inaugural parade.
The proposition now being considered
is to use the ellipse just south Of the
white house. This is an oval shaped plat
of ground, many acres in extent, and
around which runs a broad macadam-
lied driveway. 1t is proposed to erect
stand completely around this ellipse in
the form Of an amphitheater. At one
point in it would be the grand stand,
where the president and the distin-
suished personages could review the
marching columns. The parade would
move around the driveway and would be
in full view as it passed the entire ellipse.
Such stand would be of tremendous
extent and accommodate probably IS, 900
people.
On former occasions the inaugural
parade passed in front of the white
house, which necessitated break from
Pennsylvania avenue up Fifteenth
street to the north OF the treasury, and
made it necessary for the marchers to
execute two movements just before pass
ing the reviewing stand, and it some
times threw the best drilled bodies of
men out of line, which they did not al
ways recover when they came within
sight of the president. Ii the big review
ing stand Is provided, no others will be
erected. and the historic Pennsylvania
avenue will be free from these unsightly
structures, and the visiting throngs will
have an unobstructed use Of the side
walks from the capitol to the treasury.
